Progressing from a common housewife into a fearless woman who takes on the status quo of old Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi was determined to raise her children in a society that was free and understanding. She became an opposition leader and was determined to fight the oppression that was part of Burmese life. Her father, a general, was assassinated when she was but three years of age having been himself opposed to the old ways and pressed for democracy.his lush story is spectacular in scope and thanks to Luc Besson filmmaker from Paris is one of those life stories that has to be told. Besson's credits include Columbiana, Taken, and The Fifth Element and his testosterone laden thriller movies show he is big on action films but this one is more the thinker type. Michelle Yeoh who stars as Suu Kyi has proven to be an action type actress herself in roles such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.he message is that non-violence wins out over a repressed and violent society even if the head of the opposition is jailed. Aung San Suu Kyi spent a year imprisoned when she fought hard to win free elections for her fellow Burmese. Its those quiet leader types that eventually get the job done and she eventually won the Nobel Prize for her efforts.

You're innocent until proven otherwise. In some cases, proving another's innocence can be an inspiring life-long crusade. This is how real-life prisoners' rights advocate and lawyer, Betty Anne Waters inspired the Conviction movie. The 2010 Toronto Film Fest entry is a drama starred by Oscar winner, Hillary Swank, who plays as Betty Anne Waters—a single mother who went on to become a lawyer to prove his brother's innocence and bring him out of jail. Her brother, Kenneth Waters (Sam Rockwell) was wrongfully convicted for a murder in 1983. She struggled through law school and years of practice before she succeeded in his exoneration in 2001. The Conviction movie is set for a release in the U.S. on October 15, 2010.

Starring Meryl Streep as the intrepid Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady proves to be one of the most likely Oscar contenders to come along in quite a while. Thatcher was a tough Prime Minister and that was good because she reigned in particularly tough times. And this film depicts how very remarkable she was, how ambitious she was, and how she succeeded in a world full of strong men.argaret Thatcher was the Conservative Party leader from 1975 up until 1990 and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister from 1979 up to 1990. She was considered to be a war monger as well as a destroyer of the economy during her time of service. But there was far more to the woman than just her professional side and that's what this film is focusing on, her incredible strength and ability to triumph over the heavy odds against her. Being a woman made everything she accomplished all the more amazing and her accomplishments will long be remembered in the political history of the UK. Thatcher now reportedly suffers from Alzheimer's disease. It is interesting that an American actress is portraying a powerful leader in the UK, but if anyone can succeed it is Meryl Streep (Kramer vs Kramer, Silkwood, Momma Mia!).

Centered at the political fight around Emancipation Proclamation, filmed by Steven Spielberg in 2012, Lincoln tell us a story of struggle of the Americas most known president against his enemies both on the civil war frontline and in lobbies and meetings. Focused to cancel slavery in America, Lincoln faces a horrible emotional stress, especially when it comes to controversies with his cabinet. The astonishing Joseph Gordon-Levitt performance as Robert Todd Lincoln and brilliant play of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln are both overshadowed by pretentious play of Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, which, of course, means that genius Steven Spielberg's ability to gather fantastic cast ensemble took place this time too. The film generously depicts president political and family life, showcasing him not only as a hero, but as an ordinary man faced to the most glorious challenge of his life in the dramatic circumstances when whole nation is divided into two opposing camps and the authorities are torn by serious contradictions.
