SomaliNet Forums

i just finished watching the constant gardener, its about the corruption of pharmaceutical companies and how they use Africans as guinea pigs. It was meant to be set in kenya and southern sudan, but theres a couple of scenes in southern sudan where the african people are talking in somali. They were talking nonsense, the white people probably thought the somali was some kind of african trade language.


anyone else seen it?

yeah i remember that part of the movie. funny as hell.

Horrendous movie, and happened to own it. I guess I missed that part since I was bored outta my mind watching it.

Its funny because I was at my bros' place visiting and the movie was just sitting there. At first it sounding real boring to me but since I had nothing to do, I started watching it. Wallahi, I didnt even pause it to attend to something else the entire movie. Later, I just stole it from them and they think till today they lost the movie. Anyways, i remember the scene you are talking about, and I dont get it either.

Btw, I just finished watching Miss Potter, anyone watched it.

I didn't catch that part but that movie Dirty Pretty Things has a part where some bantus(probably nigerians) are speaking in a focked up somali.

wot u on about man... me and my girl went to c it when it came out, its a well directed movie with an amazing storyline

yeah i thought it was pretty stupid, speaking somali in southern sudan, but the cadaan people wouldnt have a clue.


as for the film, i found it pretty mediocre and much prefer blood diamonds and hotel rawanda

lol....was it about the migrant African doctor/surgeon who was forced to take out the Somali guy's kidney? yeah that guy's Somali was messed up....his dad was writhing in pain and all he could say was: "Aabo iska aamus"

I never watch any movie with 'African' theme. When i go to the movies i want to escape to beautiful places, not Dafur.

Auditioned for Black Hawk Down but was turned down for being too "realistic"

Constant Garderner brought out many scenes of my time in Kenya.

lol......Basra you should try out for 'The Simple Life' with Paris Hilton and them. nonetheless your blatant contempt for 'low people' is funny at times

saw it some 3 years ago. good movie. loved the ending.
