Imagine a world where exposing the wrongdoing of government officials and corporations actually leads to them being brought to justice . . . what a beautiful fantasy so unlike our own reality.
This is what a mindset unfavorable to the personal carrying of weapons brings upon us. These people knowingly act without restraints and with a "justice system" and the official (state or private) media in their pockets, because they have the monopoly of violence thus they get away with the things they do. Only way of changing the situation is to have the will for it.
People always say that "The Constant Gardener" is about the wrongdoings of pharmaceutical companies and of the governments that turn a blind eye. And about the exploitation of (cheap) third world lives for the benefit of first world profits. Of course it is (also) about that. That is the geopolitical, economic canvas on which the story is painted. But the real beating heart of all this, is a human story. I will always remember "The Constant Gardener" as one of the greatest and saddest love stories I have ever read or seen. It is great as a book and even greater as a film (one of those rare occasions in which the film is better than the already awesome book). Sure, the story involves drug companies and shady tactics and politics and diplomacy (or the lack thereof). But for me it is first and foremost the tragic story of a man who only truly comes to love his wife deeply and totally after she is dead and gone. Justin probes into Theresa's past after her murder, trying to solve a mystery and fearing to find seedy details of betrayal, but instead he comes to admire her more and more for her courage and determination, that become clear to him in a way he never saw while she was alive. Which makes his "suicide by assassins" truly a journey to his spiritual home: the wife that he know loves more than ever before. Incredible movie.
A great, yet underrated film. Very sad ending, as a decent man trying to uncover the reasons and persons behind his wife's death dies too; they both got in the way of money and power. But the funeral scene is the redemption, as the chief conspirator is outed before all right after his own bullshit, con job of a eulogy. The look on his face at 2:04 is priceless; "Whoops, I'm screwed! Guess I forgot to take care of one loose end".
What do you mean, underrated? I swear people are slapping that label on everything nowadays. God, Return of the King was so underrated! Star Wars--super underrated! This movie was nominated for 4 oscars and won one, and it was a big box office success.
I keep telling people to run watch this movie after those french doctors suggested a vaccine for COVID-19 should be tested in Africans. I'm like, "Hmmm, where have I heard that before...?"
I bet they didn't want to do it they didn't want to kill him but they were forced to I just hope they buried him next to his wife in the end after that
Beautiful film , reminds me of the tragic mistake of HIV leading to Aids theory & how wrong they got it , please look at a Neville Hodgkinson interview
Is this actually true So cruel and heartless around the world Wish we were free from evil and torture and governments viruses being experiments ,having violence live in fear Life is short and goes so quick at least we should live happy and with less pain from all that but there’s always those bad people who want to hurt others
Yes, a bizarre one where he shot himself eight times with three different guns. And those armed guys approaching him at the end were just there to say hello.
Más bien lo suicidaron como decimos acá en Colombia, con todos los que "suicidan" por pensar diferente (léase Gaitán, Galán, Pizarro, Gómez Hurtado, Jaime Garzón, ente otros).

In the book he was buried next to his wife and son in Africa.
