Download Highlander: The Source Full Movie In Hindi Dubbed In Mp4-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/r5svu -----------------------------------------Duncan MacLeod and his fellow Immortals quest to locate the Grail of their world.The world is falling into chaos. As he roams a crumbling city, Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander, remembers happier times before the love of his life left... Hopeless and alone, MacLeod finds his way to a band of immortal companions, including his mysterious friend Methos, and a mortal, Watcher Joe Dawson. Together this small group sets out on a quest to find the origin of the first Immortal and The Source of their immortality.I don't understand the hate for this movie. It's obvious that the movie has problems; in particular, it needs another twenty minutes of running time and more budget, but if those are the problems, it means there's still plenty of good ideas to enjoy.
The movie's biggest problem is that it sets up a whole lot of ideas and then doesn't follow through with them. The practical effect here is that thinking about anything going on will, every single time, lead one to realize that none of it actually makes sense. The characters, often maligned as flat, over the top, or, at the worst, simply phoned in by the actors, are actually the most interesting and sensible part of the movie. This is a big reason why the movie needs more running time, so it can include the expected flashbacks to previous decades and centuries And it should explore Reggie and Giovanni, and why they've been lead to where they are now. We know plenty about Duncan and Methos already. Reggie's Jack Sparrow attitude about perceived insanity and his insinuation that he was in the military are hints about his character that would've been great plot points. The writers could've concocted whatever BS they wanted to make it relevant and it still would've worked fine. As for Giovanni, the guy's an immortal Catholic priest with enough zealotry and instability to scare Fred Phelps. His backstory could probably make a movie in its own right.
The fact of the matter is, the characters are interesting already if you watch closely, but there needed to be more effort to make it actually matter. I'm also outright baffled that people use "The Guardian is ridiculous" as a criticism. Anyone who says this will invariably turn around and say that the original Highlander was either the best movie, or the only movie that should've been made, period. Was everyone watching a different movie than I was? Because I remember the Kurgan licking priests and scaring hookers with his level of kink. Ridiculousness in Highlander villains is hardly a thing to criticize. Duncan fought demons in the series like he was Buffy.
Naturally, the plot suffers the same problems as the characters; it's relevancy is simply not explained. Why does the Guardian just kill Reggie and Giovanni instead of giving them their chance to make the same choice Duncan does? If he believes they've already failed the test - Giovanni can obviously be explained this way - why isn't there a single line of dialog even hinting at it? This is even contradicted in the Elder's flashback sequence, which clearly shows two of the immortals from the last celestial alignment trying for the Source, and the Elder is implied to have been cursed because he skipped the Guardian altogether without being tested. Is there some kind of malfunction going on with the current Guardian? One might say there SHOULD be, given that the Elder never talks about the old Guardian leaving the Source and coming to them like he does with Duncan and friends. Methos even suggests that the Guardian's sole purpose for leaving the Source is to hunt down the specific immortals seeking it. Maybe he's trying to win the Prize the old-fashioned way? And yet, this is explored no further. It would've taken very little dialog to give these things some justification and logic, and more runtime could've let the movie do it better than just having throwaway lines.
Finally, I also don't understand the general opinion that the Russian cut of the film is better- sorry, "less bad" than the Sci-Fi cut. Anna's opening and closing narrations are, at best, annoying. At worst, they're outright stupid, especially the ending monologue where there can be no question that the meaning of the Game and the Prize is being completely retconned. With the Sci-Fi version, you at least get the implication that it's an alternative to winning the Prize if you don't want to play the Game, instead of saying "lol the immortals have been wrong all this time even though it totally cheapens the entire franchise to wantonly change this fact that has been established since the beginning." Was doing that in Highlander 2 not enough to prove it's a bad idea?I had expectations about this film especially after Endgame, which was in my opinion excellent. The source fell short in every category. Acting is just terrible, no emotions is seen from any of them. however this is probably not the actors fault, but directors who wanted to give the movie style by taking away its soul. And the movie really is nicely stylized. The editor did what he could (looks a bit like Man on fire), but couldn't save the movie from poor direction and the lack of story. So this are the biggest problems with this movie.
It starts in the near future and sets its characters on a detective mission to find out what is it all about. And then the main characters just start driving around.. There is absolutely no character development (spoilers: why did Ana suddenly changed her mind, what is happening with Methos, he is a good leader and suddenly, near the end said something like: "I wouldn't do that for you" where is this coming from?, Duncan is from start to finish absolutely the same, even thou the only story that exist in the film is the story about Duncans inner battle to accept that "He is the ONE".) If we look just the outlines of the film: Mad Max envoierment, Man on fire editing in a Duncan McLoud world, I would give the movie 10 out of 10, but the writers were obviously interrupted on a Holiday (lazy writing) and the director missed the point of all the other highlander movies and the Highlander series. If it weren't a Higlander movie I would give it a 4 but because it is I give it a 1!In a near apocalypic future, immortal Highlander Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), accompanied by his mortal wife Anna Teshemka (Thekla Reuten) and ex-Watcher Joe Dawson (Jim Byrnes), joins fellow immortals Methos (Peter Wingfield), Reggie Weller (Stephen Wight), Zai Jie (Stephen Rahman Hughes), and Cardinal Giovanni (Thom Fell) in a quest for the source of their immortality that will pit them all against the supernatural Guardian (Cristian Solimeno) of the Source. There can be only One. The Source is described as "a holy grail of peace and salvation". It is not a being but an event, a time when all the celestial bodies in our galaxy, the Milky Way, will line up with the central sun, allowing the earth to be bombarded with cosmic radiation, thought by many scientists to have been the trigger for "life", that is, the moment when life is created out of previously inert matter. Some Immortals, like Duncan, think the Source is a myth. Others, like Methos, Zai Jie, Reggie, and Cardinal Giovanni believe it to be real, but no one knows for sure. Highlander: The Source is a sequel to Highlander: Endgame (2000) (2000), which itself is a sequel to Highlander III: The Sorcerer (1994) (1994) and Highlander (1986) (1986). Highlander II: The Quickening (1991) (1991) subverts aspects of the rest of the series and it is unclear whether it is considered canon. The screenplay for The Source was co-written by Stephen Kelvin Watkins and Mark Bradley. A sixth Highlander movie, Highlander, said to be a remake of the original Highlander, is planned but no release date is given. We are given no time frame. Endgame is estimated to have taken place in 2004, but all we are given in The Source is that the world has fallen into chaos and decay with no law or justice, only death and destruction, perhaps even the start of the Apocalypse, all of which probably takes a few years to happen, and no explanation or timeframe is given for the happening. There also must have been a sufficient number of years passing for Duncan to get over his Endgame wife Kate and meet, fall in love with, marry, and separate from his Source wife Anna (Thekla Reuten). Yet, Joe Dawson is there. Dawson is mortal, so not too many years could have passed. Best guess is maybe 5-10 years. In episode "The Darkness" of the TV series, a gypsy foretold that Duncan would have many lovers but never marry. Apparently, gypsy fortune tellers aren't always right. Duncan was married to Kate in Endgame, and he refers to Anna as his wife in The Source. Although Anna claims that Duncan is the only man she ever loved, she left him because, as an Immortal, he could not give her a child. The Guardian is described as a "riddle that cannot be solved" and a "force that cannot be defeated." Millennia ago, before recorded time, possibly even before Methos, another band of Immortals also sought the Source. All but three of them (two men and a woman) perished along the way, because Immortals lose their immortality as they get closer to the Source. They killed the reigning Guardian of the Source, but in doing so failed the Source's test of purity. One was cursed to become the new Guardian, and the other was cursed to a life of decay, now looked after as "the Elder" by the Brothers of Doleo at the Zagora Monastery. While the film doesn't reveal what exactly happened to the female immortal who was present, we later see in a flashback that she looked identical to Anna, raising the possibility that Anna is a non-immortal reincarnation of her. Methos says that the astonishing alignment of the planets could be due to "orbital wobble." When two objects, like the earth and the moon, orbit each other, they share a barycenter or "center of mass", the point at which the two objects would balance if supported at that point only. When the two objects are approximately equal in mass, that barycenter is halfway between them, like two people of equal weight sitting on opposite ends of a seesaw. If the mass of one of the items is greater than the other, the barycenter begins to move closer to the heavier object. If the larger object is so massive that the barycenter falls within the object itself, the larger object will seem to wobble in its orbit. This is one method by which astronomers are able to detect the presence of a smaller object, e.g., a moon, that is affecting the orbit of a larger object, e.g., a planet. However, Reggie denies orbital wobble as an explanation for all the planets suddenly lining up because "it's outside the laws of celestial mechanics". Conclusion: it's the Source. Reggie pinpoints the alignment over an island. No coordinates are given, but the Source Seekers hop a boat called the Rekyva, which sounds like it could hail from someplace like Iceland or Russia. Unfortunately, when they reach the island, they find that it is inhabited by cannibals. The Guardian leads Anna towards the Source, leaving behind Giovanni, Duncan, and Methos, who have been captured by the cannibals and strung up for meat. Giovanni manages to free himself but refuses to free Duncan and Methos, believing this to be a sign that he is the One. Duncan gets free, and he frees Methos. When the cannibals find that their meat has escaped, they go in pursuit. Duncan and Methos come upon Giovanni being beaten by the cannibals. Methos wants to leave him, but Duncan jumps in to help Giovanni. Realizing that Duncan is more uncorruptible than himself, Methos orders Duncan to keep going towards the Source, jumps on a horse, and leads the cannibals away. Giovanni is subsequently beheaded by the Guardian. Duncan catches up with Anna, who is watching the planets moving into alignment. Suddenly, the Guardian leaps between them and reminds Duncan that he must still kill him, too...for there can be only One. As the planets move into alignment, Duncan and the Guardian battle each other, until Duncan is placed in the position of beheading the Guardian. Duncan refuses, saying, "I'm done with this." The Guardian implodes. Duncan joins Anna in the light of the Source. In the final scene, which takes place sometime in the future, Anna tells Duncan that she can feel his child growing within her. The Prize was the ability for Duncan, an Immortal, to father a child. Yes. After Anna reveals to Duncan that she is pregnant with their baby and Duncan had won the Prize, Anna gives birth to a baby boy. They name him Connor, after Connor McLeod, fellow Immortal and Duncan's kinsman, and they raise him in Connor and Duncan's native homeland—the highlands of Scotland. Yes and No. Highlander: The Source was originally planned to be the first chapter of a trilogy but was abandoned. Peter Davis sold the rights to Summit Entertainment for a remake and, on May 20th, 2008, it was announced that the Highlander film franchise was to be rebooted, with the 1986 film remade. Screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were working on the screenplay, and Peter Davis was to return to produce it. Highlander: The Source might as well be the conclusion of the original series of Highlander films with Duncan entering the source and learning he is "The One". There are numerous small trims to scenes in the US cut, a lot of it to the Guardian's dialogue. Numerous effects shots which were incomplete in the Russian cut were also polished and improved in the US cut. Here are some of the major differences
- The Russian cut credits the screenplay to Stephen Kelvin Watkins and David Abramowitz. By the time the US cut was released, Abramowitz had demanded the removal of his credit, and Joel Soisson had successfully claimed credit under the pseudonym of Mark Bradley.
- The US cut opens with a lengthy narration by Anna, explaining who Duncan and Zai Jie are, and revealing that the Source is considered to be the Immortal's version of the Holy Grail. The Russian cut lacks this narration, and instead identifies Duncan and Zai Jie (and Methos, Reggie and Giovanni) with text captions.
- There are more scenes showing Anna and Duncan wandering through the decrepit city where the film's intro takes place in the Russian cut. Some of the flashback material showing the two's past also takes place at an earlier point than in the US cut.
- When Methos mentions orbital wobble as a potential explanation for the planets moving in the Russian cut, Reggie replies "fucking hell, Methos, use some sense!" before explaining that such an occurrence is impossible. In the US cut, Reggie merely replies that orbital wobble doesn't explain the planets moving.
- There is more dialogue between Duncan and the Guardian when they first meet in the Russian cut. In particular, the Guardian repeats much of Duncan's dialogue in a mocking tone, something he also does with the other characters throughout the movie. Duncan also specifically tells the Guardian who he is in the Russian cut, while in the US cut it isn't explained how the Guardian knows Duncan.
- In the Russian cut, the Elder just says that Immortals who approach the Source will grow weaker. In the US cut, he explicitly warns the group that the Source will strip them of their immortality and turn them into normal humans.
- Joe's death scene is slightly shorter in the US cut.
- When saving the harbormaster from the cannibals, in the Russian cut Reggie takes off toward the cannibals without consulting the others; in the US cut the Immortals all attack at once.
- While Duncan, Anna, Methos and Giovanni flee through the forest from the cannibals, the US cut has a rock song playing over the scene, and the Russian cut has part of the orchestral score playing.
- During the final battle between Duncan and the Guardian, the Russian cut has Anna start spinning around like a top before taking off into the sky. In the US cut she just stands at the edge of the pit for the duration of the battle.
- After being defeated, in the Russian cut the Guardian taunts Duncan at length over the deaths of Joe and Reggie, making it more obvious to the audience that his motive is to dupe Duncan into killing him and releasing him from his curse, while turning Duncan into the new Guardian. The US cut just moves straight to the Guardian demanding that Duncan take his head.
- Once the Guardian vanishes, in the Russian cut Duncan takes off into the sky following Anna, before we see the two in the Source, and Anna announcing that she is pregnant, after which the movie ends. In the US cut, after the Guardian is vanquished there is a montage and another narration from Anna, who explains that the rationale for the Immortals' Game was in fact a misconception all along, and that "there can be only one" really means that only the most pure-hearted of all Immortals could claim the Source. By comparison, the Russian cut has Duncan and Methos expressing their doubts about the Game, but never explicitly invalidates it in the same way the the US cut does.
