Which non-Indian film did you watch recently

[groucho070]

Groucho,

I only listed his "recent films", it's been a decade or so since he ventured into Gangster films, yet he is conveniently bracketed. Based on true story, biopic, etc-lam velaikku agaadhu. He has transgressed different genres (not 'all' as I put it in reflex, I'll give you that much), and has redefined himself time and again.

Yeah, not all. But pretty impressive. Remember, he even made a musical, no matter how depressing it is. What bugs me is, rather than making something personal, he has gone into mainstream genre stuff. The last film that saw Scorcese in a Scorcese movie was Casino. Then, he did Kundun, subject matter that I was not interested in.

He did BOTD, which was as dozy as the protagonist (some nice Scorcese cinematographic touch there when the camera does a 180 degree pan upwards and downwards to track the ambulance).

After that GONY, where a very American Italian looking lead was suppose to be Irish! Irish!!! Athuvum sleep inducing-a irunthuchu.

The Aviator. Nice cinematography. Bad casting.

The Departed. Too bad, the original was far more awesome and again, De Caprio

Wait, what were we discussing?

[kid-glove]

You are discussing his lead casting. "Kundun" is very different from other Scorsese films, sort of like "Last temptation" of 90s, as in a change of style.

[*spoiler alert]It was also quite creepy how the real killer and the actor who portrayed him seemed very similar [end*]

I was not so sure. It is not that conclusive.

Oh yeah. Brace yourself with more bio. Nesstu is either or both on Sinatra or/and Theodore Roosevelt. And here's the "best" part, De Caprio is slated to play Teddy

I've given up on Scorcese. Really.

I don't bother much about Di caprio these days. He has shown signs of improvement.

[P_R]

Yeah groucho. Metoothinks he has improved. Jack Dawson drowned in the Atlantic and we applauded with shouts of 'good for you'. But he has become better since then.

He was pretty good in aviator. I particularly like the scene in the Aviator where he is negotiating with the reporter for the Spencer Tracey -Katherine Hepburn photographs.

But of course Teddy Roosevelt with a moustache and all I think he is venturing into comedy now

Neeggalumaa?

Sari, sari. Marupadiyum cable-a vanthuchu-na innoru murai paarkuren.

Anyway what about Ingrid?

She was the best part of the film (the German analyst was great too i thought) but ammani-yala kooda kaappaatha mudiyala!
She was great in Notorious too

I confused this with "Notorious", which is easily better I guess.

Absolutely! Liked Notorious and even Rear Window.

As you say, it reflects more of Woody and bohemian life style in and around Manhattan.
