Which non-Indian film did you watch recently

I recommend the original, Profumo di donna. Less schematic story and more complex characters (and acting)..
Vittorio Gassman >>> Pacino

Konjam exaggeration thevai, so that people will get to watch Gassman's performance (and how Pacino lifts many aspects from him)

It's comparable to Robert Mitchum >>> Deniro (Cape Fear Original vs Remake)

Deniro and Pacino are both great actors, in both instances, look a bit phony (De niro especially is cartoonish in Cape Fear) when you've watched the original..

Poor wife, now I am going to introduce 2001: A Space Odyssey :wink:

Mrs. Grouch: (after screening over), so what does the ending means?
Grouch: :shock: :? :oops: Can we watch Goundamani comedy now? I'll translate all the lines :oops2:

I agree with Mitchum's superior performance, but there is a bit of a camp element in the remake. Realism is not the thing here, and De Niro hammed it up to fit into what is essentially a revenge thriller. Remember it was supposed to be made by Spielberg who would have made it a bit more lightweight. Bobby-ku nomination veera koduttanggapaa if at all you care about Oscar :roll:

*the eyeroll was for Oscar, not your comment :D

The Shining. My first Kubrick film, turned out to be a stunner. Creepy at many many many places.

The first scene at the maze (the mom and the kid there, Nicholson playing with a ball in the house), all the scenes in which the kid pedals the cycle, the scene in which the wife reads the script, "You were always the caretaker sir!".. ah.. many scenes :shock:

Jack Nicholson :clap: The actress who played the lead was good too. Great casting, I would say. At few places, her reactions were too realistic that it appeared funny. (Oru maadhiri bayandhu bayandhu sirichEn :P ) She was nominated for a Razzie for this film!

Could guess there is a strong social subtext to the film. Could see a site dedicated to the film, aNu aNuvaa aaraanjirukkaanga. padikkaNum!

Watch Dr. Strangelove. IMO, that is kubrick's best.

As you go older, you go backwards I suppose. I feel strongly about his Paths of Glory these days :think:
