On the Waterfront-1954 brando movie.
A done to death story elevated by the setting,script and execution by Elia kazan.
Brando was good but was more impressed by the supporting cast esp the one who played the priest.
Somehow went on imagining Kamal in Brando's role and how he would have electrified the screen with his presence and how he would have played the role.
Next:"Street Car named desire" by the same Brando/Kazan team.
I liked this movie too. Bit too touching though :(Quote:

ரொம்ப நாளைக்கு அப்புறம் ஒரு படம் ஊன் வரை சென்று தொட்டதென்றால் அது "Marley & Me". கடைசி இருபது நிமிடங்கள் தொண்டையெல்லாம் அடைத்து, கண்ணில் நீர் தட்டி... படம் பார்த்து அரை மணி நேரமாவது depressive state-க்கு அழைத்து சென்று விட்டது Marley . நாய்கள் மேல் எனக்கு இதுவரை இல்லாத பாசம், இந்தப் படத்தின் மூலம் அதிகம் கூடிவிட்டது. Owen Wilson - Jennifer Aniston இருவருக்கும் இடையே மலரும் பிணைப்பும் அழகான முறையில் சித்தரிக்கப் பட்டிருக்கிறது.
இயக்குனர் David Frankel-க்கு :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
நானும் அழுது விட்டேன். :oops:Quote:

Yes.. A heartwarming movie which will leave you speechless for the last 30 minutes.
INVICTUS..
Awesome.. Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar are stunning. Definitely a movie to watch! Has the film been released in India?

It's not question of not liking. But it's just that Freeman's interpretation seems uniform, regardless of the kind of roles. Maybe he was always destined to play Mandela, but the kind of pristine, honorable demeanor, the "gravitas" or what have you, is amply evident in his earlier roles & his own personality, that eventually one finds nothing different in Mandela role. He kind of mimes the accent to differ a bit. But even that didn't help. In my case..
