from love in alaipayuthu,mouna raagam
patriotism in roja,uyirae

childishness in anjali, kannathil muththamittal
hatred in agninatchathiram
untouchabiliy in indhira
friendship and mother-son senti in thalapathy

Hmmm....true. Perhaps I haven't watched it that carefully (like the scales stuff). But the 'jobs jobs' chant during the titles is as subtle as pronouncing the b is subtle.Quote:

So the charges against MR apply to BR too, sometimes in greater measure.
I like the dialogues in ThalApathi but not the artificially laconic "yEn / dEva" but the other ones.Quote:

You really feel it when MAdhavan says "unakku velai EdhudA kaNNu?" in Kannathil MuthamittAl.
I consider 16 vayathinilE a landmark and BR the biggest pathbreaker. His contribution to Tamil storytelling is historic. But Unlike either kannannn or Nerd I am not able to say for sure that I prefer BR to MR, simply because of the complete lack of consistency in BR's filmography. BR lost it long back. In fact, I'd consider the long speeches by VijayakumAr atypical of BR style. But considering he's made half a dozen dumb films after that I am no longer sure what is typical BR ? Do I just pick out his early good movies and forget he made Thamizhchelvan,Captain MagaL, eera nilam ?
If MR disappoints me, that's because, cliched as it sounds I expect much. Was disappointed with Aayitha Ezuthu but I'd still call it a pretty noble attempt. Naive, yes. Bad, definitely not. Haven't seen Guru yet. But I am sure I will. Very likely to watch Lajjo too. But am not interested in the new BR-Nana PatEkar film or BR's dream project Kutraparambarai. The guy is a perungAya dabbA.
Indeed Vikki. I love some of the dialogues in "IruvaR" very much. I still remember the dialogue that you have mentioned. When PrakaashRaj speaks about love towards language, policy etc LAL simply replies his inner desire. "Yellaaarum nalla irukanum.. saapidaaama yaarum kashtapadakoodaadhu". I simply love that sequence very much. :clap:Quote:

I wouldn't say that IRUVAR was a classic now. (after having watched teh movie more than 20 times). But it has lot of scenes that make you sit and watch it for 3 hours continously. The "Feel" that it provides is simply superb.
I love "Agni Natchathiram" as well. :clap: I have copies of both these movies. I have watched both of them many times. :)

whats the difference between love he showed in mouna ragam,agni natchathiram upto surya-love sequance in aayudha ezhuthu?
20 varushama ore maadhiri making paathu inga makalukku bore adichu pochu....its cute...OK....but in all movies???
avaru style-a paathu paathu bore adichu pochu....but for northies its new
infact tamil people and media has praised him a lot!
those hindi wallahs gave him only 60-70% opening....in chennai it got 100% opening...chumma thulla koodadhu
thinkfloyd, the "microscopic" analysis carried out here of Mani's faults is pretty irritating..........we all know that the sensilbilities should be a bit low when movies are made in hindi.......i agree with most of points on Iruvar which is a tamil film and which was a pretty lack lustre film.......thats wat i meant here......i dunno y u r jumping on me like this??? :? .....i never meant to cause any linguistic or regional fight here......Quote:

btw, i'm quitting, i cant do justice to my maniratnam support this way (working 14 hrs/day in the office :evil: ).....if any maniratnam fan cares to answer these "mountains of accusations" on him, they'll have my heartiest congratulations...... :x
Relax Maddy,
This is getting recursive :)
I'm not jumping on you. On the contrary, my point is that you should NOT think 'we' are jumping on you or Mani or ARR. You seem to think 'we' are against them and Hindi or whatever.
I never 'bashed' Mani, as you say. Just had some criticisms. That's it.
Peace
