Sorry, puriyalai. The most shocking scene in the film is slit-of-the-throat, no?!Quote:

Through out the film, we keep guessing that every scene could potentially be a video being played that we wait for the 'reverse' button to be pressed. So I tried to pull a joke that conceptually my memory works in sync with the film. Lame attempt at nagaichchuvai.Quote:

May be I am biting too much, but the general Haneke employs this device suggests more implications. Like there are totally two scenes at Majid - the first one gets recorded and delivered, (because?) the lead doesn't disclose to his wife what actually happened. The second scene is the shocking scene and the lead doesn't lie this time and there is no video. prabalamAna, Haneke dhAn video anuppRaar notion holds good. ;)
Hey thanks bro, nice thoughts there :-)

Malena - hmmmm :roll:
Never let me go. - Dir: Mark Romanek. Based on the Lazuo Ishiguro novel.
Set in a dystopian reality where people are 'cultivated' in a formalized manner for their organs, the film is remarkably poignant look at mortality and relationships. Don't let the initial part of the previous sentence fool you in any way, there is no gore in this film - it all looms behind ominous surgical rooms and strategically placed scars. While the obvious subtexts are its concerns with death and human pettiness, one of the more important things that film dealt with is segregation. It talks about the ease with which we can see someone with the exact same life-force as less than human and how when faced with this the mind is unable to reconcile with this notion.
A heavy film, so dont watch if you're looking for a pick-me-up.
