:D Chinatown definitely recommended, plus he cameos as one of the henchmen and cuts Jack Nicholson's nose.
Personal life? Google the news, eppadi patta tillalanggadinu puriyum.
Nerd....my worst fear. Anway...appidiyE maindain paNNuvOm. thodarndhu muyalvOm. Anderson gaali. Next Robert Bresson :lol2:
Is the nose rip real ? Seems very much so. I was slightly taken aback when I saw that. They show the face as it happens and blood squirt etc.Quote:

Thilak..trust me I am disappointed about my disappointment.
I was just sending a PM to equa. better to post here.
I will ignore a this is "just one reading bit. This reading seems to make all the difference. So it can be argued to be central to the movie experience. I am now not sure what alternative ways are there to liking this film. There sure would be 'additional' vignettes. Not denying that. But the core - I now feel - has to draw a lot from the appreciation of the Biblical parallel drawn.Quote:

It did not. Now I can react to that two ways:
a) I could say "I didn't watch with the attention it deserved."
But who am I kidding... :P
From Seinfeld
George: Why ??
Girl: It's not you it's me
George: Don't you say that to me...I invented that line
b) The movie didn't engage me enough.
This is 'fine' because it allows the 'each to his own' and people can live happily ever after.
Just that b doesn't go down well with someone like me with ambitions of gluttony.
<I am in a self-obsessive flow. So don't mind...>
The continuous misfire of 'masters of the medium' has me this close to giving up trying to watch great films (பாக்காட்டி போ..இந்த இழப்பை இந்தியா தாங்கிக்காதா).
நிறைய try பண்ணியாச்சு. நிறைய மாதிரி try பண்ணியாச்சு.
(consciously subtracting the anxiety of wanting to enjoy what I am watching etc.).
சில சமயம் அரிசியை கடிச்சு துப்புறோமோ 'ங்க்ற சந்தேகம் இருக்கத்தான் செய்யுது. ஆனா அதுக்காக என்ன பண்றது. இதெல்லாம் அப்பிடியே வரவேண்டியதாச்சே.
மக்களைக் கேட்டா.. "Don't give up, keep searching, you will find someone who speaks to you" அப்பிடின்னு எம்.டி.வி. லௌ டாக்டர் மாதிரி சொல்றாங்க :lol2:
என்னவோ போங்க...
Enna PR ippadi sollipteenga :(

Thanks for the link PR!
Welcome. Result of bewildered googling last night.Quote:

Only in Kamal films that has been possible for me thus far.
எல்லாருக்கும் ஏதாவது வச்சிருப்பாப்ல. "Subtext பிடிபடலைனா straight அதலபாதாள ஏமாற்றம் தான்" அப்பிடிங்கிற பயம் இல்லாம படம் பார்க்கலாம். I guess I have been pampered.
I was reading back issues of a Tamil lit magazine which had an interview of director John Boorman. He said something to the effect that he was annoyed that "people were reluctant to place their ideas in a film. As if it was not a place for them to do so". Troublesome quote for me. ''உனக்கு என்ன தோணுதுன்னு

Ed Wood
Some faint sparks here and there but overall not quite bland.
Capitalism a love story : Moore is back at what he does the best.
The best feature is when Jesus says to a crippled "You have a pre- existing condition you have to pay (co-pay) out of your pocket". :rotfl: :notworthy:.

Trainspotting. Some of the scenes were really disturbing :(
Giant (1956).
When I checked it out in IMDB, I saw this:
Awards: Won Oscar. Another 4 wins & 12 nominations more
Users comments: One of the most underrated classics in film history more (113 total) :lol:
Shabbaaa....intha internet reviewers tolla taanggamudiyalaiyappa....
Having said that, it deserves those award, and is a pretty entertaining film. Performance irukku, message (racism) irukku, konjam heroism irukku, and you get beautiful Liz Taylor and Brando doppelganger James Dean dishing out moody redneck role. Speaking of which, it was this getup that Brando picked to play the famous Don.
Some parts are meandering, like this one (paraphrasing):
Liz: We're getting old
RH: Huh.
Liz: Us, I just realised we are getting old.
RH: Who.
Liz: We. We are getting old.
RH: Oh.
Liz: Before you realise it, you are old.
RH: Hm.
Liz: You look back and realise that you are old, you and I.
GM: Dey, dey, dey....poothumadaa.....

I couldn't follow it when I watched :oops: Then checked it in IMDB quotes. Very impressive :thumbsup:
Which one is better? Trainspotting or Requeim for a Dream? I'm yet to watch the second.
That dialogue is quite like the one from Fight club. The climax was one of the key reasons to rule this movie out. I liked little sequencesw with good amount of detail like the opning sequence/ dialogue, the Clockwork Orange reference, the surrealistic bits and all. Overall didn't find it exceptional.Quote:

WA acted in a movie called Scenes from a Mall. He didn't write/direct it. It is a 'comedy' about a long marriage threatened with infidelity issues.
PR,
You can see some patterns across most of WA's films. Conflicts, infidelities, certain inevitabilities etc... Given that Bergman is WA's "hero", i think this would have been an important movie for him.
And what do we see in general in almost all his films? Marriages going awry and infidelities are constant recurrences.
Not a good one. Woody playing pony tailed older yuppie....sariya varala...some moments here and there.Quote:

Not that I am complaining.
The Hattori Hanzo scenes. The change of mood, the acting, music (Lonely Shepherd-aam). Beautiful.
P_R,
"But the core - I now feel - has to draw a lot from the appreciation of the Biblical parallel drawn. "
-I will read the link, and make sense of it. But I didn't see that way at all. My take on the film a little later. (8m thEdhi salethula maanaadu. and all that :lol: )
I wanted to post about this... when Vicky anna had posted sometime back. appapO pOduRANunga...Quote:

One False Move. Criminally underrated. Spectacular film. Long time since I saw a film as good as this. So many little things to ponder upon.
Kamal recommended this film in one of his interviews :)

Still fun. Still full of surprises. I loved this one too much that I didn't want to see the remake.
Some great quotes.
Garage Manager: You must have shot an awful lot of tigers, sir.
Charlie: Yes, I used a machine gun.
Charlie: You wouldn't hit a man with no trousers on, would you?
Charlie: Remember from now on, we all work as a team...that means you listen to me. :lol:
The Hurt Locker :thumbsup:
I uploaded an interview with cinematographer Jack Cardiff (A matter of life and death).
One of my favorite films. Made in 1946, no less!
Disclaimer: I'm a monist & I don't believe in after-life.But I specifically enjoy arts and aesthetics, sometimes thoroughly spiritual, evangelical & religious ones too. However, this particular film is a mischievous parody. Perhaps why I could connect to it. Very clever, and way ahead of its time. Pressburger and Powell are much underrated.
Thanks for the link, Thilak.
Of course, that shouldn't stop you. Despite being a skeptic, I lauv flicks like Exorcist, the De Mille Biblical tales, his TFI counterpart, APN's NT starring puranam tales and...athu yeen, I even have soft spot for Baba :oops: But that's a different story :PQuote:
