flashbacks

[Aandavan]

flashbacks in virumandi and rashomon were picturised much differently, though the idea is inspired..

in rashomon,
each character narrates the incident in a different way . also the visuals are entirely different from each other..

but in virumandi,

both the characters narrates the incident in a different way... but, the visuals are exactly the same , except the camera angles..

[Aandavan]

Flashbacks were best handled in Aitha Ezuthu!

I know it was copied, but still, the best in tamil!

the screenplay style of Aayitha eluthu is definitely copied from Amores Perros.. even, some scenes like the first scene is copied.. the camera angles were also copied in many scenes.. the BGM for in some maddy scenes, was copied/inspired from the BGMs in that old thaatha scene from AP..


the last scene of AP is similar to the last scene of Anbe sivam..

exactly...in virumaandi the same story is told in a twisted way rather than lying...

its different

I also like Virumaandi's use of flashbacks...only because are complex enough to be fully rounded yet still have so much that is missing....pasupathi's story seems just as likely...it's not biased as you would think a villian's viewpoint would be....it also has the support of how memory usually works so that if pasupathi forgets, skips over parts you might get an unsettling feeling (as i did) but you would not be able to put your finger on it until of course Kamal's version (*this still doesn't answer your doubt SS*)

Though Ghajini had the "typical" kind of the all encompassing flashback in which all that is said in or out of his presence including songs are all included...and of course kind of clumsy with the whole diary gimmick....maybe i'm more critical because the way that "memento" which I remember Ghajini was compared to was much more glaringly true towards the utilization of the flashback. I also remember flashbacks in my kiddy days being in those....i don't what you would call them like in "film negative" sequence...especially if it's a hero/heroine remembering the violence wrought on their family...

no... in virumandi . it is clear that kamal's version is the truth.. but in rashomon.. we cant decide that..
