Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[kid-glove]

Thanks guys, but these are all broad similarities, right?

That pregnancy detail actually didn't matter at all, on any level. But it does seem like the extra bit of detail was merely added to help create some kind of investment in that character being in charge of investigation. But again, it doesn't rise beyond the cosmetic touch because Uma isn't involved directly here and she's not going to be under danger. There's also the dialogue where Vijay Anthony warns Selvam how she's quite good at picking up the scent and to be wary of her..

I get the comparison with things FUBAR, but this is all generic to films of this genre. The lack of trust, incompetence and in-fights.

Again, it's about "how" it breaks out and how things go balls up. With the writer/filmmaker necessarily wanting to explore the thematic and dramatic possibilities.

Take up that dinner sequence in Fargo, that's a hugely important sequence. Here, the closest to that pivotal moment is with Selvam's trepidation that arouses her to suspect and she immediately follows up with coffee shop despite having chartered it to Selvam. But again, here lies the difference in doing it more plot based, while Fargo is more intimately tied to its gender politics. There were much more of parallels with different characters, all with thematic weight, right? Here, I believe it's the bleakness of the truth from truly ever breaking out, or being made in to a readily accessible entity, as if this is ever possible.. Nihilistic muteness of 'truth', therefore the protagonist truly deserving of being the 'hero', made it work. Now, if we were to dig out gender-based Coenesque study, we have to stretch to contrast the male characters here, & link the call girl and the pregnant cop, especially when these characters are less defined & their situations not particularly underlined in the visual/narrative level. Unlike Fargo, with both Mcdormand and William Macy's relationships etched, here we don't even know Uma's familial background. Also, we only have Vijay Anthony's manchild here. Male characters in Fargo(or BAR) are all spectral variations of the male, with inherent weakness of the gender. There's no such study in MG.
