Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[NOV]

I can relate with you Karthik... best part is I watched Naan at 6pm and Mugamoodi at 9pm, on the same day

[kameshratnam]

Watched Lorry Driver Rajakannu :

Nadigar thilagam who has spoken so much of powerful and meaningful dialogies

He sees sripriya and says Vada nalla irukkuma.... bring 2 idilis and one vada

He also asks her if she does not want to become a mother and b**** feed her baby

Once i really banged my head on my pillow

Naan
- No side dish.
- 45 minutes of stuffing, before and after intermission
- crime with punishment.. then crime without punishment. With a correction facility in between. Lot of possibilities in exploring more, but ultimately it's the kind of 'guilt trip' without feeling the guilt. Making up one's own mind to lead on living. If so, why the sequence where he says he'd use up death of bhai's son to look after paralysed bhai? And what kind of parlour trick is that? Apparently now this boy travels faster than fax machine..
- I wonder how Honest could laugh at Naazar's NWSE but could take in this poor excuse of 'investigation'. AS Janagaraj could have craked this case.
- In age of facebook, twitter, instant TV, and newspaper, athuvum upper class 'family friends'. If the film didn't bother so much about plausibility, I would be able to see past it.
- Direction, much like lead protagonist, is a blank impersonal slate but functional. You have to fill in.
- Towel uruvi, khitan check.. Most clever writing of all. Also oddly, laugh worthy.

Good news for those missed it: Naan has been re-released in some cinemas in Malaysia... those who missed it, now is your chance.

It should be a BO success for its budget. It's very much in ballpark of plausibles who are easily taken in to illusion of plausibility.. Also, it has no meaningful ideology for audience to be repulsed by..
