THE FILM FESTIVAL



Art cinema is quite something very puissant in the way of communicating with the audiences.
Extraordinarily unbent no coincidences,no miracles just pragmatic.

Oflate I had the privilege of savouring some of it in the very altruistic theatre fest Bahuroopi.
Movies I managed to watch were Roots by Marvin J.Chomsky and John Erman,Amistad by Steven spielberg...
both of them based on slavery.One showing the unsuccessful pursuance of freedom by a slave and the latter showing the victory of humanity over politics.

The movie Amistad was scheduled to be screened back to back with this other movie called Cry Of Freedom.
And being dead timely we arrive 15 mins late for the movie and enter the room flashing the cell phone torch(which was am sure quite annoying to the others) to find our way and this usher rudely interrupts us asking us to put off the light...we do so...and realise there is no seat available..so we go and ask him if we can sit on the ground...he says-"movie is about to end but you can still sit"!!
Obviously enough it was the previous movie still running...so we get out and wait for it end.
After about 10 mins we go in again expecting Amistad to have started and since we didnt have a bat's vision we flash light again...but this time annoying this old man enough that he mutters to the man beside him-"AYYO!!EVERY 10 MINS THESE GALS ARE COMING AND FLASHING LIGHT"...
Nevertheless it was all worth as the movie was outstanding.Another over-the-top movie we caught up with was a spanish movie called sea inside,theme being mercy killing.
All in all an unforgettable festival.

A TALE OF TWO BRAINS

This is a tremendously hilarious analysis of the functioning of the male and the female brain and is perhaps damn on-key!!...

THE BUCKET LIST





Iam not really an ardent movie viewer...I prefer reading over watching stuff since laterly a movie is just a transmutation of pages into visuals(ofcourse not that I dont watch em at all!).But on the suggestion of a friend I watched The Bucket List.It features the lambent Morgan freeman and the endearing Jack Nicholson substantiating a bucket list.

I was excogitating if all of us had a ken of our respective deadlines, life would have been so much more different.We would just have to make that special effort and go the extra mile to realize the most perfervid desire and thats it...you would never get caught up in a vicious circle!...so that way you could not just die quenched but also live mirthfully!

The bucket list shown in the movie goes something like this....I guess...
1.Witness something truly majestic
2.Help a complete stranger for a common good
3.Laugh till I cry
4.Get a tattoo ....et cetera
If bestowed with a chance to create a bucket list ...ofcourse one would include all his torrid desires ...if you were also to include something extreme you had to realise for/on someone else.....what would it be?
