I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. - Frank Costello (in The Departed) Right from the opening lines, the movie is just "Mindblowing.........." - so much that by the end even the characters get their heads blown off
Indian adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello" And Vishal Bharadwaj does full justice to this classic tragedy. Superb direction, mind blowing performances.
Mesmerizing............ Am already in love with this movie.
It shows just how complicated life can get at times. Wong Kar Wai is a gem in film making.... If possible, one must watch 'In the mood for love' and '2046' in continuation.
There are times when we find ourselves in psychologically and emotional crisis. Suddenly everything seems so meaningless and hopeless, that we reach a crossroad, where the only question is, what choice one makes. Life or Death...... If we choose death, we go towards something unseen and uncertain. Though, we don't know what lies on the other side, we are tempted to take a step towards the unknown just to escape our known pains. But if we choose life, we have to stay here with what we are going through and face the hours......
One of those rare movies which doesn't leave the viewer's mind long after one has watched it.
Observes the transformations in human emotions and the the dillema in a man's mind so minutely that you can't help but give a standing ovation at the end of it.
Fight and you'll never survive..... Run and you'll never escape
What strikes you at first sight about City of God is it?s camera work and cinematography. A gangster film and a colorful film cannot be the same film. However City of God begs to differ.
The movie is adapted from a book of the same name by Paulo Lins, who grew up in City of God and did somehow escape it's violent strokes.
That's what the movie tells you once you have seen it.
Innocent mistakes committed by a person can ruin lives around him / her in a million ways. Atonement is not as easy as one might think. The injuries caused on minds and souls can be irreversible.
There is only one word to describe Atonement, "Haunting" because it haunts the viewer with it's cinematography, characters and mosty of all it's climax. A movie to be watched over and over again.
