Inside out part 1 and 2

If you really want to introduce emotional intelligence right from 7+ years of age, it is the movie for you, going in sequence part 1 and part 2 will be very much beneficial, but you go in any order of course. It is good to show the children emotional breakdown and upgrade that everyone is going through. "Inside out 2" is a movie which I happen to watch by accident. I watched it for my son so that he could enjoy an animated movie. I almost slept over and over again watching the movie, I could not watch the movie even in theatre. I tried to watch "Inside out 1" at my home. It was also tiresome, it took me multiple session to complete the movie. It was literally enjoyable for kids. Then you may ask why a review on such a tiresome movie. The movie is actually tiresome because I felt again and again I am wasting my time, but in reality it was not the case, it was crucial that I have to watch "Inside out part 1" movie to understand the intend. The movie starts w...

12th Fail

This movie taught me how to take care of ourself, how to rest expectations and how beautiful is straight forwardness, how needy all these for the people to remain motivated and focused. It is a nice movie to drive UPSC aspirants, especially motivational for the people who come from very poor economic status. Truth and Straight forwardness has beauty in itself. It keeps people motivated to stay focused and to be in the state of flow. Through out the movie, this has been put upfront on the face of the audience. Being self reliant and self sufficient will make people to invest time, energy and money on top of you. Self reliance is the due self respect that we give to ourself. And I like to keep saying respect is nothing but resting expectations and growth is nothing but taking care of ourself and helping others. In this movie, the hero from Chambal is motivated to cheat in exams during in 12th grade by his own school teachers, principal and village head but he gets motivated from a straig...

Divergent Series - Appreciate the out of faction

Divergent Series has 3 parts 1. Divergent 2. Insurgent 3. Allegent I started watching the first movie and continued to watch others after getting inspiration from the first movie. Mostly of the Hollywood success movies take very simple topics and takes us to unimaginable possibilities, so was divergent. The movies starts with separation of kids into factions - dauntless, Erudite, Candour, Amity and Abnegation similar to houses in a school or college. But they stand for the meaning of the titles they choose or else they have to become faction-less. This films portrays that such factions are higher than the family which seems weird and does not allows one to be part of values of all factions. Divergent are people who can portray all values of all factions, they are seen as a threat in this movie.  In the first part we could see how the protagonist, the lady character with the help of his coach passes all tests of dauntless and identifies that erudite are manipulating dauntless with c...

Films and their makings - my thoughts

I had been watching a lot of movies over the weekend, Divergent, Love Guru (Romeo), Shero (Lion) and more. The Divergent movie made me think how different the movies produced differs according to the part of the world they are being produced and directed. While western world makes simple topic complex and easter worlds make complex topic simple, this statement could be blunt, at least watching the famous movies makes me to think so. There are lot of movies made in Hollywood, which are very relevant to Americans but not to Indians. Watching different types of movies from different parts of the world may help us to understand the nature of the people over there and their circumstances. The need of a film or a movie The most needed film to watch for a person is a film which can light up or enlighten people to move higher in the pyramids of needs. It also seems so that the films made are based on the societal needs, community needs, regional needs and sometimes to throw back the history on...

Vadagupattu Ramasamy - Believe in beyond to unite the people

If people are so naive to believe in the beyond with incidents and idol worship, why don't we cultivate their belief? Vadagupattu Ramasamy genre takes this theme with a non believer and takes it forward to make people believe an earthen pot as their god. while the god served its purpose, a scheme constructed by administrative office to take advantage of the belief to next level to exploit people belief was put to challenge by Ramasamy. Belief to use or abuse is up to us. It is beyond the belief of common people, we end up to believe the beyond.

Nadu - The need of a doctor makes a village to shower unfathomable love

A distant remote village in the hills don't gets any appointed doctor to serve them, it leads to loss of lives in that village. Despite people had put lot of effort and had built a hospital, they loose one of their precious member of their herd. she commits suicide as she cannot gain a medical seat in the college to pursue doctor degree. It puts the village people in undue agony and they seeks the collector help to appoint a doctor. With the help of collector, they do get a doctor, a lady doctor, I mention it as a men could not have justified such a good role the doctor played. This film has no romance, has no commercial elements. It depicts and woos not just doctors but all technicians towards their own village by putting a great narrative of how much love the needy could put forward. It is a complete drama and a great entertainment, there is no logic behind the scenes, I don't think village people are this naive these days. Yet the screenplay, dialogue delivery, expression br...

Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya hey - The female protagonist

Last week, I did enjoyed a phenomenal Malayalam film narrative in tamil, jaya jaya jaya jaya hey. I did not watch this film, but just enjoyed the narrative and found it to be one of the best film to tell the society and women in the society that women can handle the family tension in a manly attire and set right expectations. The protagonist of most of the films in the previous generations had been men. This generation is seeing a great raise of women and a mental shift in providing a better space for women to stand on their own. The protagonist has been put down through out her life right from childhood. Her opinions and decisions has not been heard & accepted until she raises against her husband, who inflicts her undue pain via his violent behaviour for simple, unsupportable reasons. she learns karate in bathroom and whenever she finds time and thrashes her husband for every wrong move. Even when she is deceptively cheated, she throws back herself and proves that she can succeed ...
