MOVIES

MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES!!!i have blogged too much about it. From reviews to movie trends and what not!! But still im finding it difficult to digress from this topic. There were times when i was very busy with school, studies(yeah i was a sincere student during my 12th!!) that i was completely out of touch with movies. Also i used to be choosy in watching movies. I was not comfortable in watching any crap that comes up. But everything changed after i entered college. I started watching a lot of (read as loads of) movies irrespective of language. There used to be a race like who watched maximum number of movies. And now this year in theatres alone i have watched 15 movies apart from those i watched in CDs. God when i went for vacation i watched a lot of movies on CDs which probably forced me to write more and more about movies. People always complain that movies are crap but still watch and i fall into that category. The whole perspective of films has undergone a sea of change definitely not a radical change maybe in terms of technical aspects yes. But still cant really name one movie and say this is a magnum opus. Are shankar/Mani Ratnam movies always best??

Once i read an article on Mani Ratnam where they discussed about why he hasn't recieved a national award for best director yet. Some said it is because it is the top most honroray award in India and his prowess cannot be confined or defined by any awards. And some commented saying that most of his movies are remakes like thiruda thiruda(butch cassidy and the sundance kid), thalapathi (mahabharatha), nayakan(godfather) and list goes. It isn't a copy or a remake just an adaptaion or inspiration of some concept. Well if remakes are welcomed nowadays why inspired concepts infused in some contemporary subjects are worstly crticized?
