Busy this morning (11th sept), helping manju for the ganesha pooja...went to beach in the evening to leave the ganesha...otherwise lazied around in the afternoon...was watching few movies...one is "kalavani" and the other one is "Goa"...finished the day watching "aviator"...after three movies in a day, i would like to say "tamil movie has a loooooooooooooooooooong way to go"....
"Inception" next on the list...will write about it after watching it...
I happened to watch "Rashoman", the chinese version, in singapore (do not ask me, when it was dubbed in chinese)...it is merely chinese subtitles...a chinese collegue helped to translate for me...i was dumbstruck after the movie...looking for the english subtitled one...let me know, if you can find...why i started talking about rashoman is, i read the "auto-biography" of Akira Kurosawa. he has written that "ஒரு ஜப்பானிய மீனுக்கு ஜப்பானிய ஆற்றிலேயே நீந்துவதே இயல்பாகவும் பொருத்தமாகவும் இருக்கும்".
Tamil movie makers do not seem to understand that...the only director who has been impressing me lately is "vasantha balan"...Ankkadi theru and Veyil stands out from the crowd.
Hi Magesh, Initially reading this post I pissed off that ur saying tamil movies has a long way to go... finally I am compromised that u talked about vasantha balan and Angadi theru (I am not saying just because he is my dearest friend... he proved that in Angadi theru!!!).
ReplyDeleteIndian and Tamil movies are making lot of new attempts which should be encouraged and watched in theater.
BTW, how is life in Singi?
