 Ashwin: Do you believe in God?

 Ratna: Karna padta hai Sir.



I heard a lot about this movie, a lot of positive reviews but I have to admit that, the movie wasn't as great as people say. Highly real and uncomfortable without hitting it hard, that's the triumph of this film. It makes you realize that do you have to just be good and non-discriminatory or do you have to do a lot more to blur the class divides in our society.



The movie starts where Ashwin leaves someone at the altar as he is not the clingy boyfriend romantic kinds so it is an irony to see him fall for a girl who is whole lot different and he certainly doesn't seem the right guy for her either. The movie seems biased towards showing the points on how this could be a normal relationship in spite of the class divide, however, what happens once the leads have gone through the sugary love phase?
Sir (Lead Actor) reduces the glossy taint of a typical Bollywood film but may have fallen short of going the whole way and exploring all possibilities and nuances that Ashwin and Ratna's story demanded.


Now I would've considered it to be a great movie if both the characters were married or living together or being accepted by the society. But nothing of such sort happened. As a matter of fact, we didn't get to know what happened to their relationship. Slow paced movie with absolutley zero storyline.
My Rating- 5/10

The Pianist (2002)

Image
  Starring - Adrien Brody, Emilia Fox, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finaly, Ed Stoppard. Directed by - Roman Polanski. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Władysław Szpilman-  “The life of a human being, let alone his personal freedom, is a matter of no importance. But the love of freedom is native to every human being and every nation, and cannot be suppressed in the long term. History teaches us that tyranny has never endured. And now we have blood-guilt on our conscience for the dreadful injustice of murdering the Jewish inhabitants.” Everything that happens in this film is so sad. Especially if you are a history buff. Please, I think this film should be in the top 10 best films of all time. World War II is one of the most frightening wars in history, if you read more about The Holocaust, you get more into it and you should. If you are not interested, then watch this film. It's a must see, otherwise how els...

The Irishman (2019)

Image
Starring- Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano and Al Pacino.  Directed By- Martin Scorsese ----------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Hoffa - "I heard you paint houses" Frank Sheeran:  Yes. Yes, sir, I do. I do. And I, uh, I also do my own carpentry. If you are a fan of watching crime, gangster movies which are based on a true story then The Irishman is the best thing to binge. And in order to fully appreciate the movie, you gotta watch it more than once. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro yet again collaborate to present a masterpiece.  The best thing about The Irishman is that it keeps you on the edge despite being a 210 minutes long movie. The CGI in the movie is absolutely perfect. Over the period of 50 years being shown in the movie, you can easily recognise the change in the characters facial expressions (De Niro and Joe Pesci).  The story revolves around Frank Sheeran (De Niro) who started as a truck driver, then gets recruited by Russell Ba...

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

 Starring- Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Aiden Brody, Edward Norton, Sairose Rogan, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, F. Murray Abraham, and Owen Wilson. Directed By- Wes Anderson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M. Gustave- " She Needs Me, And I Need You, To Help Me With My Bags And So On." Welcome to the Grand Budapest Hotel. We recount the story of a lobby boy and the main concierge of the titular hotel who gets in way over their heads. This is personally my favourite Wes Anderson movie out of all his inspiring creations. I love how the movie is divided into chapters and how each has a straightforward storyline driving it forward. There is humour, romance, absurdness and generally breathtaking, meticulously-constructed scenes as usual. From the start of the film it is clear that you are watching a Wes Anderson film. The colour palette and set design are obvious visual clues for t...
