Someday I shall see the film. Sigh! But the songs are wonderful. Especially that one that goes, Kyon?
]]>As Ritu says above…left me all mushy (same to same)
]]>Nice way of exploring a subject. I would knock off may be another 15-20 mins from the movie.
The director forcefully wanted to remind us about Charlie Chaplin and has even flashed a cut out of Chaplin to dumb it down and show the connection of the Barfi guys’s actions.
The special effects when he is banging his head and nose gets twisted, that scene could have been better.
Overall, this was a nice movie.
]]>But somewhere down the line i could recognize that the director was trying to tell a story which was his own creation and some scene surely were taken from some films. But were those scenes SOUL of the movie. My answer is NO .
Story and treatment still remains directors own. Take eg of Seven Samurai of Akira Kurosawa. the plot of a man bringing together a gang was used by so many film after that. Magnificent Seven which is considered a classic was also Seven Samurai in Western. Sholay too was Seven Samurai.. other film inspired from Seven Samurai is The Guns of Navarone, Ocean’s Eleven, The Dirty Dozen. An art work be it painting, writing, films are always inspired by something.
They guy who really gets something new is a Genius and next to God. And there are Geniuses, but only handful remaining all else are followers inspired by something or other.
in Cinema of India, Their has been Sparks of brilliance, but unfortunately we have not been able to see that great genius.
