The Last Lear

‘The Last Lear‘ … I loved it. It makes fascinating and uncompromising journey in one’s thoughts.  

The Last Lear is only about Harry (AB), how he is persuaded to act in a film and his concealed regrets. He always wanted to enact King Lear but due to some ambiguous reasons, could not.

Amitabh Bachchan played the role of Harry. Moody like the English weather, he expects everyone to be well-versed with A Midsummer Night’s Dream and recognise it’s the Tempest that he lovingly quotes. 

The role of Ivy, a nurse, played by Divya Dutta outperformed by her accent used in the movie. Shefali Shah (urf Vandana in movie) played a very sponstaneous character. and yeah not to mention the lead actress Preity (urf Shabnam) in not her so-called-bubbly role, amazingly perfomed the role. But above all, Harry had been the powerful old guy. 

The movie is an indulgent celebration of a larger-than-life personality, a classic consumed, for better or worse, by his art. In this case, Shakespeare. 

Though, I am not a big fan of Shakespeare, but this movie has made me.

I Am Legend

From the Day 1, since i watched the trailer, i was like ‘i have to see this movie….’ so finally watched Will Smith’s I AM LEGEND this Friday. It is a thriller but it chills very soon.. there are many disturbing sequences, be it post-apocalyptic New york city landscape, Sam (the dog) chasing a dear in dark for no reason, entry of Anna with his brother, their desire to go to Vermont, a survivor colony.

Though Will Smith, a lone man, a scientist, was super sexy as usual, his performance was fantabulous.

I would say, ‘I Am Legend’ was a person’s science-fiction tale with mind and a heart, a person who was a thinker, scientist and only Human Being.

Hummmm, its just a movie…with disappointing end… I hope there will be another one with some alternate ending :) will there be ?

Shaher ki es daud me daud ke karna kya hai? Jab yehi jeena hai dosto to phir marna kya hai? Paheli barish me train late hone ki fikr hai Bhul gaye bhigte hue tahelna kya hai?

Serials ke kirdaaro ka saara haal hai malum par maa ka haal puchhne ki fursat kise hai? Ab ret pe nage pao tahelte kyu nahi? 108 hai chanel phir dil bahelte kyu nahi?

Internet ki duniya ke to touch me hai, lekin pados me kon raheta hai jaante tak nahi। Mobile, Landline sab ki bharmaar hai, Lekin jigri dost tak pahuche aise taar kaha hai?

Kab dubte hue suraj ko dekha tha yaad hai? Kab jaana tha shaam ka woh banana kya hai? To Dosto Shaher ki es daud me daud ke karna kya hai Jab yahi jeena hai to phir Marna kya hai?

~ Excerpts from Munna Bhai MBBS movie

I really liked these lines, I guess we have been so busy focussing on ourselves and sometimes forget that there are other things in life which are equally important…

isn’t it ? wat do you say about it?

Blood Diamond

Watched Blood diamond movie from Edward Zwick, an action thriller but it cant hide the facts that Zwick wants to teach audiences another history lesson and lecture them on political correctness.

Apparently, in one of the dialogues Zwick becomes philosphical and highlights on people and their actions.

“They are just people. Its their deed which make them Good or Bad.”

“I sometimes think, ‘Will GOD ever forgive us for what we have done to each other?’, but then i realize that GOD has left this place long time back.

I totally agree with the statement. How about you? Any views, just shoot….
