About Kamal Hassan’s 50th Anniversary in movies

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I don’t have much to say about the whole program, might add something later but wanted to say what I thought about his movie “Dashavataram”. Though everyone spoke well about that movie, saying he did such a good job in all the ten roles , acted like an American, old lady, etc., I must say that was his worst movie in all the ones I have seen. Just because you want to speak well about someone doesn’t mean you go ahead and praise something that wasn’t done well. He might have gone to lengths to get the movie done, but as a viewer what is seen is what matters and I am sure Kamal Hassan must himself know that all those different roles except for the telugu guy and the first one, were no good. It just is a joke, how could he think that people would buy in to that? Must be some crazy fans of his that like that movie. The first few scenes until he drowns are very good and then the movie drowns too in my opinion. Those who think that the movie was good can come back and argue with me in their spare time, even though its been a while since that movie released. In his whole 50 years in the movie industry I am sure that is the one movie that will stand out as a very silly one. His american accent was a joke, his playing Bush was a joke.

In general, the movie can be rated silly, bad and not put together well at all, the plot didn’t seem too solid as well.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Forgot to write a blog about what I thought, after I had seen the movie. I liked the general idea of the movie, even though it is so unrealistic. Makes you think in other ways about life. The scene where Benjamin dies is touching and the one where the clock maker makes a clock that goes backward in time was good. It is a a sad scene too, that perhaps only those who have someone dear can understand better, even though those more fortunate feel they do too. I wondered how they showed Brad Pitt, in the scenes where he is old and gradually gets younger. Wonder what kinds of special effects were used.

In short I can say it was g ood movie, the plot keeps you engrossed in the movie, throughout.
