I watched ప్రస్థానం - telugu movie for the second time yesterday. A great drama with right amalgamation of human characteristics (ego, hunger, desire, pride, greed, craving, aversion), politics and human relations with the philosophical touch. The dialogues were anew. The ones which caught my attention are:
1) నీ ఆవేశానికి అర్ధం లేదు. స్వార్థమే మనిషి అసలు లక్షణం. నిస్వార్థం దాన్ని కాచే కవచం మాత్రమె. -> When I heard it for the first time, I rewinded and played it again. I paused and contemplated for a quick second and the wisdom dawned upon me. Yes, even when I think that let the whole universe be peaceful, there is a selfish goal in my wish. Even when I seek detachment or enlightenment, there is a selfish tint to it. Wow. This never occurred to me specifically. Good one.
2) ఈ భూమి మీద ప్రతి ప్రాణి పుట్టిన దెగ్గర నుంచి చచ్చే వరకు మండుతూనే ఉంటుంది. ఆశ తో, ఆకలి తో, అహం తో, కోరిక తో ప్రతి క్షణం మండుతూ ఉంటారు. కొందరు ఈ మంటలో పడి తనను తాను కాల్చు కుంటారు. మరి కొందరు ఆ మంటలో జ్ఞానాన్ని వెతుకుంటూ మిగిలిన వారికి మార్గదర్శకులు అవుతారు. -> I think I didnt get the literal dialogue here but the content is same. This swept me off my feet. I read in Buddhist literature(not sure if Gauthama said it by himself) that the entire universe is burning. Every moment, every thing is burning in the entire universe. Knowing this one should practice to come out of his delusions. I did not understand it. I thought that as every moment every thing is changing in the universe, maybe they meant it as burning because in burning there is constant flux. The object changes it's state continuously. After listening to this dialogue, the concept is crystal clear to me. What a simple explanation of an obscure, deep truth.
3) అవసరాల కోసం దారులు తొక్కే వాళ్ళు తప్ప హీరోలు, విలన్లు లేరు ఈ నాటకం లొ. -> This makes perfect sense. Some mythologies, poetries and dramas might depict someone as a complete positive character (hero) and someone else as a complete negative character (villain) but to me in reality there is nothing as a complete positive or negative. To that matter, there is nothing good or bad. It is all self-perspective. For e.g. if killing is bad, then if it is undertaken as revenge or to save the entire universe also, it is bad and you cannot defend it as good. This is the base point for the movie.
4) మనిషి లొ కూరుకు పోయి ఉన్న సత్యం - అహం. ప్రతి ప్రాణిని కదిలించేది - ఆకలి. [I forgot but some cause for] - ఆశ. I think these are the most core, basic, innate and fundamental characteristics of every life. Every being works to satiate its hunger. The thing that gives hope and craving for living more and more is desire and then comes the deepest truth with which everything else in the universe is linked - EGO. It is the wonderful narration of the director of these core concepts in such a cinematic way, which does not bore the audience and at the same time exemplify the happenings in the mundane life.
The above ones took me by surprise. There are other good dialogues too.
- గెలిచే వాడికి ఓడె వాడికి గురి గింజంత లౌక్యమే తేడా.
- సృష్టి మొదలయిందే అన్నదమ్ముల యుద్ధం తో.
Overall a great drama in telugu in a long time. Kudos to the everyone associated with this project.

Arya 2 and others...
I watched Arya 2 a while back. I really liked the movie. I have been thinking to write about it. Though, I did not like Arya (prequel) because of the performance of the actors, I was impressed by the concept of the story and that too in Telugu. I say that because in the contemporary situation that kind of a movie will not get you money in telugu industry but the movie proved me wrong. The director has projected the concept in such a way so that it would please the majority of the telugu audiences too, which is what I liked.
When I watched the second movie of Sukumar (the director I am talking about) i.e. Jagadam, I maintained the same respect for him because the concept is tough to make money in telugu industry. As expected it was a dud but he made a very good effort.
Then comes Arya 2, which blew my mind away. This time the story is way more away from gaining acceptance from majority of the telugu audience but he maintained his path and did it. I think the movie did well in financial terms too. It was stylish, very well executed and blend to make it viewable by telugu audience. I wouldn't dare to even think of filming such a concept if I were filming for telugu audience. The story starts of by showing the lead actor in a negative shade and he defines it well for doing so. I wasn't bored at any point. The movie is very finely weaved with the comic, surprise and the elements that would make it acceptable by telugu audience. I would say it's one of the greatest and brave screen-plays in telugu film industry. Sukumar's honesty, courage are greatly commendable prior to his movie making skills. Kudos Sukumar, you have done a great job.
I appreciate the actors for accepting such a movie too, mainly Arjun because he being a son of the film producer and the current trend is that none of the proteges are even thinking of doing something fresh and new. He did a character with negative shades and that which will be disliked by majority of the telugu public. There you go Arjun - great job and great choice.
Overall a great truthful and honest movie and a different one.
From the others I have seen in recent times, I liked 3 idiots, blind side, People vs Larry Flynt.

I dont remember the exact dates, when I watched the following movies. Randomly over all the previous days. Most of the days have been spent reading discourses of OSHO so movies took a side track.
Before Sunset: I liked this movie a lot. The whole movie is set up in France where the actor and actress walk on the roads just talking about their previous meeting, future plans, present work. It has a philosophical touch to the conversation. Its a very short and sweet movie. I could connect to the movie very well. A nice and different concept too.
Before Sunrise: It is a prequel to "Before Sunset". I happened to watch this after "Before Sunset". I liked it. It also deals with same two people roaming in Vienna talking about their previous, present and future experiences. It also deals much with philosophical thoughts. Its nice.
Jab we met (Hindi/Indian): The first half of this movie is very funny. Its nice comedy. The second half moves to be a bit slow. Overall its good, can watch it once. The performances of the actors are good.
Fracture: The movie was interesting and thrilling for the first half or a bit more but the climax was not good. It was not so appealing. The initial set up and the carrying of the movie was good.
Gangster (Hindi/Indian): The taking of the movie was good. It had suspense element. I thought it was not a very new concept, usual mafia, gangs related. I felt its OK movie.

I slowed down the number of movies I usually watch over the weekends. May be wanted a break. Here are the list of movies, I watched over the past weekend and the one before that.
Wedding crashers (English): It was a good movie. The story was about two guys, who crash weddings so that they can get laid with the women. It was funny. The climax was very good. The guy mentions that he crashed a death too and it all jelled well. I liked it.
Dollar dreams (Telugu/Indian): An excellent movie. I didnt watch it all these days thinking it might be like a documentary but its not. The movie has the needed proportions of comedy, drama, etc everything. I liked it a lot. I could relate to every scene of the movie. I watched it twice. There was a bit of unrealistic element in the form of one character but that was ok with me. Overall its a very good movie. I watched the scenes, I liked, more than twice.
this past weekend, I can say, I dedicated it to Nagesh Kukunoor - Indian film writer, producer and director. I havent watched any of his films till last week because I was assuming they are all art films and I cant bear them but to my utter surprise, I was wrong. The movies were all good, I should say the later were brilliant and I could connect with all of them. I started to admire this guy and his work.
Iqbal (Hindi/Indian): Awesome movie. Its about a deaf and dumb guy aspiring to be a national level cricket player. I didnt feel bored or disconnected atleast a single moment, which I earlier thought I would. The catalyst is the boy having an interest in learning the game. The big event takes place when he is accepted by a cricket coaching academy. The mid point is when the boy is thrown out of academy. The crisis is when the boy doesnt get selected for national level but gets a chance to play for Ranji trophy. The climax is when the boy has to decide if he has to do his best at Ranji or accept the check given by the antagonist and quit the game. The resolution is the boy plays well, gets money from the sponsoring company and thats it. It ends well. The boy realizes his dream. A wonderful movie with a good background score. All the actors did a wonderful job.
Dor (Hindi/Indian): Brilliant movie. Same pre-notion of mine went with this one too but I proved to be wrong again. Its a very authentic, novel story executed in a superb way. Its very simple story. Its all about one woman, going in search of other to save her husband. Nothing artificial, complex, hi-fi, blowing some buildings or mafia or ...etc. Its just subtle human emotions. The characterization of both the women have been done perfectly. Both of them have equal screen space. The comic aspect is provided in the form of the guy who comes to help the protagonist. I was moved. Its a brave attempt at a different concept and it was done greatly.
Hyderabad Blues (Telugu/Indian): Its a time pass flick. Its more of a comedy type film. Its about a guy who comes from USA after 12 years and who cannot accept all the previous aspects of the culture. He finds his own way of taking the good from both the cultures. Its funny.
thats it for now...

I didnt update the blog last week (was lazy) but I watched many movies last weekend (oct 6,7). I dont even remember all the titles. Here is the list of the ones for this weekend.
Memento(English): Watching it for 2nd time. A good movie. Brilliant screenplay. Nice sub-plot. It depicts a novel way of capturing an ordinary story.
3:10 to Yuma (English): OK. The climax scene was moving. Other than that the remaining part was ok. I felt it was not a great movie because the weakness in story. The story is all about moving a thief from one village to the nearby train station. The protagonist agrees to do it for some amount.
Death Proof (English): The photography was different. Though it is made in latest times, it looks as if its a period movie. Some of the dialogues are interesting as in all Tarantino's movies. The camera work for the accident was excellent. Its a kinda simple movie about a psycho killer. Its a time pass movie for me.
Chirutha (Telugu/Indian): Routine, cliche movie. The director's(Puri) affect is seen only in later half that too in some scenes. It lacks a story. Couldnt bear the action of the heroine. She overacted almost all scenes. Not recommended.
From dusk till dawn (English): The first half was ok. I didnt like the later part where its all about vampires. Except a couple of scenes, the movie was not good.
Sliver (English): It was ok. Not a good story. I felt the ending was incomplete. The movie has nothing except the romantic scenes.
Happy Days (Telugu/Indian): A good one. The movie is not an idealistic/realistic one but its purely entertaining. All the minute elements were arranged in such a way that overall the movie flows of like a cool breeze. The songs were an asset. I liked the "Rajesh" character so much. I burst out laughing at every dialogue of his. I kinda associated to people in real world. Other characters were too etched nicely. As the movie had 4 pairs, the screen space was arranged nicely and aptly. One pair is general youthful affair. The tyson's one was innocent and pure. Rajesh's was comic and Shankar's had very les space but selfish type. The elements which made me think its not an idealistic movie are the magics done by Tyson, principal being good, friendly and wise (I havent seen one in India like that so far, whereever I studied) and some minor things here and there. Other than that the movie entertains you to the fullest if you are from one of the similar colleges.

Unforgiven (English): The scenes were composed so splendidly that though they look simple they have lot of action and suspense. Clint Eastwood was at his best. It did not have some fast/loud background music but it was still interesting. Every scene makes us expect something to happen and a different thing happens. The action scenes were awesome. They are violent and also make a huge impact on the audience. I liked it very much.
Jaws (English): Its an old movie (1975). So, the initial part where most of the talking between the people goes was not much interesting to me. but as soon as the 3 actors go out on the boat to kill the shark, the story turns out interesting. This also had all the scenes filled with suspense, action and thrill. The camera work and screenplay was very good.
Syriana (English): The movie was slow paced. Some of the violence scenes were done good. The camera work was neat. I had no interest in the story so I did not like it.
American Beauty (English): I watched it for second time and it was more interesting. It had a very good script. Kevin spacey was awesome. The character etching for all the characters was done superbly. The conflict was plenty. Its a character driven movie. The narrator is Lester (Kevin Spacey). The opens with the actor saying "Today is my last day". The character transforms to a more optimistic state by the end of the movie and dies but the contradictory thing is now he feels life is all those moments which he enjoyed. He is no more afraid of losing anything. He even quotes to his boss "I am an ordinary man who has nothing to lose". Every character undergoes transformation in the movie but the major change is of Lest. The inciting incident happens when Lest meets his daughter's friend. The dramatic question is will Lest be able to achieve that girl by changing himself. So, the goal is to attract that girl, need is to change himself. He achieves the need by the end. He leaves the girl. The mid-point of the movie is when he starts working out and says the dialogue: "Everydays is the first day or your life except the day you die". Crisis is when he realizes that his daughter hates him, his wife is hooked up to someone else. He doesnt feel bad for any of those things. He is a changed man now. In the climax, he doesnt seduce the girl. This is a MUST watch movie.
Disturbia (English): Pretty good movie. Its a fairly simple story presented in a new way. The best thing of the movie is the camera. The first accident in which the father of the hero dies is awesome. I felt as if it happened to me. I dont know how the cinematographer was able to capture it but its breath-taking. The same kinda work is done in the last part where the hero fights the killer. The remaining part of the movie is good and entertaining. I felt the movie ended very easily. The kid kills the killer so easily. The tension and other things were excellent but a different ending would have made it a very good one.
Mr. Brooks (English): An OK killer movie. Kevin Costner did a wonderful action. The movie revolves around a killer who kills because he is addicted to it. He does the job without leaving any clue for the police. Overall you can watch it once.
thats it for now.

Sept 17, 2007
movies I watched over the weekend are:
Life as a house (English): Good story, cinematography. The movie is kinda simple story revolving around a family. The emotions are picturized very nicely. The goal of the central character is to build the house and the need is to connect with his son. He dies without finishing the house but succeeds in connecting with his son and making him a good human-being. Finally the son donating the house to the girl who lost her legs in the accident made by his father is moving. The guy in the son's role did wonderful acting. His arc moves perfectly and he did fit the role aptly.
The lives of others (German): I felt the movie was slow. It revolves around the lives of people in East Germany in 60s. One thing I like in this movie is the characterization of the professor. The opening of the film is good. Overall the movie is OK.
Tootsie (English): It was hillarious. The movie was fast paced, interesting and funny. The characterization of the main actors is good. Dustin Hoffman gave an excellent performance for his role. The movie keeps you stay glued to the screen. The highlight of the movie is its climax. I have expected all different other endings but to my utter surprise the climax was completely different. The dialogue delivered by Hoffman in the climax is so lengthy, so funny and so surprising. The dialogue writer and Hoffman for delivering that lengthy dialogue should be given the praise. Its a must watch. It had a tight screenplay and plot.
Dhamaal (Hindi/Indian): The first act was slow and kinda expected but the movie picks up pace as it moves. The later acts are well packed and have lots of comedy. Some of them are already known but still make you laugh. The climax is good. The characterization is OK but not excellent which makes the first act not interesting. Overall the movie is good. Can watch it for the comedy.
Heyy Baby (Hindi/Indian): I did not like this one. The screenplay was not good. The events were very weak. The plot is not interesting. The plot-points are the routine expected cliche ones. Managed to get some comedy in 1 or 2 scenes but other than that, its not worth it. I wouldnt recommend this one. The camera work and direction were sufficient enough but as there was no good script it was bound to fail.
Broke back mountain (English): Its a slow paced movie but it makes you feel. Its a story about two guys who are in love with each other. I couldnt connect with it so might not have felt the depth of emotions but at the end it really creates the impact. The camera, script are all fine.
that was it for the weekend.
