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.
