Films of Mani Ratnam

[Vivasaayi]

Vivasaayi,

This could be because of acting, language, and the way they deliver some lines. But If you ask a random person of this film in isolation, who doesn't know Tamil and perhaps even Mani's history, there is a strong possibility of 'em not feeling irritated of the kids as we are.

And yeah, most of what I wrote above is in terms of theme of the film, and the characters. Sure I didn't really "love" the kids. But, my reaction to them is no different from my reaction to Scout and Jem. Though with Scout and Jem, their "innocence" were striking, but with A&A, you don't get that feeling.

yeah....i understood ur point with ur reply to cr.

except that suhasini part...trying to decipher

"except that suhasini part...trying to decipher "

Well, that was my reaction.

Mani's kids (in the films) are not as irritating as Suhasini, but enough to call them younger not-so-bad versions of her.

Not even their characterizations? Scout and Jem are written with similar "adhigaprasangithanam", but they do have a feel of childlike quality about 'em. But when you adopt it into motion pictures, there are other elements which could come into this. Acting, dialogue delivery, etc. Mani's kids suffer from a pseudo-voice pivoting them, and his long history of kids portrayal leads us to believe this way.

yeah, first thappa purinjukitten (see prev post edited).

In fact, Most of his kids act, and behave like a young Suhasini, too irritating for their own good. If you get what I mean.

The world would be a better place without KB's women and Maniyaan's kids
