I personally felt shankar should've directed this movie mainly for the graphics.... total entertainer with too much in 3 hours. so i doubt if many liked it

The first half really got on my nerves and i was almost like "is this a kamal movie..what was he thinking" but the second half was just great. All the 10A have a meaning and the way the villain dies is so ironic... NAIDU RAO is the best kamal ever i enjoyed every scene and the songs were just average I personally felt shankar should've directed this movie mainly for the graphics.... total entertainer with too much in 3 hours. so i doubt if many liked it i heard many saying "sema mokka" and stuff

Cinematography - mind blowing. Must thank Vishnu & Anu for bringing out a different Ajith in Velu. The looks are great and it certainly took me back to 1999. It would better if Thala retains this kind of looks in his masala movies. Comedy by Velu was more enjoyable. I loved the training sequence and prabu's part in it fully.

| MADDY, these authors do not attribute the filmmakers with any 'intention' - like many araivEkkAdu bloggers have done. The existing cultural influences that have gone into the creation and presentation (even if not conscious) is what is analyzed. I don't offer this as a defence - honestly didn't understand the paper enough to agree or disagree.
For instance, the line "India-vu la enge vEnumnaalum pOven sir....Kashmir India dhaane !" is the central statement in the Roja paper (that essay is highly readable, I can't find an online edition). The critique is not that the writers/filmmakers are malicious, but that the film takes as given an existing cultural position and positions the whole storytelling forward - and thereby creating a profound cultural influence (reaffirmation) themselves. There is a vast difference between this and the annoyingly ridiculous trend in blogposts. I just want to point that out. |

| Venki, No nakkals at all. I couldn't guess that, maybe half-guessed when they show the freezed time(clock) cue. Btw I don't see any characteristic similarities with Fight club, other than they both belong to thriller genre. There are some homage shots to Hitchcock, it was also reviewed as a Hitchcock-Lynch cross. Edho ponga.
What I remember vividly though is the film shot differently, the style I'd find engrossed to (There I find the connect to "The fight club", and Fincher*). Speaking of which, I quite liked "The Orphanage", I d/led it because it was released by Fxg/axxo, and I'd say it was worth the bandwidth for the filming style. P.S: *Check out Zodiac, easily the most ripe work of Fincher. I'd take the earlier guy just the same, but he's still good. |

| Siva 1989 Telugu - Cult Classic
RGV, Tanikella Bharani, IR, Raguvaran and Nagarjuna
I had a couple of former roommates who were alumni of V.R siddartha college, vizag of which RGV himself is a former student. They testified to the fact that some of the events depicted in the movie have happened really. The movie is an exact replication of student politics, violence and local rowdyism happened in the late 80's/90's in Vizag. The movie is an absolute masterpiece if you can understand Telugu. |

That was a great plus for the film. When I was in colleage, my friends went to this movie many times just for that scene. Madhavan was good in romance and action. Action + Romance + songs + Vivek comedy = Run. Maddy also had a similar sequence in Lesa lesa, in which he will run towards a ground before the fight. At that time, these kind of sequences were famous. Dheena (Aruvaal scene), Dhool (lift scene) come to my mind. Sandakozhi dialogue 'Payyan mela kai vaikkalayae' also fits into this type.

. But I think every frame of PP drips with the the kind of ingenuity only a man who loves cinema could impart. The characters, scene settings and even the violence is so raw and complex that they go beyond mere intrigue. I haven't been so attracted to a movie of this kind since Pulp Fiction (and that is saying a lot ).

As for AE, it would be unfair on my part to pass judgement, since I haven't seen the Tamil version and remember next to nothing of the Hindi version. But this much I can say: PP is ONLY about KK - his rise, fall and eventual assimilation into the system, while AE is about THREE protagonists. Mani might not have had the time to tell Maddy's story from scratch. |

The difference is that the storytelling and everything that would make it rich and glorious was centerstage, the making-of-a-great movie was incidental. While PP seemed to like Selvaraghavan screaming "look Mom no hands !".

I love this movie, stupendous! It breaked many stereotypic tamil film making rules. Ofcourse it had some flaws but to me it is the best product so far by Selvaraghavan. So saying I wont accept he is the best director among the current generation, his 7/G somehow irritates me. I feel we need to wait and watch atleast for another half-a-decade.

... but I still don't agree that the greatness is incidental. Symbolisms, color effects and references are in most cases placed consciously by film makers. There is nothing incidental about it. It is entirely up to the viewers to figure if they are tacky or gel with the narration. In the case of PP I found that they went along well with the movie. Let me quote Tarantino again. When the Bride (Kill Bill 2) arrives at Bill's house for the final confrontation, she stops in front of the door, looks at the number for a moment and then walks in. The number, 101, is a reference to George Orwell's 1984. Now, what was the need for the Bride to stop and observe it? Was Tarantino telling the audience, 'Look, there is a reference to the room of nightmares. See my meticulous planning'? Or was it just a curiosity of the character? Knowing Tarantino I guess it was the latter. But there are others who thought that scene was quite corny ('fake'?). I think it finally boils down to how you perceive it. |

I turned to my friend seated in the driver’s seat. He was looking at me. He had caught the moment too. The film went on to be quite ordinary. But the images caught in a multiple mirrors, the slow arson background as the puny hero climbed down a drainpipe and the blood-tears Jesus stayed with me.

... The dark humour that’s strewn throughout the film is commendable and works well for the most part. But, it does get a little too overt or tedious at some points. (Some sequences are – e.g.: the politician scolding his sidekick hurriedly, before starting his senthamizh speech, Kumar assessing his henchman’s slashing skills – amateurish and out-of-place.) ... The film had some fine moments - raw, gritty, in-your-face, deadpan, darkly funny, but the film, in its totality, didn’t quite turn out to be a definitive thumbs-up venture. |

Agree. Terrible film. It was written by Andrew Niccol, the guy who wrote Truman Show. S1mone is just the reverse of Truman Show, isn't it
But Niccol's directorial debut Gattacca is a very impressive film. Niccol was supposed to write the script for the Hindi/English film 'paani' set in the future, about water scarcity in Mumbai. Shekar Kapur was supposed to direct it. Dunno what happened to that film. It was announced in 2005 or so ! |

Did you know Charlie Kaufman was supposed to work on this project and pulled out. His website had a rough typewritten draft of the script for a while. |

That software enables you to display subtitles (srt files mostly) in any media player. The divx (avi) file and the srt file should have the same name. That's it.

Groundbreaking cinematography. The scene where Karthik is introduced. He moves in and out as the blazing sun is shown and blocked.Nearly every scene is backlit....you can see a light outline for every figure. No other film has shown Madras in its sodium vapour-lit glory like that. Anjali (Madhu Ambat) was nowhere near. The dull subways ("thallittu vanttiyA ?"), the electric trains ("policekaaran adi eppidi irukkum theriyumle") , perfectly lit middle class Mambalam household indoors , semi-indoors with rains ("pullAi saapdalailla andha sOgammA"), kaN-koosum agni natchatra veyil outdoors ("pudhu AC vandhirukkAraam"), late post rain lonely night ("appA vaa. jaasthi pOttugunaaraa ?"). Even casual scenes like Vijayakumar in the garden are overlit and you feel the 'heat'.Similarly in the only fight in the film, thoongAdha vizhigaL song. Everyone recalls Raja rajadhi rajanindha raja... it is not the first time the light-outlines are used in the film. Particularly Prabhu's into in the boxing match. They are there everywhere, only in the songs it screams for attention. The climax sequence is a masterpiece. It dazzles and deceives. I tried elaborating earlier. No-one has contributed as much as MR in terms of visual stylization of Tamil films. And with PC in it is a different game altogether. Heard they are working together in the next film
Of course AN is far from flawless but one can't call it bad. And most definitely, one can't dismiss its cinematography - a 'real' milestone in Tamil Films. |

(esp the way he says 'police kaaran adi eppadi irukkumnnu theriyumla). Karthik pathi sollavae vendaam - Through he was more enjoyable in Mouna Raagam, I liked his performance in AN too.

It's a film that oozes with style; a work of a formalist at the peak of his craft. semma geththu padam, as Vivasaayi puts it. The various confrontation scenes are all brilliant.

Even if you don't like the overlit look of AN (which IMO was very imaginative and pleased atleast my eye), the film was much more than that. It showed so much vareity in filmmaking. But I am not going to deny that they did stretch the 'reality' thin. For instance, the scene where Umapathi is vexed with his fruitless threats to Vijayakumar and instructs him henchman's to bump him off. He is standing outside his car when he says that (in 'reality' he would not have had such a conversation in the road). The car is not on, but the lights are. It is extremely overlit and he is also wearing a light colored jibbA which adds to it all the more. But the effect of the whole things is just extraordinary. |

like like, same same... Bala aNNE, I'm particularly surprised, not because you think the film is not quite there, but because you refer to it as an 'aberration.' IMO, it's a quintessential Mani film. I mean, the sort of things that are in display in this film are the qualities that we've come to think of as "Mani-style." |

In any case, I mentioned 'alai pAyuthE' only to complement my mentioning 'mouna rAgam' in the overrated list (and so that I don't look like a nostalgic "those-were-the-days" film-enthusiast!).

The biggest plus in the movie is Tyrewala's screenplay and charecterizations. He proved his worth in Maqbool and to an extent in MBMBBS, this one is on par with those. Each and every character, even the smallest of ones is very likable. The cowboy brothers, Jai's mom and Megha top the list. Naseeruddin shah's cameo was superb. Another good thing about the movie is ARR's outstanding work. The acting was superb, dialogues intelligent, cinematography top-notch. The narrative style was brilliant. The gang sans the couple start narrating the story to a newbie (to the gang) girl. And at the most interesting parts, that girl's reactions were shown to which the viewer can totally relate to (Much like karunas' character in katRathu thamizh). Even the cliched airport climax was justified thanks to the director's intelligent technique! The director could have shown the romance (??) between Jai and Aditi a little better. Everyone around them believe that they are made for each other, but they don't look like that for about 70% of the movie. Thats the only negative IMO and that makes the movie a few notches below DCH, which is the best movie of the same genre.| From: NOV on Sun Jul 13 7:00:10 2008. |

The movie has a lot of stuff in it, right from the first scene at the airport. I liked the songs before watching the movie and only a few of them are used, at right places, in the background. On the flip side, the cinematography and the BGM were below par, they needed to be top-notch for such an amazing script/. screenplay could have been a little crisper it was pretty good never the less.

| In Memmorium of my Best Friend…….
It was one of those pale, cold, breezy evenings in December last when I walked past the large gates of my college. After 10 long painful years……!! After 10 dark years of Solitude….. I am now back at my college which once was Heaven on Earth . Withered Leaves on the road started dancing in the gentle breeze that was there. The air was cool. The Breeze …. gently hit my face …it had such a soothing effect which made me feel light at heart. The same old road ….that has tall Asoka and pine trees all along ……all led to my college…. My Alma Mater. There was the welcoming Board in front of me at the gates which said…… “ 9TH RICHARD GONZALVAZ MEMORIAL AWARD DISTRIBUTION & ALUMNI MEET” My foot showed laziness to move. I thought …. Today is 21st December. It has been exactly 10 years since Richard has left this world. 10 years of loneliness … since my Richy had left me alone. 10 years back … this was the bloody damn date when he died on my Lap. Further ahead there was a small turning to right which was so familiar to me …. The ‘right ‘ which Richy and I had took hundreds of times together… walking…. Staggering….riding ….and so on… The sign board said ….’Hostel Block B’. I could hear applauds from the auditorium which was near by and which lay straight ahead. Those sounds meant that the function has already got underway. But I preferred to take right. To go to the room where Richy and I had spent the best 4 years of our lives. Our B-Tech College life. The warden recognized me immediately. Our Old George Bhai. “Hey Syam .. how are u?, The function has already started . what are u doing here ?” Asked George Bhai. I said: “ I know …. Just wanted to see B111… Our old room… just for once….Any one up there?” “No one there now….here are the keys ….. But …. Why son? Are you both going to conspire again how to fool me and pull yourself out for the second show “? To this I had only a forced smile and turned my foot towards B111. The corridors seemed very much the same. This was the same corridor where I had to drag Richy to our room after we guys held Booze Parties on the terrace of Hostel B on clear blue nights… stars staring back at us. His vomit splattered on my shirts umpteen number of times. I unlocked B111. The very same room … Nothing has changed…..except for few coats of paints on the ceilings and walls. Our own very aboard…where we spent night out study sessions before exams…. The place where we discussed girls on powerless rainy nights….The place where Richy’s brave expeditions took shape…. I could feel his 555’s puff smudging the air even now….Richy was my room mate…. No… my friend …. No My brother…. No …. My soul Itself…!!! Time ran back ….like in a dream…!!! I still remember the day when we checked in as complete strangers. Richard Gonzalvaz from Goa (B-Tech, Mechanical Engineering). Aka Richy. Syam Mohan Varma from Cochin, Kerala(B-Tech, Mechanical Engineering).Aka Sam. Room number B111. I started knowing Richy as a very outdoorsy person, a guy who had no inhibition in spitting out what ever he had in his mind…A bold, stern, adventurous handsome dude. He was fair, tall, and had bluish green eyes. His idea of life was to enjoy to maximum whatever it takes to be. Without any responsibilities… without knowing what “worries” were. He found madness in bikes, speed, sports, rum and money. There was nothing romantic in the guy’s life. At a later point of time, I learned the reason for that. Richy was orphaned at a tender age. His parents died in an accident when Richy was a Kid leaving him as a very Rich Orphan. Richy grew up as the commander of his own life. No one to question him. He once told me that he started smoking once he was in his 9th grade. He always used to say “Richy…. The Champ…”. He was stubborn. Never held his head low. But He was good at heart. He was an atheist. A guy who took life as a play where nothing but entertainment mattered. I also hated Richy for his weird Ideas like cracking fireworks in seniors’ room… revenge for ragging. When caught, Richy took up the responsibility and freed me out of the punishment which he bore alone ….one month suspension. Also he had Wildest of dreams like trekking on Rodingarph’s cliff where no one ever returned after trekking. The guy also knew loathsome tricks like inhaling smoke and blurting it out through his eyes. But The positive art the man knew was his tennis racquet in his hand. He crafted golden victories for the college with that. When it came to tennis, Richy was simply unbeatable. He won many accolades and this won him the so called “college fame”. Everything in of our lives just fell into place. Our Hang-outs on Richy’s bike, The college excursions, the behind-the-scene proposals( which we used to laugh at), the weekend canteen chats, his tennis practice in late evenings, the college day skit (which was such a flop) ,the terminal exams(no sleep) n so on…. It was beginning of 6th semester when Nandini walked into Richy’s Life. Or rather our lives . Nandini was also a Mechy(female mech. Engg). She was beautiful, smart and alluring. One of those girls who guys would eye even if they decide not to do so. She Joined our Lab group. Not only was she smart at doing things but also she was also good at studies. So Richy and I didn’t have problems finishing our records and stuff. We three went out for films. Had long chats in the football ground gallery and it was so much fun. We gave her the biggest surprise on her B’day(though Richy sponsored the gift) ….An electric Guitar that she longed for. Richy himself wrote his special lines on her B’day card. A few days Later I saw them sitting on the edge of football ground…chatting and laughing their stomach out. I didn’t go out to them and spoil their private company. While walking alone to the room, the chord of silver struck me. May be Richy has found his soul-mate. Nandini and him made one heck of a pair. May be they are in Love. No.. that cant be the case… he wont hide it from me…My doubts strengthened when I happened to see his copy a few days later . It was all scribbled “Nandini” in various calligraphy. I felt happy for them. More for Richy because finally he now knows the meaning of Love. He has fallen in Love. God … I couldn’t Believe it. I felt a little envious also since Nandini was not that sort of girl that any guy would appreciate being taken away by another one of his own sex. I too had a crush on her like any other guy . But Now She is my Richy’s Girl. I felt happy for them. Time went by… and it was our last Christmas week in our college Life. Everyone were in an exhilarating mood. I still remember …. It was on that dark December 21st I received a call from Prof. Varghese saying that Richy has met with a terrible accident and is dying on the hospital bed. I rushed to the hospital. My blood already was red Ice….!! The doctor said he wanted to see me. I went in…. There lies my Richy..all wrapped up in white cloth… Breathing hard through the Life Supporting Mechanism. It was so pathetic to see. It was like seeing your soul about to leave this world. He took my hand in his. His eyelids barely open. What amazed me was he was still trying to smile and he slowly stuck up some thing in my hand…a ragged piece of paper. With that …lies my Richy, Dead. His smile still there on his face. His Bluish Green Eyes …. Wet …. But motionless…!!! The paper he gave was the last ever words he spoke… The Solemn secret of his that I have Held for the past ten years…. Which gifted me one Life Time of agony….The most paining words u ll ever get from a friend… Dear Sam Brother, Pardon me if I am being wrong in doing this. But I have no options. I will not be there to smile back at u when u r reading this stuff……..U know bro… Life is a bloody riddle. I had been cheated once when your so called God took my Mom and Dad away. But he gave you to me.. I rejoiced. He gave me one beautiful set of friends … Like David, Eshant , Gayathri and…. And finally Nandini. She is too Good Man. Such a sweet Kid. I don’t know what made me close to her. But One thing I know dear….. She was starting to make sense to my Life….But I m such a monster to take her feelings for granted…..I thought she was mine ….until yesterday evening. That’s when she said ……. She is in Love with You Buddy…..!! Trust Me She Loves You….. And Look where am I again. Again a bloody rotten story from Your God ….. I am out of Picture…. Again fooled….Again he is trying a prankster on me…..This time I wont fail… You don’t want your Richy to fail…. Do you? So here I go in search of my Wildest dreams ……trekking on the Rodingarph’s cliff. I will return …..Richy will rewrite History. You and Nandini form an awesome pair buddy. Marry her. I ll attend your wedding sometime soon. If we have a rebirth … as u fools believe, I always want you to share my Mothers Womb With Me Brother… Because I love You more than anything in this world…..One more thing Dude….. Please don’t take me away from this place …. Where I met u guys…. Let me rest in this soil…. Dreaming U guys will return……to see me …..Promise me two things…. 1. I wont leave our campus 2. Nandini Will never Come to know this. Let this trekking thing remain an accident to rest of the world. So … Its time … to take the passion to my soul…..Live Life Kingsize Brother. Love, Your Dirty Brother Richy The Champ. As the train of thoughts lay dead, I found myself standing beside Richy’s tomb holding a torn piece of paper. The letter Richy wrote to me. He lay at the far end of our campus. Nandini sits in her wheel chair beside me staring at the words on his tomb. I wanted to speak to him. Dearest Richy Had we known that You were this light at heart(not the one you seemed to the world), we would have never dared to play that prankster with you dear. It was I who asked Nandini to say like that to U so that you …. U would open your heart to her that time at least. She loved u Buddy….. not me. She wanted it to hear from u my brother. But look what u did….. Your Nandini has never spoken a word after you left……she always looks to eternity expecting your return……all these years. Wont you forgive me brother? Wont you come back to us…….!!! I promise you brother I ll take her to any part of the world. Get the Best of treatment possible…. I ll bring your Nandini back to life. I know U Richy, within a man lies his real self....which is known to only him....which is so bizzare.... sometimes.....Even the mirror can lie to You. We saw you..... Ur real self.......But u never saw us.....!!!! Please say … Something … Forgive us dear…..!!! As the cold winds brushed past me on that December evening, I walked back .. taking Nandini along with me…. To get the promise I made to my Richy. After all that’s the Best I can do for him. Richy lies there watching us go …..with letters on his tomb echoing …… “HERE LIES A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE WHO LIVED FOR HIS FRIENDS…. AND WHO DIED FOR THE SAME……” Author: Jean J Kachappilly Infosys Technologies Limited,Bangalore |

When a guy at the subway rapes Bellucci, it clearly shows her pain and showing that scene explicitly adds value to the scene. Same is the case with the PV climax.
If they are to show such scenes (explicit), strict laws like people < 17 should not enter theaters screening them should be there, thats it! |

The repeated derision in your post was uncalled for and you have rarely missed an occasion to take a potshot - indeed creating nonexisting occasions for the same. Which is what I am referring to. If you still think there is no big difference I am glad atleast one of us understands the apparent similarity. |

Good one indeed. Andha Naal Gnyabagam - remember seeing it in the early 90's. Pacino playing the cop & deNiro is the baddie. I think Val Kilmer is also there. It's a bit lengthy & slow paced movie. Those were the days I used to be so crazy about these guys deNiro, Pacino, Brando, Tom Hanks, Paul Newman....various directors like Scorsese, David Leen, Coppola..... Those were really the best of times. Particularly I liked the Scorsese - deNiro combo films - Raging Bull, Taxi Driver (you can see a very young Jodie Foster & Harvey Keital !), Cape Fear.. Another deNiro movie that I liked at that time was Kenneth Brannaghs "Frankenstein". Sorry for the digression, anyway thanks af, for taking me back to those good old days. |

I am sure it will be different. But Mahendran/BM failed in their last attempts (though it is mainly due to the theme and screenplay) with Rajni.

Makes me feel light and heavy everytime I watch that. One of a kind film. The scene where he stops running is a classic. There is this huge gang behind him looking for "answers". "I wanna go home" and runs back as the perplexed stumped crowd watches him run through them. They too stumped by the blunt end and one guy goes "That's it ?!!"
A hilarously philosophical Woody-Allen type moment. |

I've lost count of the number of times I have watched this tribute to Sivaji's acting, but when it was shown on TVlast night, I just couldnt resist it. All three of my children started watching and thier eyes were glued to the screen. What a story! What an acting! Magnificient!!! At the end of the movie, eldest boy kept on shaking his head unable to come to terms with the ending. My daughter was in tears while my youngest looked shocked. I told them: that is Sivaji Ganesan for you - the greatest actor to have ever walked this earth. The next generation is ready ..... to become Sivaji's number 1 fans!

Apart from that, it is regular rajini - who comes, utters dialogues for masses and leaves from there.
Looks like as if she was asked to remove whatever she feels redundant on her body. P Vasu did project her well in CM. Here she is horrible Bye bye NAYAN 
KSR also does it. But he ensures that the other parts are pretty good so that audience doesn't remember these scenes. (e.g., Padayappa, muthu)

For that particular part as i said the person is a supposed non-cinema follower who asks all sort of questions about the usual rajini things that we always criticise about and goes abit into other areas as well. I think the audience were meant to have a insight on why did rajini go himalayas and about politics rather than all start saying that kamal is a banda pervizhi. |

Though it is Kamal's Roshomonesque attemp, as told by the critics, it's got a strong nativity flavour, very good narration & excellent performance. I enjoyed it. You see a normal, rustic villager in front of you when he breaks after his "Appatha's" death and say, " Enna vittu poyittiyedi, naaye, thaaye, enna peththa thaaye..." Chance-e illa... And, before the rituals take place, just look at him crying with that half shaven pate !!
That reminds me of another superb performance in PKS. Though it is humour based movie, I expected Kamal to spring with a surprise and he did. He would say to his paralysed grandpa, " Poattukune irukken, annailerndhu innaivaraikkum - balti poattukune irukken..." This man is a saviour. Then Thenali, and then.....the list goes on... |

Nerd, Johny will also probably make it to "my" top 25, but there may be 100 others if we take a general, historical consensus. In any case, my point was about that scene - that has to find a place in the top of TF in the company of the following, IMO: - 'dharumi' conversation of thiruvilaiyAdal - parAsakthi court scene (OdinAL stuff) - moondRam piRai climax (Kamal hitting the post) - 'kiLikku rekka moLachchiduththu' of Barrister Rajinikanth - 'kai veesammA kai veesu' of pAsa malar - 'avangaLa niRththachchollu' of nAyakan (Kamal, Karthika, Janagaraj) - 'AththA Adu vaLaththuchchu' of 16 v ... |

His Godfather, Scarface, Carlito's way are my favorites and Scent of a woman is a good one too. Please watch those films and you will get the idea. I don't like comparing Hollywood actors with our actors, their film-making is different from ours and script is the main key there. So if you like someone here or there, enjoy his movies instead of comparing. |

| One quick point. (I'm saying this just because this has been a matter of interest to me.) Chaplin's influence on Kamal is nothing less than profound. Kamal "quotes" Chaplin in several films, in almost subliminal ways. There is Chaplin even in 'mahAnadhi.' Chaplin is one of those actors who've genuinely influenced Kamal.
