(500) Days of Summer.. Has a slice of everyone’s life in it..

-



In case you wanted to see a “different & good” rom com film which would be of 90 min in duration. Here is your pick. (500) Days of Summer. Let me tell you the meaning of this title.
Summer is the name of the lead lady of the film and the film tells about the life of our lead man (Tom) with Summer for 500 days. How she entered into his life, lived and left him and how he overcame it. This is told in a non linear fashion. That makes watching this movie for the second time also interesting. As am sure we would have missed something in our first watch.
The film starts and ends with a punch. I will tell you both. Starts with this note which usually may not come in every other movie.

(Scene-1)  Author’s Note: The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
(Scene-2) Especially you Jenny Beckman
(Scene-3) Bi*ch.

The last dialogue of the movie is
A lady says to Tom “Nice to meet you. I’m Autumn”. Tom looks us and day 500 ends and day 1 starts again.
Was a very refreshing end and that was sufficient to convey a lot.

The lead lady of this movie has real beautiful eyes. The name of the actress is “Zooey Deschanel” The Cast of this movie has done a decent work in the department of acting that includes our lead man “Joseph Gordon-Levitt”.
One very interesting thing this movie is the director “Marc Webb” shows the same scene as one of the romantic one and also the same scene with the frustration in air between the leads. The scenes are differentiated by just BGM. Really wondering how just music can make the difference in the scenes.
Interesting scene:
Watch out for the scene where half of the screen shows reality and the other half shows expectations. We always would have this mindset when we are going to meet some one. And this is captured in an interesting manner.
The director begins the movie like meeting the one person is so special and we know that soon after we have met them. But end by saying that it is just coincidence. And that’s all anything ever is. And it is nothing more than coincidence. Sounds like a lesson for you right? Yes.. It has a moral in it.

My dialogues of interest in this movie where  

Dialogue 1 – We will be friends.
Dialogue 2 – I like you.

These dialogues in the movie convey either 100% meaning or 0% meaning. This is the reason why this movie has been made.

My rating would be 4 out of 5. I don’t think this movie will be released in India. So catch hold of the DVD in a rental or download it. You will sure not repent for the time you have waited for downloading this movie. I can send the torrent of this movie on request to your mail Id. So watch it and Enjoy J

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie. ...

It’s a Fishy world out there…

I always wanted to taste all kinds of sea food available in our fish markets. But my mother used to scare me when I was young saying that other fish expect the Vanjaram will have lots of thorns in them and it may get stuck in your throat if not chewed properly. There is no need of any proof that vanjaram has the best taste both in Fry and Stew (Kolambu) category and because of its taste it is also the costliest. It just has one centre bone and rest all is flesh. But I always wanted to taste other kind of fishes. The biggest hurdle in it is each and every fish is called differently in different parts of Tamilnadu. In Tuticorin the Vanjaram is called as Sheela Fish. So this was one of the biggest hurdle. Soon after I came to Chennai about 9 years back from Tuticorin. We tried buying fish from Velachery Fish market. But I did not like the taste of the fish. I will not say it was bad but it was very decent. Tuticorin had a better tasting fish. But Until one fine day about a year back wh...

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura...
