Quick Gun முருகன், a LAUGH RIOT!!


Quick Gun முருகன், Rice Plate Reddy-யிடமிருந்து Beef ஆகும் COW-களை காப்பாற்றும் ஒரு COWBOY!! படம் 80-களில் ஆரம்பித்து 2007-ல் முடிகிறது...காமெடி செய்வதற்கென்றே எழுதப்பட்ட ஒரு கதை...purposefully sillllllly, MIND IT, I SAY!!! முதலில் இம்மாதிரியான ஒரு கதையை பார்பதற்கு தயாராக இருப்பவர்கள் மட்டுமே தியேட்டருக்கு செல்லவும்...இப்படத்தின் இன்னுமொரு ஸ்பெஷல், முழுக்க தமிழில் எடுக்கப்படும் ஒரு ஆங்கில திரைப்படம்... புரியவில்லயா, படத்தை பாருங்கள், புரியும்!! I SAY!!
படம் மட்டுமில்லை, படத்தின் Back-dropம் கூட காமெடி பண்ணுகிறது..ஒரு உதாரணம், ஒரு name board-ல், "INSTITUTE OF COCONUT TREE CLIMBING(Recognised), COURSES AVAILABLE ON BETULNUT, PALM TREE, etc.,... என்று எழுதியிருப்பார்கள்!! நான் இதுவரை பார்த்த தமிழ் படங்களில் ஒரு உண்மையான 'பின்நவீனத்துவ படம்' என்று தான் இதை கூறுவேன். BEAUTIFUL! OO HOO, AAH HAAA...அன்றைய Dr.MGR-லிருந்து, இன்றைய Dr.இளைய தளபதி வரை கலாய்திருக்கிரார்கள். அதிலும், விஜய்-யின் வாழ்க்கை ஒரு வட்டம் dialoge-ய் ஆங்கிலத்தில் சொல்லும் வசனம், டெர்மினேடர் பாணியில் மேலோகத்திலிருந்து, மின்னலாய் ஐட்டியுடன் பூமிக்கு வர, ஒரு சிறிய டெக்னிகல் ERROR IN TRANSFER என்ற குரல் ஒலித்ததுடன் மற்ற உடைகள் விழுவது, ரம்பாவின் கவர்ச்சி, என அத்தனையும் GUNTASTIC GALAATA!
By being crazy, how can one filmmaker can offer you an intellectual comedy? Here in screen, creator SHASHANK GHOSH shows you how would it be..an abnormal comedy with extraordinary make. It's new wave cinema in India. I usually say, Love, Music and Riots are most influenced things ever, but after watching this move i can include COMEDY in it, I SAY!! Definitely, this kinda movies will intoxicate Indian audiences very soon. Even in Music, the filmmakers extravagantly gone mad with the usage of Clint Eastwood's iconic tune 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' with Carnatic mix...எங்கேயோ போயிடீங்க போங்க...Totally a phenominaly emphazised mixture of sarcasm, Irony, Black Humor, Intertextuality, Maximal-ism, Magic Realism makes this movie as a real Postmodern movie...a LAUGH RIOT!!!! MIND IT!!
மொத்ததில் மொட்டமாடியில் நின்றுகொண்டு சிறுநீர் கழிக்கும் பொழுது கீழே நின்று கொண்டு இருப்பவன் மேல் தெரித்து அவன் மேழே பார்த்து புதிராய் பார்க்கும் பூகம்பப் பார்வையை ரசிக்கும் ரகளையான ஒரு அனுபவம் தான் இந்த QUICK GUN முருகன்...

பொக்கிஷம், ஒரு வாழ்க்கை புதையல்...

சில நாட்களாக ஒரு படத்தை குறைந்தது இரண்டு முறை பார்க்காமல் விமர்சனம் எழுதுவது இல்லை என்று இருந்தேன், ஆனால் பொக்கிஷம் படத்தை இரண்டாவது முறை பார்க்கும் பொறுமை-யே, மன வலிமையே இல்லாத காரணத்தினால் அதில் உள்ள சில நல்ல முயற்சிகளை பற்றி குறிப்பிட விரும்புகிறேன்.
காதல் ஒரு மனிதனை அந்நாட்களில் கடிதங்கள் வழியாக எப்படி ஆட்டிப் படைத்திருக்கிறது என்பதைக் மிக இனிமையாய் நம் கண் இமைகளை நனைக்கிறது, பொக்கிஷம்! நிறைவேறாத காதலுக்கு அர்த்தம் தர முனைந்திருக்கிறார். அதில் நம் கண்களில் நம்மை அறியாமல் நீர் வழிவது, சேரனின் வெற்றி...ஆனால், இவ்வளவு படங்கள் எடுத்தும் அவரிடம் உள்ள amature-ism ஒரு அறிய பொக்கிஷத்தை தொலைத்து விட்டது. தயவு செய்து நீங்கள் camera பின்னால் மட்டுமே இருந்தால் உத்தமம் ஐயா, வேண்டாம் நடிப்பு, please, முடியலை...ஆனால் உங்கள் முயற்சிக்கு என்னிடம் வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை. பல தவறுகலை தவிர்த்திருந்தால் இது ஒரு மாபெரும் படைப்பு. சீரிய முயற்சி, தாராளமாய் ஆதரிக்கலாம்...கொஞ்சம், sorry, நிறைய பொறுமை இருந்தால்!
மெல்லிய சாக்ஸஃபோன் கசிவால் சில இடங்களில் பின்னனி இசை பின்னி எடுக்கிறது, ஆனால் அதுவே பல இடங்களில் பாடாய் படுத்துகிறது...‘நிலா நீ வானம் காற்று'...பாடல், சின்மயி,விஜய் ஏசுதாஸின் குரலில் இனிமை.
இன்றைய மானங்கெட்ட மசாலா படங்களுக்கு நடுவில் மனதை உலுக்கும் ஒரு முயற்சி!!

Globalization and Kali Yuga

My anonymous friend comment on my last post,
"Modern Day Philosophy:Its all b'coz all the modern world is coming under one single ideology - that is money!.
The global mouse race called globalization and its close allies free trade and Special Economic Zones is hell bent on bring the globe under one single order called money, wealth and its material comforts.
So the fundamental question now is whether money is for human or other way around, the latter being the cause of all modern day effects!!.
A human is one who co-exists with nature not living against it!. And such a human certainly know how to respect another human. But in this Kali Yuga its all upside down"
...Nice, i really like his ideologies, especially on human existence and its destination. For this he must curse on Chinese for inventing money, but my ideologies are quite different from him. Globalization, is not a simple strategic activity, its a world longest war, and its a well derived evolution of nature from culture, tradition, geography and community, moreover it has all kind of respects along with the opportunity for co-existence for co-driver(another human). Its not all about the big eat the small, instead its about the fast eat the slow, nothing beyond much more than this in this globalization. If you can't adopt this situation, you'll be predominantly outstripped by your co-driver, then the differentiation is going to eat you. For instance, whatever you've got, no matter how small or big, sell it, trade it, leverage it, rent it, but do something with it to turn a profit and get into the game is called globalization!
By the way i don't know what he tries to mean about Kali yuga, but in my words Kali yuga means 'Know All Lies Instantly yuga' is called KALI yuga.

Show me the meaning of being alonly...

Many times i work at being alone, but what i feel then was very different from feeling loneliness. Loneliness, to me, is motivating myself, a reuniting my way of life and goals. Loneliness for me is never be a painful, when i know that I'm truly aware of me, i get out and go with people or otherwise i go with people and get into loneliness, then go with people. It teaches a lot, its the only thing that teaches time, the presence of present(and no one is an island, but whole world is an island!!) And it takes me to survive, then to fittest survive.

ஏதேதோ எண்ணங்கள்...

நான், அனைவருக்கும் பழகிய மனம் கொண்டவனாக இருந்தாலும், இழகிய மனம் கொண்டவன் என்று அனைவருக்கும் பரிட்சயம். ஆனால் இந்த இழகிய மனதினால் வந்த பலகீனமோ என்னமோ, சில வருடங்கலாக எந்த பெண்ணை பார்த்தாலும் அழகிய பெண்ணாக காட்சியளிக்கிறாள்(ஆனால் கண்கள் அழகான பெண்களை மட்டுமே பார்க்கும் என்பது வேறு விஷயம்), அதிலும் சிலர் சட் என்று மனதிற்குள் புகுந்துவிடுகிறார்கள். ஆனால் காதல் செய்யவும் பயமாக இருக்கிறது... ஆனால் சில பெண்களினாள் ஏற்படும் ரசாயின மாற்றங்கள் சில நாட்களேனும் இருந்தால் அது ஒரு இனிய அனுபவம் என்றே கூறலாம். காரணம் சில நாழேனும் அவலுடன் கனவினுள் வாழலாம், அவள் முகம் என்னை விட்டு மறையும் வரை. சிலர் மீண்டும் மீண்டும் நம் முன்னாள் தோன்றுவதினாள் ஏற்படும் சலிப்பு கூட சில சமயங்களில் ஏற்படுவதில்லை என்றால் பார்த்துக்கொள்லுங்களேன்!! இப்படி எல்லாம் காதலை பற்றி எழுத மனம் துடிக்கும் சில நேரங்களில்...இவை எல்லாம் காற்றினால் மரங்களுக்கு ஏற்படும் சல சல-ப்புகள் என்று அரிந்ததும் மனம், சலனம் இல்லாத நீரோடையாக அடுத்த கரையை நோக்கி கறையில்லாமல் மிதக்கிறது...
"To Watch you leaving...is to know that I've lost my place on this earth. My station. My heart's home. That i will wander, forever a nomad. Alone and alone. And in my troubled dreams watch you leave, again and again...For the balance of my days..." என்று யாரோ ஒரு முட்டள் கவி எழுதியது தான் ஞாபகம் வருகிறது...

3P's 5.0*

A honey with money is fenny,
A honey without money is funny,
So life is something to do when you can't find honey or money.

A kiss is a only trick to stop your lover/wife's words when she found truth!

Moral of good peaceful life, either you should be deaf and your wife should be dum or your wife should be deaf and her mother should be dum!

Chinese: When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with other.
Americans: When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a wealthy fool with one, and use other one to destroy another wealthy one.
Indians: When you have only two pennies left in the world, deposit in bank, say "im safe".

A simple i love you means more than all problems.

In making of life, think of an opportunity instead of security,
But in making of love, think of security instead of an opportunity.

Goals and holes can make a man fulfill.

Serious thought:
Education is not a preparation, but its an execution.

*All philosophies in this post are fictitiously fictitious, none of this resembles with my life.

Travel, get inspired..

I can prove that the traveling is one of the best way to learn and get inspired. I realized this so early, since last one month i was busy on my usual things, now again i thought of re-starting my soul of vagabond. Before i start again i would like to share some of my experiences about travel.
A journey is an adventure, if you go with a group, that adventure will get lost its aesthetics, so better travel alone or with strangers. And wander the streets and experience the freedom of looking and getting inspired, also listen the taste, lifestyle, habits, food, from near or far.
Avoid going same places in same seasons. Some fools will get repeat their trips as if they get saturated with their pilgrimage.
Be open and hang out in local and multi-cultured bars. Of course, taste the blend or malt of the local drinks, and take long time to get drunken. Try to get speak with co drinkers, no one will worry/object what you 're speaking in that kinda travel places. Who knows, it pours some millions or billions in future.
Avoid going Museums, statues, historical places. You can see those things through some other means, or what might be the use of hanging over the hanged overs?
Don't buy too much which you should carry along with you and also don't try to watch all places or talk lots of people, nothing will be fulfilled. Be selective and seductive. If you are in long travel, then you can keep companion, but if its short, avoid companions, she might eat your brain along with your money.

No Fun

I'm trying hard to write some articles, but its harder to get time in these few days like before. One of them is about King of pop's death...But, nobody seems to believe Michael Jackson's shockingly short death, coz' his 'History' is like that. However his music ll live forever. What so sad here is, the specific cause of his death is yet to be find out!!
Another one is about 'Naadodigal' movie review. Its not because that it will give a new dimension to commercial cinema, but each and every scene in this movie created such an applause among the audiences. I've never seen such an acclamation in recent movies. This movie has lots of lessons for super stars and super directors.
And wanna write about futile Indian music culture. Actually, I'm running out of time now, since i need to finish off some very important works...till then, no fun.

Nadodigal

Awesome movie, and wait for a day for its review..Now im going to sleep with the satisfaction of watching good tamil movie after long time!!

Blend is a trend..

In my last post, Mr.Anonymous said as that my thoughts are open as well as occidental and oriental. Exactly he is right. But in reality, the terms called occidental and oriental are an idea of antediluvian. In this hasty globalization era, everything from food, music, sex, culture, lifestyle, fashion has influenced each from the other. So there is a great need for blend. It also becomes a trend. Same way my thoughts and activities too has these blended elements. Its an intrinsic way of life. Nobody would infringe this evolution.

Metamorphic Movies 6 (Kim-ki-duk)

Cruelty/disturbing/idiosyncrasies/hatred aesthetics are the mother of Kim-Ki-Duk, a rare breed Korean film maker...Does contextual things are essential for an art? He says no, never..a real spoiler of contextual film making! I never seen such kinda film before his films...such an aesthetic art his movies are.. His movies are real cult among rough cuts. And his movies may be in Korean language, but it ll disturb even an uneducated tribe! His plots are unimaginable, and his making makes waves inside your veins.
I had seen some of his movies, every movies drag you towards his other movies to watch, such an artistic touch. Majority of his movies dialogues are around 20 minutes, but the way he had used the non-verbal language is forever hurts you. Kim-ki-duk is a real idiosyncratic or eccentricity movie maker. Once you watch his movie, you can tell his another movie as Kim's movie without seeing title card. His movies are not only shows the beauty, moreover it shows the ugly side of the beauty! He never cheat his own passion like other filmmakers, by giving place for some restrictions with external factors of film making.
The first movie i watched was "Spring, summer, fall, winter and spring", all about a Buddhist monk's life from childhood to old age through five seasons as five segments on a floating boat monastery. A life cycle from spring to spring with contemplative approach.
Another movie called "The Isle", a troublesome love among a prostitute and her customer on fishing resort. I say its an authentic aesthetics of cruelty. Consciously concerned with metaphysical approach.
Then "3-iron", another love story about a strange drifter and battered wife. What makes me wonder is there was no dialogues between these two till end of the movie.

Almost and always his protagonist speaks less or nothing, may be because in somehow or someway they're wounded deeply inside. An aesthetics of violence in silent way. Besides these things what really impress me in his movies is that he always making movies with some confrontation of questions among the audiences. Moreover he never wants economic success by killing artistic touch. Likewise i can write about his movies address unknown, Time, Bad guy and so...but what resists me is, the curiosity on his other movies in my collection!!

Existential Philosophy

Before i start, i accept that im not much a multi-cultured or sometimes not even a cultured one. Moreover im writing only with a mere perception on how i see the world of people, culture, art, society, fun, insane, sin and all. So it may be wrong if i try to talk about "existentialism", but in my view its a form of philosophy, its roots are found in some blah-blah-blah philosophists, and its not about a social conflict instead full of individual own sickness rather it suggests that the remedy for this sickness has in its ownself. Furthermore its all about authenticity, be aware of yourself. At last, its about confronting the truth and right/wrong and insane. Existentialism is very nearer to our eastern philosophy which seeks past own experiences to shape the present, otherwise, an inner world dependent. Western deals with outer world or much towards rationality and materialistic. Besides 'Existentialism' denies religion, but Eastern philosophy has robust bond with religion. So, i hope now that anonymous' doubt has been cleared. By the way Mr.Anonymous, its easy to raise questions, but you dont know how hard i tried to make this 'e'ism' as very simple and crisp, that too for my knowledge.

ஒரு படத்தினால் வந்த இன்னொரு படம்!


ஹீ ஹீ...இப்படியும் சிலர் இருக்கத்தானே செய்கிறார்கள். இரவு ஒரு ஒரு மணியளவில் படம் பார்த்துவிட்டு வீடு திரும்புகையில், என்னை திருப்பிய  ஒரு காட்சி!

...to be civilized!

Is superior ideology of a dominant society is the cause for genocide? or racial inferior of revolutionaries itself? Then were does Sri lankan democratic government starts to involve with this genocide? a hybrid genocide? autogenocide? Is too much of power in too few hands is the reason? Paradoxically, I'm totally horrified and confused about this term 'Genocide'. However, Genocide is a crime under International law! But, this International law is for civilized world, but world is not civilized yet!?... Then who will care about this brutal genocide? 
No one, till each and every human will become xenophobic, and then last human can claim "Genocide is a crime under International law" firmly. Till then we can give statements, write, read, discuss or even publish books like http://www.pagegangster.com/p/2Lweq/ ...no government or organisation is going to stop this, unless that these set-ups have some kinda purposes. So at last the successful exhaust-ers are both superiors and inferiors!

No more couch potato

Film making is an art, not an absolute spontaneous one. Its one of the well organised pre-planned art. Which has enough room to re-think and re-imagine. Though it involves lot of human work, as our population, India's creating worlds large number of movies in a year, but a very few movies are in world standard. Out of all industries, the technical think tank in movie making is in the level of appreciable. The package is well, but products taste is awful. Operation success, patient dead! what might be the reason for this flawed culture/period reflective creations? actually movies are one or only art which reflects the life exactly in that periods, people, style, fashion, cultural and habitual nuances, etc..Does our movies do this? Not necessarily it should reflect so-so's, but it has the responsibility to replicate those things and also there are much more hidden entertainments in the mirror of peoples currents life. There we're lagging still. The omnipresence of movie art in traditional and contemporary society is surely a hallmark in any period. Movies, literature, music, travel is always gives an on-going experience for me, it's a kinda existentialism, coz' it has its own aesthetics in itself. But no movie has this existentialism in current celluloid scenario. Here, i like to mention the meaning of OSHO, it has a strange meaning(courtesy:saravanan), like we have the word 'experience', do we have any word for experiencer? that is called OSHO in Sanskrit. So each and every audience should be an osho, an experiencer.Moreover, movies should be a life, an on-going experience. Present movies are like monkey jumping, each and every sequence/scenes are quite chunky, there is no continuity, in one scene the characters are speaking in some remote village, then the next scene they're singing and dancing in Swiss. This is a simple example, i can say lots of nuances like this.
In this case, Kim ki-duk, Steven soderberg(except ocean's series), Ameer(Raam and paruthiveeran(more or less or otherwise in tamil film industry)),krzysztof kieslowski are the rare case in film making, who doesn't look its ingredient outside from the plot. Movies are like poem, and that poem should be like
Come with us hand in hand
Join us in play and joyous dance
awaken from your dream of worldly worries
now light as a feather
as graceful as autumn leaves falling
hear the child calling
~Idunna Elemiah
or in my words it should be slightly hungry, slightly cold or if i ll put it very simple, or may be like a drizzling or a feel after nightmare, or even it can be like the feel of an accidental death of a stranger who was speaking with you just few minutes back on roadside. If they do this, Indians are no longer been a couch potato.
(to be continued..)
