Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988)
Gorilla Attack on Gorillas
Human learned a new technique called "Gorilla attack" and applied it against Human race in wars.Cunning poachers applied the technique against Gorillas from whom they learned it. When we go to the Zoo ,we simply enjoy them in captivity & never mind to know how the species were brought in & what kind suffering it had undergone during the operation. This is the class example ,how these animals are treated & brought to the ZOOs.The movie is based on the real story of an American lady- Dion Fossy -who dedicated her life for saving the Gorillas from extinction.
Happened to see this movie 2nd time after 2 decades & wondered how the single Lady had flown from America & fought against local poachers & corrupted government, to save the life of Gorillas of Africa.Her murder is still a mystery.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
A Good Movie- but something is missing !
I have been watching the development of Planet of the Apes from 70's.Other productions like Gorillas in the Mist,Project X are some of the finest creations stuck in my mind as ever green memories.I will not say this movie is bad, but still i have a feeling some thing is missing which i am not able to find out.May be the Ape looking artificial or graphical in nature .One thing i am sure is that don't miss the movie as there are lots of messages to the human race how cruel we are.The movie is really interesting from the very first frame like James Bond movies and the tempo has been maintained till the end.Eye expression of the Hero-Ape tells how sad is he/she due to the separation from their home forest & parents.Movie is filled with entertainment ,sentiments and messages .
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)
Jodi no 1
I happened to see this movie after 2years of release.The Story is well known to Indian audience and next scene is easily predictable as we are used to it.The Hero and Heroine are really talented but due to week story their efforts are in vain.We have seen in TV comedy serials that the Hero(comedian) used to play duel role just by replacing a sticker as mole in his cheek,for laughter. But i am surprised that how the director was bold enough to venture in to such idea of creating 2 characters using mustache as a tool just like Golmaal. kind of Movie should have been released in 80's.Hero and Heroine are dominating through out the movie.Other characters are not given any chance to play.
Secretariat (2010)
Secratariate is not like " Dreamer" I mean the Movie not the Horse
Secretariat is the name of of horse, win the race after after few defeats.The horse prove its HP ,only at the end of the Movie .There is no other message to be conveyed except it is a good racing horse.There fore the Director has no other go except picturing the race which he has done his best.The Horse look pretty and commendable job done by the team while shooting the final race.But here I want to mention that few years back I saw a movie called "DREAMER" a wonderful movie about story of Racing Horse.I am not able to accept Movie Secretariat after seeing good movie like Dreamer which has story values apart from very good thrilling,nail biting horse racing .
My Name Is Khan (2010)
Nice to see Hindu,Muslim and Christian unity in movies.What is real?
Every one wants to live peacefully without poking nose to others religious faith.Does it possible in our real life.For example ,take India, always for no reason very often attacked by Pakistan (after all once they were brothers)from border and by terrorism .I have lot of good and disciplined Muslim friends who are better than any body else.As for as Americans ,all Indians are Muslims and suspected terrorist.On the other hand,oil countries gives full freedoms to whites, where as treat Indians/Asians like bonded labors .We can easily tell the names of few leaders and freedom fighters like Gandhi,Nelson Mandela,Abraham Linkcoln who mainly fought against racism.Shruk himself had been treated bad while going through the formalities at American Airport.What was his reaction? He not even raised his voice to awaken the world.The world still need good leaders from whites to educate them against racism.Indian cinema should be proud to produce such a wonderful movie like MNIK.Story,Songs,camera and acting are very good.
The Tillman Story (2010)
Tillman has strictly followed the Quotation of Honble Jhon F Kennedy
It is real story of an American soldier who was killed in a friendly fire by his own fellow soldiers wrongfully. Tillman was a top football player but wanted to serve for his country than earning money.He became National hero after his death.This kind of documentary production is possible only in country like America since many countries don't allow to reveal any of the facts stating the countries security as main reason.The Army initially announce the death was due to exchange of fire between Afghan and American but his parents collapse when they get a letter from an anonymous reporter about the killing of his son by his own fellow soldiers.His parents take up the case to US congress .During cross examination the higher ranking officers including Generals too try to cover up the facts and simply get away from the case.Late President Jhon f Kennedy was right -Never look back what your country has done to you.
Conviction (2010)
Is it real....... Amazing !
I am surprised that how an average single mother (sister)who is not even a graduate takes pain to complete Law/Master degree and then take up the case of her brother who was wrongfully convicted by the court.She again open the case and finally exonerated her brother with the help of DNA test(in 80's awareness about DNA was not so sound) after a decade. She has to manage her family ,do part time job as waitress,goes to law college ,study the case,dig out hidden facts and finally get release her brother .The director has tried his level to give the best, without giving chance for contravention.No body in the movie has overplayed.This being a real incident any criticism about any character will blemish the image of real hero/heroine.I really salute the real sister.I believe that this real sister still continue to fight for the release of innocent prisoners.Good job done by the production team.
Dhobi Ghat (2010)
Good documentary
Dear Amir, What is you role in this movie and what is your contribution.The movie? is 100% documentary and i am surprised that how the producer,director and story writer are all really bold enough to take such a rich documentary film without delivering any message.An Indian American (NRI) girl sleep with an Artist , disturb an innocent Dhobi ,spend time with Aristocrats in bar.Four different subjects are dealt without any coherency.In fact the director want to show us the Dhobi Ghat which he has nicely pictured.The NRI girl has acted well but has chosen wrong story , character, director and the Movie.Amir of course always do the best but no role to play in this movie.Thanks for no songs ,dance,Music.In One scene ,instrument Veena alone has been played to make us to remind that this is an Art Film.I am sorry to say that NO to this kind of Movies.
Guzaarish (2010)
Classic Movie fit for Oscar
Excellent movie, but generally Good movies are not commercially successful.Indian audience are mostly given to see Masala movies of one side love,double end love ,Triangular love,Group love etc.......oh...tired of seeing stereo type love stories.This movie is dealing about mercy killing.Though I don't approve euthanasia as i don't know the pain of such patient,views may differ from person to person.Our Mahatma himself has recommended mercy killing of a suffering calf. After all i am an ordinary human ,can only write my review about the movie . Forget about the controversy, Now let us go to the review.Honestly telling,so for I know Hrithik and Aishwarya as dancing doll and never believed as a wonderful actor/actress. India is gifted to have such a wonderful young and dynamic actors. why these people have waited so long to give such a wonderful performance .Each one has done their best .Characters like Judge,prosecutor,defense lawyer.servants,villein magician,his son,hero's mother,Aishwaryas husband,Doctor every body needs appreciation. Scenes like Fly sitting on Hrithik Nose,Rain water dripping on his fore head gives lot of message from the Director.Music and Songs express the pain,joy,,sadness,suffering, happiness of the Hero's life. Magical scenes,lighting,camera are out standing and add beauty to the success of the Movie. Tradition ,culture,lifestyle,Architecture of Goa is well exhibited. Aishwarya proved her sound knowledge in Music,by acting like playing the drums while dancing in a song.If this movie would have been produced by an American the movie will score maximum Oscar.Good job done by entire team .
The Next Three Days (2010)
Nice Movie
Though it is a nice movie, i don't find any thing special or intellectual in the story as we have seen lots of good old movies earlier .Russel Crowe,Elizabeth and Liam Neesom have acted very well.The story gets its turning point after the entry of Liam Neesom who share his experience to the Hero how to plan for the escape from the jail.Traces of Sentiment,bit cruelty,wrong deeds,car chasing,little cleverness(nothing New) are visible here and there.The director has done a marvelous job with the available story and limitations. Can not imagine this movie without Liam Neesom who plays guest (vital) role .Nice camera,lighting,Music and editing.Main theme copied from the movies- Three Fugitives,Great Escape etc (sorry if i am wrong).On the whole it is a better movie.
Step Up 3D (2010)
classical dance movie
This movie is totally dedicated to all dance lovers.Dancing is an art broadly classified as classical,western,Hip Hop,Rock n Roll,Jazz,Tap,Ballet,Modern,Swing,Contra,Belly,Flamenco,Latin and folk dancing.why should we label the word street dancing as if street dancing is something inferior.There can be only good or bad dancing.As for as this movie , every care has been taken by the Director, frame by frame and made justice for good dancing .I never believed that a Chinese Director would do a film on dance subject since they are very good in making Chinese traditional classical dancing ,kungFu based and historical movies.Though i am not familiar with the names of the actors ,I want to mention that each one has contributed for the success of the movie.Excellent choreography,camera,direction,music and lighting .Best movie don't miss it.
The King's Speech (2010)
Good
I have experienced the same stammer problem long back due to a minor bike accident when I was 50 years old.Believe it or not i just came out of this problem within a year because of the best treatment given by my Doctor at Chennai.When my son recommended to watch this movie,i couldn't understand the reason for his telling. While watching the movie, i became the character it self and many a time i started murmuring myself(repeated) the words pronounced by the king.I got frightened myself as i may perhaps get in to the problem again.I regained my strength after the appearance of the character (speech therapist) named LionelLogue.I simply felt the happiness,pain ,joy,sufferings of the king all along the movie myself.It is just a feeling one has to feel on their own.For your information i am now totally out of this problem & i speak quite normal like everybody without the traces of stammer.I give full marks to the actor Colin Firth( KING) ,Geoffery Rush ( Speech Therapist) and the Director.Art director,camera and Music gives added beauty to the Movie.The Director plays his role ,When the king struggle to pronounce the word- people-the therapist add a simple word -a- and make it a people and make the king comfortable when delivering public speech.
