The Marsh King's Daughter (2023)
Good for those who have not read the book
The movie will be well enjoyed by those who have not read the book by the same name as the story and characters remainn a mystery for them and thus one can keep up with the pace no matter how slow or fast the story goes. The people who have read the book on the other hand may find it off or slow to the pace they remember reading it.
With regards to the story and acting, the actors have well adapted to the script and do justice to the script that has been given to them.
The script itself has been well adapted to the current time and is adapted to suite the timeline. The only issue one faces is that the story itself needs adapting to suite to movie watcher's taste and while it does justice to the book and it's story, it doesn't add anything new of its own which might have become it's X factor. Thus, overall, it's a watchable movie, but not something you will remember for long or will go back to watch again.
Chor Chor Chhupja (1975)
Movie with an old-world charm
Chor Chor Chhupja - 1975
Based in the 1970s, Chor Chor Chhupja is a movie with a simple storyline with lots of teachings for kids, as well as for adults.
The story revolves around a mute kid Madhav, who one fine day sees a monkey (Ramu) and takes a fascination for him. As the day and story progress, we learn Ramu is a partner in crime for Chor ( Om Puri) who is a thief who steals food and clothes to make ends meet.
Intrigued by the duo, Madhav follows Ramu and Chor to nearby mountains and observes the close bond between them.
To Chor, Ramu is more like his best friend than a pet. He cooks for them both and constantly keeps talking with Ramu like a brother and a family.
Realising Madhav is watching them, he follows him to make sure that he doesn't tell anyone their location. He learns Madhav is mute and decides not to move.
In the coming days, Madhav continues to visit them and soon develops a deep bond. In this journey lives changes for all three, with each having a deep impact on the other.
There are lessons not just for the kid, but for his parents and Chor as well.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Watch without expectations
Keeping up with the tradition of sequels being disappointing, WW1984 doesn't disappoint of being disappointing 😅 ... that said, the majority of regular DC viewers don't have high expectations from DC movies anyway and purely go out of love and nostalgia for the characters. What makes 1984 more sad is that the first Wonder Woman movie was actually good and set high benchmark. Gaggot, does a wonderful job as the main lead, but the storyline in itself is so disappointing that even she could not save the movie. So watch the movie witout expectations and only for Gaggot and the original "wonder woman." 🙂
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Movie just for setting Marvel's 'HYDRA' base
Marvel's first action hero movie that started it all; Captain America- The first Avenger is based on the life of American war hero Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who went down fighting during the 2nd World War and woke up 70 years later to find the war has ended and life as he knew is over.
Every comic book addict who has read Cap's story knows the above gist of Steve Rogers' life, but what this movie does is that it brings the story of that lovable 'little guy' to life and tells it's audience who exactly Captain America is and how did he come to be.
Setting the tone for almost every Marvel related TV show or movie that is going to come out over the next few years, this movie has gained Marvel an audience who are going to be hooked to their every release in the decades to come.
Captain America is a movie based in the early 1940's when Steve Rogers turned from a skinny little guy to a tall 'buffed' American soldier who becomes the face of American hope as the world went to war.
From story's prospective the movie just scratches on what will become Marvel's most talked about and exploited storyline –HYDRA, but what it does brilliantly is provide a solid base to the story of every major character, be Captain America (Chris Evans); Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell); Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) or The Avengers.
Whiplash (2014)
A movie not for the simple minded
A movie not for the simple minded, Whiplash is a film which revolves around the lives of a passionate 19 year old musician Andrew (Miles Teller) and his perfectionist professor Fletcher (JK Simmons). The intense story begins when Andrew enrols into the 'Shaffer Conservatory of Music-a prestigious music college' as a drummer and almost immediately 'impresses' Fletcher enough for him to be selected as a member of the sound team under him. From there on starts the clash of two musical egos; one of Andrew who with all his hard work and dedication does his best to impress Fletcher and Fletcher himself who holds no bar when it comes to pushing his students at all length to get the best out of them and to help him win every music competition. If you think from there on movie moves to a typical storyline where a student becomes a musical prodigy or the professors mends his ways and becomes a less harsh and better tutor, then you are so wrong and this is exactly where Whiplash differs from any other music related movie. The movie in turn sticks with much more believable reality and showcases pure raw emotions of revenge, loathing and pure determination to prove oneself. Both Teller and Simmons have done justice to their respective roles and have carried the movie with their brilliant performance and Damien Chazelle as a writer and a director has kept the story simple while bringing a new prospective of looking at a story. Chazelle also needs to be credited for paying special attention to visual details and getting into the mind of a musician, but the place where he lacks and yet differs from everyone else is not going into too much detail and not trying to justify a character in any way. The pure brilliance of this makes the viewer engrossed as to why a character is certain way and yet makes him also wonder why certain people in the movie even existed. In the end I would say watch the movie for its pure raw brilliance and if for nothing else for Teller's and Simmon's brilliant acting.
