watching movies was one of my "things to do in 2009 " . I thank myself for considering this and guess what , i have already watched 11 movies after coming to BIT ( Good from my standards ) . If one asks the name , here they go
1: Slumdog Millionaire
2: Rab ne bana di jodi
3: Schindler's list
4: Dark Knight
5: The sweetest thing
6: P.S.I love you
7: Legally blonde
8: What happens in vegas
9: Apocalypse now
10: City of God
11: Finding Nemo
My comments about 3 of them is ...
City of god :this one is special one ( my favourite in 11 above ) . One of the special movies i have seen in my life . I did understood nuances of excellent direction ,editing , story telling etc . Very correctly this movie is in all time 100 list . I recommend this movie to everyone , watch this movie before you die ( one website E! , ranked this movie 2nd in movies to watch before you die ) . If one can believe , this movie is based on true experiences of a photographer living in slums of rio-de-janerio ( Brazil ) . I would like to mention special information here , most of the actors were real life characters ( amateurs ) . The situation was so dangerous in actual " city of god " , that most of the shooting of the movie was done in different locality .
Slumdog millionaire: everyone has written so many things in praise of the movie , thumbs up from my side as well . But i regret one thing the use of english ( more then 70%) just reduced the magnitude of impact the movie was capable of producing . This is one of the reasons slumdog will be ranked below "salaam bombay " by me . Everyone is saying this movie is academy award material , i accept this feeling . Finally music of the movie was mind blowing , who else can do that , a r rehman .
Schindler's list : This one is epic movie and is about the Nazi's crime against humanity during second world war . They say every thing is fair in war , i am not going to buy this theory anymore . While watching this movie i just wondered , humans can go to such an extent with theory : Our race is better then theirs , shame !! . This movie is ranked 8th in all time 100 movies , worth watching in one's life time . Mostly in black and white , direction prevailed over everyone . Rightly the movie got 8 academy awards .
