Kaithi, Parasite

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kaithi
  • This Tamil movie with English subtitles was watched on Hotstar.
  • For watching this movie I became a member of Hotstar once more.
  • I could have become a Hotstar VIP member (Rs375 per annum) but I chose to become Premium member which was Rs 999 per annum.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Worth watching.
  • Movie is full of "goose bump moments".
  • Highly recommended to watch.
  • The attraction of the movie is the "gattling gun"
  • It is movie full of brawn and high octane action.
  • Though some gaps are there in the movie, you tolerate those as you want the good guys to win.
  • And that is secret of movies becoming successful, inspite of little losses the good guys should always win.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Parasite
  • This Korean movie with English subtitles was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum mall.
  • I must say PVR Cinemas gives out voucher and based on points which you earn while watching movies. 
  • And using one such voucher of Rs 50 I watched the last movie Jawani Janeman.
  • For this movie I redeemed Payback points and got a Rs 100 voucher with which I watched this.
  • This movie is great.
  • At least the second half is great and is fully gripping.
  • And in the second half there is endless possibilities of how the movie might turn out.
  • While the parents are out shopping for their kid's birth day, the kid is inside the American outdoor tent and people have gathered all around for afternoon party and the driver-father is looking suspicious and stuff and I had the feeling that the father-driver killed the kid as he was going out escaping as the kid could read morse code which was being sent out by the person trapped below.
  • But then as the movie progressed the kid is alive is shown and it gave me a sense of relief but just then the father Mr Park gets stabbed.
  • The kid then faints and has to be rushed to hospital in 15 minutes.
  • We do not know if the kid survived or not.
  • And it can only happen in Korea and in a Korean movie.
  • As above the 38th Parallel lies North Korea who are the same as South Korea except for the abject poverty.
  • Also in any other country it is doubtful if the person who has stabbed his owner can hide like the driver-father does.
  • Maybe the director just stops short of declaring that the driver-father and his family are North Korean immigrants and the income disparity is worthwhile.
  • Anyway it is highly unlikely that any family will keep people without reference or police verification like is shown in the movie
  • Or a kid with fits and fainting spell which requires 15 minute window to take to hospital would be allowed outside in tent unsupervised in the rain for full night while the parents doze off inside the house.
  • Or a building with a subterranean chamber will escape notice of prospective owners.
  • But that is the magic of cinema. As it makes your brain that these many possibilities are possible or impossible to happen.
