Shape of Water, Three Billboards, Ladybird, Hate Story 4, Tomb Raider

Watched five movies over the last few days as mentioned in the subject line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shape of Water

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis Royal Meenaxi Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• I felt among the three Oscar nominated movies I saw this was the best.
• This shows the power of US. 
• How US can emerge triumphant.
• Especially in the eyes of the immigrant.
• The story we always known.
• A mermaid has special powers and when they kiss a human the human can live underwater.
• Same we have seen Tom Hanks movie Splash.
• But the director had made it in such a manner we can forget the old movies and begin the story afresh.
• It gives a new perspective to the issue.
• Wonderful direction. Deserves the Oscar award.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis Royal Meenaxi Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• This is a frank story.
• It does not name the country where the US Armed Forces member has committed the crime. 
• Too much expletives in the movie.
• But it shows the depressing side of US.
• Especially for immigrants (of colour included).
• Worth watching this movie.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ladybird

• This movie was watched at Cinepolis Royal Meenaxi Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Ladybird is a character of the heroine.
• Set in 2002-03, this movie shows the US picture.
• It shows the way of life in US.
• Also shows some gaps in the way of life.
• US is not a beacon of hope especially for immigrants of colour. 
• In that sense Shape of Water shows the best side of US such that immigrants will want to move there and call that country their home.
• But this movie is worth watching anyway.
• For about 90-100 minutes we get transported to a world like a magical world quite unlike our own.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hate Story 4

• This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Tumkur Road.
• This movie shows "Indian values".
• How the "jism" or body of a woman is worth protecting and people die for that.
• And then there comes "revenge" by the leading actress.
• And the two heroes are actually villians in the movie. 
• But worth watching this movie.
• Like if you have something better than you can watch it.
• If not watch this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tomb Raider (Lara Croft movie)

• This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Tumkur Road.
• This new Lara Croft is just great.
• So much stunts and so much action.
• Shooting would have been tough.
• Even if it would be in a studio with green background.
• Movie ends in stage where it is shown that the villians work for her company only.
• Yes it is crazy story.
• I mean everybody is controlled by her company and she is the sole owner.
• Why her father remains in "self imposed" exile is a mystery.
• And then he does not survive and neither does the villian.
• Guess they leave further revelation for sequel.
