-------------------------------------------------------------
Venom
- This movie was watched on Amazon prime Video.
- I liked the movie.
- How the Venom finds a host who is a perfect match and then turns into "good".
- Worth watching according to me
Laal Kaptaan
- This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
- I liked the movie.
- Basically you need to watch the movie with subtitles to enjoy the movie.
- As the language spoken is Hindi-Bundelkhandi mix.
- I will say my respect for Saif Ali Khan has increased tremendously.
- I have begun to realise that he choses his work and does those.
- This movie is shot at actual locations mostly in Rajasthan and some in UP.
- It is tremendous project.
- Basically what is shown is here is Battle of Buxar which made the English the sole ruler of Indian plains and India.
- Battle of Plassey was the main battle which made Bengal a subjugate of British.
- But Battle of Buxar opened the entire plains of India "open" to British.
- Those who sided with them were made "temporary" rulers but they were to fall subsequently when their use was no longer required.
- And the British used one power against another to degrade and eliminate the rulers until they came to dominate the entire Indian subcontinent.
- We have all read history.
- But this allows us to revisit as we see the English gave no option to the rulers of that time.
- It was either join them or get eliminated as "traitors".
- I am sad this movie ended as a box office failure.
- I will recommend all to watch this.
The Wandering Earth
- I saw this movie on Netflix.
- Yes people I joined or rather rejoined Netflix for one month only.
- And I joined Netflix for watching "The Wandering Earth" movie.
- So this was the first thing I watched.
- I had heard a lot about this movie.
- This is a Chinese movie and it shows the Chinese way of thinking.
- Chinese show that humanity has hope and will work together and become successful.
- But the Indian mentality is people think about their own selfish interests and will undercut each other and if crisis emerges they will not survive.
- This movie seemed so real when the movie ends we feel the world has already reached the technological levels shown in the movie but the reality is not so and you feel sad as the level shown the movie is very high.
- The special effects are too good.
- This movie is definitely worth watching .
- And as far as Parasite won Oscar award, I would have appreciated if a Chinese movie would have won the Oscar Award as South Korea is one of America's allies.
- If so called America "competitor" or "enemy" or a "country diametrically opposite to America's views" country's movie would have won the Award that would have more more sense and would have shown true "inclusiveness" and not appeared just as a token of appreciation to America's allies.
Ghost Stories
- This movie was seen on Netflix.
- It is a collection of four short stories, Bird, Nurse, Monster and Granny.
- Each story has plenty of "brain matter" to think about.
- Each story has plenty of "post story" ramifications.
- (Spoiler Alert)
- Bird deals with miscarriage and how touching nests of birds in young age affects a woman in old age.
- Nurse deals with the story of neglect of senior citizen and leaves us wondering whether in the end she posseses the nurse.
- Monster deals with the fact as to how big town swallows small towns and destroys those completely. Though what story is shown is actually happening in the dream of the protagonist.
- Granny deals with the fact that people who leave us never truly leave us. More than just their thoughts remain with us. It also leads to fundamental question as to what is death. Whether it leads to rebirth or just passing over to the "other side". And whether Christians undergo rebirth or just Hindus. Also the "seniors" always remain seniors no matter what even when they leave us.
