Notes on Movies

Best Elements Of Movie With Examples

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equals_(film)
Equals is a 2015 American science fiction romantic drama film. Box Office: $2 million.
Stylish. Mystic. Good Music. Emotions. Treat For Eyes. Dragging Finish.
Not able to sustain the dramatic build-up.
Rated around C by reviewers. Won some awards. My Rating: A+
Strong Theme: Emotionless Society. At times reminds you of Matrix.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_(2016_film)
The film is about a convict who is implanted with a dead CIA agent's memories to finish an assignment.
Budget: $ 32 million. Box Office: $36 million.
Best part of the film is the potrayal of how the hero remembers the touch of his wife and daughter. It is as if you are there, feeling the touch with sense of smell and everything. Deeply touching. Reminds you of Face/Off movie by John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. But this one, being positive more appealing.

Heroine Pooja Devaria (Iraivi Movie's widow Malar) Feels Fresh and feeling shy is so natural and beautiful.
Pooja's costume is very good -- especially her blouse. Looks lower middle class and sexy.
An auto ride with hero and heroine alone is the only romantic scene and Pooja excels (Director Touch).
Birds add artistic touch in movie. Worth the hassle of involving birds/animals.
Yogi Babu as manager - His conversation after hero resigns is very casual and believable. Especially when he says --- Ok, you can go.
Music Ilayaraja without songs is good.
Film is gripping but unconvincing of the hero's character. He is portrayed as innocent enough to ask little money but later gets too greedy.
Probably inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_Window by Alfred Hitchcock.
Only 93 minutes running time.
Directed by Kaka Muttai Director Manikantan (Also Camera). Another good natural dialogue deliveries.
Eye doctor Mona Bedre was stylish in first scene -- but too casual close to the end.
An example that intriguing and engaging story telling can even get away with major inconsistencies like hero's character building itself.

Bold movie for Tamil audience. Directed by Samy.

Well taken movie. Actresses are beautiful.

The same soil which destroys everything that is burried gives life to the seed. Gopinath
