February 2015: Films

Birdman



It screwed my brain.

Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro



Third viewing. Liked it like i liked it the first time i watched it. The opening shot. Brilliant scripting. The only thing which i didn't like was the appeasement policy the film had. To pacify the feelings of the 'indian' by saying Muslims were equally responsible for communal clashes as Hindus. This is precisely what any literature or art should avoid. You needn't say the opposition is equally bad to criticize the ruling party.

My favourite scenes are the one in which Mumtaz is introduced, their meeting at the ice cream parlour, the lighter sequence at night. Brilliant acting by all.
