Films, September 2022

Philadelphia

Wonderful film. Great direction. The opera scene and Tom Hanks' performance!

Ardh Satya

Beautiful film about an honest cop in Bombay. Om Puri's performance is to die for. The dialogues are great, especially the ones by Smita Patil. The casting of Sadashiv Amrapurkar was just perfect!

I skip watched the acclaimed series 'Chernobyl'. Didn't like the direction - which is why i skipped portions. The history was fascinating and remains a testimony to how ideologies such as communism of USSR can be life threatening. 


Tried watching The Boys - series and failed because i thought it was crap. So many people had recommended the series. I found the acting, script, direction all of it to be pathetic and decided not to subject myself to it after watching two episodes. I will never suggest this as reference to anyone who wishes to write a superhero film. 


The Verdict

It was underwhelming for me. Especially when compared to other Lumet films i watched years ago. It was interesting to note how the medical thriller genre is still hung up on anesthesia problems. It was okay and must have been thrilling in 1982 but i found the same thing in Charlatans by Robin Cook.
