Prasthanam (2010)
A Bumpy " Prasthanam "
Saw prasthanam today, and i was disappointed. deva katta is no exciting talent to look out for. i read a lot about prasthanam. unfortunately the depth and intensity was found missing in the movie which was otherwise aplenty in the paper's. and yet once again trailers did the trick for me. they deceived me. read in a interview in which MR.katta claimed that he never thought about the commercial success of the movie and that he made an uncompromising attempt. but, dear sir why do you have to include three shitty songs and a highly irritating love angle to the film which you've claimed to be made without any compromise.
Except For the extraordinary hair raising first scene and the brilliance of the cameraman sprinkled at selective places through out the movie. the rest is what we've already been watching throughout the years. on the whole not so enjoyable " Prasthanam
Fitzcarraldo (1982)
Oh My God!! What Have i Just Seen!!
"It is only the dreamers who move mountains" fitzcarraldo is one the most ambitious film that i've ever been across. the film starts with the title character fitzcarraldo played graciously by klaus kinski and his wife travelling 1200 miles just to hear Caruso sing. fitzcarraldo is the story of a dreamer who dreams of building an opera in the Peruvian jungles. with one major failure already behind which nearly bankrupted him, fitzcarraldo remains unaltered. now, the fact that all this has truly happened and the dreamer fitzcarraldo has really existed in blood and flesh makes the experience of watching fitzcarraldo even more interesting. with the meager money left in his pocket this guy set's out on a journey and you secretly pray in your heart that he hit's the bull's eye. he travel's around trying to set up a proper business that would generate the money to fulfill his casino dream. once again our guy does the unexpected. he leases an inaccessible parcel of area that generates rubber from the Peruvian government. purchases a 340 ton steam boat raises a crew and sets off up the pachitea, a river in peruvia.This river is known to be more dangerous the further one gets from the Amazon because of the unfriendly tribes that inhabit the area. Fitzcarraldo's plan is to reach the point where the two rivers nearly meet and then, with the manpower of enlisted natives, physically pull his three-story, 340-ton steamer over the muddy hillside across an isthmus, from one river to the next. Using the steamer, he will then collect rubber on the upper Ucayali and bring it down the Pachitea to market.
The most toughest scene ever shot by a man who call's himself a director is the ending scene where we spellboundedly watch a smiling fitzcarraldo and his crew pull over a 340 ton steam ship across a mountain. the director werner herzog didn't want special effects to ruin the most important scene of the movie. instead he wanted a real 340 ton boat moved over a hill and he got what he wanted. only a dreamer himself would have ever dreamed of making a film on fitzcarraldo and the dreamer happened to be werner herzog. " I live my life or end my life with this film" is the first statement made by him when he announced this film.
indeed " It is only the dreamers who move mountains"..
Hard Candy (2005)
Worst movie one can ever see...!!
What is the Point in making film that lacks reality !??. This movie is the only One i Felt like Rating '0'. As it isn't available i rated as '1'. Go watch this movie now, and realize how stupid and Insane a movie can be !!. It was all about a 14 year old girl having vengeance on a photographer who killed Some X girl. Ya still it can be more realistic more interesting and at least sadistic or may be bit psychic.. but you can hardly find something other than Loads of stupidity..!!
I sat through the whole movie because I truly believed that somewhere in the film a real plot would emerge, or some characters would start to develop, or someone would cut out Hayley's tongue so she would finally shut up. Hard Candy is also one of the most implausible films committed to celluloid
