Reign (2013)
Thank you, Flame princess(Shathi)! Its awesome !!!
When Reign won this year's peoples choice award as a new drama series, I was bit curious about it. I watched few random episodes on TV and it captured my full attention. Then suddenly I got the extraordinary opportunity to watch the complete First Season from my friend,Shathi.She gave her DVDs and now I am totally into it. I am always an admirer of historical drama since Troy and it eventually get more stronger by kingdom of heaven, The Tudor and Game of thrones. Reign is elegantly different in its story telling and plot twist. It has a nice mix of castle conspiracy but in the end suppressed with such a nice romantic tale.
Although it loosely follow the original history but to me it is a complete package of amusement with sensational interior decoration and costumes. It has intense romances,love triangle,treachery and some lovely people like Mary.She captivated the entire show with her stunning performance.
It is one of the best Royal teenage drama every young adults should watch. But Ladies, be careful, don't dare to look into Sebastian eyes...They will hunt you!!!
Scent of a Woman (1992)
"Whoo-ah!" : A blind Colonel with an insightful Vision
If I met Lt.Colonel Frank Slade earlier. If I could hear his last speech, that captivating speech earlier..something would have been different for sure. I watched this masterpiece today.. but don't know how many times I rewind and played that speech... those words are still echoing inside my head :
"But there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot solder back home to Oregon with tail between his legs, but I say you are executing his SOUL!
Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, committee. It's a valuable future. Believe me. Don't destroy it. Protect it. Embrace it. It's gonna make you proud one day, I promise you."
For me it was literally a breathtaking journey of 156 minutes only.I wish this journey could last much more longer.Because Scent of a woman changed my vantage point towards life in many aspects . Such an authoritative performance by Al Pacino.
P.S. Frank's Tango with the young girl was such a pleasure of mind and so refreshing.
Wadjda (2012)
A moving story of a sad green bi-cycle ....
I am so very late to interact with such a good story from a place under the veil.To me that little bi-cycle is the main protagonist ... It silently removed the sarcastic veil from the society of Saudi-Arabia .. I can tell it would create a great impact and be a milestone to change not only the language of Saudi Arabian film industry but also for the Saudi women .
Wadjda's cute little play-mate Abdullah represents the perspective of the changing views towards woman in the society. although they are little in number but they are growing ....
From a film student point of view it is a story illustrated very harmonically..and endeavors as the first woman film maker are great. I invite everyone to watch it
One Day (2011)
A feeling good,heart warming love story
I was too late to watch such a wonderful love story.Its a perfect adaptation of a novel to a movie, indeed.Like the name,the movie is based on a certain day:15th of July of Emma and Dexter life.Every scene of this movie got some kind of magical harmony which satisfy a viewer's eyes.
It proves again that friendship is the most universal and great state of relationship between a boy and a girl..but eventually one of them fails to contain the beauty of friendship that ultimately lead into a love affair..and suddenly the whole ambiance changed.
Acting was perfect 10 by both of the star-cast.
I would recommend this movie to watch and fill your heart with Love. I guess it would be enchanting if the movie was released on 15th of July.(it released on 19 August 2011)
