LSD: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha (2010)
Who would have thought?
I watched this movie last night. It has been more than 20 hrs since then. The movie is still on my mind. I had to write something.
I was completely blown away by the movie, and the Director, and the actors,and the camera work, and the writers, and the subject, and last but not the least, the complete outlook of the movie, which I reckon was biggest the USP of LSD.
This is a 'First' in Hindi cinema. Mind you.
This movie is about the harsh reality that exists in our society. There is no denying. There is no sugar coating it. There is no spoon feeding. There is no compromise. There is no pity. There is no make believe.
It is in your face as it is. It's all real.
The Actors have done a tremendous job. They have put those so called 'stars' to shame. I couldn't believe how natural they are, that It doesn't look acting at all. It seems you are watching real people through a camera.
Dibakar Benerjee is 'THE' Director in contemporary Hindi Cinema among others. He has Director's attitude and aptitude. He knows what he is doing. and doesn't compromise on that. We need more like him to revolutionize the Hindi cinema. And I suppose it has already started in last 5 yrs or so. Amen.
Let me tell you that LSD is not for everyone. So how do you tell if it's for you or not? Only you can decide it.
Do yourself a favor. Go, watch it with an open mind.
The Edge (1997)
Living on the edge
First of all I should tell you all that THE EDGE is not for every movie goer. It is about living on the edge, it is about survival, it is about hope moreover it is about knowing your strengths and having an positive attitude. This one goes as one of the best adventure thriller films of all time.
Lee Tamahori has done tremendous job to come up with this experience. Apart from awesome performances from lead characters couple of things stand out, the cinematography and music. The Alaskan snow covered mountains are breathtaking. Also the majestic music blends effectively with the movie.
Anthony Hopkins gives knock out performance as an elderly billionaire. His constant thoughts, presence of mind and stares are brilliant. It suited his personality completely. Alec Baldwin is effective. Conspiracy part is also beautifully done. But we take it out, The Edge would be a pure adventure about survival in scarcity, never losing hope and keep trying.
"Why do people die in the woods?" "They die of shame."
Bravo.
