The BEFORE Trilogy









Whats your take on 'Before Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight' trilogy? I guess the movies touch a very important and sensitive issue, is 'romance' overrated? Who do you think was wrong among them? I think that the girl is more to be blamed for their crumbling relationship. Even the astrologer hinted at this that she is needed to get in peace with herself in order to accept the awkwardness of life. In my perspective, the girl's strong sense of 'biased feminism' had made her emotionally unstable. In the first film, she is this innocent, naive, all-giving girl, but by the second film she (like the boy) is trapped in the past but (unlike the boy) has failed further in not accepting others individuality and thus is emotionally and physically unsatisfied. In comparison, the boy had amateurishly tried to move on. 

He is in better command of his self may be because he is not all revolting and though he is facing a failed marriage, he at least has found the source of joy - his son and his art.
He has his insecurities as human but still, I think he has been shown in a better light than the girl. I am kinda depressed after seeing the movie, romance is a double-edged sword, but then again what choice did they have, they fell for each other and if one becomes over-critical of others, they will end up being single. It's a tough call, to fall or not to fall? to be romantic or to be analytic?

SITA-RAMAM

  I don’t remember when it happened but somewhere and at some point in time, I stopped believing in love stories. It so happened that once the idea of true love went missing in my heart, I started to drift away and got lost in the market of cheap entertainment, it was instant gratifications that robbed me of the opportunities of waiting with dignity for real love. Words came easy to me once when describing any piece of art, literature, or music that moved me. I used to find my innocence when I found stories that were so beautifully unreal that they seemed divine. But lately, love stories appeared cornier and cornier and the stories became so predictable that even if I watch a love story (which I generally avoid), it fails to move me. Today, after watching the late-night show of Sita-Ramam, I feel I have found that old believer in me. I am glad he is still there, believing in the idea of magical love. This film was so complete in experience that it will remain with me. Sita-Ramam is...

Bemoaning of a sinner.

  Lucid view of my atrocious face, you'll visit the temple of satanic realms; Had I not closed my eyes, to the light ahead me, darkness invited me to obscurity; It's a cliche to say that I've fallen in dark; Do I've a path through this wilderness,  I'ld folow it to redeem my soul.                                                         ©  2016  VIREN
