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...

Bomarillu - A film that will remain with me for a long time

 # Bomarillu A few months ago my cousin elder brother who is 10 years older suggested me to watch a telugu film with a weird name, 'Bomarillu'. The suggestion was heard and then forgotten. But one random day I came across Genelia Deshmukh's instagram video and suddenly the name flashed in my mind so I googled it. On discovering that it has 8.2 imdb rating, I instantly grew a strong desire to watch this film. I downloaded this cinema and from here on now I'll just pour in my emotions of how much I have loved this film This is simply a beautiful, magical film. To describe it in words would be to devoid it of its' magic. The cast is cute and both the lead just grows on you to the point that you fall in love with them. Genelia, a typical bollywood watcher would agree, had her moments with films like 'Jane Tu Ya Jane Na' and 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gya'. Any guy would be drawn to her by her cuteness and she has a very fresh and happy personality that never fai...

Both genders were lost in each other with their fingers entwined. They both knew that they can’t have each other right away. They were standing in the corner with the guy’s back on the metro’s wall and girl completely leaning on him. Their eyes locked in each other with pheromones running wild. They were tracing every part of other’s body in their imagination and riding high on the amorous aura which both were emanating. They finally reached a café. It was crowded but they got a seat. It was a very uncomfortable spot in the middle of the room where everyone could look at them, their table was in the way to the counter. They sat across each other. The guy sat with his chest straight and buttons half undone, the shirt hung loosely to reveal his smooth chest. His sturdy neck and broad shoulders invited the girl for an intimate hug, one which she wanted desperately, and one, which she knew, she can't have. His eyes were locked with hers and his juicy lips outlining a despe...
