Little Miss Sunshine Review

The greatest feeling a viewer can experience after watching a movie is feel thankful for every second of his existence leading up to the point where the ending credits roll, a thankfulness for being alive just to watch this movie. I felt it after The Shawshank Redemption the last I remember. Here I am, with tears in my eyes I swear to Nolan, writing about Little Miss Sunshine.

It is about a journey these six characters, all starkly different from the other, undertake to contest in a beauty pageant called ‘Little Miss Sunshine’. What ensues in this trip is complete mayhem and how the characters reconnect with each other after a huge dramatic twist. Each of these characters have such an inexplicable adorable vibe to them that I walked out of this movie wishing a stand alone movie for each of them.

Alan Arkin is mind-blowing as the swearing, heroine-snorting horny grandpa whose advice to his grandson Dwayne, an individual who has taken a vow of silence adhering to the principles of Neitzsche, is ‘fuck a lot of women‘. The ones offended by this is naturally the father of the boy, Richard, a man who is reminiscent of Walter from The Big Lebowski. While Walter’s mojo was Vietnam, Richard can relate anything in the world to a nine-step program he has devised for attaining success. In the midst of all this maelstrom is probably the cutest character of 21st century cinema, Olive Hooper played by Abigail Breslin, who with her rimmed glass and a heart-melting smile plastered a smile on my face throughout this movie.

This movie meant a lot to me personally because the underlining theme is about how failures make a man. Each of the characters here deal with unfulfilled dreams about aspirations and standard of living. Yet, as the movie progresses, the realization dawns upon how family always comes first, apparent from a climax which is as hilarious and heart-warming as any sequence in cinema can be.

My heart burst out with joy after watching Little Miss Sunshine. The opening shot is of Olive watching a beauty pageant and mimicking the actions of the winner. Tears rolled down my face with that very shot itself. That beautiful marriage of visuals, music and the innocence of Olive reminded me of those times when I pretended to win an Oscar. No moment in cinema has ever meant that much to me. It was a perfect shot.

Noor Review

To appeal to the young-audiences who fill up most of the seats for any film up for release (for getting selfies in those seats with their dates is another reality), mainstream Bollywood has been diverting its focus towards making youth-oriented cinema. Since the release of Shuddh Desi Romance in 2013, which paved the way for characters who are emotionally and sexually liberated, many movies have followed the suit and Noor is one of them. Unfortunately, this effort to break the shackles of a formulaic plots has also resulted in a formula and Noor falls an unfortunate prey to that.

It’s major quandary is an inability to surf from comic to tragic elements. Dramedys take a huge risk for they are two movies emulsified into one, and more often that not they come off as phony, which is what Noor feels like throughout its run-time. Predictability is a curse of cinema, and Noor is jinxed with it. It adopts a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off structure, yet has none of the charm it exuded. When will screenplay writers understand that comedy isn’t witty one-liners wrote off as dialogues ? There needs to be scenarios created so as to make these dialogues effective as well and Noor lacks them in ginormous amounts.

The other quandary is its take on journalistic integrity. It takes shares and retweets on social media as a scale to measure the popularity of a news item. And believe me, there is even a one minute scene where all that flashes on the scene is a number of hashtags, status updates and like counter. I can’t imagine how a film-maker even thought in his wildest dreams that this is not cringe-worthy. The film for some inexplicable reason tries to accommodate the entire life of its character in a bunch of hashtags. In a world where even someone saying ‘Damn Daniel’ repeatedly gets viral, I have rights to assert that social media is the least of all mediums to be used to illustrate the impact of a news item.

However, even in the midst of all this ruckus, Sonakshi Sinha stands tall. This movie really did not deserve this amazing performance.The few chuckles I garnered was for the odd charm she brought into the character with her adorable mannerisms. I have high regard for her and I wish she does more of such phenomenal work, however with better scripts. Kanan Gill is fabulous as the comedic and emotional relief, and the movie does an excellent work in exploring the romantic undertones of their relationship with a gradual pace.

Maybe the reason why I am writing so despondently about this movie is I expected more. I walked into this movie actually holding high hopes, and except for the performances and cinematography, I was let down. I would however recommend you to give it a go without holding high hopes. Maybe you might love it as much as I loved Sinha’s performance. You can walk into the cinema hall just to watch her, and it still wouldn’t be a waste of hard-earned money.

Sing Street Review

All the real-critics, I mean the ones that actually have the privilege of going to paid screenings and review every movie that hits the theatres wait for a movie that blows them away throughout the year. This movie is found seldom, after sitting through an inconceivable amount of shite. But, it’s that feeling one has after watch a truly great movie, that incommunicable mix of emotions that keeps them going. I, on the other hand, watch only classics on my computer, which you might think is better because I can afford the luxury of steering clear from all the bad movies (and the reason why there are so many positive reviews on my blog). However, I differ on this issue. As my day is filled with watching only classics, that feeling of blown away becomes more limited to me for I am impressed by almost all the movies. That is why Sing Street is special to me. I don’t often get to use this phrase, and to be honest, due to much fault of mine for I am pretty miserly in that respect, I can truly say, I was blown away after watching Sing Street.

Conor Lawlor is a teenager struck in the middle of poverty-stricken Ireland and the new age of music videos. He has a crush on an aspiring model, and wants to get her number. He puts the pretence that it is contact her for a music video of the band he is a part of. Works very well for him, to be honest. However, he now realises there is one daunting task before him, to put a band.

Many a times I have felt art is in a state of oneness, for when two or more of them converge, it only helps in enhancing the experience. When music meets cinema, it is pure magic and who better to capture that magic effortlessly than the Quentin Tarantino of the musical genre, John Carney. Carney weaved magic with his movies, Once and Begin Again which are very dear to me, and as is their music. The problem with most musicals is that the music itself is abominable. All who have watched Carney’s movies will admit that regardless of whether they liked the movie or not (which they did), they will end up buying the soundtrack. Sing Street has beautiful songs, which I am pretty sure I will be humming to for the years to come.

Teenage innocence and music beautifully coalesce to form an act veering towards redemption in Sing Street. Carney creates winsome characters here, and we genuinely care about their lives and aspirations. Sing Street is at its heart, an underdog story but considering the aggregate amount of those stories Hollywood has churned out to market on our feelings, it is a bonzer of a feeling to have a genuine one. The characters here seem to be genuinely passionate about their dreams, and why not, it is their only shot at redemption. There is a maximally beautiful sequence where Cosmo and Raphina are travelling on a ferry and a boat to England passes by them, with people waving at them. It adds nothing to the narrative, but is the fleeting images of the dreams and ambitions of the characters floating by them, so close yet so distant. It is visual poetry.

Sing Street is an orgasm to the ears. Rarely do you get a soundtrack which paints the entire plot of the movie and roars with the ardour of its characters. That is what Sing Street is about, and I guess what will make it so relatable to each individual who watches it, it is about a bunch of characters who just want to be heard.

Network Review

The truth has enormous power. Whenever we hear it, although we may not fully comprehend it, truth always seems to resonate with us. I believe that is why since its release in 1976, Network has resonated with audiences of all decades. It speaks of the unadulterated truth.

Howard Beale is a madman who has a breakdown following his firing on television which garners high ratings because of which Diana, a ratings-hungry employee puts forth the idea of the Howard Beale show, where he would rant about our cynical times. As obvious, the money-oriented management of CCA laps it up.

Network is one of the most important movies, in terms of real and reel life. Its screenplay has inspired countless others throughout the ages, most notably, that of Aaron Sorkin’s. The influence Network’s structure and dialogues have had on Sorkin’s dialogue writing and most importantly, on his great sitcoms West Wing and The Newsroom (and the criminally underrated Sports Night) can be comprehended by any nitwit. Network was one of those few movies which did not succumb to the pressure of dumbing down its content so as to suit the general audiences. Movies which want to please everyone end up being for no one. Network has intelligent, fiery dialogues flowing at a torrent pace in the pure beauty of English language, which unleashes a power so paramount on the minds of audiences that it transforms into a great cinematic experience on the strength of only its dialogues.

Its importance extends to today’s culture, considering the irresponsible media which have failed to report on platonic shifts in global politics over and over again. Its satirical portrayal seems to be a near-perfect reflection of today’s media which places its resources to fish out ratings-drawing new bits rather than the ones which amount to something. Howard Beale is Chayefsky’s Don Quixote, a madman who thinks he can save the world from an epidemic of incivility by acting as a knight himself.

Network is not much about the corrupt and unethical ways of news-broadcasting agencies, it is about a midst of individuals trying to retain their sanity in the midst of a world full of insanity and becoming mad themselves, one by one. It wasn’t meant as a classic when it was made, it was meant to be a wake-up call to all of us. In the midst of this world where any hogwash can be passed on as a movie, Network is the kind of cinema which leads with the clarion call resounding in the heart of all cinephiles ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’

Anomalisa Review

Charlie Kauffman is one of those rare gems still making movies that make a case for cinema being the greatest of all art forms. His latest feature Anomalisa is another addition to his esteemed work. It is an animated feature, but is more realistic than most of the dramas I have seen throughout my lifetime.

Micheal is an inspirational speaker who is tired of his mundane existence. Everyone he meets looks and sounds the same. Change ushers in with a chance encounter with Lisa, a lively woman.

This is probably the funniest movie Charlie Kauffman has ever written, and yes, most of the fun comes from the fact that everyone in this complex tale of human existence and loneliness is a puppet. There is extremely witty one-liners. Take for example the letter Micheal reads in the beginning from his ex-girlfriend ‘Dear Micheal, fuck you. How could you just leave after all that fucking fucking ?‘. That is real humor, which springs at you spontaneously and leaves you spellbound with its wit as well as intelligence.

The animation featured is not as a gimmick. Although I believe it is used primarily for the narrative purposes since most of the characters have the same face, it helps in treating this as a true love story. Take the love-making scene which would have otherwise just have been plain erotic if it had been done with live actors. Animation brings a humor and an odd cuteness to it.

The script, as expected is weirder than expected. One of the most mind-blowing scene features Micheal being called to meet the manager of the hotel. Forget the hilarious dialogues, rarely have I laughed so much at the production design. It is a masterstroke of genius.

Anomalisa has an abstract plot of sorts, and I would be lying if I say I comprehended it all. But, I comprehended enough to know what was going on and care deeply about these characters. And that was more than enough for me. I fell in love with this movie.

Do The Right Thing Review

Dear friend Roger,

Since it is my summer vacations, I have been going over many titles that you have recommended as ‘great’. And almost all of them are, such as Hoop Dreams, Casablanca, Goodfellas and many and I profusely thank you for them. However, this letter is in regard to the Spike Lee movie titled ‘Do The Right Thing’ about which mine and your opinion seem to diverge.

As you might remember, it takes place on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn where Salvatore “Sal” Fragione owns a pizza shop which has a Wall Of Fame with photos of Italian-American legends. A neighborhood local Bugging Out finds it racist because there is not single African-American up there. And eventually, on the hottest day in Brooklyn, violence breaks out.

Spike Lee meticulously traces the various events unfolding the day and molds characters with distinctive personalities. The whole movie is structured like a Stephen King novel, where 3/4th of the plot is just a build up to the explosion set to unfold in the 1/4th of it.

However, this work looks disoriented to me. There are too many characters Lee is playing with at once. He intends to bring racism and bigotry at the center, but all he ends up doing is creating a work which seems to uphold violence, by illustrating an aftermath scene which shows that nothing of grave consequence ever transpires of it.

In its way, Do The Right Thing reminds me of Fight Club, where the eventual hate builds up to such an extent that it erupts eventually in volcanic proportions. I admire such movies, because they incite strong feelings from the viewer. He either loves it very much or hates very much. There is no middle ground.

But I, unfortunately, seem to belong to the latter group. The characters seem to be telling a different story, and the film-maker a different one. It is a plethora of emotions culminating into a final mess, and as much I admire the craft, the less I care about its message.

However, I agree with your views that Danny Aiello should have won the Oscar. For me, he was the only bright spark in this otherwise doomed experiment. He stands out in every scene he is featured and the raw emotions that materialize on his face are the only ones that seem to be worthy of any empathy.

Do The Right Thing is a noble experiment gone very wrong and although Lee’s intentions were pure, I have to admit, I would have smashed that radio of Radio Raheem myself if I had the chance. That song gets on the nerves and that is the absolute truth, Ruth.

Yours faithfully,

Anand Nair.

The Breakfast Club Review

The brats of the 70’s, Dogme 95,…even the mention of these revolutions must give hardcore cinephiles the goosebumps, I reckon. They saved cinema. Now you may be thinking to yourself (obviously you ain’t but pretend for my sake) when does cinema need saving ? Well, I think it is when every character you see on the screen from the opening to the ending credits is a tried-and-tested cliche. It is when scripts are dumbed down for the audiences. And if you want to test that the veracity of my statement is hors concours, then go watch a movie about teenage. Well,….. just not The Breakfast Club. It’s sheer genius. I know when you watch it, it probably doesn’t come off as one, but it is and here’s why.

This is the premise. Five teenagers, each a stereotype- the prom queen, the sports star, the nerd, the weirdo and the jerk are put together in the school library on a Saturday for detention. And as their conversations progress, the layers start peeling off. The characters basically just sleep, swear, talk about how much their parents suck and sex and occasionally, smoke weed. So as you can see, it is at least brutally realistic.

And that realism is its most paramount factor. Take almost any other teenage movie and you will see how screenplays shamelessly sugarcoat teenage angst till it appears to be banal, and the only factor that remains is the one which the target audience (read teenage couples) go into the cinema halls to see, viz. plot mechanisms related to testosterone and progesterone.

But, in The Breakfast Club, John Hughes treats his characters and their angst with the respect it deserves. They say all great art is about something deeper than it admits. On the surface, The Breakfast Club may look like a simple plot, but at its crux, it is a tale of identity crisis in teenage years and how the stereotypes we assume in that period, meaninglessly keep us captive in a self-constructed prison. Throughout the movie, Hughes pays special attention in not focusing on any character, yet diverting that attention towards their tales by which each characters dons a different stereotype depending on the tale he/she is saying, so as to illustrate the transcendental nature of the roles we consider to permanent.

It also explores what I think is the only beauty in teenage life – how conversations seem to be meaningful and life-changing. Through the course of the movie, the characters mostly yank about balderdash, but towards the end, an eerie silence hangs over the movie, affirming it all did add up to something important, which one of them will take away. And instead of sugarcoating the plot with an uplifting ending, Hughes opts for a bittersweet one, which will be cherished long after the screen fades. (This all takes place during a Saturday detention by the way)

All though I may have destroyed the interest you may have had in watching this movie by making it look like a mind-fuck Kaufman, believe me, it is the most fun you can have watching a movie. The Breakfast Club is a hilarious and poignant tale, the kind which refreshes our memory from time to time on why we actually go to the movies.

Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam Review

There is a scene in which after undergoing speech therapy, Sudhi gives a speech in his school. After finishing the speech, there is a moment of relief on his face. Eyes moistened, face smiling as if he had undergone some kind of redemption. It is one of the most emotionally charged moments I have seen in recent cinema history and left an imprint on my mind.

I haven’t seen a movie for a long time which has had an impact on my life as this one. It is one of those harrowing, emotional experiences that come rarely in movie-watching experiences.

As a nerd, I have always had problems. And no, no one teases me or anything like that. As a nerd, the biggest problem is you have difficulty in expressing yourself. Your mind is filled with ideas about so many topics and no cares to listen about them. I related to this movie. It is about a man who struggles to get through life normally because of his stuttering problem. But what is it really about ? It is about a man who is frustrated with the fact that although he is intelligent, he cannot express himself.

If it was a movie about stuttering, it would have been a huge failure. But it is about the incapability of expressing oneself. It never exploits the stuttering part as well, nor is it exploited to bring about emotions. It is shown as a problem. The movie has emotionally charged moments which will definitely bring you to tears. The performance by Jayasurya is one for the books. What a great balanced portrayal it is ! The chemistry between TG Ravi and KPAC Lalitha is endearing.

Movie is humorous in nature and has plenty of laugh out loud scenes. There are particularly two vertigo shots that completely change the dynamics of the movie and this camera technique hasn’t been put to such use since Vertigo itself.

Did I like the movie ? No, I loved it. I think after 20 years, I will still be thinking about this movie. How it changed my perspective about life, how it inspired me, and how it changed my life forever. It is one of those rare cinematic experiences which I can truly, and proudly, hail as great. Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam is a masterpiece.

 Rating :- 9.5 / 10
