A good film really has to make an argument and show you something that isn't just a fake world that someone came up with. While movies will never be equivalent to the real world, some movies are just more stimulating.<BR/>its not necessarily that they are <BR/>intellectual, just passionate and true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424296.post-1144832675022855852006-04-12T14:34:00.000+05:302006-04-12T14:34:00.000+05:30it is also the kind of movies that we copy..there ...it is also the kind of movies that we copy..there is a certain formula that is set and more than the question whether it will work or not..One has to risk it..fiza had an unusual end.. rather more realistic.. but then it wasn't absolutely great.. there are no portions in which we see hritik's transformation.. no depiction of his personal angst.. to me the movie was jumpy in alot of parts...<BR/><BR/>and since you mention the indian clone of my best freind's wedding,if you have forgotten the movie had bombed. and quite badly at that. simply coz the movie couldnt work for the audience. <BR/>Inept script. repetitive mushy style of film making. and it just wasnt frothy enough to fit in it's category...<BR/><BR/>hence more than anything else you need a well made film, whether it be an original 'cine'-ware or be "powered by CTRL C".<BR/><BR/>Thanxa streak of redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00701607436504507190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424296.post-1144503553266299142006-04-08T19:09:00.000+05:302006-04-08T19:09:00.000+05:30your post quite well explains the mentality man......your post quite well explains the mentality man.... cant help it you see...that was a good observation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424296.post-1144353420213023112006-04-07T01:27:00.000+05:302006-04-07T01:27:00.000+05:30Surfed here through Daily Girl Blog (Priya).You ha...Surfed here through Daily Girl Blog (Priya).<BR/><BR/>You have raised an interesting point. My 2 cents :<BR/><BR/>I also agree with you. But in addition to this, I feel while copying or deriving from Western movies, nowadays, filmmakers copy the 'thinking' 'reactions' of Westerners even if it is not compatible with our Indian sensibilities. <BR/><BR/>Like in the movie Best Friends Wedding, Roberts tries really hard doing 'wrong' stuff to win back her friend, even to the extent of breaking his marriage, which would be held in a couple of days. Now this attitude would definitely be considered 'vampish' in Indian terms...however much you love or want someone, you dont break that person's marriage !! Its just not the right thing to our Indian sensibilities. <BR/><BR/>But nowadays I see movies which totally seem to copy Western sensibilities & it feels wrong to me...like this is not a Indian movie, although the characters look Indian and speak Indian.lost in thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562501950708072179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424296.post-1144310645715415692006-04-06T13:34:00.000+05:302006-04-06T13:34:00.000+05:30hi kartik, first time on ur blog. that was an inte...hi kartik, first time on ur blog. that was an interesting observation. but i ve got to tell you, mere yaar ki shaadi hai, or the yash chopra version of My Best Friend's Wedding, did not set the box office on fire unlike the original one. I ve seen the movie and i and some of my friends are of the same opinion that, it was stupid to show that uday chopra gets the girl in the end. but then, even if a happy ending is avoided, at times, the result is not good. for example, mani ratnam's dil se, which bombed at the box office. I must say that one cannot underestimate the audience's intellectual capability. it will not be entirely right to say that formula always clicks. for exampple, kal ho na ho was a typical formula film with all the elements. but the hero dies in the end and the girl marries someone else. the movie is a hit. so that is also there. a film like Virasat by Priyadarshan, did not have a happy ending, in terms of re-union of lovers. but it was a hit. so, it all depends on the film, the story and the manner in which a director handles it.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600725795857358897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424296.post-1144307495301016912006-04-06T12:41:00.000+05:302006-04-06T12:41:00.000+05:30Interesting post man,,,,Interesting post man,,,,Ajit Chouhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086521895202280734noreply@blogger.com
