I was waiting for yday to watch the Godfather movie and thank God I was able to complete the story before that. In short, the screenplay was a perfect precise writing of the novel. All unnecessary characters shortened, important scenes included. In all, atleast as per my opinion, if you have read the novel, you will appreciate the movie very much. No wonder the movie's screenplay writer was the novel author himself along with Francis Ford Coppola. There is no doubt about the performances, be it Marlon Brando or Al Pacino or anyone for that matter. But was it popular because of the Novel that was as popular as the movie? I am not sure if any one who has not read the novel will appreciate the movie the same way. Because it might be a little too fast. In fact the Johnny Fontane episode in the novel was elaborated to showcase the family sentiments of The Godfather and likewise the Sicilians and all that. You cannot just introduce a character and make it important for the hero and not explain who he is.. so it was good in the novel. But in the movie, it was on a fast track. That is what made me wonder.. It is very rare for a novel of your interest to be shown perfectly on a screen with the characters well tailored and casting, well done. This is the best of the lot.
No wonder it on the top list. Deserves all the credit it gets. Neat performances. Agmark Francis Ford Coppola's movie :D
This movie, Guzaarish, was something which I wanted to see a month ago, but did not get the chance. Why ? obviously because of the star cast and the director. Hrithik and Ash is a very popular and perfect on screen pair, according to me. I have seen all their movies and all of them I have liked, right from Dhoom to Guzaarish and they look amazing. And no less in this movie too. Even though they have relied on their acting skills rather than their looks in this. Ash is beginnign to show her age a lot nowadays. But I feel thats good :D. Hrithik has used his face well in this movie for some subtle expressions. And as usual his dance , even though its shown less, was amazing.. After the disastrous Kites, this was very refreshing for me. And songs were surprising, because I did not hear them till now. It was very fresh.
Regarding the story, It was different and is bound to lot of controversies, definitely. I stand by Mascarenas in that. He sustained for almost 14 yrs , I wouldnt do that even for a day, if it was me. The sad part was that he had to take someone else's help even to kill himself. What a pathetic situation to be in. God, please do not place me in such a situation ever and I dont want even my enemies facing that situation.
Something in this movie moved me. Performances were good, even though not exceptional. I would say its a must watch.
Boss engira Bhaskaran surprised me a lot after Tamizh Padam :D. It was in the same genre and it had an amazing screenplay and one liners and power packed performance by Santhanam. I would say he was the real hero of this movie. Man, I laughed my stomach out in this movie. Till the very end, they had the same feeling going through. This is a definite must watch. Dont bother with the logic in this. You can watch this anytime and you will feel relaxed after the movie. I never thought it would have been so well. When I was in US my friend used to tell me to watch it, but I never got the time to do so. I watched it twice recently. What else can I say about it.. Definitely a must watch anytime :D
