Kuselan

*** Hitting my head on the desk ***

Yesterday we went to watch this movie (me to Kuselan and A to Kadhanayakudu). I didnt have much expectations for this movie as I didnt want to get disappointed. Even then, it was a big disappointment. Ah, oru pidipae illai movie la. It was neither a Rajini movie (mass) nor Pasupathy's (acting).

I really want to see the original malayalam movie now. antha movie avlo famous aayirukuna, adha Kuselan maathri eduthu iruka maataanghanu thonuthu.

Pasupathy was natural for the character but Meena with her make up (lipstick and mascara) for that poor character and poor home was too much. The movie was a collection of scenes -- antha maathri oru feeling. thunda thunda irukarthu otti pota maathri. The fim message (end title podarappa varuthu lol:)) is good but antha characters or friendship kooda oru eedupaadae varalai audience'ku. pinna last scene'ma mattum sonaa apdi dhaane irukum. "Nanban" nu Rajini solrappa "Thalapathi" movie gavanam vanthathu :D

nalla vela, engha veetuku kita iruka theatre'la padam vanthathu. idhuku mattum train, bus elaam selavu pani Newark poyi paathu irunthene inum nondhu poyirupen. The movie is worth watching in dvd once. 16$/ticket - worth illai.

I liked Livingston in this movie :-) his couple of comedy scenes (his facial expressions) are good. vadivelu'va adhae maathri romba paathutomnu nenaikaren. so nothing new.

Movies/My fav videos

I watch these videos whenever I want to bring myself up and keep going on with life.

I watched "Man on fire" the last weekend and there was a dialogue that Denzel Washington (my favvvv) tells a little girl when she was worried about her swimming competition. The girl feels that she is going to be tough and Denzel replies "There's no such thing as tough. You're either trained or untrained. Now which one are you?"
woooo I loved it.

There are a lot more great dialogues from English movies which I watched and inspired after coming to US and I am trying to make a collection of those scenes.

Movies are always my inspiration. Books also do at times but movies are always easy for me to grab things and start acting immediately.

Climate and Mind

I have this behaviour in myself. Whenever I see a climatic condition, my mind travels so fast to my past life and get back the feeling that I had during the same climate. For e.g whenever I see a very sunny morning, I quickly remember the school days, especially the exam time (April, May in India) and I get a fear/tension in myself as if I have an exam today. Whenever I see a cloudy day, I remember my paati veedu stay where we just used to have fun during the holidays and mazhai varuthaanu paati paaka sonnathu, mottai maadila poyitu, kaanja thuni elaam edhuthutu vaanu sonathu, oru maathri relaxed feeling irukum. Konjam trees iruka idam and nizhal iruka idam paatha college/hostel gavanam varum.

Mind ku evlo power la..It captures the moments with the environment, people, feelings that we had during the moment and climate too in my case and store it forever.
