Persepolis

Persepolis

Frankly speaking, I hated the movie.

It was a slow paced movie and the story on revolved around one character, Marjane( the main character).

Technically, the whole story was told in a nice way but still I hated movie for the story.

Timing at its best

Brigade Road, this is one of the most famous hang outs in Bangalore.
In this busy road filled with foreigners and teenagers, is the Rex Theater. This was the theater that I had been to see Sarkar Raj(Mentioned about in my previous blog) along with a group of class friends. As we get out of the theater area and walk on the streets of brigade road, we talk about the movie since we all are film making students. We reach to a point where the area was no that much crowded and stand there and continue our talk on the film. As we were talking, a boy, aged around 14, comes with a plate and on the plate is a god's photo, begging for money. We ignore him and continue to talk about the film. The boy still standing with us over hearing our conversation. One of the guys, Ashwin, talks about the issue that there was too much sympathy was given to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan towards the end of the film and that much sympathy shouldn't have be given.

The boy over-hearing this says,"Give me that sympathy."


Ashwin, insulted by that boy's gesture and embarrassed gives the boy a Rupee and the boy takes off.
All of us, laugh our stomach's out, and that was the full-stop to our discussion on the film.

All I say is, how cool can beggars get??

Sarkar Raj

Sarkar Raj, a sequel to the previous installment Sarkar.

Watched this movie today, and, woah!. That's all I can say about this movie. The acting was outstanding and the casting was simply outstanding. The movie proved that it was a pure bollywood movie with its massive amount of importance to the music score(after every important dialogue, there was music that would blast your ears). The consistency of how the movie started and ended with Sarkar and Sakar Raj makes a very strong statement. You can easily understand the situation without a dialogue being spoken.

The end I must say, really was the negative point of the movie. They could have easily ended with a bang, but it okay. I was thinking about another end and I have come up with one, but if I blog it right now then it will turn out into a spoiler, so I'll wait for a few more days to give out my ending.

Petroleum Prices Hike

The Central Government of India gave out a statement mentioning that petroleum rates are going to rise by Rs 5 for petrol, Diesel by Rs 3 and a soaring rise for the gas by Rs.50.
Just because of this price rise, many other industry product's especially like tires, household items, vegetables etc., will also rise because the main source of moving objects to far away locations require petroleum in one way or the other.
Normally before getting out of your house you wouldn't think too much, but as of how things are going on now you would have to think a lot before getting out. This is going to be a massive blow to the middle class people and coping up to it will surely be a challenge.

I feel the raise on the petroleum prices should'nt have be done since the election are right around the corner and taking such a risk may back fire on the current government.

The least we can do is wait and watch.

RE

'Riski Experiment'

A production house's name that I came up with and will be working under from now on until I get a official working job. All digital art work and animation work solely done by me will come under the RE's name.

By the way the logo of the production house in on the top of the blog site

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones, one of the few legendary characters created, comes back into action after long 10 years gap and with the same actor, Harrison Ford, playing the same role.

About the latest installment, if you were expecting something out of the world, then I would say you would be disappointed but if you are going to watch this film just to have a good time, then you will get its money's worth. Harrison Ford, playing the famous 'Indy' in the film, acts it with sheer class and after watching this movie, I would rate him one of the classic, unforgettable actors of this time period. Shia LeBouf, playing 'Mutt Williams', also plays an awesome role in the movie and playing next to Harrison Ford would have been quite difficult and along with starring in an 'Indiana Jones' film, it must be very difficult but he shows how good an actor he is in the film. The rest of the cast weren’t quite extraordinary like these two actors. The graphics also didn’t find much role in the film and it was quite surprising to see a well shot film without much Visual Effects.
On the whole I would rate it: 3.5/5
