Well, it was 10 seconds past six in the morning as I just finished watching Sin City on ma Vaio.
I've been kind of shivering since then.You know, I've watched such a great number of amazing movies over the years and on varied subjects too but this one was different, absolutely fresh.Ha, nopz this ain't gonna be no movie review if that's what you have begun to wonder it was gonna be.
This is no place for movie reviews.Also there are zillions of sites dedicated for the above task so why won't I go there and pen down a few ideas with words of appreciation for ma favourite movie and stars.That's why I said that this wasn't gonna be a movie review, though I bet I won't be able to look away from the movie subject and the maker at anytime since that's what brought me back to blogging after almost two years gap while wondering to return a couple of times and hoping to become a dedicated one periodically.Specially after regularly hearing and reading about everyone becoming one these days with the likes of Shashi Tharoor and numerous celebrities though they don't exactly blog but tweet...
Anyways returning to the main topic, first of all I'll admit that I am totally overwhelmed, awed and astonished as I just completed watching it.The base topic that has been chosen is itself centuries old but the treatment's been absolutely fresh.The entire story is basically divided into three segments; each independent of remaining.As the movie begins, you fail to fully connect to what's been going on and feel like a psychopath made the movie and that is what movie is all about, but as the movie begins to unfold you tend to realize what it actually means to exhibit.One thing that's common in all three parts is the feeling of love (actually respect would be a better word) and caring attitude the maker has for women, irrespective of who she may be and whatever may her job be..You know, it's a jungle out there not everyone is equally concerned for anyone or for that purpose bothered about doin what actually is correct. But a man gotta do what he gotta do irrespective of what others have been doin. And that is what makes the movie click.
Well, all of us love the idea of doin noble things and being famous (or at least appreciated) for that but how many are actually comfortable of doin something really good but suffering themselves for that noble deed of theirs and especially if you were to suffer for infinity.Answered honestly will give you the idea what the maker has attempted to do.He shows three men in different circumstances doin something greatly virtuous and magnificent only to risk their lives and lose it eventually.Hey, if you think only men could do it, think again..Well, he also shows few very fine women exhibiting the same grand morality and not buckling under the risks involved. All in all, the movie can be viewed under several viewpoints and you may well choose whatever be convenient for yourself.But as far as my opinion goes, I'll say that it attempts to show that no matter how cruel the world is, there would always be good men and more importantly that even not all bad men are entirely evil. I mean, just as represented by the first and second plots, there may be a criminal doin a cop's job (and vice-versa true too) and still not wishing to get any rewards or recognition for it.Like I said, a man gotta do what he gotta do.
So, the verdict according to me is, do what is right instead of bothering what your neighbour/colleague/friend/partner may be doin.It may not make a hell lot of difference to the world but it's your opinion of yourself that counts at the end of the day, not what the world or others think of yourself.
You know, many years back I read this quote somewhere, Care For The Character and Not The Reputation. The difference between the two was explained as well. And it said, "character is what you think of yourself while one's reputation is what other people think of you". Everybody knows that we can cheat anyone and everyone but ourselves. So you get the drift.
