The Tree of Life




Terence Mallick's The Tree of Life is not for the regular cinema goer. Its a montage of artistically shot images: Earth, fire, water and the basic units of life encapsulated in the garb of the unknown 'the universe'. Its abstract. The dailogues are minimal but emoted with elance by the central characters. Palm deOr is for been bold and different - it talks about how god creates, human inherits and does not let go.
The God then takes it back and the human is left with remorse.

On an average 10 people would leave the theater in the first 15 minutes. Wonder how soon the movie leaves the theatre.

The viewer would pre-empt it to be 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but somehow it supersedes '28 Weeks Later' or 'Halloween' with subtle ode to the yesteryears. Rave reviews are out after first screening of Avenger for Joss, documentarian of Comic-C...

X-Men First Class

X-Men:First Class seamlessly integrates a power packed script (events in history,bromance- Chris McAvoy and Michael Fassbender steal the show,longing - Jennifer Lawrence is beyond 'the Winter's bone',self-realisation,revenge ,altruism) , deft direction (the lead characters exude potrayals vividly under the helm of special effects that are not overdone) and intricate art direction (instills the reality of the scenes). What makes it even more realistic is that you start emphatizing with the debate of good versus bad. Soon you forget that the special powers of mutants is a remote possibilty.
