Classics – Don’t Delete

For me a movie experience is everything – PERIOD.

I don’t remember the first one i watched, but i recon it was at a very very young age. But now a good veiwing is all i need to give me that wonderful feeling which makes me wanna sigh, exhale and shout out BEAUUUTIFULL, MIND BLOWING, ULTIMATE... that’s all i look for.

I have my own way of categorizing or say rating the movies i watched.
1.Classic
2.Good
3.Crap

1. Classic
A movie which pushes limits, which gives me that wonderful feeling, a feeling better than delicious hot food when i’m starved, a smile that appears wen i see a loved one, an opening which prods me to express my feelings like i’m in the privacy of my home- ALONE. That’s a classic for me. The one’s a put in a folder for later re-Viewing.

2. Good
For a movie to qualify as – GOOD, is not so difficult a task, nevertheless not too easy either, all they need is to have talent. For me if the movie is something that’s never bin done or seen before, else if it’s done or seen before but the way it’s presented is superbly refreshing ELSEEE if neither of this is done still it does a small something to impress u (can’t be specific here) THEN IT”S A GOOD MOVIE. The difference between a good and a classic here is, i sit and think after the movie to determine if the movie is a good one or not. Whereas in case of classic it’s already awarded to it by the time the movie reaches it’s climax.


3. Crap
Movie which don’t fall in either of the above categories, movies which make u wonder how much money the producer’s have to throw around, movies which on reading it’s reviews which give u a breif idea about how it’s script looked like and makes u wonder what did the director and cast see in this crap plot which gave them the confidence to go ahead and throw their reputations off the building, these are the kind of movies which run on HYPE rather than talent, these are the movies which if someone says that they liked it – u stop speaking to them about movies ever ever again. I Hope u got the point.

Examples

1. Classics – 12 ANGRY MEN, Godfather, Bourne Ultimatum, DEV D, Swades, Closer, Good will Hunting, Fight Club, A walk to remember, into the wild, Schindler’s list, many of Big B’s Classics, TLOR etc etc

2. Good Movies – Dark knight, the hunting party, August Rush, JWM, Death @ a funeral, 3:10 to yuma, Gone Baby Gone, Seven, Dead Poet’s Society, etc etc

3. Crap – All “SHIFT + DELEted” ones

P.S : For all DARK KNIGHT fans, it’s not by error that it lies in the GOOD category, nor is it put on par with the other movies listed in that or any other movie category. Claiming that the movie is a classic is unacceptable just because of the simple fact that if u remove the HYPE that blinds the viewer’s u can see the numerous flaws that show up every now and then. It has it’s share of powerful performances (read as ONLY HEATH LEDGER) no doubt but it fails on some front’s. Greatest Comic Book Movie u say?? True, but easily beatable.

Changed !!!

"U know what?"

"What?"

"U've changed!! U weren't like this before."

 

These are the words i hate the most. Not particularly from a single person but it's just that i've heard it from so many of em over a period of time that i cringe every time i see it coming. Practicallly how difficult is it to understand that the very quintessential trait of a normal human being is to evolve to change. I'm not trying to be philosophical here to to preach nonsense to you it's just that i hate it when people say things like "U've changed" or "ur not the same anymore".

 

Look within ppl :

                                Are you the same person u were 2 yrs ago or for that matter – are u even the same person u were an hour ago?? If ur answer to that question is a YES then there , we both know that it's not the truth. Sit back and think of every decision u've made in the past, think if an opportunity like that comes back again wud u react it the same way u did back den?? If yes, den wud it really be for the same reason?? If yes den isn't there something new that supports the same reason that u were never exposed to back den??? Think.. think..

 

Whenever u enconter a new aspect in a person u love or are close to that u weren't expecting off him/ Her den don't resort to a knee jerk reaction of pointin ur FORE FINGER @ his/ her face claiming that he's changed. The fact is that:-  indeed he has changed or may be u have changed to the extent that u'd scrutinise his every word and look to unearth the meaning between his lines. Maybe he always  MEANT to do that but u weren't CHANGED enuf to look or to care enuf abt it or MAYBE all of this is just a fiction of either of ur stressed out brain seeking attention by inducing a sad guilt feeeling in other's mind.

 

U Can't be STATIC:

                                Wen i say the above it just applies to every human being's every single aspect. When things don't change u get bored of stuff. U always are in search of something new, something exciting or more than anything something NOT THE SAME stuff that u've been doing or have already done. If that was the case u'd never graduate from drinking ur mother's milk and roaming about wetting ur diaper's. It's just in our nature to grow to change. 

 

BY CHANgE:

                By Change i don't mean to understand the ppl who go ballistic over the taste of a PINT of success, i loath such ppl. Anything drastic that's completely unnecessary is something that i hate. I also hate ppl who try to act what they are not in real, mostly ppl who show that they are still the same ol person and not changed a bit from being their "OWN SWEET USUAL SELF".

 

 

DON't:

Laugh @ things that don't seem funnny to u, just to keep the person in front happy. By doing that ur just reducing the national average of a FUNNY PERSON.

               

Hate or follow a person just cause he's different and so visibly & loud.

 

                Put on a facade. If you lack the complexity to render a COMPLEX thought then accept the fact and resort to simpler things that u connect with, don't jus head bang if u don't feel like it. Undersand and accept urself completely before u move outta ur house everyday.

 

That's it for today.. Bbyee
