So Many Movies!

-

 So while I was on this awesome and huge 2 month holiday, I had a lot of time to sit around and do anything, so to stay entertained, I started watching movies.

And I did. A lot of them.

So actually I planned on watching only a few movies, and then these few movies gave me some ideas for getting through the block I had created for myself whilst writing a book, so for the sake of it, I started watching more movies.

And I’ve got a lot to say about the movies I’ve watched. I realized that the movies with the most different and unique concepts were the ones rated the lowest on IMDb. On the other hand, the movies which followed a consistent format of any film category got an average rating. The most shocking part was when I saw a movie which was completely trash had 8 or 9 points in IMDb. 

I also learnt about how picky and dumb the maturity ratings are, for some films which were 16+ were only rated so due to violence, it was only after watching them that I realized that the movie was good, and the violence wasn’t even that much, to be honest. Almost anyone above the age of 12 can easily go through the movie.

Sometimes the reason for a 16+ rating wasn’t given, I’d still watch for the sake of curiosity, then I’d realize that the concept was so groundbreaking that they gave it a high maturity rating so it’s easy for the average audience to understand. Why be scared though.

And Kevin Hart is a great actor, bro decides to be himself in every movie and somehow also ends up doing really good acting.

Most of the movies I watched were 13+, but after they got over, my craving was still left, so I had to pick some 16+ titles (it doesn’t matter, i’m gonna be 16 this year anyways) which didn’t have much profanity and were fine to watch, and I gotta say, they were some really good ones.

Another thing I’ve noticed is it’s fine for anyone to watch movies with language as long as the young audience is mature enough to understand that it isn’t practical to use that kind of language in daily life. This is how I was able to enjoy some good titles.

Anyhow, seems like this is how I gotta end it! Oh, before I forget, these are all the movies I watched :-

The Paradox Of Dhurandhar

-
So, I've finally watched Dhurandhar. Let's review it. This movie is still leading it's 1000 crore+ run in the box office, the media, the Bollywood industry and the average moviegoer crowd. But there are things that need to be talked about because when the crowd finds a good, theatre-worthy movie - a lot of aspects are overseen. I'll start by saying that this is a great movie, with a lot of effort put into it - be it the music, writing, CGI & VFX, acting. Every actor played their part to the fullest and did justice to the role. It's even harder considering the movie tries to base itself on sources to convey a true story through theatrical effects - and it does work out really well. The movie invigorates a feeling of injustice, agony, helplessness and rage among every Indian.  After all, Patriotism is its own genre in Indian Cinema. But that also seemed to be the biggest problem for me in this movie. The movie did fall flat in particular areas in terms of pacing a...

O' Romeo - About The Animalification Of Movies

-
In this world I live in, it's dangerous to state I'm a fan of Sandeep Reddy Vanga - the man who directed "Animal", and it's justified, to be honest. Because you never know how much may a movie impact someone, but lately we've been seeing how it impacts other movies. O' Romeo, the latest installment of a Vishal Bhardwaj film. The reason I went for the movie is because he's the most praised as a director, known for his slow but steady storytelling, his cinematography, soundtrack and direction - And I went in with an optimistic mindset, but it was a crazy experience to find out all I could draw out was a parallel - a parallel between other movies that've tried to imitate elements of the "Animal" film with overtly bloody violence, toxic "masculinity" and foul language - which the director justifies as it's with the same frequency people in this generation use in their daily lives. Which I'd consider valid too, but I wonder i...

Artificial Intimacy

-
The inspiration for this blog started from an advertisement I saw for a new product from a company known as "orchid.ai", the advertisement went something like this :- The startup Orchid introduced its personal assistant with a now-viral video, following a woman whose partner has forgotten their anniversary. After she tells Orchid what happened, the assistant contacts him, books a dinner reservation, arranges a flower delivery, and keeps her updated on his progress. At the end, the video poses a perfect make-up anniversary date. Ideally, you'd expect it to be a feel-good video, but there's a huge discomfort you feel when you try to interpret the impact of the ad, and what it tries to imitate and replace. Firstly, the ad shows the AI Agent responding in a way how you'd expect a close friend of your age to ideally respond - with those extra letters, sarcasm, exclamations, etc. Eventually making you feel the need to discuss everything with it. Instead of perhaps, revi...
