Avatar (2009)
Best movie of the decade
Avatar is the story of Jake Sully, a paraplegic marine, who replaces his brother on a secret mission to infiltrate the Na' vi, the colony of beings that sit on the planet of Pandora, where there is a precious ore, that sells at a ridiculous amount.
Then he came to know about the real CRUEL intention of his employers. Meantime he falls in love with the beautiful Princess "Neytri".
When Jake learns the ways of the Na'Avi, his feelings and learnings will put him and the people he trusts in danger.
Then it is the royal battle between Na'Avi and Aliens (Humans)
The main Plus point of this movie is that the complex story being told in the simplest manner.
This movie is of great relevance at a time when earth's own natural wealth's are at stake and world leaders are sweating over the Ozone layer and CO2 emissions
Now let me tell some of the Positives from this near perfect movie:
1)The stunning visuals from start to finish 2)Commendable performances from the star cast (don't expect any Oscars) 3)Super art direction. The Planet Pandora was just awesome. Once the movie got over, it took a while for me to realize that I am not in Pandora
4)The 3-d effects were amazing. At some point I moved my head thinking that a broken stone was coming towards my face. 5)Last but not the least, the script is the real hero here. The fantasies are mixed in correct proportion with many edge-of –the- seat scenes. It did not lag at all.
I did not get the time to check for any flaws in this movie, as I was totally involved in the proceedings.
Verdict: A must watch
Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja (2009)
A True Master Piece
Here is my take on the Most Awaited Malayalam Movie till date:
I went to the theater with a lot of expectations.The magical trio of MT-Hariharan-Mammootty is working together after a span of 2 decades. Oscar Winner Resul Pookutty, Ace Stuntman Revi Dewan, 6 time National award winner Sreekar Parasad, Legendary Musician Ilayaraja and ONV among the title card.My expectations grew again.. And to my pleasant surprise, the movie passed the expectation barrier with a distinction.
About the movie- It is a tiny piece from the Indian History... The East India Company is imposing huge taxes on the common people. They have got many small greedy kings with them. But there are some others like Pazhasi Raja, who decides to fight with them with the small manpower which they have. Here Pazhassi Raja is taking on a Gorilla was against the British with the help of tribal soldiers whose leader is Thalakkal Chanthu.. British Governor then signs a peace treaty with Pazhassi because of the setbacks...But they fails to follow the treaty and this angers Pazhassi. Then he decides to restart his war against them.. Pazhasiyude Sainyathile Pramukharudeyellam Thalakku Britishukar Vila Idunnu...How long can they fight against the mighty British Army???? this is the story in a nutshell... Performances- Mammootty has got a meaty role after a long gap and he did it with ease. He once again proved that nobody can beat him in Dialogue delivery. Sarathkumar has done a very good job, especially in the action scenes. His muscles are cool Manoj K Jayan has got a role of his life time, on par with Sargam. Padmapriya as Neeli(Manoj's fiancé) resembles Vijayasanti in the action sequences. Her break down scene was the best piece of acting in this whole movie Kaniha was cute as Kaitheri Makkam. She did a commendable job. All others from Suman, Devan, Jagathi, Suresh Krishna,Thilakan, Captain Raju, Mamukkoya, Jagadeesh etc...did their parts well. After a long gap, I have seen a casting based on actors, not STARS.
My Favourite scene-
Spoiler: Thooki Kollan Povumbol Devan Makanodu "Ninaku Pedi Undo??" Makan " Illa acha" Devan "Pedikkaruthu, Nammal Pedichal Athu Ivarude Vijayam Aavum"
Direction and technical departments: Hariharan has done it again. He will get all the main awards next summer...period. He lifted the benchmark for classics once again. Age is not a barrier for quality script, MT has proved it once again. S N Swamy and co should take a leaf from it. Action scenes were the best in Malayalam. Editing and Photography were world class. Music was on par with Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha Lyrics were meaningful, unlike OSAMA and Bootham kind of craps. I am not gonna list the positives from the movie as it is almost the entire movie apart from 3-4 scenes.
Negatives- 2 fight scenes by Mammooka (Misusing the ropes)..other than that it is a perfect movie
Last but not the least. It is a true story, so we should not expect Pazhasi to kill all the British people and Free India from the British. I heard some comments like that.
Verdict- Another masterpiece from the master of masterpieces
