Black Adam (2022)
DC's quirky character, Massive Budget, Charming Actor, Talented Director!
Seems like after a long decade, DC cinematic universe stabilized storyline wise. They're starting to get idea what exactly works in these Hero vs. Villain battles and Movie BLACK ADAM is definitely their one of fine product!
Main protagonist played by Irresistible charmer Dwayne Johnson. From outsiders, you could think that this is the movie's best-selling point, but believe me, there is a lot to unpack here. Like lots of enjoyable action sequences with little to rest, a folk tale which gets more twist as the movie progress, Jokes that actually works with tone, Subtle Characterization, etc. Action Director Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-Stop, The Shallows, Jungle Cruise) did marvelous job here too.
Honestly (Tell me if you are also), I am getting tired of long running-never ending climax battles. Tons of fights are here, yet they don't stay their Over-Welcome, even last battle. This time it's about saving an ancient old city, culture, and people's beliefs.
Maybe For this kind of movie "Popcorn Movie" word invented. Not masterpiece yet WORTH theater experience!
Garm Hava (1974)
Old wounds
I don't remember any movie that took place in Post-Independence in India, breaks my heart n even fill it with proud at the same time. Very few films has kind of power...
At heart of the film, Balaraj Sahni's great performance as an honest Muslim middle class man, who own little shoemaker factory in Agra, trying resist people n politics's pressure that keep indicates him to flee Pakistan. In those hard times when the Indian government forced him to give up Ancestors home. Rejected by banks and Moneylenders for a loan, worst of all, accused of being spy. I was thinking how much time an honest man could stay in this intolerance political Environment?! Other actors done their job very well, it's felt like director set cameras around normal people's life.
One other thing I like about this Urdu movie that It's bittersweet Dialogues (Usually I dont care abt it much). Some satire lines r so funny n heart breaking at the same time.
The movie is great because there r many great moments, like When mother refused to go away so Salim lift her to leave the house. It's hard to watch how Salim's big family left him one by one and immigrate Pakistan!
_Garm hava_ possibly most thought provoking movie abt that era. I could think of a reason why this movie is so controversial n why it has a limited release! It is an important movie to remind us our mistakes! 45 years have passed yet it's topic is still relevant! Must watch 4 all Cinema goers!!
