Gisaengchung (2019)
Parasite redefining the 'diversity' debate.
If Parasite would have come 5-6 years ago, it would have walked out of the Dolby Theater with just a single win in the foreign category and it would have burned my heart. I mean if you can't go beyond that cliched appreciation (of the best foreign-language film), despite touching such high artistic note of story-telling. And that too, just because of a mild language barrier and the politically driven format of Academy and other award shows, as a matter of fact.
October (2018)
A Scenic Masterpiece
A Scenic Masterpiece by Shoojit Sircar. Certainly his best creation till date.
The Movie talks about subtle aspects of life via a unique bond between a childish boy, Danish and a limped girl Shiuli.
The chemistry between writer-director duo sets the tone for a realistic demonstration of love.
Mr. Robot: shutdown -r (2017)
Incredibly crafted to leave everybody with a teasing end.
This Season Finale was as pleasingly as calming as aggressively moving the starting of the was. Everyone got some sort of closure, to move along with their life, yet the post-tragedy trauma was visibly printed on everyone's face.
From cinematography to background score, from acting to direction everything was synchronous with the events of fictitiously encrypted world of Mr. Robot.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Thor: Ragnarok
Where should I start? The progression of his character is downright amazing. Backed up by the Immigrant Song, he is introduced in the beginning as a glorified martyr with a signature weapon and soon after, forced to step out of his stereotypical hero-shoes and we finally get to see a redeemed version: cropped hair (his only physical source of dignity lost), permanently outgrowing the influence of Mjolnir and definitely more Odin-like (you know what I mean), charging into the battle with ginormous crackling electricity surging through his entire form, truly living up to the God of Thunder. Now that's a sight you don't want to miss and by the closing credits, you're already going to catch yourself consistently humming the song that has now become your personal Thor anthem, hah!
Mindhunter (2017)
Not like those other Detective Shows
It just went to the roots of Serial killers. It describes how a behavioral science unit of FBI tries to understand the psychology of these serial killers. Focusing on stopping the crime, rather than criminal. Not like those other Detective Shows, it's more sensible.
It justifies the determination of FBI to eliminate a specified crime by understanding why people do that. Along with some beautiful cinematography and cynical debates about where our society is headed.
If that doesn't motivate you, consider this: David Fincher is back on Netflix after House of Cards (first two episode of Netflix, which shaped the current standings of Netflix)
Newton (2017)
Newton: India's Oscar Nod
It was the most stubborn movie of Rajkummar Rao, even more fragile than Trapped. He is an actor of rare talent. I am not only talking about his acting but his movie choices, that reflects his career. He got this disturbing clarity of thoughts about his movies. If Nawazuddin Siddiqui is Daniel Day-Lewis of India then Rajkummar Rao is Sean Penn of India. And what can one say about the supporting cast? Pankaj Tripathi is as charming as always and Raghubir Yadav is still effortless. In fact, it's eighth Raghubir Yadav movie to be shortlisted for India's Oscar entry.
The way Amit Masurkar presented this movie, reminded me of The Lunchbox. A movie deprived of its credit of being nominated for Oscars in 2014 by Gyan Correa's The Good Road. In the following days of the announcement, The Lunchbox filmmakers, local and international press and other pundits have decried the choice.
The Godfather (1972)
A culpable masterpiece from the Master
This is one of those films that made me wonder why I hadn't seen it earlier. The acting from every cast member is standalone, Marlon Brando comes across perfectly as the head of the family and carries the power a mafia head should possess. James Caan and Al Pacino are excellent as his sons, with polar ideology but equivalent love for the family. The soundtrack by Nino Rota is also very memorable, bringing back memories of the film every time you hear it. The plot has to be excellent for it to get a Metascore of 100 and it is. It was one of the movies which defined the crime genre or to say the gangster genre.
The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy, based on Mario Puzo's best- selling novel of the same name. The story, spanning 1945 to 1955, chronicles the family under the patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando), focusing on the transformation of Michael Corleone (Pacino) from reluctant family outsider to a ruthless mafia boss.
Trois couleurs: Rouge (1994)
100 Metascore justifies the depth of this tale.
The last entry in Krysztoff Kieszlowski's Three Colors Trilogy and apparently last movie of his career, unsurfaced all the elements of fate and apparent coincidence which led to the meeting of a young Genevese model and a retired judge (with a habit of prying into other people's lives).
RED is so devoid of a linear, elucidated plot that anything could happen to any of these people and the possibilities that this story could have veered off in so many directions had one crucial element not taken place at the exact moment and place. This movie is so beautiful and transcendent, and so reassuring at the same time that you really want to stick to it.
Game of Thrones: The Dragon and the Wolf (2017)
GOT- Disheartened
The world of Westeros was once cruel, messy, and faithfully unpredictable. But somewhere with the urgency of wrapping up the series in 13 episodes(season 7 & 8), they lost the track of being malignant. Now it feels relentlessly safe.
With an epic turnaround in the latest episode "Beyond the Wall", one question which pops up in everyone's mind is that "Was it worth it for The King in the North to go beyond the wall, so unprepared, just to collect a proof for Cersei(Murderer of his father, Ned Stark)?" Or to say, gift a dragon to the dead army?
Tyrion seems helpless, no key character dies, and a clichéd tale of destined love.
