Intense

I chose an intense movie on a wrong day and this blog entry is the result of it! . Today my daughter left to India and she is away from me for the first time after 20 months. And after almost 30 minutes I bid bye to my wife and kid I started missing her on the way back home in the bus. Although it might seem a bit exaggerated honestly its not.

Within a few hours after separation I wrongly chose to see the movie Nandhalala :). The intensity of the emotions in the movie coupled with the loneliness/separation in my mind made me weep. And it’s after a long time I am weeping seeing a modern movie. Let me count how many of them made my weep… Vietnam Veedu tops the list followed by Ethir Neechal and anbe sivam and of course Black and now Nandhalala!!

I have always liked and engaged in movies that portray human emotions. And this movie was one such with a classy screenplay and scintillating performances from the director/hero and the boy. Although the movie derives inspiration from other movies its still a classy creation. It’s far from just saying that it’s a copycat movie.

Contradictions are a part of all our life. And it’s the contradictions that make us change our opinions. Although the human life is considered the most fortunate of the creations it’s a misnomer. To me many times I feel that to be born as a human being is the worst of karma(n). {Mruthyoma amurthamgamaya}

Sufferings are more cruel when you experience them in the mind than in the body. That’s why sometimes Man decides to commit suicide when emotions are running high. The physical pain can sometimes be handled by the mind but the mental agony/suffering is very tough to handle, and needs enormous will power and maturity to overcome.

On the lighter side,

Expectations/Ambitions are quite human and stand as a motivation to drive life. However when they are defeated its very tough to compromise and reconcile. If you have seen both the ends of it, it’s equivocal and easy to laugh at. But if we only see the high, the low is suffocating.

Contradictions, Sufferings and Expectations are the three facets of this movie (to me) and each of these are conveyed In a intense(emotion) fashion. If you can handle the mood please watch the movie!
