Movie Mania

Now that's two movies in two days. And good movies in fact. Contrary to my previous post, I do intend to watch more in the coming days. I do realize the timing is not apt, with the minors approaching, assignments getting piled up, but some movies have a certain essence to them. And they are sometimes worth the risk.

City of God was a good movie. Not one to be watched alone, but the entire story drew no comparison with what I have grown with. Perhaps this is precisely the reason why I couldnt find more meaning and charm in it. But for an entertainer, it sure beats many others! The way the story was structured, the daunting introduction of characters, the anticipation it all builds up, the movie was a sure shot dollar bill.

Did you realize that everyone Rocket meets in his life, inevitably ends up dying, with the exception of Angelica perhaps, whose fate I couldn't gather. Point to ponder.....

The movie I saw today was Being There. If you think you are knowledgeable, think again. Nothing is what it seems like. Getting serious? Don't. It is a prodigious satire on our common social laws. To be confined by the fear of unknown, and what could happen if someone had that fear removed from him. Such a peaceful movie.

Chauncy Gardiner, well acted.

Downloading The Graduate right now. I've seen Tootsie, and am already a fan of Dustin Hoffman. Lets see the magic he has conjured in these 700MB.

Good night!

PS: Was supposed to complete Digital Electronics today. After this movie perhaps :)
