Plethora of Acts

Why not analyze the recent bioscopes I witnessed. For some time movie watching has become a
rare event for me. I could point out the three movies I watched during last four months so to say. These movies varied from Genre to Language. From execution to act.
I sometime wonder the thoughts and ideas which wander across the director’s mind. Let me start chronologically.Vittoria Di Sica was considered as the pioneer of Neo Realistic movies which originated from Italy. After seeing his movie ‘Bicycle Thief’ I was mesmerized by the simplicity of the movie. This time I got the chance to watch ‘The Shoeshine boys’ .Again this movie magnifies the power of simplicity which Di Sica demonstrated. It is a heart wrenching commentary of two impecunious boys' life about friendship, betrayal and moreover life. Oscar Winner Satyajit Ray was deeply inspired by Di Sica’s ways of making movies which later inspired him to make his path breaking movie Patter Panchali (The Story of road).

Then I chanced upon Buddhadev Dasgupta’s tour de force ‘Kalpurush’ (Bengali).It is a convoluted story illustrating the father-son relationship, very amicably played by National Award winner Mithun Chakraborty and Rahul Bose in lead roles.This movie typically harbors the stunning cinematography and direction.Dasgupta’s each frame has a sharp angle attached to it which sometimes reminds me of Stanley Kubrick, as how he took his shots in ‘Clockwork Orange’.

Last but categorically not the least I saw Michael Mann’s Public Enemies. Johnny Depp is one actor who in my view has never compromised on his roles and has always tried to do something very diverse. Christian Bale on the other hands is known for his enthusiasm and dedication to the roles he portrays (remember Machinist).These two combined in his brilliant controlled movie.This movie trails back to 1930’s when crime in America was rising with John Dillinger (aptly played by Depp) who was considered Public Enemy no.1.This movie also briefly shows the uprising and the formation of F.B.I.
This surmises my little roving into movie world for last four months.By the time I am finished writing this posts I saw movies like Amen and Kaminey also.So all and all it makes a quite decent package to my strong belief.

Stretched to the limits after working madly, that too with a grin on my face.
I wondered why not test my typing skills for a change, hence these piece of words.
I wonder why Micro Fictions are great piece of art. Simply and fully because I know the outcome first then I start writing it.140 words in Twitter gives it an unassailable edge.
I started following Arjun Basu who tweets resplendent Micro Fictions and then it was well carried by my friends Romit and Rohit in the twitter arena. That pushed me to think within 140 words.

As I prepare and then again prepare for buying my bike, I swing from one model to another model. Some has good looks; some take pride in mileage where some are happy to bestow you with power. Good dilemma I would say I fell into.

Then when I saw one of my dreams getting fulfilled. I was happy and then I was happiest. You know being happier how it is. o.K. now deliberately coming back to the dream, yes Copenhagen. Definitely when I saw Copenhagen was about to be performed in Rangashankara I knew I had to experience that, feel that and get immersed into that also. Definitely Michael Frayn knew what sort of Hangover audience would get, as they would continue to linger and loiter in the uncertainty principle.

As I continue Subhash is dead, how much did he achieve and what were the consequent adulations he got, I am again made to wonder. This time I do wonder.CPI(M) after losing considerable seats in Loksabha elections to Mamta and Congress Junta would consider loss of Subhash as a significant one.

Now the abstract ending i.e. Latest Ich mein itna ich milega.

It was important, like a new flower blossoming, like a new life barged in to catch the glimpse of light.Shibnath Shasthri’s book' Ramtanu Lahiri o totkalin Bongosamaj' (Ramtanu Lahiri and Contemporary Bengali society) does capture the essence of that era and is a book to read for all people who feel history defines a Civilization’s character.

As Sunil Ganguly had in his book, like an arrow which to go forward recoils back a bit, people should look back a little to move forward.
