MOVIE REVIEW-CHANGELING

Changeling (2008)
Starring: Angelina Jolie
Director: Clint Eastwood

An emotional and moving story of a single mother whose only child goes missing and her journey towards finding him holding on to the only thing she has- HOPE. This is based on true incidents that were a part of the 1926 Wineville Chicken Coop Murders and also shows the level of corruption and cover-up stunts the LAPD cops did in order to preserve the reputation of their department in this case. We can all, in the end, agree on one point- Jolie is cut out for this role.

கணவன் உடன் இல்லாத நிலையில் தனக்கென்று இருக்கும் ஒரே மகன் மீது அளவு கடந்த அன்பும் அக்கறையும் கொண்ட ஒரு தாய். அமைதியான தன் வாழ்வில் பேரிடி இறங்கியது போல , தனக்கு எல்லாமாக இருந்த மகன் காணாமல் போய்விடுகிறான் . பதைபதைத்து போய் லாஸ் அஞ்சேலெஸ் காவல் துறையிடம் புகார் தெரிவிக்கிறாள். அன்று அரம்பமாகிறது அவளின் உச்சக்கட்ட வாழ்க்கை போராட்டம். இறுதியில் தாயும் மகனும் ஒன்று சேர்கிறார்களா என்பதை படம் விறுவிறுப்புடன் கூறுகிறது . 1926ல் நடந்த வைன்வில் கோழிப்பண்ணை கொலைகளை சார்ந்த உண்மை கதையை தழுவிய படம்.ஏஞ்செலீனாவை தவிர வேறு ஒருவர் இந்த கதாபாத்திரத்தை இவ்வளவு சிறப்பாக ஏற்று நடித்திருக்க முடியாது .

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined. All of Modigliani's works were the manifestation of his own emotions and experiences. This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...

Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...
