MOVIE REVIEW- A TIME TO KILL

A Time to Kill

Director: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey.
John Grisham is a wonderful writer. Those who have read "A Painted House" would tell. This movie is the adaptation of his novel of the same name. A gripping tale filled with intense courtroom drama. This would remind you of the classic "To Kill a Mockingbird". A young coloured girl gets brutally raped by 2 white heartless supremacists. Losing trust in the law, the father of the poor girl kills therapists. He now approaches a friendly white lawyer to help him get out of the case so that he can be reunited with his family and lead a peaceful life. The movie has an extraordinary climax that'll tell you the rest of the story.

"Time to Kill" என்ற அவருடைய மற்றோரு புத்தகத்தை சார்ந்து எடுக்கப்பட்ட படம் தான் இது. சிறுபான்மை கறுப்பின சமூகத்தை சார்ந்த ஒரு இளம்பெண்ணை 2 வெள்ளை இனத்தை சேர்ந்த ஆதிக்க வெறியர்களால் கொடூரமாக கற்பழிக்கப்படுகிறாள்.பாதி உயிருடன் போராடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் அந்த இளம் பெண்ணின் தந்தை , சட்டத்தை நம்புவது வீண் என்று முடிவெடுத்து, தவறு செய்த அந்த இருவரையும் சுட்டுக் கொன்று விடுகிறார். இறுதியில் தனக்கு முன்பே பரிட்சயப்பட்ட ஒரு வெள்ளை இனத்தை சேர்ந்த வழக்கறிஞரின் உதவியை நாடுகிறார். விறுவிறுப்பிற்கு பஞ்சமில்லாத நீதிமன்ற வாதங்களுடன் மனதை பிழியும் காட்சிகளுடன் அருமையான கருத்துடன் முடிகிறது படம்.

ALL FOR NOTHING

A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course. Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told. But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...

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...
