MOVIE REVIEW- MAUDIE




Maudie (2016)
Director: Aisling Walsh
Starring: Sally Hawkins, Ethan Hawke

This movie is based on the lives of two elderly couples Maudie and Everett who lived in Canada in the 1930s. Maudie was an arthritic woman who faced suffering and loss at a very young age. She could not live a peaceful life with her caretakers, her brother and her aunt. Hence one day, she decides to leave for good and create a normal life for herself. That's when she meets Everette, a fish peddler and takes care of his household chores for decent pay. However, things keep taking turn for worse and better when Maudie and Everette start living together. The movie shows how such an ordinary woman came out to reveal her extraordinary hidden artistic talent to the world and how her artworks were celebrated by the people in and around her community. Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke have given their best performances in this movie.

கனடாவில் 1930களில் வாழ்ந்த தம்பதியினரின் வாழ்க்கையை மய்யமாக கொண்ட திரைப்படம். Maudie என்ற பெண்மணி இளம் வயதிலேயே முடக்குவாதம் என்ற நோயினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டு , வாழ்க்கையில் எதிர்பாராத துன்பங்களை சந்தித்து விடுகிறார். தன் சகோதரனும் , அத்தையும் தன்னை கவனித்து கொள்வதில் , அலட்சியமும் , வெறுப்பும் அதிகம் வெளிப்படுத்துவதை உணர்ந்து , எல்லோரைப்போல தனக்கும் ஒரு சாதாரண வாழ்க்கையை அமைத்து கொள்ளவிடெண்டும் என்ற எண்ணத்தில் வீட்டை விட்டு வெளியேறுகிறார் . அடைக்கலத்திற்காக Everette என்கிற மீன் வியாபாரியின் வீட்டில் வேலை செய்ய தொடங்குகிறார் .அன்றிலிருந்து எதிர்பாராத திருப்பங்கள் மற்றும் அனுபவங்கள் நிறைந்ததாய் இருவரின் வாழ்க்கை பயணம் தொடர்கிறது.ஒரு நோயுற்ற பெண்மணியாக இருந்த அவர் , தனக்குள் இருந்த ஓவிய திறமையை வெளிக்கொணர்ந்து புகழடைந்தது எப்படி? என்று அழகாக சொல்லும் திரைப்படம் இது. சாலி ஹாக்கின்ஸ் மற்றும் ஈத்தன் ஹாக்கின் நடிப்பு நிச்சயம் பாராட்டப்பட வேண்டியவை.

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...

MAESTRO'S MARVELS

Da Vinci - The multi-faceted polymath who has been the greatest inspiration for people for aeons. The admirable quality that I found in this Genius is the fearlessness that enabled him to explore and gain expertise in various areas exhaustively. He created the intellectual freedom for everyone to feel empowered to create a society of free thinkers, express without inhibitions and feel confident about choosing the mode of expression in a non-judgmental way.  "I am not good at this thing" is a statement I hear every now and then from my students in class. Some of them would say this spontaneously even without trying out that particular engagement. I had to really push them to give it a go, provide them examples of similar work, share my experiences or give them the comfort to practice by practising along with them. Leonardo never seemed to have this midblock and was very open to being experimental with his thoughts. Sometimes I had even taken the maestro's paintings, r...

DARK AND PUNY

           This is the story of a girl who had the same kind of life as mine except that she is "big" and I am "small". An inferiority complex is a very dangerous and irrevocable impression that can be created by parents on their children. There are certain inconsiderate opinions and treatments that affect those children and become their lifelong baggage to be carried.  Skin colour, facial features, and size are the factors involved. To rub salt in the wound, there are abrasive reminders every single day about the disappointments of the child.          There is no about the maternal and paternal love but how deep is it in comparison to the other things that they are fond of or if there is another kid born with all their expectations gratified, then the former one becomes the tester cake or the sidekick. We've all been on that boat when sibling rivalry takes its toll on our emotions.      ...
