THE HATER

The Hater (2020)

Director : Jan Komasa
Starring: Maciej Musiałowski, Vanessa Aleksander, Agata Kulesza, Danuta Stenka


This is one movie that resembles the current political unrest created by the influence of social media globally. The movie is about a young fellow who gets thrown out of his law college for plagiarising his assignment. His uncle and aunt who fund his education constantly look down upon him and treat him as their inferior. This internally creates a lot of disturbance in him and he plans to avenge them soon. He joins a company that runs negative and positive campaigns for certain individuals as per the request of their clients through Social Media. As he learns the technicalities of such campaigns, he also uses social media as a platform for spreading fake news and hate-mongering. This results in devastating consequences. Coincidentally and unfortunately, three weeks after the movie got wrapped up, the mayor of Gdansk, a city in Poland was stabbed by a mob during an event and was killed. He was also a target for a large number of online trolls.


ஒரு நாட்டின் அரசியல் சூழலை, தகவல் தொழில்நுப்டமும் , சமூக வலைத்தளங்களும் எந்த அளவு தீர்மானிக்கின்றன என்பதை பிரதிபலிக்கும் திரைப்படம் இது. ஒரு பணக்கார குடும்பத்தால் புறக்கணிக்கப்பட்டு , அவமானதிற்கு உள்ளாகிற இளைஞன் ஒருவன் , போலந்தில் உள்ள ஒரு நிறுவனத்தில் சமூக வலைதள நிபுணராக பணிக்கு சேர்கிறான். தேர்தலில் வெற்றி பெற விரும்பும் ஒரு அரசியல்வாதிக்காக சமூக வலைதள பிரிச்சாரங்களை உருவாக்குவது இந்த இளைஞனின் வேலை. நாட்கள் செல்ல செல்ல தன் கையில் உள்ள அந்த தொழில்நுட்ப ஆயுதத்தை சில ஆபத்தான விஷயங்களுக்கு அந்த இளைஞன் பயன்படுத்த தொடங்குகிறான். அதன் விளைவு என்ன என்பதை படத்தின் முடிவு சொல்கிறது. இதில் உள்ள ஒரு வினோதமான நிகழ்வு என்னவென்றால் , இதன் படப்பிடிப்பு நிறைவுபெற்ற மூன்று வாரங்களுக்கு பிறகு போலந்தின் டான்ஸ்க் என்ற நகரின் மேயர் சில மர்ம நபர்களால் குத்தி கொல்லப்பட்டார். இதற்கு முன் பல நாட்களாக அவரை சமூக வலைதளங்களில் மக்கள் கடுமையாக விமர்சித்து வந்தது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

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...
