Philosphical view or what?

Got this from an unmentionable web site.

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What is that, a bonus?

I think the cycle is all backwards. You should die first. Get it out of the way. Then live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young. You get a gold watch and you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs and alcohol. You party. You get ready for High School. You go to grade school and become a kid. You play. You have no responsibilities. You become a baby. You go into the womb. You spend your last nine months floating...you finish off as an orgasm."

Is this philosophy or a joke? I leave it for you to decide..!!

Random Thoughts

I once told my friend (who's a girl) that I don't like girls who don't wear dupatta. (This is something which I don't tell everyone). She appreciated my thought and since then she started wearing dupatta even if I had no chance to see her. However, when things turned a bit sour between us, she deliberately walked around without dupatta, causing more anguish and hurt in my heart. Oddly enough, she told one of our common friends (again a girl, that doesn't know my opinion about dupatta) that she did this (no dupatta thing) just to hurt me.

This is just a small thing, yeah, I know. Wearing a dupatta or not is a woman's full freedom. I don't have a problem with that. But, knowing pretty well that the other person gets hurt because of our actions and still doing it willfully.... what's the deal with that?

"தெரியாம கூட செஞ்சுடாதே... எனக்கு ரொம்ப வலிக்கும் "-னு சொன்ன பிறகும் வேண்டுமென்றே அதையே செய்து காயப் படுத்துபவர்களை என்ன செய்வது?

Moral of the Story :

Its better that a person doesn't reveal himself/herself completely to others, especially their closest ones like lover, wife, husband, dear friends etc. The more the person confides, the other person gets to know the weakness and soft-spots. Their mind calculates a formula for the other person's actions. When things go wrong between the two individuals, one hurts the other big time by deliberately doing things that the other person hates.

"Evano Oruvan" - Tamil movie Review

A common man stuck in the daily routines of life, longs for very few simple pleasures of life. He's often ridiculed for his 'timed-out' principles by the public and also his wife, finds it hard to accept injustices happening in front of his eyes. A provocation from his wife leads him to a destructive way of ensuring that justice prevails through violence. How the media sees it, how the police handle it, the public (for whom he fights for) reacts to it and how it all ends, form "Evano Oruvan"'s story.

Madhavan should be proud of his role for he's given his best performance till date, on the heels of 'AnbeSivam'. His body language, expressions, dialogue delivery .. all show only "Sridhar Vasudevan" the character and never "Maddy, the star". He's also co-produced the film as well as written dialogues which are quite good and thought-provoking in places (thanks to Seeman, his friend-director who also stars as Vetrimaran, the inspector). Madhavan's performance, especially in the climax scene deserves a special mention. Seeman and Sangeeta have done full justice to their respective roles.

Though there are no songs (which makes the movie short and suits the storyline), the BGM boosts the mood of the story. I am hearing that this is a ctrl+c of an English movie "Falling Down" starring Michael Douglas. Whatever.. the director has done a good job by giving a fresh treatment to a regular story (Anniyan-without-gimmicks to simply put it). Might not find many takers but surely its a good movie worth watching.

"Kalloori" - Tamil movie Review

The story goes like this :

A girl brought up in posh Bengaluru but made to join a local Govt college in Madurai area of rural TamilNadu, finds tough to mingle with a set of friends who have joined there as a group straight from school. She later becomes friends with the group.. the subsequent conflicts, emotions, love, etc among them ending abruptly in a tragic way forms "Kalloori".

I liked the rustic setting the movie is based on... fresh faces who are naturals in the scenes with a little amateur display of emotions (which is acceptable).. the two guys who come as "neenga sollunga" catchphrase were seriously funny.... me and my friends were amazed by Tamanna's color.. oh man, she's gorgeous (i saw her during 'Kedi's preview show in person), though her acting has to improve here and there.

Joshua Sridhar's song in the rain and the other at Mahabs were just good as well as his BGM. The director BalajiSakthivel could have had a different unheard-of climax (it was unexpected, though) instead of something which came in the headlines a few years back and which the public wont ever forget. The 'culturals' scene could have been trimmed down and some scenes/dialogues are 'filmy' instead of being natural reactions.

Personally, it failed create an impact in me, a la-7GRainbowColony or a "Sethu" impact. Overall, a pakka decent movie which has no big stars, no dabba dance, no double-meaning dialogues, no gory violence (if u take the climax as an exception)... it takes guts to be a Shankar to produce one (as he's known for all those stuff). "Kalloori" is miles ahead of loads-of-crap that come along masquerading as "tamil cinema"...!!
