RELIGION: IT MAKES YOU HELPLESS OR IT MAKES YOU A TERRORIST



MY SIMPLE VERDICT: WATCH OH MY GOD FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. GO FOR IT NOW 

Few cinema's dare to make a point straight to the heart. Oh my god is a rare movie that comes out with a message that requires guts. On behalf of my blog i congratulate and appreciate this director for his effort. I dont want to analyze or write any comments on this movie. 

Cinema with RK salutes this director for making a point that can change the very foundations of a god fearing society. You may ask me who cares? I simply conclude: why should i bother?

The director made his point. Its crystal clear. For this he has not resorted himself to cheap gimmicks or tricks. He has not made mockery of religion or he has not made him a victim of graphics and technology. His lead actor comes out with an awesome portrayal. 

What amazed me is the directors God. Simple and friendly. He seldom performs miracles except in the penultimate scenes.He calls his devotee his friend. He declares he is nature himself. 

In one of the scenes god declares 
"i always give you means; its up to you to use them for good or bad"

well said director. thumbs up

films you should not miss

One of my students recently visited my house when i am away. Knowing my absence he asked my wife: " ye cinemaki vellaru( which movie he is watching today). My wife felt very sad and she even imagined that entire circle of mine is imagining me as a cinema maniac or i am suffering from a habituation of cinema. As such she expressed her concern to me in a very serious tone the same night. 

This definitely influenced me and i thought there's no point in writing reviews and opinions that finally make you look like a person suffering from obsession towards cinema. At a point it appeared to me my inclination towards cinema made people make fun of me behind me. for a while I DISTANCED MYSELF FROM WRITING OPINIONS AND REVIEWS. The objective behind my writing is to keep a record of good movies. 

For me is cinema is a passion. It's a great pleasure to watch characters move before you with different motivations and intentions. Its an enthralling experience to watch some one do the impossible. Its awesome experience to see the protagonist perform uphill tasks with ease. 

For me cinema is a tool that can have a telling impact on society. I can cite hundreds of examples that changed the world for ever. For example nuvve kavali changed the very premise of relations between girls and boys in Andhra Pradesh. I saw a lot of parents introspecting themselves after bommarillu.  My mother says Sankarbharanm re infused life of classical music in Andhra pradesh.

No. cinema will never change a society.  Yet it can influence culture. It can bring rapid changes in the attitude as well as personality in a youngster. Most of the freedom movements across the  world used art to spread the fervour. 

What ever I just want to keep a record of the good movies i watched in recent times.

A) The gangs of Wasseypur( I and II): In simple words if this is our official entry to oscar we will definitely win it.
B) Barfi: sweet and a ver postive movie. What if certain scenes are plagiarized  its a treat to watch. Ranbir kapoors performance is awesome.
C) Avunu: A very good thriller and the way ravi babu used  automated lights to scare is remarkable.
