movies

Ive watched a few movies recently I noticed Ive started liking serious or quirky movies. I just loved memento and my friend hugely recommends Old boy ( korean of jinda) Ive planned that for this week.

I watched revolutionary road, Leo and Kate back together after titanic and the movie could not be more different... or actually, Revolutionary road could as well be the sequel to titanic had Jack lived :) I understand Rose so well ( she;s called something else in RR but what the heck rose is rose and by any other name is just as sweet :-p)
Moral of the story, If u think u are special dare to be special, if u are just playing house and thinking u are special, you may as well see the reality and accept it. Or it would hurt when someone pulls the rug from under you - like Jack.. he's spent his whole life pretending he;s something else when in reality hes just like ur neighborhood uncle. unfortunately it hurt his wife more than him.

The Reader, Hmmmmm. hmmm hmmmmmm......cant really say I liked it, but it sure left me wondering! what do I make of the movie!
Surprisingly its not the Risqué part that bothered me, 15 yr old with a 40 yr old woman.. yeah I guess its ok. But I think Id be wild if the gender was reversed! :)
What to think of the woman and the boy? the illiterate angle/the love story is sweet, He sending her the cassettes and everything.. that was sweet.

she was a woman who was so ashamed that she was not able to read and she just loved reading.. but why the boy? was she a pedophile? do we paint all such relationships as black? seeing that the boy was really scared for life...( made worse by her being in SS and leaving suddenly) but its not really portrayed that way.
Some one is in SS does not mean they are all dark, they may have a sensitive side( and vice versa also?)
But I am just not able to put myself in his place and see what he must have gone through. He was never able to establish any other relationship in his life cause of her. He once says what she did to me in nothing compared to what she did to you.
She hurt him for life by abandoning him and then shockign him cause he realised she had made other people read to her, by realising that she is ex SS , also by feeling for her realising that she was ashamed of being illiterate.... I still feel i am missing something for it.
3 iron and spring summer autumn winter and spring two korean movies. I loved these movies, how different can movie making go? no conversation at all between the leading lady and the lad! wow! it was beautiful and nice - 3 Iron.
spring... Zenish movie... simple I liked it.. hollywood and bollywood are in the infancy of movie making :)
