One for the Future  

Posted by Ram in

Watching Movies on Festival Days can be a real torture due to the ridiculously high number of advertisements that are aired. But I endured all this and many more dampeners to watch a movie yesterday, courtesy the Director of the Movie, Myshkin.

I am not going to write a Review on Anjadey(Tamil),a movie that was released a year ago, rather I am going to write about some aspects , which made me to come to the conclusion that he is one for the Future.

The first thing was the keen attention to detail and belief on the Script,it is very rare to find directors paying attention to detail, on the other hand it is very common to have directors gloss over the finer points focusing more on Style and Star Power.

The Second thing that impressed me was the fact all he sketched all the characters as Intelligent Ones.Readers might be surprised over the fact that I have mentioned this aspect,but such is the low level that films have got into, particularly Tamil and Telugu. You will hardly find the Lead antagonist as an Intelligent one,in fact he will be portrayed as so Dumb, that you will start to wonder about the Intelligence of the Director.

The third thing is his stress on Background Score or Re-Recording as it is known in some circles. A good background score enhances the value of a scene immeasurably and makes the performance of the artists look better.It also allows the artist to underplay the role.

Finally to the Grey areas, Film making has got a set of formula e which are Language Specific and Myshkin too falls into the formula trap at some places. Hope he does not fall into it again.

Final Word: Here is a director who can go places and make a name for himself. I wish him all the very Best.
