musicals
‘There are some music, some movies, and of course some books which radiate inspirations, feelings which are imbibed into them due to the classical masterpiece treatment given to them. If you can manage somehow to be surrounded by them even for some time, they surely will create a positive vibes around you, lifting up your mood, inspiring you, making you believe that yes if you are able to connect to that energy, there is some in you too….and....so go out to the world and show it!!!!!’
This is the untouched-unedited-unchanged expression of my sentiments which were evoked in me as a result of watching August Rush. Now when I am reading it, a few weeks later, these words sound gibberish to me. I wrote them half in sleep. It was very late night, maybe 1 or 2 a.m when we finished the movie. Usually we watch a movie in a span of two three days...rather nights, starting after Jiya goes to sleep. But with this movie we simply could not press the pause button and watched it at one go, despite feeling sleepy. Such was the aura and the charm which the director and the music weaved around us.
But however childish they might seem, I will not delete them. Rather I will share it with others as a tribute to a beautiful thing, a movie which resulted as a result of the amalgamation of head and heart, of mind and soul.......oh I started blabbering again....But if you have not yet watched, you are missing something.
How a kid finds his parents whom he has never met, through music.....the plot, howsoever unreasonable it may sound, seems so real and possible while watching the movie. Though I do not understand the technicalities of music, the high notes and the low notes and other stuff, but while watching the movie I never felt that I lack the ear to catch crescendos, they nevertheless lifted up my spirits...
Talking of music reminds me of another movie which I watched recently- Mamma Mia. As told to me by Ankur, this movie is based on music by Abba group, which became very famous in 1970, and which was later converted into a play. This movie is a rearranged version of that very play.
One suggestion- if you are feeling blue and need something to uplift your mood, this bright, happy to watch movie is the very solution you might be looking for!!!!
Talking of peppy feel good musicals reminds me of Singing in the rain which is a musical with the tadka of comedy, which I watched a few years back, but still remember it.
Now how can a talk be complete without the mention of our own bollywood musical, which was even advertised as the very first. It was directed by mister Farah khan, I mean Shirish Kunder. And the movie is.... Janeman starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Jinta. Now this is another movie which I could never understand why became a ‘flop’. I mean it had all the ingredients which contribute into making a movie ‘hit’, to name a few- a good star cast supported by some good music, comedy, romance, etc. May be it became a victim of insufficient or inappropriate marketing.
Though I admit the movie could have looked better with a few edits here and there. But is not it true for everything that fails to succeed? Suggestion pour in- to have done it better. Even from inexperts...... like me.
