Its so true that we take so much for granted, and forget to remember what we are blessed with. I also wonder if visually challenged (I think thats the 'politically correct' word to use in this context) would ever dream, and if yes, how/what would that be?<br /><br />Bhansali has been trying to make movies with difficult subject like this (remember Khamoshi?) but I personally feel that he is yet to hit a perfect chord. He is trying, at least!TSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333836974959701696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1108349550319229102005-02-14T09:52:00.000+07:002005-02-14T09:52:00.000+07:00Souvik, thanks for the comment.

It was not meant to be a comment on the movie. I liked the movie in spite of all the Bansali loudness - perhaps because a situation as terrible as michelle's deserves a screaming narration as the gifted ones are too indifferent to notice their silences.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-1108270830948268122005-02-13T12:00:00.000+07:002005-02-13T12:00:00.000+07:00I thought making the best of what you have, to con...I thought making the best of what you have, to constantly push the limits, to fight and overcome adversity ( the Oscars love that theme) is what the movie was about. It is possible that in view of other people's inabilities, our own may seem trivial & teach us not to crib and complain; however, it is the old King Bruce story thematically, in my opinion. For me, the movie was not about what I have or have not, but what attitude I bring to whatever I have. <br /><br />I did not like the movie all that much. For me, the lavish sets & the gorgeous shots overshadowed the anyway moderate performances. <br /><br />There is this other movie called "Thoda saa roomaani ho jayein", you could think of Nana Patekar as a Bachchan parallel in terms of characterization, you know, idiosyncratic, dreamer type. Now for me Patekar to gether with Kanwar created magic, something which in my opinion did not happen with black. <br /><br />My knowledge of cinema isn't really much, but for me the best way to capture intensity of human emotions is letting it be in the nude. <br /><br />S!S!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16530331322257003674noreply@blogger.com
