REVIEW OF SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

 

One Question to MIT, USA. Is it possible to build Spidey Tracking APP the way NED Built? I doubt, and correct me if I’m wrong! Because, facial recognition wont be largely present on building terraces, and let’s say even if they are present, is it possible to hack every camera of the entire city? NOPE! Further, did NED put some GPS tracking device on Spider Man? NOPE! So, how that APP was built, kindly post on your BLOG, so that I can be illuminated!

Now, coming back to the Review! I’ve seen in most of the movies, that the likes of William 'Bill' Metzger, who play the Head of some or the other Secret Scientific Units always survives, in the name of good cause, despite extracting without permission either powers or energies! Like, does the production house want to justify such acts? Maybe! And that’s why, they must introspect, on what I’ve written in this para!

The flick is engaging, despite having the same theme. There’s a Head of some Secret Scientific Unit, wanting to Extract Powers, for himself or for someone else, in the name of Nation Building or to Counter Enemies or Good Cause; and then, been confronted by the last remaining; YET, after all this, ends up thriving! This needs to be looked upon as why; and the justification should be given!

Jean Grey wasn’t wrong in taking Revenge! If I were Spiderman, I would’ve supported GREY! Just like we loved and justified the Revenge of Rambo! John Wick! The Bride in Kill Bill! And so on! So why the Head of Damage Control unit who Killed Grey’s Sister, be shown in a neutral manner! Look, the whole problem in the World started when people started capturing someone else’s things! Be it Tangible or Intangible! In the present case also, Did Metzger take permission from Grey? Nope! Just capture, extract, and, leave it to die! And then, magnify it, and, repeat the cycle on someone or something else! Now, here’s the case! Remember first Iron Man Part -1? We supported Tony Stark for taking over the Antagonist! Why? Because the Antagonist wanted Tony. Stark’s power without his Permission! In District 9, the same thing happened! Just extract the powers or anything from the Aliens without permission and move one! This is wrong! You Shalt Not Steal! Even Someone Else’s Power OR Energy! Simple Principle Of Life!

But again, the movie was great! I watched it today! And would say, I found more engaging than Spiderman-Homecoming! And a good weekend watch also!

All said & done, an engaging flick and a good watch! 

REVIEW OF THE ODYSSEY

  

There are movies that are made to ‘look’ realistic. And there are some which are made to be ‘felt’ realistic. Back then in the early 00, Gladiator & Troy were able to achieve the latter. CGI, No CGI, Doesn’t Matter! Because, you’ve LOTR with CGI in the same level of Gladiator; what at that time, Alexandar couldn’t achieve! Even honestly, 300, didn’t feel realistic, as it just looked realistic!

Now what does this ‘being realistic’ even mean? It means you’re engrossed in those two – three hours which can create another reality for you -> of that era, those surrounding, which would feel, as if some sort of Portal has been opened for you! The ODYSSEY is one such film that opens a portal of ‘being realistic’ for you.

You’re the Greeks in it! You’re the Gods! You’re the Monsters! You’re Sorcerous! You’re The Queen, The Prince. And You’re -> The Odysseus. And His Pain! As you can feel the Real Real in them, when diving into that Era!

There are Four things that makes a movie -> an epic masterpiece! Direction, overall Cinematography, the Protagonist’s or the Antagonist’s Performance, and, the Background Score! What made The Dark Knight different from other Batman series? It was the Heath Ledger’s Performance & Nolan’s Direction! What made Kill Bill different from Charlies Angels? It was Uma Thurman’s authentic expressions! And what makes The Odyssey today different from the other Epic tales being told? It is Matt Damon’s Performance, & Above All, Original Masterpiece Direction of -> Christopher Nolan!

Now, I’ve read that some people online have COMPLAINED about Hélène de Troie is being shown as a Black Girl, or, Sinon from the LGB community. Now tell me one thing! For how long they’ve been shown in the entire movie which stretches to around 3 hours? Hardly for 5 Mins! Correct? And let us say, as per the HOMER’s literature, you wanted to depict Hélène de Troie -> as a White Girl, and I’m not refuting your Claims! You are Correct, as, History should be shown on ‘AS IS’ basis! BUT, can’t you all accept few artistic modifications or upgradations while evaluating a MASTERPEICE Movie like The ODYSSEY?

Look, anything followed in verbatim brings chaos! So goes for the Literature! There should be some flexibility been given! And thus, your Complaints Cannot Overshadow -> The ODYSSEY. It’s an exceptionally made Masterpiece of our time, and one must dive into it & feel Realistic!

This is a movie that should be considered to be watched even as part of your College Curriculum. About the Odysseus’s dilemmas, his betrayals, his regrets, his exile, his wrong judgements, his sacrifices, and finally, his surrender to the Fate!

All said and done, The ODYSSEY is an exceptional brilliant masterpiece artistic work of Christopher Nolan. Go and Watch Near your Theatres! 
