As the blog entries appear on the blog , the latest posts being on the top , the title of this post will confuse you unless you have read the blog in a chronological order . so go back to the dates when I started writing about movies.
Generally , in India and now almost all over the world , new film releases take place on a Friday . Thinking being , the week end will make it possible to find free time for those people who are inclined to see the movie . Of course those not inclined to see them will not see them in spite of free time . Life of a film in Nagpur , particularly of an English movie is stretched to about 5-6 days. Because by the fourth day , even when news paper adverts keep screaming " house Full " , the Full House is almost empty !! So , every Friday there is invariably a new English movie . It so happened that " Die Hard 4 " was also released when Anuj was around . Need less to say Anuj and Puja took us to see that movie . Human imagination is some thing tremendous , it is amazing the ideas people can come out with . Thank God for that , because we are where we are because of this unique human quality !!
Try to think of ways one would like to neutralize the threat posed by an assaulting helicopter . Guns of any amount of verities , anti aircraft missiles , sling shot , any thing to jam the rotors etc etc . No ! none of these !! Now take the case of John MacLane , our die hard hero, he destroys the terrorist helicopter by catapulting / launching an automobile at the helicopter . Needless to say the idea works to perfection . Helicopter proves no match for the car and is destroyed in the collision and so is the car , but loss of car is of no consequence !!!!. No matter what the odds , with such ideas and their successful implementation there is no way John Mac lane , our hero can loose, For die hard "Die Hard " fans it was at par film .
That was also the time when advt campaigns in news papers , TV etc were already launched for "The Transformers " which was to be released on 17 Jul 07 . That was the time when Anuj had already planned to leave the terra firma for the high seas . He felt bad that he would miss it as the write up was too fantastic and also particularly as the name of "Stephen Speilberg " , a name which creates magic so far as the art of cinematography is concerned was associated with the film !!!
So Priti and I went to see the "Transformers " . Incidentally we saw Hindi version . Even though , I wrote a glowing synopsis to Anuj , I could not understand the reasoning for comic bent given to the scenes and the dialogues by our young hero !!!! Other than that of course the ideas , photography and the rest of the filmy paraphernalia was awe some . Most impressive !!!
