Ok... i recently watched two movies that released... one was "A wednesday"... a really well made fast paced film by Neeraj Pandey and the other was "mumbai meri jaan" by apla marathi maanus Nishikant kamat...
I was thinking about both of the movies and realized of different they were in their treatment as well as their subject.. even though they talk about the same thing...not exactly.. but about 'bomb blasts' in general... both of them have mumbai as the city...
well other than the filmmaking differences.. i wanted to talk about the story and the perceptions of these filmmakers... for those who have seen both the movies.. one of them ends in a one minute silence by all the characters(which are common people) of the film and the other is of a common man taking a drastic step and blowing up few terrorists.. his point being that common people cant take this anymore and if the government/police wont take nay action, the common has to do so...
the two films even though they talk of the same subject, have absolutely contradicting endings.. in one.. it shows people living in harmony and accepting other people of different color,religion, race and the other shows a man taking a drastic step... so what is it that we live by.. do somethig or just sit and say"chalta hai"... hum sab bhai bhai... what is it that most of us live by??... after such an incident takes place.. we all live in fear and discuss such important issues( some of us dont eve n do that_) for the next few days... and then forget it... we like to believe( atleast I do) someone amongst us will do something to improve the predicament of our city/state/country... i like to believe that" i believe that i will be the one doing so"..this evidently is not true.. but it atleast makes me happy.. and then again get bakc to your life and forget all these issues... but its better off if someone else does the dirty work...
anwyay... let me end it at... if noone else there to criticise.. the best are the politicians...
thsoe damn fools dont do anything!!! :P
and i can sleep peacefully.... its not my fault....
