Hugo (2011)
Details only a TRUE master could deliver...
i was curious enough as it it to know martin Scorsese directing a children movie, not only is it not his genre ..at all, but why would he want do it anyway? what if he messes up? after delivering hardcore intense drama, what good can he bring from a child story? well i was glad to know martin answered it all, HUGO demanded those technical details which only an experienced master can deliver. the dramatic set pieces, those steamy London rail stations, those bustling crowds just bring in the whole experience and nails it bang on!! Those nostalgic moments of old cinema even though hard to convince to younger generation it was a touch of class when he could translate this to us in such a good fashion that even we feel the urge to have been there amongst them doing things which would later have been applauded, cherished. HUGO is more than a movie, it feels more of a movie made with interest with curiosity and urge to perfect things with its rich lifelike details.It tells us the story of a boy who loves to fix things with passion.. and told by a person who loves to tell new stories and push the boundary with that same passion. Don't miss this one, i wouldn't be shocked if HUGO eats up a major chunk of its Oscar nominations. and i really wish it all the best at it..
Hotaru no haka (1988)
a gut-wrenching drama of innocence..
grave of fireflies..as innocent as the title may sound i really doubt it is that innocent..it explores the bond of a brother and her younger sister set in the backdrop of japan during the war, the director has done an incredible job in infusing warmth in the character,especially the little child who is animated so real that one shall forget that he/she is watching a work of animation. said that i pained me to point out a very on-your-face loop hole in the story this great.. this is when the brother gets money from the savings at the end ..while enduring all the hardship keeping those money at the safe and he robbing at various places..seems infuriating to me seeing her sister face malnourishment.. but none the less the story was excellently told with those meticulous details of setsuko..her image is one that will haunt you even long after you have finished the movie..well it does for me..
