I usually do have these phases of confusion. Actually, it isn’t that strange when I think about it.
Or is it because I’m trying to find my own path and the loneliness I feel in that? Strange that I’m unable to discern. What better a testament can there be for a movie? But I went alone and the two people who sat beside me were also those who had come alone to watch the movie. Was it because I saw the movie alone? Yes, there were many others in the theatre, even though the movie was released three months back. To make us feel part of a place.” Yet I Feel So Lonely Right Now
To connect us to a world that we barely know of. “Isn’t this what stories are supposed to do. How beautifully have they created that world, a world that I would perhaps not even glance at, had my car passed through there. Never have I seen such local people being portrayed so close to the characters that I can come to know of, that it feels good, weird, different, surprising. It makes me look at the fishermen folks differently. The world they created, is so far removed from the world that I know of. It’s only my thoughts, my feelings. Or was it the brilliance of the team behind the movie that made me feel like I know those characters? One email years back does not mean anything (she had mailed in her portfolio for an Ad that I was assisting in, without even her name, and I mocked her in my reply which doubt she or anyone remembers, but me). Was it the music? The characters? The actors? The story? The direction? What is this sense of loss that I feel after watching it? A feeling of being alone, of fear, of longing for something?Īnna Ben (who plays ‘Baby’ opposite Shane Nigam) feels like I know her, though in fact I don’t. Man, what a mind that I’ve grown up with! Am I so insecure that I can’t even accept that someone is really talented? Why is it difficult for me admit that it’s a really good movie? Maybe I feel that by accepting the fact that someone outdid me, someone is more talented than me, someone is more gifted than me, pokes at my complex bubble. What a lovely movie, Kumbalangi Nights, though I hate to admit it. Note: This is not strictly a review of the movie.
