The magical world of the movies interpreted in my way. Its a simple expression of ‘How I feel about the Film’ and ‘Why I feel that way’.
As Adoor Gopalakrishnan says, Work of art will feel differently to different people depending on their outlook of life‘, I am humbled in sharing my feelings about the film and attempt to express the reasons behind it as honestly as possible. My interpretation is ‘time bound’ and is limited to my life’s experiences. As I grow and my horizon’s expand, my view my stand different.
But I am happy to create this ‘time capsule’, to record how I feel right NOW, to interestingly to go back and compare it later.
Glad you are part of this journey.
Happy watching.
