all the world s a stage

it is high time i decided on my favorite movie. most of my cinematically illiterate wingies n other friends (not that i m any tarantino with years of viewing experience) watch the hopeless indian cinema so ardently that it has penetrated so deep in their neurons that they find it hard to try something new and they have been giving the same reason since biblical times tht bollywood movies can be watched jst for fun, the fun part of course seems to elude me everytime i try to sit through the epic dramas.
deciding a single movie as a favorite one is an impossible thing for me. so i have one for each category. the departed the all time thriller champ. scorsese at his best. the pace goes undetected and so does the as usual effortless acting from jack nicholson . and the stupid audience is left scratching the heads at the end when dignum turns out to be just another rat. the departed was a remake of a chinese movie but a classics example of how every scene canbe recreated and still be so new or rather captivating, not like any other sohail khan movie in which every scene is made by the cut-copy-paste process.
pursuit of happyness claims the top spot in your rags to riches or distress to glee category. the bond potrayed by the smith junior and smith senior makes me cry every time i watch it. chris gardener says to his son-dont ever let anybody tell u that u cannot do something. if u gotta dream u gotto protect it.period. simply awesome!!
robert de niro makes taxi driver mesmerizing. the best acting u can ever get. the scene where he looks in the mirror and says - u talking to me? thts the upper cut for every actor. no one can even come close to tht. i want to write sthing about pulp fiction but my words cant even glorify tarantino's efforts.
happy movie watching!!
