My week isn't complete without watching a movie. A film by Mani Ratnam to be precise. My most favourite film maker. His movies have a life in it. Be it any genre romance,action,family-sentimental,documentary.. His movies are always unique. His movies would give some special feeling which any other movies fail to give.
Thalapathy is my most favourite movie. I watch it every month. One could relate the incidents of Mahabaratha to some of the scenes in this movie. That sun background in every important scene symbolise Karna's mythical status as the Suryaputra,for an instance. The most famous and often quoted friendship from the Indian Mythology was brought alive on screen because of Mani Ratnam.
Raavanan is no way lesser to Thalapathy. As the latter one portrays Mahabaratha, the former one portrays Ramayana. The best part in this movie is the Starring. Everyone would have given their best performance. The huge statue of Lord Vishnu in this movie is like a feather in the cap.
He didn't make movies to release them on some holidays. He made movies for the decade. The entire 90s decade spoke about Mouna Ragam. So did the 2K's decade about Alaipayudhe and 2K10's decade about OK Kanmani. Each and every romantic scene in those movies is lovely poetry!
One doesn't have guts to picturize politics in his movies. Yet Mani Ratnam packs few decades of Tamil Nadu politics into a 2 and a half movie, Iruvar. Despite its disclaimer, one could draw analogies to the real life politicians. The movie has been shown so realistically and yet subtle as it doesn't hurt anyone's sentiments much.
That period's burning issue was made into movies by Mani Ratnam. When the world spoke about Srilankan eezham issue, Kannathil muthamittal was directed. When the world spoke about the Tamilnadu fishermen issue, Kadal was directed. Anjali was directed as a tribute for Autism. To show the power of Youth, he made Ayutha Ezhuthu. To say a lot more about Mani sir and his movies, one post couldn't be sufficient!
Mani Ratnam - The name says it all!!
