He who said so, was dot on target when he said that "Cinema" is a reflection of society. It truly is. It tells us so many things about the customs, fashion, architecture, etc of an era which can not be encompassed in literature.
After my CFA Level-I exam got over on 2nd dec, I've watched many a good movies. Notable among them are, "Catch me if you can", "The others", "The Illusionist". However, one movie which I'm not going to forget for quite some time is definately none other than "MALENA".
Wowwwwww. What a movie. Hats off to Giuseppe Tornatore, Writer/Director of this Italian flick for coming out with this perfect depiction of pure love, the longingness felt by the one sided lover.
As soon as the movie starts, it transcends you into the second world war Italy. The master storeyteller casts his magic and you suddenly start feeling in sync with all the characters of the movie for next 1 hour 40 mins. And when the movie ends, you feel like staying back in time for some more time so as to be able to share the pain with "Malena".
Simply great. Cinema at its best.
