Nandhalala : Myskin

[sloshed]

Thanks Ramki..Anjathey had all his trademark expertise is I may so call it..storywise it maybe just another thriller, but they way he maintained the grip on his narration was astounding. I remember I watched "Frost vs Nixon" after that ..Both these movies had me walking ..I just cudnt sit..such was their gripping narration..

Offcourse Myskin reads and watches a lot of foreign movies ..Maybe thats why he dares to be different. A guy who can quote dostoevsky and kitano in his list of reportoire is expected to think differnt.. Bala on the other hand is pure magical..he doesnt come across as a well read person, but he believes in his medium..imagine this for his last two movies

1. An undertaker who grew up in the graveyard, immune to emotions, cries for the first time on seeing a burnt skull. Why?

2. Death is a form of punishment to some and a boon to others.

Try taking these two themes to producers or even think os weaving a narration around them and everytime he tugs ur heart. I watch a lot of international movies I havent come across anything even remotely close to these. Thats why I think Bala is among the most original thinkers.

Musicwise Myshkin is at an advantage (Sunder C Babu did a phenomenal score in both his movies)..whereas Bala surrenders himself before IR ..(I wud still prefer he goes to karthickraja than Yuvan coz I think KR will suit him more) ..Myshkin demands his music that he idetified and grew on with Raja whereas Bala lets the master decide his moves..IMHO..
