like the handmaiden , the silenced is a gothic story about female oppression and how its protagonists struggle and fight against it . it all starts with the title . its english language title “ the silenced ” literally implies that the girls at the centre of this story are the “silenced” ones , a reflection of how females are always the ones whose voices are silenced in society .

the good that

has done certainly outweighs its flaws , but there are certainly some of those : character and plot tropes that pad out the story but have little to do with it .
zac efron’s dj drama “ we are your friends ” is being silenced by the faith - based film “ war room ” at the u . s . box office , according to early friday estimates .
the reveal to the mystery at the start of the final act admittedly falls a little flat considering the gothic nature of the film . but the story pushes forward to ultimately deliver a mostly satisfying final act . the creations — these doll - like teenage girls that have been abandoned , manipulated and silenced all their lives — eventually revolt in a violent and haunting manner against their oppressors . what makes the silenced even more eerie and tragic though is that much of the horror inflicted on the teenage girls are at the hands of women , whose strings are being pulled by men .

has already brought in a lot of people into the theatres in south korea and also opened a lot of eyes to the injustices that occurred in south korea just a few years ago ( 2005 ) . i think

the silenced
is a film whose plot can be dissected into two contrasting parts : the first two - thirds that is alluring and full of promise , and the last third that quickly declines into disappointing predictability . the two parts are decorated with gifted actors , insightful filming , and very marked themes of friendship , sacrifice , and evil . set in japanese - occupied korea ,
the silenced
focuses on a girls ' boarding house and sanitorium where strange things happen to its sickly students , . . .

usually the south korean cinema makes very great movies and quite often memorable horror movies . however , it would be impossible to keep making such movies . and
the silenced
( aka
gyeongseonghakyoo : sarajin sonyeodeul
) was a deviant from the usual impressive line of horror movies to make it out of south korea . i hadn ' t heard about
the silenced
before i stumbled upon it while browsing the horror selection on netflix . being a fan of the horror genre and being particular fond of asian movies , then of course i would give
the silenced
a go . however , it turned out to be a less than mediocre experience . the story is about a girl who is sent to a remote boarding school where things seem quite out of place . and in order to survive , the new student must uncover the secrets stored within the walls of the school .
the silenced
wasn ' t scary at all , it was not even a thriller ; it was , a best a mystery laced with supernatural elements . as such , then it was a major disappointment , because i had expected it to be more within the typical horror genre ; a genre that south korean cinema does so well . it should be said that the acting in the movie was quite good , and that is what kept me sticking with the movie to the very end . even after that preposterous turn of events after the reveal of what was actually going on . the story in
the silenced
just wasn ' t particularly riveting , nor was it particularly memorable . i have seen the movie to the end , but i am sure that the movie will soon fade from memory , because it just didn ' t manage to find any foothold .
the silenced
was a disappointing movie to me , and as such i am rating it a mere 4 out of 10 stars . if you enjoy a good south korean horror movie , then there are far better choices available .

watched

here in korea on its opening day . didn ' t really know what to expect from the film before going in , but came out shaken , angered and left with the feeling of having seen a powerful film that can bring about positive change . the basis for the movie is purported to be based on a true story which makes things all the more striking . having not watched

a korean movie that came out earlier this year also based on a true story , my closest point of reference is bong joon - ho ' s by now classic film

“with lush green mountains , pretty schoolgirls dressed in uniforms , a beautiful boarding school and an impeccably styled uhm ji - won , the silenced offers many visual delights . the plot , however , is a messy hodgepodge , the result of overreaching on the part of screenwriter and director lee hae - young . ” won ho - jung , korea herald
the most surprising performance was probably from park so - dam , who made a fantastic feature - length debut in “the silenced . ” mature , collected , and determined , park so - dam’s portrayal of yeon - deok provides a steady anchor grounding the film between the extremes of park bo - young’s timid ju - ran and uhm ji - won’s steely headmistress .
after the screening of

that i had the pleasure of watching at the 2015 busan international film festival , kofice secured the korea joa 2015 members places in the q & a session following the film with director lee hae - yeong and leading actresses park bo - young and park so - dam . it was held in an adjacent theater where a small number of press was invited to ask question in an open forum , . . .

he was not only defended in the newspaper ' s editorial but also given a double page spread to dissect his feelings about what it meant to be denied a voice . no doubt he expanded on those feelings throughout the course of the week during both his regular appearance spot on 2gb and on his eponymous television show , the bolt report .
“despite never really offering anything really new , the silenced is nevertheless a very enjoyable piece of genre filmmaking , and another interesting offering from lee hae - yeong . while not at the level of the classic a tale of two sisters , it’s definitely one of the better films of its type from korea in recent times , and even those understandably tired of the form should enjoy its well - judged menace . ” eastern kicks

zac efron’s dj drama “we are your friends” is being silenced by the faith - based film “war room” at the u . s . box office , according to early friday estimates . “we are your friends” would appear to have few friends heading into the weekend , and will likely finish with a dismal $ 2 . 6 million . projections were as high as [ … ]
“with its sterling production values and potent atmosphere , the silenced is an effective chiller that unabashedly seeks to entertain rather than surprise . modest ambitions may dampen the staying power of this slick production , yet with a colonial era setting that turns out to be more than just set dressing , it transcends mere escapism . ” pierce conran , screen anarchy
i was hesitant to call this a review , since i never watch the movie fully . i was thinking of calling this piece a spoiler , but then i wasn’t sure how much i’m going to spoil this . so yes , time to hit that return button if you don’t want to be spoiled for the new park bo young movie , the silenced , aka kyungseong high school : missing girls .
“ the silenced isn’t a flawless experience , but it’s satisfying nonetheless . the performances are strong , the script has a working brain , and hae - young does a fine job of generating plenty of satisfying moments between the young , charismatic leads . that said , it’s definitely a dreary and moody affair , one that probably won’t appeal to those looking for an uplifting story that moves along at a jaunty speed . ” todd rigney , electric bento
sunny and silenced are two korean films i have watched in 2012 and both are excellent . silenced is a poignant and depressing movie based on a true event that happened in a special school where the deaf children are abused by the principal and teachers . in the first half of the movie , the horrible abuses are unveiled one by one . the second half is a courtroom drama . the movie is an emotional ride which tugs at your heartstrings . at the scene in which the teacher is on the verge of tears and the boy cries his eyes out and struggles to express his overwhelming pent - up emotions upon knowing that his grandmother has forgiven the culprit , some members of the audience will be moved to tears . where might is master , justice is servant , which is cruel , but real . it is also uplifting to see the teacher remain steadfast in his determination to bring the culprits to justice , despite his daughter ' s plight . as for the setting , the misty mountains and creepy campus create an eerie atmosphere . i also love the montage at the beginning of the movie . the kid is just like the deer , innocent and pure . the perversion of justice prevails when christians are blinded by their unquestionable faith , teachers are heartless , policemen , lawyers , the judge and the security guard are corrupted by money , civil servants shirk their responsibility and shift the work onto others and others remain silent . martin luther king is right . in the end , we remember not the words of our enemies , but the silence of our friends . amid those humans who are evil but influential in society , justice is shrouded in a thick gray mist .

audiences who go in wanting a truly freaky , ringu - esque horror are not going to get that as the story here is far more old - fashioned and more akin to victorian ghost stories where the spookiness is more atmospheric . that’s why while the mystery reveal was necessary to explain the story , it feels jarring and something more out of sci - fi . still , something can be said about the never - ending folly of humans trying to play god . the silenced is a strange , tragic , haunting and well - made film . the final act may leave something to be desired but it is still one of the more original mystery - horrors to come out in recent years .

i ' ve recently just started to watch korean movies after i ' ve subscribe to netflix , and i love it . from actions , to dramas , and comedies , the stories have depth and meaning . silenced is one of the those film that left me in tears and speechless . what ' s worse is it ' s base on a true account and i can ' t believe they get away with it . does anyone know if the boy min - soo really die ? i was so hoping that he ' ll jump off the train track at the last second and leave that teacher pin to the track .
the silenced ‘s central mystery , that of the disappearing students , only furthers the overarching theme of female oppression . we get hints as to what may be happening when we see several students seizing up before disappearing the next day , as well as ju - ran’s display of inexplicable and explosive strength . it is then revealed that girls are being experimented on by the headmistress and her team to become genetically modified super soldiers . teenage girls apparently make for the best test subjects as their bodies are still developing , the film explains . here , the story draws attention to how teenage girls already have little to no control over their developing bodies by nature and as females in general , they will have no end to the lack of agency they have over their bodies .
betrayed and on the run , a north korean agent tries to uncover the volatile secrets hidden inside the eyeglasses of a dead man .
horror movies were at their peak when “whispering corridors” ( 1998 ) , bottom left , achieved box office success . but because of repetitive themes and implausible plotlines , films from the genre such as “the wicked” ( 2013 ) , bottom right , and “black hand” ( 2015 ) , top right , have failed to draw in audiences . however , “the silenced , ” top left , with a competent cast and an appealing plot , is hoping for a horror revival . it opens nationwide on june 18 . provided by each distributor
to put it simply , the silenced is like a non - werewolf version of park’s movie a few years ago , the werewolf boy . yep , nothing scary , despite alot of blood here and there in the movie , but ultimately it’s a kinda sci - fi movie , with anti - japanese nationalism sentiments weaved in , and if you would , perhaps also some hints of lesbianism were also thrown in . the overall feel of the first - half of the movie was effectively creepy ( which i skipped parts to watch because yeah , i have no guts like that ) , but the final 20 minutes or so became an outright sci - fi wannabe movie with zombie - like girls , or girls with superhuman strength , fighting against the japanese authorities .
the plot , however , is a messy hodgepodge , the result of overreaching on the part of screenwriter and director lee hae - young .
the film’s plot twists come in the form of abrupt changes that cause more confusion than excitement and become increasingly unrealistic as the movie progresses .
the silenced or it ' s korean title translated gyeongseong high school : the disappearance of the girls made me dive into the story right from the start . the story , i believe took place sometime during the japan colonization in korea . and the mysterious disappearance of the girls happened in this boarding school . joo ran ( park bo young ) as the centre point in this whole story shoulders her own weight . i couldn ' t help but sympathize her for the treatment she received . a mysterious incident took place one by one and it makes me wonder what ' s the deal with this shady boarding school who only has a very few students and was built way too deep into the forest . it ' s easy to lay suspicion as to whom is the one behind the disappearance but the real question is why this has to happened . i ' m just a little bit disappointing near the ends because i was expecting some historical reference to be the reason of the disappearance but surely the story take it ' s own twist . i ' ve watched too many movies , i started developing an expectation on a certain pattern that a movie with this genre should have . not really the ending that i want but it ' s worthwhile for anyone who loves mystery / thriller / crime movies . happy watching . sorry for this kinda crappy review . i haven ' t written in a while .
“the horror movie is all about the thrill , ” said culture critic ha jae - keun .
uhm ji - won claimed that she wants the best supporting actress award . the actress was interviewed by news n on the 10th and she claimed she wants the award this year , . . .
time really does fly , and actress park bo - young - - whom many filmgoers no doubt still think of as the young girl of her early performances - - has now been acting for 10 years . for park , it has been a decade spent carefully building her career . in her latest film , the mystery - thriller

, which was released last week , park plays a girl in poor health who is dragged to a sanitarium - style boarding school by her stepmother in 1938 , with korea still under japanese colonial rule , . . .
but that is no longer the case . the genre , which enjoyed much popularity in the early 2000s , is now waning at korean box offices .
still wondering , why law exist in our daily life . who hold the power of justice , who seeks the justice , who needs the justice .
because the time is in the middle of the japanese occupation era , the main purpose of the school is educating its girls as model japanese citizens while improving their health . every girl in the school has each own japanese name while japanese is frequently spoken in the classroom , and we also see the girls working on a big white sheet with the figure of the korean peninsula filled with cherry blossoms . the headmaster is about to pick two best students who will be sent to tokyo for their better future , and yeon - deok ( park so - dam ) and yuka ( kong ye - ji ) have been the front runners in the competition .
director hwang dong - hyuk takes the helm for this emotionally charged drama based on a shocking true story of the vulnerable young students at a school for the hearing impaired who were sexually molested by the people they trusted most . over the course of four terrible years , the principal and some key faculty members at the school took advantage of their special - needs students in the worst way imaginable . this is the story of the students who suffered , and difficult quest to bring their abusers to justice .
the first local summer blockbuster of 2018 represented over 77 % of the total box office last week .
a year before that “the conjuring” also swept the north american box office , debuting at first place .
not gay enough but just spooky enough for my tastes , although the resolution does leave some plot threads dangling and the finale loses some of the momentum built up by the film ' s deliciously gothic atmosphere .
kim hye - soo and kim go - eun managed to be successful with
china town
although it ' s an adult rated thriller and based on women . it recorded 1 . 3 million audiences until the 13th . it competed well alongside
the avengers : age of ultron
. there ' s going to be more movies with actresses in the lead .
the silenced
is coming this june starring uhm ji - won and park bo - young . this movie is like
china town
in many ways . it revolves around women and uhm ji - won is expected to change just like kim hye - soo did , . . .
the only balm in this film is the friendship between ju - ran and yeon - deok ( park so - dam ) . yeon - deok takes ju - ran under her wing immediately after seeing how she is easily bullied by the other girls . she shows her the secret basement , sneaks her out of the school to the river and gives her a diary to replace the one that was confiscated . park bo - young and park so - dam have a genuine chemistry and rapport that helps make their relationship the backbone of the film . the scenes that ju - ran and yeon - duk share by the river are beautifully lensed and lit , a complete opposite to the dreary interiors of the school .
clearly influenced from notable south korean horror films such as “whispering corridors” ( 1998 ) and “a tale of two sisters” ( 2003 ) , “the silenced” tries to do something else within its familiar ground , though its attempts are not always successful . many elements in the story do not make sense well together when you look back at them in the whole picture , and its third act is not very satisfying in my opinion . despite such weak points , the movie is still an interesting horror film depending on atmosphere and character we can hold onto , and i think that is a good news , considering that we have not often come across a solid south korean horror movie during recent years .
desire is the theme of the fantastical planck constant , which weaves together a series of stories about a man ( kim jae - wook ) who visits the same hair salon every day in order to see the assistant about whom he fantasises . cho sung - kyu’s credits include the winter of the year was warm and santa barbara .

choi dong - hoon’s much - anticipated follow - up to the thieves is an action drama set during the japanese occupation of korea in the 1930s . assassination follows a band of korean resistance fighters who escape from prison in shanghai on a covert mission to kill a japanese army commander . in post - production , the film stars gianna jun , aka jun ji - hyun ( the berlin file , the thieves ) , lee jung - jae ( the face reader , the thieves ) , ha jung - woo ( the terror , live , the berlin file ) , oh dal - soo ( the attorney , the thieves ) and cho jin - woong ( roaring currents , a hard day ) .
the woman that played min - soo ' s grandmother is the actual grandmother of movie director hwang dong - hyuk .
the director lee hye - yeong , who previously directed a delightful coming - of - age / transgender comedy drama “like a virgin” ( 2006 ) , steadily builds tension on the screen along with considerable attention to visuals . the color scheme in the film is often accentuated by the appearance of red color , and the drab interior environment of the school makes a striking visual contrast with the headmaster’s sumptuous office which looks like a production designer’s wet dream . the relationship development between joo - ran and yeon - deok is convincingly depicted with tender sensitivity , and it eventually becomes the emotional anchor to hold for us even when the story takes an unexpected turn later .
south korean film “the silenced” , which was released in south korea as “gyeongseong school : the lost girls” in last weekend , looks like a typical genre piece at first . its main background is a girl’s dormitory school , its story revolves around a sick , beautiful girl who has to adjust herself to this strict , isolated environment , and , not so surprisingly , there is a sinister mystery hovering around every dark corner of this seemingly ordinary place . these are indeed familiar stuffs reminiscent of many other similar horror films , but the movie establishes mood and suspense well in its stylish period setting , and it also has some surprises for you although it stumbles a bit during its third act .

starring gong yoo and song kang ho , “age of shadows” is a tale of reconciliation , deceit , and betrayal during the japanese occupation of korea in the 1920s , when korean independence fighters smuggling bombs in the country clash with the japanese military .
has this case been pushed further upward by anyone ? by the end of the credits , i got the impression that it was left unresolved , or still open , but not closed .
based on real events , this film depicts the story of a school for the hearing - impaired where young deaf students were sexually assaulted by the faculty members over a long period of time .
it ' s persecution envy . and [ tom ] switzer suggests there ' s the usual rage of the snubbed intellectual :
from the read of credits , gong yoo was active in the pursuit of such exposure ; and , i am interested in finding out if he has followed up on the children , the school , the current situation of things , and if will explore reaching out for whatever it takes to put an end to such an atrocity that was simply dusted under the carpet because powerful monsters exist .
like every good gothic story , the setting is its own character . the school is a work of outstanding production design . the headmistress’ ( uhm ji - won ) office is perversely baroque , while the rest of the school is worn out and fittingly gothic . there’s even a hidden secret basement overgrown with red flowers that looks like something out of the secret garden crossed with a del toro film . the dimly lit corners in every corridor threatens to swallow its students and is used to great effect in the spookier scenes .
i ' m really happy that gong yoo took the initiative to ask a writer to make a script out of the novel . the school finally shut down because the film has awakened many people . huge respect to him for using his influence to help people .
perhaps you’ve heard the name before , or by the previous alias style ( or tony tone not to be confused with any of the other people to go by that name ) . [ … ]
after attracting a large audience during the chuseok holidays , “age of shadows” has been maintaining its top spot at the box office for 11 days , with the six million viewer mark just within reach .

i saw this movie on netflix and decided to give it a try . to summarize , an ill girl moves to an all girls boarding school which helps sick children . however , all is not as it seems - supernatural displays of strength , disappearing girls , and many death . the idea behind it seemed quite good but unfortunately it was not a great film . the first half hour seemed interesting enough , however after that it all got too samey . there were millions of flashbacks which got pretty tiring , but the most overused scene was the main character staring at blood on her hands . honestly , i lost count of the times she just stood there staring at her bloody hands after she beat people up or whatever . it ' s as if they didn ' t know how to lead on to the next thing so they were just like ,
let ' s add another hands with blood scene in here !
it was so ridiculous and random , but boring for the watcher . this was just something that irked me as it seemed pretty lazy . my next point - the characters . shoddy writing to say the least . none of the characters get a proper background or even a glance into what their motives are . each character is there to serve their purpose to the plot , but the watcher can really feel that and so it is hard to care about any of the characters . the main character is rather bland and boring with not much personality , just looking shocked or scared the whole time . another thing i considered to be lazy was the ending . they probably thought they were tying all the ends up nicely , but it was so predictable , also the fact that the headmistress keeps ' treating ' the girls when all of her attempts get botched up and people literally die , she keeps going . how desperate is she to find the right ' treatment ' ? and what do they tell the parents of the kid who dies ? because it is a school for sick children they probably try to pass it off as them dying of illness , but if this were the case wouldn ' t the parents want the children ' s body back ? i ' m sure they wouldn ' t just be cool with letting the school keep their child ' s corpse and complaints must have been made , but hey , it ' s just another technicality that the movie skims over . overall , the silenced is rather lazily written , rushing to get to the anticlimactic end scene . maybe if you have nothing else to do give it a watch but don ' t set your hopes too high .

it was so heart wrenching and gut writhing whilst crying most of the time during the graphic depictions of such obscene violations that i found it humiliating that we can call ourselves a civil human race in charge and order of the nature of this planet , our home , the earth .
it has a very predictable plot . i was expecting a twist but there is none . the story line was not congruent . # spoiler alert # don ' t read beyond this if you don ' t want to know the spoiler basically this movie is about a drug trial that is conducted to some of these girls without them knowing . so there is no icf nor assent form signed . those that experienced the side effect ( aka serious adverse event ) would disappear . the drug would give them a super - human power , but might cause some adverse event such as seizure ? death ? well , they only show the first subject as suddenly having a seizure and then she was taken away by the school . if that was not cliché enough , at the end of the movie , the heroin used her super power to annihilate the school . the rest of the girls was being sedated with their gas drugs and they suddenly awaken and kill the principal in the most gruesome way .
as soon as i know park bo young acted in this movie , i downloaded it and with the reviews i read i wasn ' t expecting a horror movie or sth like that . the movie itself started with a slow rhythm and the first half of it was quite interesting but the second half . . . it was just so much fast ! i think that it dint allow watchers to relate themselves with the movie and to understand the mysterious happenings in school . . . . unlike other reviews i read , the main character
park bo young
done her job ! i mean what do we expect from a girl who her mom dies recently and her dad and his new wife take her to an unknowing school in the deep forest . . . . of course she should be scared and most of the time quite ! however i liked her acting . . . . but i think the main weakness of the movie is the script ! sorry but it seems to me that the writer wrote it in just a weak . . . the backgrounds of the characters are all unproven for the watcher . . . and that ' s the main reason which i cant relate myself much with the movie is the poor script . . . if you are bored and need a movie to fill your boring afternoon it is a good choice !
a documentary on the rise and stumble of troy duffy , the bartender - cum - filmmaker who was swept up by miramax ' s harvey weinstein to turn his script for the boondock saints into a feature film .
during the argument between the japanese officer and the headmistress , the officer ' s haircut is very casual by japanese military standards of that era . it looks more like a contemporary style . it ' s doubtful that a japanese officer , or enlisted soldier , would have been allowed to wear his hair in such a way , as the style would more likely have been either closely cropped or very closely trimmed along the edges .
there shouldn ' t be anything complicated about that premise , yet we are still forced to listen as homophobic people claim the mantle of victimhood because they don ' t like the fact that their homophobia has been identified and named . the lyle sheltons of this world have no problem sharing their view that homosexual people pose a threat to the foundation of the nuclear family , but seem affronted when the people they attack respond in kind .
once you do figure out what ' s happening this movie is great . the acting was good and the satisfying yet heartbreaking ending was amazing .
a brief synopsis to the movie : set in 1938 , park bo young takes on the role of joo - ran , a young girl who gets transferred to a secluded all - girls boarding school , in the name of recuperating from ill - health . the school’s head - mistress ( uhm ji won ) is a daggers - in - the - smiles kind of lady , who seems to be involved in the missing girls in her school . it doesn’t help that the trailer was edited in such a way that the whole school is like a bubbling hotpot of nefarious activities .
the fidelity of the props to the setting of japanese empire in korea during the late 1930 ' s is actually quite impressive . however , one detail kept cropping up over and over , and that is the intravenous ( iv ) equipment . what i see are spiked drip chambers using clear plastic and topped by white plastic spikes . plus , the fluid runs through clear iv tubing regulated by white plastic roller - type flow regulators . these did not exist in the ' 30 ' s . the standards of the time utilized rubber
surgical
tubing , metal thumb clamps , and rate controlled by eyeballing fluid volume administered over a given time , such as 4 ounces per hour . this would be read off of a scale printed or cast molded onto the side of the bottle . see more »

this ultimate soundtrack composed by maestro illayaraja for the film idhayam ( 1991 ) was the best ever in indian cinema . a stunner and an evergreen soundtrack that will never ever be forgotton . .
idhayam film was a major hit . why , i have never been able to understand . was it the music , or was it the campy college atmosphere , or was it the fact that the . . .
speaking about the film , an excited priyadarshan said that his film is one of the 10 films and the only one from india in the final round .
idhayam is a 1991 tamil romance , drama film , directed by kathir and produced by sathya jyothi films . this film stars murali , heera , rajgopal , chinni jayanth , manorama , vijayakumar in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by vaali , piraisoodan .
the film is notable for its remarkable background score which gels with the story .
the film is written and directed by badri venkatesh who is a product of tamil nadu film institute . he was also a professor at the institute . he knows his job well and has already got a national award for a short film ` vidiyalai nokki ' .
however the film will not feature the remix of the ` aathadi paavadai ' from murali ' s debut film poovilangu . earlier there was a talk in the media of this re - mix featuring in the film . the audio was released on april 30 at sathyam cinemas .
produced by vijay and ganesh , the film has actor prakash raj playing the lead role .
the film received standing ovation from the crowd for its entertaining , yet moving take on aids .
plot of idhayam set in a medical college backdrop , the film is about a person ( introvert ) , who loves his fellow college mate , but does not have courage to convey his love to her . the film has some memorable scenes , where the hero wants to convey his love , then he mistakes that the heroine is in love with someone else ( whereas , actually she is helping her sister and her lover to unite )
adharva , son of actor murali debuts in the film . interestingly it was sathyajothi films that gave murali one of biggest breakthrough films in his career . murali ' s hugely successful film ` idhayam ' was produced by the same company . samantha debuts as the heroine . samantha is the girl who played trisha ' s role in the telugu version of ` vinnaithandi varuvaya ' . even in tamil she played a cameo as the assistant to silambarasan who later becomes the heroine of his film . both the new comers have generated a lot of expectations . prasanna is playing an important role . karunaas is in charge of the comedy .
a short review i wrote without watching the film purely based on the review from this site . i would like feedback if possible .
director priyadarshan’s sila samayangalil was in the news last month for making it to the prestigious golden globe awards screening . the film , starring prakash raj , sriya reddy , ashok selvan and others , had its first premiere at the mumbai international film festival ( mami ) on october 24 .
sathya jyothi films who have produced award winning and evergreen films such as moondram pirai , kizhakku vaasal , idhayam , parthiban kanavu & em - mahan will be working with star director prabu solomon , director of some memorable films such as myna , kumki and kayal and national award winner dhanush , who has enthralled audiences with his performances in a variety of roles & films will be expected to deliver in yet another notable film .
priyadarshan , who is currently basking in the success of his crime thriller oppam , has another reason to celebrate . his tamil film sila samayangalil ( in sometimes ) , a film which was made on aids awareness , has made it to the final round of selection for the 74th annual golden globe awards .
wanted to use that title for a film , odds are that by the time this one hits the marquee , it would have undergone a name change .
` baana kaathadi ' is believed to be a realistic romantic film in which the highlight is supposed to be its climax . it is hitting the screens in may .
amil film - makers appear to have hit on a hot trend - - the one song appearance . it ' s been going on for a while , actually - -
this film will be produced by sendhil thyagarajan and arjun thyagarajan . music is by d . imman , who will be continuing his successful combination with prabu solomon . motion picture . v . mahendran will lead cinematography and editing will be handled by das ( don max ) , co - produced by g . saravanan and selvi thyagarajan . raahul will be this film’s executive producer .
` baana kaathadi ' is a unique film as it brings together a few third generation young talents in the business of films . this film is produced by senthil thyagarajan and t . arjun , the next generation from t . g thyagarajan household . similarly it introduces atharva who is the son of actor murali . and then there is yuvan shankar raja another new generation doing the music .
- - in fact , the film also bagged seven other nandis into the bargain . and now soundarya is all set to play a snake - - okay , snake goddess - - in director
. with the film well past the 100 - day mark in tn , doing brilliant business in kerala and ap , and storming even far away centres like japan , the lass is on a roll .
- - a thriller , based on a terrorist operation centred in a movie house - - was a disaster at the box office , but has just won him the national award for best tamil film .
msv raja has worked for more than 500 regional films , one bengali , five hindi feature films and contributed more than 1000 songs for the film industry . here is one person who fits the dictionary definition of the word ' versatile ' : m . s . v . raja or sax raja , as he is popularly known in the film circles , is an expert in playing the piano , saxophone , clarinet , and oboe . he is the music composer for abaavaanan ' s
karuppu roja
, the first dts film in tamil . for over three decades , raja has been playing and conducting orchestra for several films .
more to the point , mani is slated to play an on - screen role in the film . nope , not the fleeting , blink - and - you - miss - it type of thing the likes of
that climax just rescued the film bigtime . i mean what else can you say except what you said , “come out of the movie chuckling” . people were angry and hooting but by the end , they were just dumbstruck 😀
btw , why do you call this a meta detail ? this layer in the film is just a hint , a wink . the only meta layer as far as i could see was surya’s comment on his own career .
, a film loosely based on the recent indo - pak imbroglio . it will have
family sentiment
as an important ingredient , we are told - - so stand by for heroic sons and weepy moms / wives .
the film tells the story of eight characters who arrive at a pathology lab at 9 a . m to give their blood for an aids test . however , it all ends at 5 p . m when the results arrive .
most entertaining review , probably more fun than the film itself . but , a tiny nitpicking : your last but one sentence carries a ‘between’ followed by some four options . was that an oversight , or has the usage become acceptable ?
the romantic thriller film has been finally christened as thodari which roughly translates to train in tamil . and the first look , which are in fact two posters , are pretty exciting . the movie has dhanush and keerthi suresh in the lead roles .
, mani r ' s latest , is now likely to have its full complement of ditties . someone , somewhere , apparently got the jitters at the prospect of a mani rathnam film sans chartbusting music , and that lacuna is now being plugged .
the film was shot in chennai , gujarat and thailand . important scenes were filmed in gujarat where the international kite festival is held every year . first time in kollywood history a song and scenes were shot with the real crowd at the kite festival .
` baana kaathadi ' is a different film and the plot is new to south indian cinema . it ' s about two young kite fliers , their life and their environment . the plot shows that tamil cinema is maturing fast to handle off beat plots .
richard m nathan who is an expert in shooting scenes amidst crowd realistically is the cameraman of this film . you must have seen the expertise of richard nathan in the recent trend setting ` angadi theru . rembon is the art director and suresh urs takes care of editing .
one of the main drawbacks of this film is its poor storyline that lacks guidance . after deciding to dish out a thriller on the lines of speed , prabhu seems to have committed the cardinal sin of incorporating a host of preposterous sequences which slows down this supposedly fast moving train .
that particular scene may not have been written about by reviewers / film critics . even if it was , the number of readers would not have been like what we have now . that one song scene or anything played out on a movie screen first runs in the mind of the director .

santosh kumar t k : oh , i see why he did that . but this is not like the usual narratives at the beginning of the film , in text . here , there’s a lot of talk about success etc . , and then there’s a segue to thiss disclaimer . hence the mention .
sathyajothi films is one of the oldest and most respected production houses in kollywood . from its first independent production ` moondram pirai ' in 1982 the banner has been consistently giving the audiences only clean entertaining family films like ` moondram pirai ' , ` kizhaku vasal ' , ` idhayam ' , ` parthiban kanavu ' , ` em magan ' . the most recent one to come out of this banner was ` jayam kondaan ' . after the success of ` jayam kondaan ' , sathyajothi films is now ready with ` baana kaathadi ' . the movie was launched in may last year and is now complete and ready for release .
from these 10 , five will make it to the golden globes , and the film has been cleared for its global premiere by golden globes . the hfpa ( hollywood foreign press association ) screening will take place on october 6 at beverly hills at 7 p . m . at the real d screening room ,
said priyadarshan .
of all the people who i felt may have had the artistic sensibility to make a genuine and thought provoking movie about the career path and destiny of 2 musical geniuses of indian film industry sj surya wouldn’t even make the list . and yet here he is with his latest இசை ( isai – music ) that charts a fictional path against the backdrop of real life incidents surrounding the career paths of ilayaraja and ar rahman .
and these are the reasons why i think there is a lot of difference between a zoom - in on the navel in a sj suryah movie compared to one in an item number of a commercial movie . in the latter , they do it for money , to sell more tickets and for various other reasons while sj suryah seems to be indulging in what he thinks as art . this movie is honest film - making in my opinion .

finding love , falling in love , following love n failing in love ( temporarily ) is the story . the movie is a inspirational one and has made many people to fall in love . murali’s performance , ilayaraja’s music , kathir’s direction n a fitting climax makes it a classic .
in one scene chinni will be taking murali to a sex worker n will justify stating that , this is to gain experience before marriage . murali’s fitting response - are we ok if our future wife also thinks the same way .
in another scene heera will be teased n followed by raju sundaram . if i remember right she would say if you concentrate on your career , women will follow you .

most excellent thing about the movie is it ' s music ( songs and background score ) . this is only because of maestro isaiyani ilayaraja .
the songs are very apt to the movie and screenplay . each carries heavy emotions which the character would convey . here is the list in the order of my favorites .
why could the tamil films not compete with the telugu films in terms of grandeur and sticks to quality less rural - oriented films of rajini fil . . .

now i have never heard it described like that – but now i have to see this .
venkatesh : connoisseur laam ille pa . just went to youtube and typed in a search and this came up… along with a lot more 🙂
( feel rather dumb doing this time and again . professional hazard . 😦 what to do ? especially when i’ve been advertising your blog as model writing to my students ! )
all intended to showcase surya’s prowess as a performer . ( let’s just say kamal haasan needn’t lose any sleep . )
br , i see what you did when you started off with “borderline - legalese” but to be fair — of late — almost all movies come with that . don’t they ? even when it is very very evident that the narratives unfold in fictional / alternative / cartoonish universes . because someone somewhere gets offended easily ( sometimes for groups ) , this bit of legalese absolves the makers of any shit later on ? so this has nothing to do with the real references alluded to in this particular movie ?
speaking of which , br , this is something i have wanted to ask you for a while now .
i know it’s subjective , but would love to know what you think of it .
also , regarding “ realistic , ” i’d like to know what filmmakers and writers start off with . “ this will be a realistic movie a ) we acknowledge it and the viewers also acknowledge it b ) only we , the viewers may / may not c ) unintentional d ) any other ”
iswarya : please . no need for apologies . i actually appreciate someone looking over my shoulder . as i’ve said , these pieces are written under a tight deadline and are hardly examples of “model writing , ” especially for students ! ! !
when i write these reviews , the main things i look at is ( 1 ) whether i put down all the points i have in mind about the movie , and ( 2 ) whether i put it down with a semblance of style / wit / flamboyance .
in other words , the piece should be informative . the piece should not be boring . these are the only two things i care about on friday evenings .
the niceties — grammar , punctuation , etc . — i leave to the subbing desk , at least at this point , till i return to this piece and re - read it and fix the things that are a problem .
you are actually saving me work . so please tell me where i am slipping up 🙂
also , wanted to point it out in the review , because the raja - rahman narrative was irresistible . to go by sj surya’s imagining of this narrative , raja ends up murdering mani ratnam on a rainy night 😀
about your second comment , will reply later . and please remind me if i don’t get back to it soon .
though was prepared by the heroine’s costumes and the picturisation of “isai veesi” as a trailer , naming as “savithri” , sj surya’s claims that this panipuri would be her replacement was a bit too far . now your review makes me wonder if he was really looking at the real one in a different way to what the rest of us looked at…
his supreme confidence on any “material” he produces , is really inspirational , though . . reminds of the other surya and “soapu dappa” in “pitamagan” . will try to venture this .
you pervert : - ) , and this is the blog people recommend to their students , help ! . btw , no references to amadeus or its classic hindi counterpart shakalaka boom boom . brangan who would you say was more interesting - upen patel or s . j . surya . ?
@ iswarya - some say between is used for 2 things and among for more than 2 . i hope you are not pointing this out . because this is not the case always . especially when we have distinguishable items , we can or rather should use between .
ok . you’ve certainly made me feel less guilty . as for the ‘model writing’ part , i should have probably clarified that i used to cite your reviews mostly in my own movie review classes for journalism students and so , they do have an idea of the constraints of time and all that . the idea was to make them see how much quality could be delivered even with all those constraints in place .
and that last line query sort of put me in a spot . my editor always used to give me this mysterious smile whenever i posed the question to her on how she could have possibly rewritten something . we both agreed , of course , that it was always easier to write something entirely your way than rewrite something written by anyone else .
well , in this case , i guess i’d have chosen to put it as “…lurches madly between x and y , between p and q” while making sure that x / y and p / q were genuinely self - contained opposites . but , i guess this doesn’t make much sense in your style of writing . probably why they say “le style c’est l’homme même . ” 🙂
navel and surroundings as non - stick skillet ? the expression “saar , engeyo poiteenga…” comes to mind . that prabhu deva guy must be a genius !
audacity . . ? ! really ? desperation would be an apt description . this fringe movie personality called sj surya , scavenges all over and tries to spruce up his fundamentally b - grade movie making skills .
isnt sulagna panigrahi the girl from murder 2 and one half of the conjoined twins from the serial amber dhaara ? that’s some journey from amber dhaara to isai then . .
as a side note on disclaimers , maniratnam was at his playful best in iruvar . the movie starts with the disclaimer “idhu unmai kadhai illai” .
if you read with a pause after unmai then : idhu unmai , kadhai illai .
i agree – the movie had its moments but boy did sjs indulge big time or what . sure , you do have to appreciate how he’s tried a slew of different things to make the 2nd half work but i don’t think he executed it very well at all . the one scene where i thought he acted really well was the miscarriage scene . the lines in that scene were lovely .
i am a huge fan of sathyaraj . i mean , there was a phase in the late 80s when he did some superb acting in movies like “vedham pudhidhu” and “paalaivana rojakal . ” of course , amaidhi padai is the stuff of legends . here , he got a very meaty part but i think he should’ve underplayed it a little . plus , he just didn’t come across convincingly as a musical genius . too many sathyarajisms and too little character delineation…but he had the best line of the movie i thought – “naan ilakanathukkulliye irundhen enna pazhasu - nu sollitaange . avan ilakanatha odachu odachu panitrukaan , avana pudhusu - nu solitaange . ” aptly sums up isai vendhar and ak shiva .
the one scene where i laughed the hardest was the one with raju sundaram and his assistant . the way he casually asks , “editor antony - ta povom ipo . avanaachu saaptrupaana ? ” was hilarious , i thought !
it is possible that the subject is too contemporary ( what with both protagonists still alive and creating ) for someone ( not sj surya ) to make a meaningful movie on this subject that has it all – a rags to riches story , a story of enormous success fueled by sheer genius followed by a sudden eclipse commercially by another genius .
this is the stuff a good filmmaker could gorge on like someone who sees home cooked indian food after being on a business trip to a scandinavian country for a few months . during winter .
mani ratnam might have been a good candidate for bringing such a movie to life before his sudden drop in creativity in recent times . but i would guess since he has been involved with both geniuses it may not be easy to take an unbiased stance .
1 ) well , even if he chose to chart the careers of ir and arr , he still could have made a few changes to make it look sufficiently like fiction . it could have been something other than music , like art direction , camera work or even fashion designing . the passion of creation and disappointment of somebody else’s success happens in all fields . he is just making it too close to real people for the sensation - quotient of it all . is he trying to tell a story or just trying to annoy people for the heck of it ?
2 ) i guess we already discussed movies like this in the first broad reflections post . i just standby what i told there . urltoken
3 ) this movie is basically a “if mani can make iruvar , then so can i” with absolutely no consideration as to what made iruvar what it is . i am guessing that people make the same mistake in making their heroine as audacious as nirosha and hoping that it has the same effect as agnin . if only people knew that imitation and counterfeiting not the same thing .
i really didn’t understand the need to do this ir - arr hinting . whatever the man’s faults might be , i’m sure ilaiyaraaja doesn’t do murder and the such .
but what i really didn’t understand was a couple of parents in the theater with me . they got their 5 - 6 year old kids to the movie , knowing it was from sj suryah . then they spent a good chunk of it closing the kids’ eyes .
santosh kumar t k : well i operate on the principle that what the maker says / claims is less important than what he has ended up making — in the sense that if the maker says the movie is about x and i see the movie as being about y , then to me the movie is about y .
so in the case of “iruvar , ” i see it very much as the story of mgr and karunanidhi . in this particular case , the disclaimer — in my eyes — is purely a bit of legalese .
eg . “nayakan” ( based on varadaraja mudaliar ) and “guru” ( based on ambani ) ; the filmmaking , though stylish , is fairly rooted and “real” .
“hawaizaada” ( based on shivkar talpade ) ; the filmmaking is deliberately “unreal , ” set in a world of fantasy .
many farces ( “rettaivaal kuruvi” , “mmkr” ) come under this category ; the situations are obviously contrived , but the execution is in a realistic style .
ram murali : i’m guessing that it would have been too obvious if they’d picked a raja tune . still , i agree — of all people , why l - p , who were hardly a presence in tamil cinema ? or was the song a hint at kovaithambi or something ?
anything meta has to be a bit self - referential ( which the raja - arr angle isn’t ) and also with a bit of abstraction between the pointer and the pointed at . that’s why i say the raja - arr track isn’t really meta — it’s just a ( very broad ) wink .
rangan , thanks for the clarification . it was after reading your reviews of jigarthanda and ktvi that i thought that i understood what would constitute “meta . ” looks like i misinterpreted it…
“with jigarthanda and kathai thiraikathai , we seem to be in the midst of a little “meta” festival , with filmmakers outside as well as inside these films offering a running commentary on the state of the industry . ”
– > so , i thought that isai was similar in that it felt like a commentary on twisted geniuses and the more humble ones…but your distinction between meta and a wink makes sense . thx .
man i was laughing out loud and clapping ! i am a little late to catch this movie i guess , but i thoroughly enjoyed it . there were a lot of lame scenes yes , but there were too many good , well - written and well - staged drama scenes that make up for them . and i thought the climax was a stroke of genius . the way he justifies all the logical flaws in one line ! this guy knows what he is writing . he seems to have closed all the loopholes with that one twist .
the next para may be offensive to some , the idea is however not to offend anyone but just to give an opinion .
regarding the navel scenes , the scenes where he explains how he has to transfer the heart etc , i did find them very silly . you very nicely put it – “you don’t have to look any further if you wondered what it’d be like if a horny , hyper - imaginative teenage boy wrote a penthouse letter . ”
— i read real naughtiness in your above line . i was actually laughing when i read that bit and got a funny stare from people around me . “you don’t have to look any further if you wondered what it’d be like if a horny , hyper - imaginative teenage boy wrote a penthouse letter . ”
i happened to see one particular song from a famous movie by a famous ‘village’ subject specialist director .
the poor heroine is made to get drenched in waterfalls with ‘only’ a very thin white saree to boot . ( like ram teri ganga . . ) here the hero ‘collects’ the water flowing through the …
oh . . i cant even write more , lest it be deemed porn .
it brings in a thought that the director brings to screen the acts which he wants to do , but cannot . he had the ways and means to do what he cannot using the puppets he can control .
there is lust in the mind , some are able to show it and some dont . there is violence in the mind , some are able to show it and some dont .
i read somewhere , that you have a violent man inside you , if you even ‘think’ of killing someone . i guess the same applies in many contexts .

when dhanush , a pantry worker , finds himself in the midst of officials , trying to save the day by averting a major crisis , his romance with keerthi suresh on top of a train travelling at 90 kmph hardly makes sense .
action sequences too , looks a tad over - the - top and the lousiness is well supported by some poor visual effects .
when all is said and done , how dhanush and keerthi survive and thrive in this hazardous situation forms the crux of thodari .
it will be an big budget action entertainer that will appeal to all sections of audiences .
