A movie for thought

Rating: 5/10 (5 April 2015)

This is a pretty hard movie to classify; I see so many poor reviews that I felt compelled in a way to write this.
Before we go into what Art is "or what the real Art as pictured in the film" is; and for those many who tell this movie is bullshit, so is Picasso to me- however I have just enough commonsense to realize that what I cannot comprehend, is not necessarily bullshit. If for a few seekers, a work uncovers, a hidden truth that they can immediately correlate to, then that according for me is Art. Sunflowers looked like an 'great' painting to me, but without any love, or impression till one day I saw in it, the whole vitality and vigor of life. Many would as easily co-relate to The Scream.
There are many who will get a headache watching Sutter Island; many a normal, happy go lucky person would rather watch any junk super hero flick that that,given a chance. But for some the movie will be riveting. I would any day be that happy go lucky 'shallow fool', that the critics will label, than carry the burden of understanding; The movie is neither bad or good; neither the person shallow or deep. It is just the perspective you see that in.
There is an angle to this movie that may resonate in millions; to appreciate it better, you have to be slightly oldish, having a pretty good 'career',but deep inside, you have the nagging doubt that somewhere along the line, you have made the choice, for the accrual of wealth or power. Well the movie is a tad tedious, but such a life is too, which it aims to portray. All movies are not necessary just to entertain.
Then there is another angle to this movie, ridiculing commercial films, super hero stuff, that has become mainstream movie already. Since this ridiculing is the Art in this film, it is enjoyable and well presented; super-hero films are so popular now, maybe because we have become as vulnerable as children. Cinema is just a projection of human wants, all the range from porn to this; and so you have it a work by the humans for the humans; it is hard to put a number and rate it; it is sometime a genre of its own; and so I rate it in the middle .
