Crude Fiction coupled with Tawdry Humour !

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2009)

In the gory aftermath of his retreat from Moscow, Napoleon Bonaparte realized the blunder committed and inexorably uttered, "There is only one step from the Sublime to the Ridiculous......". Napoleon's greatness lies in his appreciation and acceptance of his lifetime blunder which effectively exploded the myth of his invincibility.
Pirates of the Caribbean is yet another visually loaded, graphically exploited, fictional absurdity and cinematic blunder effectively transforming sublimity into utter ridicule. The special effects department and the long list of art and makeup/costume designers have virtually crafted a sore not only for the eyes but for the souls of the audience as well.
Astonishingly, crass of this kind and magnitude is winning accolades from the majority of audience, because they are left with only this type of stuff to watch. Mediocrity and shallow fiction has overwhelmed the cinema and good movies have become a distant dream. The rapidly advancing motion camera and computer aided visual technology has incapacitated the aesthetic imagination and lively, vivacious portrayal of the incumbent directors, producers and screen writers. It seems, as if their sensibility and sensitivities have reached the rock bottom of human intellect.
Screening and portraying weird, clumsy, bizarre and creepy creatures to provide cosmetic effect to the movie testifies to stumpy intellect of these film makers. If majority of the opinion poll recommends it as a great entertaining movie; even then, it cannot be established as such, because it has been time and again proved, substantiated and logically recognized that whatever comes out from the horse mouth (majority) is not always right and true.
