Memories _ My Review
Finally watched the movie #Memories starring #Prithviraj , directed by #Jeethu_Joseph...
When Prithvi and Jeethu, the actor and director with consecutive hit films, joined for a new venture, the expectations were already high and when the resultant movie too opened to highly positive response, naturally I was dying to watch it...
I never expected that I could watch it in a theater.... First of all, thanks to the managers of Seema theatre, Pathanapuram for making me watch this flick...
Coming to the film.... As I expected, Memories is really an excellent work, which can be sorted into the list of the best movies released this year....
Sam Alex, who was one of the most efficient police officers, becomes a full time drunkard after the death of his wife and daughter...but his senior officer, who wants to make him right, asks Sam Alew to investigate a sensational case....
The first half of Memories is filled with the memories of Sam Alex and him getting into the case, while the latter half is racy with intelligent sequences...
First of all, I have to mention #Prithviraj for his excellent characterization as #SamAlex... I cannot imagine anyother actor except, Prithvi in this role.... He excelled as Drunkard.... Those mannerisms of him as a drunkard investigating and finding clues were really interesting and seemed novel to me... A diametrically opposite character from Antony Moses.... Prithvi is the man, on whose shoulders, Memories lies.... There was naturality in every scene and makes the viewer involve into the character.... The emotions of a sad man and sharpness of an intelligent cop were portaryed well by Prithvi...
The next is... #Jeethu_Joseph.... The man who made Memores and Sam Alex... He wrote and directed the movie aptly without unnecessary sequences..... He directed the movie very well...those rescue operation scenes in the start and end were superb..... There was a kind of freshness in each and every scene... He has done the script of the movie too in a much interesting manner, filled with memories and findings... Those finding of clues, assumptions etc made by Sam Alex were really interesting.....kudos to Jeethu for that...
There was no lag at any time and Jeethu managed to make Memories a complete thriller.....
The reason behind killing the victims and the kind of killing etc, seemed to be new and refreshing....Bringing in certain elements of Christianity into the crime is really interesting....
Climax, even though predictable to some context, managed to be a thrilling one, with intelligent sequences...
During the chase sequence b/w Sam Alex and the killer, two men sitting near me laughed....fools, they never realise that, a full time drunkard, who is already drunk, cannot run much in the rain...
Camera work of the movie is really an appreciable one.... Action sequences were also sleek... Mafia Sasi...u rock man...
Coming to the musical section... there are two songs and both are worth hearing and are well picturised... The BGM was just good....even though it is matching the mood of the film, it could've been made much more impactive....
The idea of placing graphics in between some scenes was very good.....
The rest of the cast including Vijaya Raghavan, Vanitha, Mia, Meghna.....etc too done their parts well,. Finally, Rahul Madhav got a good film...he was also good...was matching the role as Prithvi's brother
Even though, Jeethu managed to make Memories a perfect thriller, there was no explanation for how an individual alone could commit such crimes, mainly hanging the victims in such heights......he should've made an explanation for that... Excluding that, there is nothing to be categorized as negative in the movie.....
In the whole, #Memories is an excellent family thriller, blended with all elements of family, emotions and thrill....
My rating: 8/10 ......EXCELLENT....... One of the best movies of 2013......don't miss it... Memories Never Die.....
Thanks for reading ma review.....Any mistakes should be forgiven....
