Faraaz (2022)
Not a bad movie
Firstly a message to my Bangladeshi brethren... can you please calm down about Bangladeshi police speaking Hindi. What exactly were you guys expecting... that they would speak shudh Bangla .. and us people in South India would magically understand it? That's the best you can think of to thrash this film? Jeez! You guys need to grow up.
I can empathize with your anger about the film maker trying to whitewash Faraaz's role. I'm a neutral guy in a corner of south India and hence can buy your argument about lack of evidence about whether Faraaz was truly a hero. But this is where I again want to call our common cultural background from the Indian subcontinent...I think it is highly stupid of us to expect our film industry to be truthful to history when the real torch bearers of history themselves aren't. Many movies of Indian historical incidents that are so totally distorted. Rani Padmavat. That wasn't even a real character. And yet there was a huge controversy in India over it... all because some Bollywood director thought he was given the duty of educating us about history. Take our Bollywood movies with a bag of salt... and keep the perspective that this is only a movie. You guys have enough things to bow your head about how things transpired with the traitors in your country post independence. When you can live with that... this is small fry.
The Wonder (2022)
Pretentious
An empty, boring movie with a needlessly sombre music track forcefully fitted in for no good reason. If not for my lousy habit of sitting through to the end of any movie that i start watching, I should have abandoned watching this movie a long time back. Some scenes went totally over my head. Why was the nurse pricking herself and letting blood every now and then. And the journalist character and their initial physical relationship.... what was that all about and why ? And the combination of a nurse and nun ? Didn't make sense to me.
There are better movies and better uses of your 90 minutes.
Lost in Translation (2003)
Oscar? For this trash?
Can't think of a more dumb movie in recent times. Juvenile jokes based on every Japanese stereotype. Oh you poor guys can't pronounce "r" like us? How sad! Oh look how much more advanced we Americans are!
Looking at the number of 10/10s that reviewers have given, I feel it is my duty to give this movie a 1/10 and do my bit to bring its rating down. I hope the rest of you can also join me and do your duty to bring the rating down for this trash of a movie.
