Hi all,
This saturday had a biiig dilemma. I had 3 movies to choose from in Ilford cineworld...
Pokkiri Vs Alwar Vs Apocalypto
Going on previous experience in a similar scenario .. i decided to go to apocalypto .. only time will tell if i made the right decision!
Apocalypto is the best mayan movie i have ever seen .. as a matter of fact .. it might be the only mayan movie i may ever see (unless mel gibson wants to film 'apocalypto 2 - The return of Jaguar paw') ... The movie is not for the squeamish .. but having played violent / ultraviolent video games before,and having watched japanese films like 'ichi the killer', the violence on screen didnt shock me that much. (ripping hearts, testicles out , etc). I am not going to bore you with much of the story...but i can tell you that it is a movie which made me realise how we humans take basic things for granted (water, food, health, staying alive, etc) .. when it was such a struggle for our ancestors.

well You made the right decision! here's what someone who watched Alwar had to say :
-- I got a mail forward! --
Hey ppl....
I am back to my normal senses after two days of thalai vali after watching our very own ultimate star ajithkumar's AALWAR....!! super padam...is an understatement !! me and malai only went for the movie...there was so much crowd for the first day that we got tickets in the counter itself..!! when the movie started there were hardly 4 ppl per row...appove slight'ah doubt vanthuchi !! ajith entry vantha udane doubt confirm aiduchu..appove malai veetukku poiralamnu sonnan...naan thaan kekkale !!
antha mathiri oru entry namma captain vijayakanth kuda yosichirukka mattaru !! aiyoooooooooo......and the entry cud easily be the funnies part in the movie !! 3 ppl will be killed ...and there will be a witness as well..when the witness is questioned about how the murderer looked like...he answers "ram (vishnu's avatharam) thaan kolai pannaru..naan nalla pathen raam thaan kolai pannaru"..and zoooooommmm ....there is ajith standing in RAM getup....with bow in one hand and pistol in another with blue paint all over his body !!! (there is a huge sound in the theatre ...it didnt sound like claps..etho transformer vedicha mathiri irunthuthu ...patha ajith fans ellarum spot'le gali)
Oru rendu nimisham onnume theriyale...orre irutta irunthuthu enakku ...!!!! ajith next krishna getup ..narakasuran getup ellam pottutu poi kolai pannuvaru...vishnu getup thaan super... pullangulal in one hand and pistol in another...wow...!! whenever they show asin u can b rest assured that there will b a mokkai song in a few minutes !! vivek comedy athukku mela mokkai !! The story is extraordinary..!! The villain destroys hero's family...and hero takes revenge (Yaaaawnn !!!!) yaarume ithukku munnadi intha mathiri oru story yosichirukka mattaanga !!
Finally the movie ends (appada...god saved me) with the dialogue "enakku nadantha kodumai yaarukkumey nadakka kudathu"...I was really moved by the dialogue ...whcih is the only reason why i am sending out this mail...enakku nadantha kodumai yaarukkumey nadakka kudathu..thayavu seidhu aalwar poster kuda pathudatheenga !!!!!!
-- End of review!
And I liked Telugu Pokkiri better.. so better watch that first!
Apocolypto.. is a good movie.. i too watched it on Jan.. even before it got into indian theaters :).. it was a cruel but good movie.. Mel gibson always used to produce movies like this..
