Lots of people like to write reviews and do write.... here's the magic art of feeling the heart of the film.

"Some people watch movies to escape life, while a few watch them to understand life better"I prefer the latter.

Watching a movie is like have a peek into a persons life. So like watching be aware that you are previledged to travel into the life a charachter. To understand their lives, meet their familes,  their emotions and in the process learn or unlearn ur lessons.

think of it like this : if a camera were to be placed on ur life ur fears, trials , joys and tears...then edited into 2 1/2 hour  film....it would be an emotional joureny of sorts....and if a veiwer would comment " i did not like the face....she does not look pretty"....Its a pity beacuse that viewer has missed and oppurtunity to be a part of ur life. To learn and be happy with u...

So look at a film as a journey which will help u move ...emotionally and reach new heights.

the challenge here is to enter into the soul of the film and travel along with the charachters . Do not be  a passive viewer who comments from the outside.

It were like somebody says i dont like the orange painting on ur wall...that person does not know it was done by a little blind kid...and the emotional value attached to it. Its the same when ur are just a veiwer analysing a film as an outsider u miss out the hidden value.

That screen is a window for u to travel to a new place, a new set of people or a new emotion..soak it in like a sponge. Only then pick ur pen.

James, its quite nice to see that there are ppl like u who like to read between the lines rather than just comment superficially. movies have so much inspired me and it is 'the' most critical aspect for me to identify myself with different cultures of varied societies. But reading todays critics reviews & thghts on any particular film is quite demeaning. They just are adamant to criticise every thing, they take every film on personal level. just bcoz they dont like a particular actor or director they paint the whole film in bad taste.
