Something else for a Change!!


My posts have concentrated more into the day to day activities of a weirdo like me... So i felt instead of continuing this degenerative process( u guyz seem to be really fed up!!) its time to liven things up(at least a bit!!)... Well let me think now...

Yesterday i watched the movie called SE7EN.... A fantastic movie... A must watch i must say.. But i think all of you might have watched it more than once by now... Kevin Spacey who plays the role of the John Doe who is responsible for all the gory murders of the "sinners" plays a small but very influential part in the movie... He appears only for the last 30 mins or so but the dialogues that he delivers in the car to the detectives will surely make people think... The way he plays mind games on Detective Mills is rather ingenious... The climax though was rather predictable... I felt from the very beginning that Tracy would come to some harm or the other... But Tracy's character seems rather irrelevant to the movie.. She hardly makes an appearance in the movie but her significance is suddenly revealed in the climax... Morgan Freeman to has done a neat job in the movie playing the detective who is on the verge of retirement...

John Doe's character is the one that makes you think... Did he the right thing by murdering all those people?? At times you tend to side with him particularly when he explains the professions of the "sinners" he murdered ruthlessly... You actually feel that he' s done the right thing when he has got the society rid of a lawyer who protects criminals from the law n the disease spreading whore as he puts it... Of course they are those sort of people for whom one would vouch for... But you begin to realise soon that Doe is a person who seems to have taken the law into his hands... The truth is that he enjoys killing people and he accepts it without any ado... He loves killing his victims and he does that without any sort of mercy...

Anyways it was a movie that surely makes you think of society and related issues.. A masterpiece... Remember the 7 deadly sins... GLUTTONY...GREED...PRIDE..LUST..SLOTH..WRATH...ENVY....

You commit any of those mentioned above... You never know... There might be another Doe waiting for you!!!

machaa.....
read ur entry...blog was good,movie...great!...
me too had seen it last year...

anyways..
there is one incident i remember concerning seven...

tht was during our GDPI classes which i enrolled for in IMS last sem..

sir gave us vague topics to JAM on...tht included many topics such as "tables and chairs", "pink pyjama on the sofa", "love-a

three letter word" and lots more...
but the best one was "LPG is all Gas"!!!..
we all interpreted and expanded it in differnt ways using our imagination as...
Lots of Parental Guidance is all Gas(useless),
Linux Programmers Guide is all Gas(blunder), some petroleum gas fundas and so on....

but actually it stood for some management funda where G stood for Globalisation and rest arrund same meaning.....
but, the real thrilling part was when another ne of our teacher Mr.Rajat Dave who was watching us jamming... stood up after

all of us finished and said he too wanted to try it.....

tell u daaa...

the way he connected SE7EN with tht was superb...
For him...

'L' stood for "Lust",'P' for "PRIDE","G" for "GREED/GLUTTONY" and 'Gas' for "God abandoned sins"...

is'nt it great?..
he started giving a stunning speech on the movie...
we all remained spellbound till the end....
may be thts wat you call "thinking out of the box" or "the power of imagination"......

So, the nxt time if it its ur chance some where... try speaking about the movie and feel the excitement grow.... :-)

love,

manu
