Jim Morrison - Quotes

1.  Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs

2. Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free..

3. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.

4. I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown

5. There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors

6. I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something..

7. I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments

Movie Mania

The last one month has been quite good on the movie watching front. I seem to be liking every movie i see. From Rab ne bana di jodi, Mamma Mia, City of God, Quantum of Solace etc . etc..

But two movies definitely stand out and will linger on in my mind for sometime....

Vaaranam Aayiram :

This movie narrates the bonding between a father and his son from the latter's perception.

The story takes us through the various stages in the hero's life and the multitude of emotional gamut he undergoes. The movie is a celebration of fatherhood, a bond often ignored by the film industry in favor of tear-jerkers featuring hapless mothers.

I havent personally experienced paternal love in my life but this movie surely gave me insights into that aspect of life which i missed. It definitely gave me pointers on how a good father should be.

It touches you deep inside and brings forth several emotions at once. The emotions, love, passion and motivations in the movie make it a treat to cherish.

Slum Dog Millionaire:

This movie is entertaining, in a very different sense. Clothed with seriousness and humor at critical junctures, the movie is unpredictable. Danny Boyle packages the plight of two Mumbai orphans and their quest for survival into a pulse-pounding game show format . Through the experiences of these children we witness some aspects of Indian culture which we conveniently tend to ignore. It really is incredible to see these little bright and shining faces thriving despite the poverty and crime that surrounds them.

Set on the streets of Mumbai, Slumdog is a riot of colour, energy and mischievous fun - in short, a perfect movie to start of a decidedly dreary New Year. It's unexpected and even incongruous to the story but in hindsight seems the perfect way to end the uplifting tale of a young man's ascent from India's slums to a contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." The staple Bollywood end-of-the-movie dance is a a nice nod to the tradition.
