Mr.Bansali's "Guzaarish" happened about a month ago.The quality of the movie is not of any importance here because what purturbed my mind is whether there should be a certain border line between theatre and cinema.
It was after this that I happened to watch Mr.Shaji.N.Karun's much talked about "Kutty Srank" and here again what i witnessed was a world of non-personal story telling with too much of symbolic representations. The cinema lover in me is confused. I do agree with the contention that such kind of story telling creates a certain depth and graduates from a mediocre film to a film of class.But how does one devise the grammar of such a film in a manner that will get audience to the theatres?
At the end of it all,the question is,what does a good cinema mean-that it should get the bumps on the seats or that it should create a world of depth and create the effect of reading a Gabriel Marquez book?
I am still looking for the answer.
