Teen Adventure

Only few films are timeless and Seven Samurai is one of them. You can watch trip to the moon and respect it but it is dated. Seven Samurai is not dated and never can be! It is a timeless masterpiece.

Not a review but my admiration for the movie. There is a shot in the movie where everyone is celebrating Gangubai , in the background her poster is on a movie poster . It's a beautiful , impactful shot as it implies that ganga may not have become a movie star but has become something bigger than that. This film is many things , it is about the dark history of prostitution, a personal journey of a woman who was betrayed by her lover, a failed attempt of a woman to find love , the difficulty of woman, a fight against the society. But what i find interesting is the journey and transformation of ganga to gangu. How gangu from a innocent film loving girl "Ganga" became a face of not prostitution but representation of woman's struggles. I love how they refer to ganga as another person as she died the day she lost her " dignity" as society refers. The speech beautifully explains the topic of losing dignity or virginity. Gangu explains she doesn't lose in one night like others. She gains it everyday. Sanjay Leela Bhansali doesn't assign some over the top toxic male villains. The scale is organic. From a toxic, violent man to Razia a politician to a school or as the school represents a blind belief or old school thought if you will. At the end it's society who are the " villains" for not just gangubai but to all prostitutes and women. For this is not just the best of alia but for even Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He immersed me into the dark yet colourful movie , immersing me into the world of kamathipura but also into the journey of Gangubai Kathiawadi The use of songs is very interesting in this movie. Jhume re Gori and dholida have a similar choreography and shot in one take. The first one ends in a glimpse of hope and another ends loss of hope. In my interpretation, the song dholida takes place after the scene of gangu trying to contact her mother which ends with the loss of hope. Dholida is a visual representation of gangu trying to gain the old life which presented through her repeating the dance of jhume re Gori which has her dancing in a circle , which is shot in one take. It ends with her walking away from the celebration as it means she cannot revisit or relive her past. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Only Sanjay sir can use a song to represent a character's agony

This is a masterpiece and it 100% deserved an oscar. This film is directed by Bong joon-ho who also co- wrote the screenplay with Han jin- won. Honestly after I saw this film I can easily declare that Bong joon-ho is one of the best directors of this decade. I think the best thing about this film is that there are now 'villain' in this story , some people may argue that Mr park is the antagonist in this film but I disagree because we as viewers follow kim family and in their point of Mr park is a person who are cruel higher class people . But the truth is that kim family themself are taking advantage of park family . There are flaws in these film like forgetting to acknowledge few supporting characters at the end but what stands out in this film to get 5 stars is that this film is has a perfect direction and flawless acting by main and even supporting characters . Also, I should mention a nearly perfect script. No movie is perfect so I recommend everyone to watch parasite which was so near to be a perfect movie.
