Idiot. Who would love an idiot? What more, 3 of them? I'll tell you who:
ME! I'm talking about the movie 3
Idiots, a
2009 Indian comedy-drama film, a loose adaptation of the novel Five
Point Someone
by Chetan Bhagat. It was just 2 years after its release that I
discovered this stunningly beautiful motion picture. I admit that at
first, I wasn't very willing to buy and watch the DVD because I've
never really watched Indian movies before; but I must say I'm such an idiot for thinking that because this more-or-less 3-hour movie is just absolutely
worth the time. It tells of a story of three engineering friends whose
friendship remains strong through whatever; two of them are on the
quest in finding their best friend who has been missing since their
college graduation, and recounting their college years while
traveling through a long winding road. This truly captivating,
inspiring, and entertaining movie never fails to make me laugh and
cry (or teary-eyed) every time I watch it.
From
idiocy, let me move on to a another world.
Magic. Now, who could not know of this? Of course, I'm referring to Harry
Potter,
one of the best and most successful film franchises of the time which
is based on the best-selling seven-book series authored by J.K.
Rowling. I was in Grade 1 the first time I saw the first film
together with my aunt and cousin. That time, however, I still didn't
quite understand the story and therefore did not appreciate it much. I was then in Grade 6 that I started to read the books and watch the
movies; since then, I've been a Harry
Potter
fan. The movies were very good visual representations of the books –
with a great cast and crew with their outstanding performances, a
well-written script, and well-respected directors, producer, and
distributor. I can say I have been truly bewitched by these movies.
I'm
not sure if I'm ever going to get tired of these movies, but they are
my absolute favorites.
