We use Oxygen, Baby uses Music


My favourite genre of movies is 'Musicals'. But, I have watched so many good musicals that I realised they have become repetitive. There are only 2 types:
Either the songs in the movies are used as symbolic themes to the plot/theme of the movie like 'Rockstar'(FYI, Ranbir Kapoor is GOD).
OR
The characters just sing out the story or what they are feeling like 'La La Land'(or any other Hollywood musical)

But, in 2017, the nerd-god 'Edgar Wright' made a movie which redefined the genre of musicals. That movie is 'Baby Driver'.
This movie basically says, "hey guys, we know you guys like to watch good movies with good music. So, let's just have a lead character who listens to music all the time. This way, the movie will be more entertaining and you will get to listen to the songs wholly".
And I just love this idea.

'Baby Driver' is that kind of a movie which you can watch a 100 times and still not be bored by it. What makes this movie so special? Let's begin:

1) Music, Music and Music :
The whole movie is filled up with music. Baby has different ipods with separate playlists for different moods. And I just effing love that.

 
It's like Edgar had his favourite songs in his mind and he wrote an entire movie around them. And as a result, we are blessed with the best movie playlist EVER. So, watch the movie and enjoyyy.

2)Choreographed acting/editing:
Like I said, the movie is filled with music. But, Edgar went ahead and did another awesome thing.
The actors in the movie ACT according to the beats of the music playing. Sounds awesome, right? Just watch the movie and you will know how awesome it looks.
Examples are:
a)Doc putting down the bundle of notes on the beats of the song.
b)Buddy and Darling shooting guns on the beats of the song.
And hundreds of other times. Basically, the whole movie.


3) Visuals:
The word 'cool' can be used to tell the temperature of a thing or it can be used to describe something awesome.
And I'm sure that this slang of the word 'cool' was invented to describe movies like 'Baby Driver' because this is the coolest movie I've ever seen. Below are a couple shots which are enduring and stay even after the movie is over:
a)The shot of feet when they listen to music

 
b)Car chase scene

 
 This coolness also makes it the most stylish movie.


Basically, it is the coolest and most stylish movie I've ever watched. So, if you're not hyped up after reading the above things then, may God help you!!!
And if you are hyped up, then yayyy, I've succeeded. Just comment below and let me know how you liked it.

PS : If you do decide to watch this movie, then get ready to hear the sickest remix of 'Was he Slow?'.



Bro Out.

Bukowski’s Post Office

  Anybody who writes, writes for a reason. There is something they want to communicate, some thing or some image that they want the world to have of them. They have a personal thing/agenda/philosophy that they want to put out in the world. Forget professional writers, even a random person on Instagram sharing a story or a reel on his/her/(hundred other pronouns that exist nowadays) profile has something personal to share with the people that follow him/her/(etc).   Charles Bukowski seems like an exception. At first instance, he might come across as a pessimistic, 'world-is-gonna-end', 'I-hate-everyone' kind of a writer who wants people to perceive him as a Dostoyevsky-type of a guy.  But no, he is just writing to write. He is just smoking to smoke. He is just working to work. He is just drinking to drink. He is just earning money to earn money. He is just eating to eat. He is just having sex to have sex.  He is sailing through life because he is sailing through life....

Premam - The Good Things

Making a good romantic movie is a very difficult job. The story is always going to come across as a cliché because at the end of the day, it is always going to be boy-meets-girl...wait.. it can be boy-meets-boy or girl-meets-girl (Don't wanna offend THE community). So, the story is always going to be person-meets-person, person falls in love with person, and the stuff that happens before falling in love and after falling in love. Boring, isn't it? So, how do you make the movie interesting and engaging despite the banal story?  Well, watch this movie called "Premam" and you will know how. Premam has kind of the same story but the director takes this story and focuses on the story-telling. The Director, by the way, his name is "Alphonso Puthren". I have watched his movies so many times that I kind of think I know him personally. So, I'll call him "Alfie". To give a generic review of 'Premam', the movie is awesome. The story, the mu...

Boy 'wins' a girlfriend

If a bunch of nerds sat in a room and decided to make a movie, they would make something very similar to "scott pilgrim VS the world". This is one of the most unique/weirdest/best movies I've ever seen. I mentioned nerds because this movie is directed by the nerd-god himself, 'Edgar Wright' (Read his name with a british accent). He has directed only 6 movies and all of them fall under my list of favourites. But, this is about "scott pilgrim VS the world". Until this movie came out(2010), Edgar wasn't the nerd-god. He was just an acclaimed filmmaker. But, this movie made him the nerd-god because this movie is based on a graphic novel series and he made sure that he put below things in the movie: -Michael Cera (duh....the most-loved actor by nerds) - awesome rock songs, - video game themes, - best fight sequences, - Girls with bangs on their forehead, and if you're a nerd, you obviously like the above things. I know I like them🤷🏻‍♂️(Ple...
