En del av mitt hjärta (2004)
A beautiful and poignant film....
I found this film while voting for the Cloud 9 Short Film Festival, and for that I am glad. This independent film by Johann Brisinger is one of the most poignant and heart-tugging short films I have ever seen. The story is beautifully written and shot, capturing the emotion and mood of the film. There is minimal dialogue, but that is perfect for a film like this, where the expression says everything. It starts out with the boy going through the everyday motions, but escalates to something so much deeper: the justification of life. You will be intrigued and touched by this story of a boy's journey to meet two strangers and their self-discovery. 10 stars.
Baadshah (1999)
Great comedy, one of my favorites of King Khan!
Well, right now I'm upset. I felt like watching a 90's Bollywood movie today, and could not find my one of my favorites: Baadshah. Maybe I am biased because my favorite actor is in this movie, but let's face it, this is a role that was practically custom-made for him to play, and the supporting cast (Twinkle Khanna and Johnny Lever) have great chemistry with him.
Baadshah is a wonderful mix of comedy and drama, and is good for lighthearted fun, although the plot becomes rather fast-paced nearing the end of the movie and some may find it hard to keep up (although I first saw this movie when I was about 10 and I had to read the subtitles, and I followed it fine, so.......) The songs are pretty good, one of my favorites being "Woh Ladki Jo Sab Se", the scene in which Raj- "Baadshah" (Shah Rukh Khan) first starts his job to con Seema (Twinkle Khanna). The movie also plastered with comedic slapstick-type scenes,strongly represented in the scenes where Baadshah upturns his house to convince Seema that he is blind. I feel these are not overdone (though they had the potential) because of the clever lines also sprinkled in between scenes.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a fun, funny Bollywood movie with great songs, good comedy, and talented actors.
Now if only I could find that movie again............
