Update on Wednesday Nite Cinematheque

So v r now into the fifth screening of Wednesday nite cinematheque and who would have guessed that other then the first screening the following 3 had more then 1 audience (1 ofcourse being me ;)...though nething that grows has to start limiting itself by policies and so do v ours being ->
- movie will start sharp at 2230, lites will stay off till the end of the movie
- every1 is responsible 4 having fed themselves with solid liquid and gases b4 2230
- cells should b on silent mode and calls taken outside the hall
- no1 is oblidged 2 open the door after 2230, so unless u have spoken 2 somebody who is inside and ready to come and open the door ringing bell will have no affect

so going strong on the success we look back at the movies we saw so far and also announce todays movie -

Week 1 - The new world , review in the previous post

Week 2 - The inconvenient truth = ground breaking documentary by Al Gore, first time the key issues of global environmental catastrophe being addressed by some one of such a huge stature and power and the fact that he is not being booed for it but given credit (the docu won the best documentary of the year award at oscars and is the third highest grosser for docu's ever...the first 2 being Fahrenheit 9/11 and March of the Penguins - link to source of this information) shows that the end of the world as we know it is close and its obvious 2 every1, where does that leave us, people who knew about it all along...well as gore said it is not a political issue but a moral issue so this is precisely the mentality we need to rise above after all we are all in it together....
for me the most striking moment of the documentary was when gore puts forward a image from the government seminar on environment in which while on one side of the balance there is gold, the other side of the balance is the planet itself and gore is wondering "hmmm...there is this gold wow!but wait a minute if there is no planet is there any gold at all" so to sum it all up our greed has finally eaten up the planet.

Week 3 - Brazil = This was the most promising movie and week when we had maximum audience and maximum chaos, some because i postponed its screening so that we finished smoking b4 the movie and some because of unavoidable circumstances, but rest assured the movie was well received by everyone though no one could stay back for the end since it ended at 2 in the nite. This prompted us to have rules mentioned above for future screenings...

Week 4 - A short film on killing = Fed by jd's collection of over 300 classics we chose kieslowski for this is the real reason we have wednesday nite cinematheque, 2 c a simple story...here is a snippet by some one analysing terrence mallick (director of the new world)
-------
Malick's lack of interest in the causes of the characters' behaviors should not be understood as itself a moral judgment, as if their actions are in some nebulous way justified. This film is not a polemic, like Kiéslowski's A Short Film about Killing (1988). Rather, Malick's point seems to be that mere condemnation, or trying to determine the causes of their actions, essentially evades the fact that our world and values sometimes are unable to deal with certain human possibilities.
-------
So four weeks on we are deep into cinema...

Week 5 - Happiness = People want to c comedy but there is not a great amount of comedy in the cinematic artistic world and we cant blame art for it after all it is the reflection of the world we live in, guess there must be something deeply sad in our world or maybe entertainment is so highly exploited in our society that its earned a bad name, neways i spent some time (maybe like 5 minutes) looking for a comedy and this one has good reviews in rotten tomatoes so catch u guys tonite for a funny evening...
