Persepolis

Did you manage to catch this movie recently? Yes? - tussi great ho !
No - he ! he ! he ! go get a life then buster !!

I mean, how could anyone who claims to be cinema-lover miss this one? At the risk of sounding immodest.... what the heck...no risk-visk... immodestly speaking - I am a better connoisseur of cinema than you, in case you have willingly chosen not to watch this movie.

Its an animated movie. Its even more surprising that it made it to the theatres in India. Oh I am so glad am living in Bangalore. Its the perfect city for arts and culture... am loving every moment. I just wait for the weekends to catch a play or an exhibition or a concert or a book reading.... its only this weekend that I stayed at home for two full days doing nothing... absolutely nothing. he he !! There is a reason for that.

Oh this film is about rebellion... oh did I tell you about 'rebels' story of my life... ummmm...no I have not... ok I have to write about it sooner or later. Its about the 'rebel' in me and how my search for a fellow 'rebels' who turn out to be as boring and as hypocritical and as orthodox and as predictable as any stereotype would be. Whew ! Its about gradually being conscious of the rebel in me, then somewhere down the line loosing touch with it, my battles with normalcy and the resulting chaos that I created in my relationships,... blah blah... and such boring stuff !!! he he !!! Oh if you are thinking of the rebel as the commonly understood meaning of the term, then you are way off the mark... I have a different definition of what being a rebel is.... its not about doing things against the society, but communicating to the society.... hmmm... well wait for that post....

The last time I had given a short preview of a topic that I wanted to write about but was not getting the guts to write about - I ended up writing it ( the receptionist blog, about the females ). So this too is a way of ensuring that I do write about this topic too. I will... lets see how I finish it.

Oooh !! Do not forget to catch this movies as soon as you can. It was a really good effort. Won many awards... check it out on the net. Persepolis is directed by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. A girl's take on the life in Iran during the upheavels ! A political satire, a dark and grim reminder... fantastic creativity.
