Celebrating Xmas

"Merry Christmas" to all. This is the time when the whole world is holidaying, not being much of an exception from the whole world I am also enjoying the season. I celebrated Christmas with a day long movie roll, halting only while answering natural needs of input and output. My friend Jaga' was preparing a list from IMBD for this extravaganza and the extra space was sorted out for the respective downloads. After quitting our quilts not very early in the morning, performing the needs and working out on the incoming and outgoing SMS and a couple of "birthday wishes we started off the session. The first thing, seal the windows(not working on ventilators, the room doesn't have any) not allowing any form of light inside the living room cum Theater hall.

The first one was, "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind"... about stumbling, loving and a sci-fi touch.All mixed together to create a twisted-romantic script that very well delivered by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Its about a relationship between Joel(Jim) and Clementine(Kate) which turned sour and they separated. But Miss goes a step ahead and erases all her memories with Jim. Unknown Jim met her the other day and was surprised at her irrational behavior, goes to the root and discovers that she had erased him off her mind. Jim being a emotionally withdrawn man thinks to do the same, erase her out of his head. Much of the movie is around the memory erasing process where he tries to hide her memories from being erased. Meanwhile another parallel story comes up resulting to which our couple end up listening their own recordings why they wanted to erase each others memories. I have spelled a lot, but I am sure you can still go ahead and watch this movie and end up loving it.


Part two, after a hefty lunch we feel sleepy and on list was "The Maltese Falcon" a 1941 vintage. Should this be bit slow and we would be dead asleep. Better not try it, the third on list was "The Machinist" it got the green light and we started. A psycho thriller.The lead role is played by Christian Bale, who is an insomniac, being chased by Deja-vu. Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale) as an industrial machinist has not slept for almost a year, owing to which he drastically loosed weight. He virtually lived in a dreamy world and behaved abnormally. At the factory his mates became skeptical about him, after some incident he was fired. He was actually haunted by an incident that took place a year ago, that has kept him from sleeping since. But now his fears of sleep has entered his day life, things became bizarrely awkward. The entire movie is about trying to fight with ones feeling of fear and guilt. So the insomniac who was trying to sleep, kept us from sleeping and watch this good movie.


Session three would be the last one for the day, had a quick dinner settled all scores and picked "Schindler's List", a Steven Spielberg's signature movie. Had won 7 Oscars in its casket. A political melodrama staged during the Nazi period. Oscar Schindler played by Liam Neeson, is an ambitious unsuccessful businessman who wanted to make business out of the war. For which he disguised himself into becoming a Nazi himself and influencing the Germans with his smart wit and strong words. Thus making huge profits, the credit of which to a large extend goes to his Jewish accountant. But Schindler ultimately saved the lives of more than 1,000 Jews by giving them jobs in his factory,in a way saving their lives from the gas chambers. Schindler lost his wealth, but earned salvation for himself. Out-n-out its an outstanding movie, my own personal favorite lines from this movie is, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire" .........Merry Christmas
