Comments on: A to Z of Films Meme (S) Preface http://skeptic.skepticgeek.com/2009/06/09/a-to-z-of-films-meme-s-preface/ ...reason and emotion, shaken and stirred...

Yes, though it did take some effort to create an index page, I thought it would help everyone. :) Yes, you did share this about Shantataa...before - on Nita's review post on Mee Shivajiraje Bhosle Boltoy. You are damn lucky! I was only able to catch the film, that too, only once. :-( In Mumbai, the Chhabildas School started the revolution in drama, like FTI in Pune did it for films. By the time I grew up, the NCPA was the greatest. Watching Dilip Prabhavalkar act was an unforgettable experience. Vijay Tendulkar - I have no words. A genius. Thank you.

I just returned to it to add films to my queue and the page made it very easy. Thank you. Did I tell you I watched 'Shantataa court chaloo aahe' as a stage play when I was a very young child? Many years later I saw the film with Sulabha Deshpande. It might have taken me a few years to comprehend the story in its entire profundity but I do think Vijay Tendulkar was a master dramatist. Nehru Centre here puts up reasonable music performances but theatre isn't their forte. Which is such a shame, really. Mahendra:

Not only the child actors, but everyone has played their part very well, and Mira Nair has a unique touch. Re: Slumdog: :-D It is a very powerful film.

I still don't understand why this movie is so under-appreciated. Mira Nair deserves more accolades. Slumdog Millionaire feels like a fake copy of Salaam Bombay to me. Bombay is such a diverse city. It's difficult for a movie director to do justice....yet, Mira Nair weaves her magic. :) So glad that I found someone who enjoyed Salaam Bombay– this is such a disturbing movie…on so many levels.

Don't know about The Shout or Sangre. I might add Sátántangó to our list based on its reviews. Prax, thanks a lot for all these recos!

I like the way you start your posts... I was surprised not to see Schindlers list and Shawshank redemption earlier, but now I know that you were keeping the best for the end.
