Godfather (1972)

The movie God Father needs applauds from the beginning till the end. The beginning scene at the wedding shows the power of the Don Vito Corleone, which is an absolutely alluring to watch. This movie excels in everything. the drama is enticing throughout the movie and kept on building the story.

The character Vito Corleone is the most powerful, lovable character on the screen. Even his son Michael plays an important role. But Vito Corleone being the don has his own ethics and principles which he gives more importance to is shown in the movie is definitely one of the reasons that we have to love his character. The directing by Coppola was perfect as well. Not many movies can be 3 hours and yet maintain a good level of interest from the audience like The Godfather. Coppola deserves credit for this. The symbolism and messages that went into every scene also has to do with the directing not just the writing. The movie is so well edited and strung together that the only word that could come to my mind is perfection.

Transformation of the main character from the beginning till the end is not always well executed but in this movie we have that essence. We can see Michael’s character change; Michael isn’t the same person he is at the end of the movie; we can see how the series of events that takes place in his life lead him to become what he is at the end of the movie.

The cinematography of The Godfather is dark and tasteful, and colours are used perfectly to give a true feel of the era it is set in. The music is perfect, the score of this movie is one of the most memorable ever. If you were to hear it, you could identify it right away.

This movie is brilliant, ageless and a classic; nobody can miss this movie and nobody should miss this movie, highly recommended to all age groups in the different parts of the world.

Verdict: 4.5/5.

Pulp Fiction (1994)- A Fan Boys Masterpiece

This movie combines those elements to make a classic. In terms of directing he shows a new innovative method, where he shows different scenes not chronologically, like pieces of a puzzle for us to join. Screen writing we got to learn from Tarantino, he certainly has put effort into making the dialogues keen thirsty. It’s interesting to follow the characters talk and for no moment we lose any interest. Scenes where Jules and Vincent are driving towards their targets house, makes them appear simple guys who enjoy a good conversation.  And as they enter the house they change their character into becoming someone who is very intimidative. We come to know now that they were working for Marsellus Wallace and they do his dirty work for him, Upto to this point we did not expect this which is definitely a perfect intro into the movie.
Because it doesn’t follow the traditional approach of story-telling, it shows scenes of different time-line which builds up the climax. The scene where marsellus Wallace looks at butch as he passes by, is a direct scene from Psycho. This movie combines those elements to make a classic.

The scene where marsellus Wallace looks at butch is a direct scene from Psycho. Some say the story began from the watch which butch gets as he was a child, but that’s not possible as it’s just a flashback of his memory. The violent scenes won’t put any impression onto anyone, they aren’t violent per se. the violent scenes are enjoyable as Tarantino  as it’s just a flashback of his memory. The violent scenes won’t put any impression onto anyone, they aren’t violent per se. The violent scenes are enjoyable as Tarantino tries to find humour throughout the movie.
Viewer discretion is advised, many adult scenes,violence including abusive language can be impressionable for non adults.
My verdict for this movie is 4.5/5.

My love for football will never die.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you it’s much more serious than that. -Bill Shankly.

Football is a sport that has united countries during the brink of war. It has more members than the united nations. And the biggest religion on the planet, isn’t a religion. The only thing that has more fans than Facebook. In a country which is populated with 1.2 billion citizens, and they can’t form a team, I still fell in love with football. A game played with passion, joy and love. Nobody can explain why they love football; you just need to experience it.

One of the most important things football has taught me is to never give up. Doesn’t matter how hard we fall when we play, these are bound to happen; if it doesn’t happen we can never learn to pick ourselves up when we are down and broken. Isn’t that what makes us a winner. The happiest moments in our lives aren’t when we win all the time but in getting up and rising every time we fail. And the greatest part of football is it builds our confidence. When I first played football I was scared, I was scared of the ball hurting me. But after taking a few hits, I learned it’s not bad as I thought and slowly I got confidence to even control the ball. It’s like this; we never know what we can do unless we try it, and if we try again and again we succeed don’t we!

I had a family on the ground when I used to play football, we came from different backgrounds and the first day we played together we did not like each other. But when the opponent attacks we have to unite despite our indifference's because  only in being united we can survive. Football teaches us that team work is stronger and put it to great use we even can break walls because we know each other and we don’t play for ourselves but for all of us together. 

The reason my love towards football will never die is because of my passion towards it. Passion should always be applauded, it’s the most important feeling! It makes you feel alive. My passion is anything that gets my blood racing. And isn’t our passion what keeps us going and reminds us that we are humans. People with great passion can achieve the unpredictable and make the impossible happen. Everyone in this universe must hold on to their passion it’s what gives oxygen to your soul, reminds you of who you are, instils hope within you. So Never let that passion die out. The moment its gone within you, that means you are dead from the inside.

 P.S: Playing football when it rains is experiencing heaven on earth and there is no feeling comparable to it. It’s definitely one of the must do things before you die.
