I have been watching movies almost every weekend, mostly English and Tamil. How do I conclude that the movie is good or bad? Whether I liked or dislike a movie should not be directly translated to how good or bad a movie is. Because my likes can be influenced by other factors like star cast, entertainment aspects added, music etc. So how should I go about determining the quality of a movie?
I realized that the answer is quite simple after I watched VISHWAROOPAM. Before I could reflect on whether I liked the movie or not, the movie started haunting my thoughts. The movie kept playing itself in my mind like a recurring dream. I wondered whether this is how great movies leave imprints on the audience. After I watched the movie second time in couple of days time, I was able to see another interpretation of the same movie and I liked it even more and wished that the movie would continue for some more time. Thankfully, my recurring dream persisted and I was able to experience the movie for extended time.
