The Ballad of Buster Scruggs , Streaming on Netflix

Poignant and Profound: Gladdens your heart beyond measure

After a brief theatrical release, the movie has started screaming on Netflix.

I hope this movie, definite Oscar nominations are bound to be there, will be released in theatres before the Oscar Awards in February.  Do we not deserve to savour those breathtaking landscapes on the Big Screen, especially the Sun rising in the canyon?

The pace is relaxed, the humour running almost right through, and the music so soothing. While the scenery is all poetry, the literary quality is so beautifully enmeshed, taking you far and away only to be grounded with the sudden 'O.Henryesque' jolt.

I loved the English and the verbal chatter. 

The intelligence is typical of Coen Brother's. They are able to so cleverly touch your heart and at the same time stimulate your brain, so effectively and effortlessly. 

You can smile, be saddened and may be rattled, but if you are movie lover, you just do not want to miss this, glorious anthology. 

Only for the discerning movie goer

2.0

I enjoyed 2.0. Happy to see Rajini in his elements. We don't get tired, do we?

Shankar's faithfully does a rehash of his known stories to serve mostly a predictable fare in a template he never seems to get tired  of.  I had just about a few days predicted given the blood red eyes, Akshay would have a backstory. What would then make 2.0 special?

The sheer ambition of Shankar.

The sweat and blood that has gone into the project is staggering 

and so is the commitment. To strive for world class technical standard for a regional film and than confidently launch it worldwide, is there for others to get inspired and emulate. The whole world is there for us to play around.

We can do it and the bar has to only raise from here.

I am glad that Shankar, thinks the way he thinks. Youngsters may want to get inspired and learn to think beyond the confines of their state and country.

There are thousands of stories in India waiting to be heard from all over India.

Imagine the possibilities, we could have American kids playing with dolls who are characters right out of India. Even children in India may stop seeing Mickey Mouse or Tom and Jerry!!!
