Malikapuram

Malayalam movie streaming on HotStar

I saw Malikapuram yesterday. Experienced divinity. Not very sure if  Swami Ayyapan was able to invoke it, but the innocence of a child, her unshakeable belief in the lord, and the bliss she experienced on being able to reach the sanctum sanctorum and getting the Darshan was sheer exhilaration!!! You are bound to have goosebumps.

After seeing the movie, I had a blissful night's sleep after a long long time.

Just like Swami Ayyapan whose followers are across religions, here is a movie for everyone who still cherish good old values.

Take a bow, Deva Nanda for being as lovely as you were in the movie.

The Fabelmans

Exploring A mother's infidelity

Spielberg's choice of subjects makes him versatile and at the same time reflects an earnest human being within. It gives insights into his persona. 

The film is a semi-autobiographical story loosely based on Spielberg's adolescence and first years as a filmmaker.

I went with certain expectations to see The Fabelmans, and since I had not read anything about it, I was initially disappointed. 

It took several hours to sink and then the movie started growing.

Wonder how many of us would have the courage to explore the troubled lives of our parents, especially a mother’s infidelity 

Spielberg does it beautifully and does not pass any judgment. 

His evolution as a filmmaker in the movie seemed to be less interesting and probably less convincing!!! 

Spielberg had conceived the project as early as 1999, with his sister Anne writing a screenplay titled I'll Be Home. He had reservations about exploring his family's story because of concerns that his parents would be hurt, and the project was withheld for 20 years.

The film is dedicated to the memories of Spielberg's real-life parents, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg, who died in 2017 and 2020 respectively.

I am sure Spielberg will continue to surprise with his choice of subjects.
