Weekend Trivia
What a weekend ? Purely due to the only fact of trying to buy something so badly, and spending nearly 6 hours on the trot for two days consecutively and all the time having the money to spend for it. The thing that I wanted so badly was a broadband package. I was really surprised when in a technologically developed country like Australia, I was informed by the Dodo internet customer service that it would take nearly 10 - 21 days for the broadband connection to be activated. What a shame ?
Most of my weekends have been pretty lacklustered so far, with movies or books to keep me company with the odd photo shoot sometimes. This weekend has been interesting so far, in the sense that I managed to finish the books Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and The da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I also bought a DVD of my favorite three movies of Kamalhassan - Anbe Sivam, Aaalavandhan and Virumaandi. I feel that Anbe Sivam should have been more universally accepted at the box office, although Kamal is not an actor to care much about the box office as much he cares about critical accolades. Sometimes we get the view that he does his roles because he is a consummate actor who can really stand up and say that he chooses as he deems that right and not be overtly bothered by popular cine antics ?
In Anbe Sivam, there a lot of interesting characters who have their own moments in the movie, Santhaanabarathy during the last scene, when he lets go of Kamal to live, Uma Kamesh - especially in the scene in the projector room when she finally understands the relationship between Nallasivam and Bala. That one look from her conveys the total disappointment and despair inside her - many people had missed this, when the whole emphasis was on Bala crying it out to Nallasivam.
Actually, there is a scene following that exchange between Nallasivam and Meher where she makes him known that she had been in love with him for the last four years and also why the character Pavun kunju accompanies him to the fateful trip. When I watched the movie in Coimbatore before coming to Melbourne, the exchange between Nallasivam and Meher was not shown. Only this DVD that I bought today had it.
I had seen an interview of Uma with Yugi Sethu, I have forgotten the name of the show, but it was an interview where she displayed the multiple talents that she has. We know of models - face models, full suit models, bikini models, but Uma is a hand model. Her hands are those which appeared in Prince Jewellery along with gold bangles. She has also done hand modelling for various soaps. The next time you see something like that, it might be her. Uma also has quite an interesting voice talent, she mimics the voice of her mother Kamala Kamesh to an ultimate extent.
Anbe Sivam was inspired from the English movie - Planes, Trains and Automobiles starring Steve Martin, but only the Nallasivam - Anbarasu part has been taken from the Planes.. The rest is all vintage Kamal.
