From www.manakkudiyan.com :
Just came out of INOX Theater after watching Bruce Willis’s Die Hard 4.
Mouth is murmuring ‘John McClane… McClane!’ and a question rises inside – “Die Hard 4, is it Good or bad?”
Some one may ask me tomorrow – “how was the movie? Good or not good?” Whether it was good or bad was only to me. There were hundreds of people watched the movie in the theater with me. Each and every one will have their own points and opinions, their own like and dislikes about the movie. What they liked in the movie and what I liked in the movie may differ. It may not match.
I watched Matrix-1 and attracted with Morpheus’s character and powerful voice and the friend who watched with me liked agent smith and trinity. Two of my friend watched ‘I-robot’; one did not like the movie and other become fond of the dialogue ‘My father has created me with a purpose’. Same movie, same theater and two different opinions! What scene or dialogue I liked and the other one liked will be different.
Their answer about ‘movie is good or not good’ will not suit me and the same is the case for my answer to them. How can I conclude about movie is good or not good?
I remember even after coming out of the theater ‘Gabbar Sing’ of Sholay was in me. ‘Neelambari’ character of ‘Padayappa’ was there with me for two days. ‘Sithan’ was making those animalistic movements even after watching ‘ Pitha mahan’. There was a lingering question ‘ Neenga Nallavaraaa kettavaraaa ? Theriayalayeppa !’ two days after watching Maniratnam’s ‘ Nayagan’.
‘ Ayyaaa…unga sambalam yevlo innu ?’ – dialogue, Pugazhendi, Aranganar and interview scenes of ‘ Mudalvan / Nayak’ are there still in the mind. The cricket team of ‘ Lagaan’ is still there in the mind. The same is the case with ‘ Chennai – 600028’. The ‘Anita’ character of ‘ 7G Rainbow colony’ is not going out from me. “ ilaaa ilaaa ilaaaa’ dialogue and the uncouth villain of ‘ Vettaiyadu vilaiyadu’ is still sitting in the mind. “ Taprish Aalam’ of “Apaharan’ was there with me at least for a week.
“ Ulley Po” is still making a sound inside from ‘ Badshaa’. There was a change in the way I drove in the road after seeing ‘Die hard 4’. There was an impact on me by the ‘McClane’ character. I got it. The character or story or some thing of the movie should linger in me at least for a day or two. If it is lingering in me, it is a good movie. It has to be in me for a day or two. What I like in the movie and what you like in the movie will be different. But if the movie is lingering in me for a day or two after I stepped out of theater, it is good movie.
‘John McClane… I am coming …’.
