‘Interstellar’ – MyView

Interstellar theatrical poster

Judge me all you can but I did not see the trailer of this movie before I actually went and watched it (which is totally unlike me). I did not even have the slightest idea if this movie existed! But now I can’t even stop thinking about it. It has jolted me left, right and center!

Christopher Nolan has left his audience speechless, yet again but this time I guess we are gonna be awestruck for a much much longer period till he hits us again! It is a long movie but every ounce of the movie seemed logical. What is still in the theories, this man wove it so intricately that it just bangs your head with “OMG! wow!” scene after scene.

The beginning was a little tricky but as the movie paces, things fall into places and makes perfect sense. The movie starts with an old lady narrating the story about her father and how there was a scarcity of resources on Earth. Her father, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA test pilot-turned-farmer still enthusiastic about controlling flying drones, decoding binary codes made by dust, almost crashing NASA headquarters and well, piloting Endurance (the spacecraft), and not to forget flying into the worm hole in search of the potential habitable planets to save the mankind. But! the glitch being that he was never meant to save the world, he was instead a sort of catalyst to help his daughter save the people! Just when you thought the story was getting predictable, Nolan smacks you with his theory of extra-dimensional where time is physical! WOAAH!

The journey is detailed and I hope this timeline designed by Dogan Can Gundogdu helps.

P.S. I think its a typo where black hole should actually be a worm hole as Gargantua is the only black hole with the tesseract in it.

The cast includes amazing performances delivered by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Mackenzie Foy and of course the voice of TARS (another sidekick after Dobby I am in love with) by Bill Irwin.

This movie is a must watch and I am awestruck by it so much that I have started rating movies as “bad”, “okay”, “good” and “interstellar” ! 😛

P.S. – Unlike me, please watch the trailer before you go to the theaters!

“Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

Here are my top 10 Favorite Dialogues from the movie Juno:

#10

Rollo: Well, well… If it isn’t MacGuff the crime dog! Back for another test?
Juno MacGuff: I think the last one was defective. The plus sign looked more like a division sign so I remain unconvinced.
[Rollo pulls the bathroom key out of reach]
Rollo: Third test today, Mama Bear. Your eggo is preggo, no doubt about it.
Another Girl: [to Juno] It’s really easy to tell. Is your nipples real brown?
Rollo: Yeah. Maybe your little boyfriend’s got mutant sperms. Knocked ya up twice.
Juno: Silencio old man! Look, I just drank my weight in Sunny-D and I gotta go pronto!
Rollo: Well, you know where the lavatory is.
[Juno heads towards the bathroom]
Rollo: [yells] You pay for that pee stick when you’re done! Don’t think it’s yours just cuz ya marked it with your urine!

#9

Su-Chin: I’m having a little trouble concentrating.
Juno: Oh well I could sell you some of my Adderall if you want.
Su-Chin: No thanks I’m off pills.
Juno: That’s a wise choice because I knew this girl who like had this crazy freak out because she took too many behavioral meds at once and she like ripped off her clothes, and dove into the fountain at Ridgedale Mall and was like, “Blah I am a Kracken from the sea!”
Su-Chin: I heard that was you.
Juno: Well, it was good seeing ya Su-Chin

#8

Vanessa Loring: Your parents are probably wondering where you are.
Juno: Nah… I mean, I’m already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?

#7

Paulie Bleeker: I still have your underwear.
Juno: I still have your virginity.

#6

Juno: I think I’m in love with you.
Paulie Bleeker: You mean as friends?
Juno: No… I mean for real. ‘Cause you’re, like, the coolest person I’ve ever met, and you don’t even have to try, you know…
Paulie Bleeker: I try really hard, actually.

#5

Juno: I’m going to really start looking like a dork soon. Will you still think I’m cute if I’m huge?
Paulie Bleeker: I always think you’re cute. I think you’re beautiful.

#4

Juno MacGuff: Hey, Dad.
Mac MacGuff: Hey, big puffy version of June bug. Where you been?
Juno MacGuff: Oh, just out dealing with things way beyond my maturity level.

#3

Juno MacGuff: As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni. And, I know that people are supposed to fall in love before they reproduce, but… I guess normalcy isn’t really our style.

#2

Juno MacGuff: I’m just like losing my faith with humanity.
Mac MacGuff: Can you can narrow that down for me?
Juno: I just wonder if like, two people can ever stay together for good.
Mac: You mean like couples?
Juno: Yeah, like people in love.
Mac: Are you having boy troubles? Because I gotta be honest with you; I don’t much approve of dating in your condition, ’cause well… that’s kind of messed up.
Juno: Dad, no!
Mac: Well, it’s kind of skanky. Isn’t that what you girls call it? Skanky? Skeevy?
Juno: Please stop.
Mac: [persisting] Tore up from the floor up?
Juno: That’s not what it’s about. I just need to know that it’s possible that two people can stay happy together forever.
Mac: Well, it’s not easy, that’s for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for 10 years now and I’m proud to say that we’re very happy.
[Juno nods]
Mac: Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.
Juno: Yeah. And I think I’ve found that person.
Mac: Yeah sure you have – your old D-A-D! You know I’ll always be there to love you and support you no matter what kind of pickle you’re in… Obviously.
[nods to her belly]
Juno: Dad, I think I’m just going to, like, shove out for a sec, but I won’t be home late.
Mac: Ok. You were talking about me right?

‘Shaadi ke Side Effects’ – MyView

Shaadi Ke Side Effects Theatrical Poster

After the historic ‘Pyaar ke side effects’ comes the sequel ‘Shaadi ke side effects’, but I rather think it should have been titled ‘Baccho ke side effects’ because their married life was sailing smoothly until the kid came along!

To be honest, I really had high hopes, which were thrashed a little, but nevertheless, it was worth seeing Farhan Akhtar *Drools* and Vidya Balan sharing the screen. The movie starts with Trisha (Vidya Balan) and Sid (Farhan Akhtar) flirting in a club, only you’ll find out later that they are actually married! Its their fantasy of meeting up as stranger and “stay in love”. Farhan Akhtar has this full-proof plan of a perfect married life, his guru-mantra being, “If it’s your fault, say sorry. If it’s your wife’s fault, say sorry”. I mean how many times have we actually gone through this joke. A LOT. Hello! We know that fact already. So, they have a fun-filled life (what every married couple wants) until they find out that Trisha is pregnant. That’s when the poor husband looses his wife and is stuck with the mother of his child.

The first half of the movie will actually make you fall of your seat (a little exaggeration here), full of drama and laugh riots! But it fails to make the same effect after the interval, then its more of the senti and drama where Sid is guilty of having an affair (Affair as stated in the movie, is anything that you do in the ‘time’ which you should have been devoted to your family, is an affair) with a much careless alter ego of himself with his flatmate (Vir Das) and parties all night (yes, he rents a PG to have ‘his own guy time’), lying to his wife that he is stuck in his studio work (he composes jingles for a living). There are few scenes of Purab Kohli in the movie which is cute where he is a friendly neighbor, Sid is jealous of. “Tum rehne do na! Shekhar (Purab Kohli) hai na!”

So, all together in the end,  after all the drama, the mantra of a happy married life is “Stay Truthful” ! REALLY! This is something we have been hammered since our childhood! I wanted to know more full proof points to avoid the side effects! Being truthful is so mainstream.

Watch it for the superb acting of Vidya Balan, Farhan Akhtar, Ila Arun, Vir Das, Ram Kapoor, Purab Kohli and others. The cast is pretty interesting to look out for. The chemistry between Farhan and Vidya is also worth seeing, after all he is the bechara-pareshaan husband haunted by his DramaQueen-naggy wife!

Don’t watch if you are expecting a what-to-do-LIST to avoid the side effects, because your list will just have ‘be truthful’ and we all know that!
