My Review on Roy movie.

Hi. Everyone

Roy is directed by Vikramjit Singh. A film lavished with dollops of visual style and aural sophistication, Roy would have been a runaway cinematic delight if only its makers had coupled its impressive surface gloss with a modicum of substance. Vikramjit Singh make the two-and-a-half hour movie passable tolerable. We can say that it deals with writing and painting on one level, and romantic thriller.

I like to movie beginning. I want to say my readers that Roy isn’t an easy tap to grasp and it demands your intelligence to solve the puzzle in the end. If we talking about the than we can’t understands easily that what actually happen in the movie.

I want to say that beginning and end of the movie is very interesting or we can say that if we miss the beginning and end of the movie than we lose the real charm of the movie.

I like to end of the movie as we know that movie start with filmmaker Kabir (Arjun Rampal) interview about his upcoming film. He is enjoying the super success of his two flicks inspired by the real life of a con Roy (Ranbir Kapoor) who never caught.

He geared up for the third part of the series and he chooses Malaysia as its shooting destination. He meets Ayesha Aamir (Jacqueline Fernandez) another film maker from London. We know that when hero and heroine meet with each other romance blooms between them.

But here due to Kabir’s conning approach for writing his flick’s story Ayesha leaves him. So Kabir lose his confidence in writing. Ranbir Kapoor as Roy is at simplicity. 

He is cool and calm. He speaks from his eyes and utter lesser dialogues to convey his views. He has limited scenes or rather say has an extended appearance. I think director could have utilized him more…

We appreciate Jacqueline’s role. She gives her best act. In twin roles as a movie director and as an art enthusiast she gives to compelling display of performance unlike her earlier once. Her dialogues are well timed.

Music and song is also attracting to audience. The energy only builds when the brilliant numbers like Sooraj Dooba Hai, Chitiya Kalaiya and Tu Hai Ki Nahi among others hit the screens. While they are beautifully picture, the timing is abrupt of couple of songs.

Undoubtedly. Roy is visually rich. We appreciate cinematographer Himman Dhamija, Malaysia setting look breath taking.

I like most beaches scenes which occupy special place where the romance between Arjun and Jacqueline and Ranbir – Jacqueline blooms.

I want to say that Roy is extremely slow and it demands your patience and devotion. There are some moments which bring a boring and other thing. It’s really hard to understand the two parallel stories of Roy and Kabir conjoining together.

So this is my review about this movie.

Blog on Ritual Model of Communication.

Chart on Ritual model communication..

              

The ritual view of communication is a communications theory proposed by James W. Carey, wherein communication–the construction of a symbolic reality–represents, maintains, adapts, and shares the beliefs of a society in time. In short, the ritual view conceives communication as a process that enables and enacts societal transformation.

Carey defines the ritual view particularly in terms of sharing, participation, association, and fellowship. In addition, Carey acknowledges that, commonness, communion, and community, naturally correspond with the ritual view. In a similar way, the term "ritual" holds religious connotations. For Carey, this connection to religion helps to emphasize the concept of shared beliefs and ceremony that are fundamental to the ritual view.

In contrast to the ritual view, James W. Carey presents what he considers the more commonly recognized transmission view of communication. In the transmission view the dissemination of information constitutes the primary goal. James W. Carey defines the transmission view in terms of imparting, sending, transmitting and giving information to others.  In the transmission view information is disseminated across geography largely for the purpose of control. To support this idea, James W. Carey refers to the messaging systems of ancient Egypt wherein, "transportation and communication were inseparably linked" and served as a method of control.

Where James W. Carey seemingly presents these two views as oppositional, he acknowledges that the dichotomy is false. He states, "neither of these counterpoised views of communication necessarily denies what the other affirms". Instead, they offer a nuanced perspective of communication that enables a broader understanding of human interaction.

• "The ritual view of communication is a representation of shared beliefs within a community." - James Carey (1992). 
• Examples of ritual communication are performances, dramas, and religious rites. 
• Speed and amount of information are not as important as in the transmission mode of transportation. 
• Nothing new is necessarily learned, emphasis is on the connection with the community. 
• In Ritual Communication (1998), Eric W. Rothenbuhler states that "ritual is communication without information." 
• David Gunkel, in Hacking Cyberspace (2001) states that ritual communication is an intentionally redundant activity. The reason for the communication is to establish and maintain common tenets of an organization or a society.

My interpretation on The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes.

Julian Barnes

 This is my interpretation on the novel ‘The Sense of an Ending’ by Julian Barnes. As we know that the novel is very short and it reveals very hard struggle in designing. The book is written in two parts. The narrator of the book is Tony. The novel ‘The sense of an Ending’ is of course called our sense of understanding end. When you read last pages where Julian Barns reveals the secret of Adrian’s suicide- why he commits the suicide?

 After reading this novel we can say that the novel deals with the heavy unreliability in narration and faulty nature of memory. I think Life of Pie is the best example of unreliability of narrative style. The novel appears in two chronicle parts, if we talk about the first part its Tony’s schooling where he met Adrian and Veronica, and second part is concerned with changing narratives that merge back and forth to the present and the past.

When Adrian informs Veronica that her mother has left 500 dollars for him, Veronica simply calls that money Blood money. So here we can say that their relationship damaged young Adrian’s life so it is called blood money. I believe that one reason of Tony’s suicide can be the last letter by Tom Webster to him in which frustrated Tony cursed Adrian and Veronica as Veronica left her and Adrian started dating his own girlfriend, because of that curse he might have felt guilty and commits suicide. In that case we can say it as” Murder”

b = s – v x/+ a1
S (Sarah), V (Veronica), a1 (Adrian), b (baby)
Sarah who has not good relationship and bonding with her own daughter leads her to have healthy and more obsessive relation with Adrian. And this relationship leads to the birth of Baby.

a2 + v + a1 X s = b?
a2 (Anthony Webster), V (Veronica), S (Sarah), b (Baby)
Anthony Webster who has a manful relation leads Veronica to break up with him and to date his friend Adrian.

In the novel it is clear that Adrian was very close to Sarah. We can say that on the basis of what she says about herself that Adrian was happy with Sarah, as at that time she was with him. We can say that Sarah has Adrian’s diary due to their relationship. We find that in the novel until Sarah’s death diary was in her ownership and in her will she agrees to give the diary to Tony.

We know that in the novel writer doesn’t tell everything in  easy way so sometimes we can’t understand what he actually wants to say to his readers. So it’s possible that Adrian felt guilty of his seen and maybe he went mad because of his guilt.  Guilt may be one of the reasons that he was hiding his identity. May be he was more guilty for making his girlfriend pregnant.

If we talk about Jr.Adrian who is suffering from stress as Sarah and Adrian’s son then Veronica and Jr. Adrian are their siblings. So he can be considered as step- father of Veronica.

I think Veronica is the most horrible among the other characters. Because when she was alone nobody shared problems and secrets with her. We can say that because she had no good relation with her mother and her family members. If we talk about Adrian Finn’s character then we can say that he was a genius and as a person he was intellectual. His thinking process was in philosophical way. And we know that intellectual people did suicide including writers, politicians, and scientists.

Yes of course narrator is unreliable because he himself goes on telling his own story. The first thing is whatever he said is only his point of view and his way looking towards life. Second thing is we can’t remember all things which happened in our past so here we can say that memory isn't unreliable or imperfect.

In the light of new revelations I read her as sacrificial, trustworthy and manipulative. Veronica truly loved Tony but Tony didn’t take their relationship seriously at that time she found that Tony does not understand her and their relationship. So she breaks their relationship so we can say that her character was calculative but not selfish. So she is calculative and emotional.

So these are my point of views about this novel.

                                                                        Thank you…

My interpretations on One night @ the call center by Chetan Bhagat

                             

  This movie is made on the base on the novel One night @ the call center by Chetan Bhagat

                               

Here I am talking about Chetan Bhagat’s popular novel 

One Night @ The Call Center. First I want to say something about Chetan Bhagat that he is contemporary writer who has earned a different name and made their distinction in the literary world.  We all know that this novel deals with the problems in a call center. And related problems such as frustration, emotions and office politics are dealt in a fascinating manner. The novel revolves around group of six call center employees working in call center in Delhi. It is filled with a lot of drama with unpleasant things happening to all of the leading characters. The story takes a dramatic and decisive turn when they get a phone call from God. 

I  agree that Bhagat has a talent for tapping into the zeitgeist, that he is not much older than the people he writes about makes him a particularly credible portray of their world. We can say that because he includes some basic problems of Indian people. We also find that he mainly focus on nuance and detail. Now a day’s Indian people forgot about their culture and they blindly follow western culture. So this type of condition is created by our own people. It’s about over all problems. The main problem is we only follow their culture and we can say we behave like so called educated people. But reality is totally opposite from this because we can behave like them, eat like them, stay like them, do like them but we can’t think like them. We all say that we live in 21st century but in reality is that our thinking is narrowing.  I mean to say that we think as if we are living in like in 17th century. 

He wrote on the contemporary issues like if we talk about One Night @ The Call Center we find BPO-Call Center- Globalization, Anti-American, Nationalism. In his recent novel Half Girlfriend we find importance of English in Indian Society.

We find globalization in this novel through the title itself CALL CENTER because it also represents that now world has become smaller one. We can connect with each other with the electric devices. It is true that we all loss our connectivity with ourselves. So we face different types of problems which  writer shows in his novel. 

He also makes interesting use of prologue and epilogue. It also connects with reader through epilogue. The Aristotelian unities of time, place and action are also taken care of in plot construction. 
We can connect with this novel with the movie Life of Pie. In the movie we find that Pie’s mother is religious person and we find that his father believe in reality and thinking about the reality of life. In the novel all characters believe in modernity and when they face difficult situation they remember the God. So we accept that when we are put in difficult situation we are helped by God in one or another way. So we can’t deny God’s presence.

So this is my point of view about this novel….. 
                                             


                                                        Thank you……  

My views on To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf.

                 

To the Lighthouse movie clip....

             

Here is my comment on To the Lighthouse.

First I would like to talk about the first question and then about all the questions.
In the first answer I want to say something about ‘Stream of Consciousness’ technique means we can say that its complex narrative technique. This technique is used by modernist writers. Here we can say that Virginia Woolf makes some complex senses 

with her writing. And we find in novel that human relationship is complex in day to day life in Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay’s characters. Writing style  also plays an important role in any work of art. She presents this very well in her writing.
 

I think this novel is more the critique then the tribute of Mrs. Ramsay. Here we find juxtaposition in characters. We know that Woolf try to pilfer away from the Victorian Age belief that “Women can’t write or paint”. In the novel we find one male character who says like this. Here Woolf proves through a character Lily Briscoe who was a young, single painter. She begins a portrait of Mrs. Ramsay at the beginning of the novel but has trouble in finishing it. But at the end of the novel she completes her painting.

 Lighthouse is a symbol of strength. So here we find two characters which are related with this symbol like Lily and writer herself. And I think in this lighthouse we find two major characters means characters which are very much connected with this novel and we also say that writer portraits herself in the novel. In the novel we find that Lily is also painter. Lily’s character is similar to Virginia Woolf’s sister.

In this novel we find one myth which is related with Oedipus complex. This complex is found in James character who was a youngest son of the Ramsay’. He loves his mother deeply and feels a murderous antipathy toward his father with whom he must compete for Mrs. Ramsay’s love and affection.

As I understand Kunstlerroman novel means ‘novel about growth of an artist’. The Lighthouse is a kunstlerroman novel because here we find two artists growth. In the beginning of the novel we see that Lily started her painting. In the middle of the novel we find that she left her painting and in the end of the novel we find that she completes her novel. Thus here we find that artist’s growth in mind means throughout the time till the end the thinking process continues in her mind.



In the novel we find that James’ desire to go to the lighthouse but till the end he could not do so. And here I agree with it that this novel is more poignant than movie because when we read something that time we imagine so many things with various points of view and in a different way. And we are put in one side and thinking more about our imagination and our feelings, emotion means we realize more and more about novel. The main thing is we can take a pause and in the movie we also take a pause but that’s not getting very interesting. Means whenever we watch movie we are not more connected through our imagination. And second thing is when we watched something that time we can’t imagine so that time our imagination power is also lost.

So this is my vision about all the answer and the novel To the Lighthouse.

                                             Thank you...

My interpretations on Oliver Twist.

           Oliver Twist Trailer

               

                       I watch this movie and I think movie is very related to the novel. I know that some things are not include in the movie because if  we try to directed to do this that movie will be so boring. I like Oliver's character in movie he played his roll very well.

                            

 In the movie we can see the life of poor people and the life and the workhouse of orphan child. I think with the help of the movie we can understand very easily to the Victorian Age. Beginning of the movie start with rain and thunder so it also represented something going to be wrong in the protagonist of the novel and movie character.

                               

 And end of the movie we can find that after all struggle Oliver come out of all this situation and he live very well his life in his future.

                                                             Thank you...

Reviews on The Birthday Party movie

 Here I am giving my interpretation about the play ‘The Birthday Party’. It is very true that while adapting any writing as movie elision is necessary. Here we can take one example that Salman Rushdie says in Attenborough’s Gandhi’ and other example is Twilight movie which was made on Stefani Mayer’s Twilight novel. Here I would like to say that I have not read whole novel but I have seen each part of this novel in film version. But I want to say that I am reading this novel in my leisure time. We all know that Lulu is not a major character in the play. In the play I can’t find that Lulu’s character is necessary in the play. In the play we saw that Stanly was trying to seduce her means here we can say that in the modern age woman also suffers from sexual harassment and some other things. We find that in the play Pinter sketches her character in dumbness and we can say that here Lulu’s character represents those women who can’t do any intellectual work. Yes it is true that when we watched the movie we feel bore and thoughtless. We find some meaningless activities in the movie. We find some famous scenes in the interrogation for several reasons. What we find most protuberant is Pinter’s use of language and overlapping dialogue. Yes, of course, at some level movie is giving the effect of menace but reading and watching both are different activities. I think that reading is more effective activity than watching movie. While we read interrogation scene McCann and Goldberg force Stanley to sit down and they asked questions. And readers have no idea about the situations. Movie is faithful to the original play in my point of view.  There is no need of any major change but I want to change Lulu’s character means give some more dialogue to this character in the play.
