A movie and a game based on a movie

The name of the movie which i have been trying to recollect for ages.... "Strange Days" (1995). Oh my what a movie, sorry what an idea!!! The concept is mind-blowing. A device which records all the sensations and neural activity of an individual and lets anybody replay all the events experienced.

SPOILER AHEAD: This concept is taken to the extreme in which a girl is tied to a bed by the assailant (man) who is recording his brain. Then he slits the girls throat and places another device which would play the recording live on her brain; so whatever the man experiences, the woman would. As the girl bleeds, the man starts raping the girl. The girl, oblivious to the blood oozing from her throat, experiences the cruel and chilling pleasure of a rapist. Hence, when the the man reaches his climax so has the woman and with the sudden jerks she experiences she dies.
SPOILER ENDS.

The weird thing is that although there is no nudity in the movie on TV, its U rated on Tata Sky. I can bet you don't want to be watching this movie with your kids, parents or girlfriend ;-)

On a much much lighter note i watched "Ghajini". Class movie! Aamir Khan is one of those rare actors who has talent. The remaining Khans are all just wasting our time if not theirs. But i was wondering how amazing it would be to be play a game based on the movie. Unfortunately as always i wasn't the only smart ass who realized this as FXLabs Studios will be developing it for Eros International. The graphics and animation seem to be not bad.

But what i am all enthu about is the gameplay. What is it to develop a game in which the protagonist suffers from short-term memory loss, while most gamers suffer from no such weakness :-P It beats me how can one make an engaging game which can capture the essence of the film. Well one things for sure it will be one heck of an action game and i would luv it to have much more blood n gore than the movie :-P Mwuhahahhahaha

The best part would be if the unlockables would be the dance sequences and item numbers. There should be close-ups and camera hovering while the 3D Jiah Khan (with even larger assets) and Asin perform dance steps. YUM!!!

The game i heard was to be released on the 28th Dec but ab tak koi news hi nahi :( I am sure i will buy it even if it gets half good reviews.

Holidays

I believe that holidays are that time of the year, when i learn the most. It gives me time to think and reflect upon a wide spectrum of issues and wonders of this world. I get to watch such amazing movies and i have such a great fancy for watching movies. They are just so fantastic!! Its one of the purest and most beautiful ways of putting an idea across. :D

btw u must watch "The Holiday" - great movie!!! The perfect Christmas movie.

No Country for Old Men

This is a movie I was very pleased to see it won the Oscars. So congratulations to the Coen Brothers!!!!

However this is one movie which taught me how immature i am at appreciating art. It showed me an interesting perspective of very purposefully not feeding scenes to the viewer and let him guessing what fate would have had in store for the characters.

Its the kinda of movie that does not let you sleep until you watch it again n again till you are tired of scratching ur head and reconciling to the fact that there may be no reason for what is shown in the movie than to show it the way it has been shown.

However, the feature which i would take back from this movie would definitely be the fact that the Coen Brothers didn't even need to hire any music producers or anybody of that sort as the movie just didn't have any music. The warm desert breeze was so calm and tense at the same time. Just the right setting for the movie.

The sound was so brilliant it actually made me enjoy it when i went for a mid-afternoon stroll in my campus. The sound of the warm wind blowing through one's ears is definitely one of the best things one can appreciate. It gives a lovely feeling of forgetting the busyness of city life.

It's like Mother Nature whispering to you but you just don't know why...
