Yesterday we went to watch 100 days of love.
It had no english subtitles, so we can't claim to be the best people to review that movie in the first place.
It had good comedy but it didn't feel like a complete movie.
The parts looked patchy.
It didn't come together as a beautiful story.
The pace was bad. The first half literally dragged.
My favourite actor looked quite tired though no one can doubt his sincerity and effort.
But, it had its moments of brilliance.
It shows that the people behind the movie were smart.
They had an intelligent idea on paper.
They had a vision.
They had some awesome comedy.
They had a very realistic view to many things - love, career, etc.
The hero is shown as an earthy guy, not a greek god without any flaws.
Our guy drinks and does what most of us would do.
It had the best looking pair.
It had an awesome cinematographer who created magic on screen.
It was like watching one of those snow flaky, beautifully lit movies on christmas eve.
The music was too average to even talk about, except that one bit that comes in the trailer.
I think what was missing - was consistency. A little more effort on everyone's part, especially the editor, the script writer and the director.
The script should have gone through multiple regressions.
The movie needed tremendous trimming. It was too slow paced.
Many scenes never gelled with the movie. They were totally un-necessary.
That's when it got me thinking. Many of us can make awesome 2 minute videos.
We can write tweets. We can do thinks that require a high peak energy for a short time.
But then, there are those beautiful 1000 page books...those 3 hour movies..which take a lot of time to make. The greater the time to make a thing, the higher the chance of us screwing it due to low energy.
So, if someone has written a beautiful 1000 page book or made a 3 hour movie which is great in its entirety, we bow down to them. They deserve special awards.
It takes a lot of discipline, perseverance, commitment and hard work to achieve such goals.
One needs to handle obstacles without getting drained.
One needs to conserve energy in all possible ways to just use it on the goal.
Together these make for the recipe of success..
I bow down to those who've achieved it.
Setting long term goals, working every single day for your goal and keeping the motivation and energy levels high over a long period - all are commendable.
