The Invention of Lying

Hello

I am an addict, not a drug addict to rouse your suspicions, I am an Internet addict. The term “Internet addict” is bad enough to qualify me for the most irresponsible person of the year award. But what to do? I have few others things to do besides sitting in front of a computer and force my fingers to press the keyboard. What do I do when I spend my time on computer? I browse through different favorite websites.

You might ask me which website I visit the most. The answer to this question is IMDB(Internet Movie Database). As I have always proclaimed, I am the no 1 movie freak in the whole world(just kidding). But, I like to read about movies, actors, reviews, trivia, goofs etc and IMDB provides me with all I need and more. Especially I like reading Biographies of Movie Artists and their Trivia. You might actually find them very very funny and interesting.

You people might be shouting at me or cursing me for writing the rubbish in above two paragraphs, but believe me every post needs an introduction. Now coming to the title of the post. Invention of Lying? You might think that the title is pathetically meaningless. But, you might change your opinion after reading the below lines.

Invention of Lying is a movie which I came across in IMDB. It’s not yet released. The story of the movie is:

“A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain”

I felt that the concept of this movie is very innovative and thought provoking. The movie must be fun. We all lie and we lie again by saying that we have not lied. And this cycle of lie has repeated so many times and will repeat again, only we can change it with a truth. Don’t fear to say truth, even if the truth is that you are the biggest sucker in the whole world or a cousin of the Superman who wears underpants over trousers and roams in the night looking for retards.

Anyways

Cheers

p.s: Excuse me for showing some signs of rude language. You know, I was made like that.

Super Duper Hero

Hello,

This blog post has no purpose. It is written for the sake of writing and not for the sake of putting something into your mind. Wait a minute, ah! Actually I have got a purpose now. This purpose is going to tickle you pink. Few days ago I was browsing through this cyber galaxy and came across a video. This video racked my brains but I also had a big laugh, for this video is one of the most funny things I have ever seen. So go ahead and watch it.

In this video Captain Vijayakanth, the premium Superstar of south Indian cinema performs as usual great feats which are  impossible to normal human beings and he performs it with panache. Who says Matrix is not possible to make on a cheap budget? Who says human beings have any physical limitations? Captain Vijaykanth with his nerve cracking stunts is going to prove everyone wrong…

The Kite Runner

Hello,

There has been a pause in my blog for some time now. The pause is not intended, but circumstantial. After many days I am here again to write something rubbish and pose it off as a masterpiece.  Actually, I write when I get something to write, and this time I’ve got one thing to write, one film actually–Kite Runner.

I have had an oppurtunity to read “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini, but did not utilize it as the book seemed outside my zone of interest. Few days ago, I was browsing through the TV, and there was this film showing “The Kite Runner”, and the film appealed to me visually and thematically so much that I started watching it. The movie is about a boy, rather you can say its about two boys from Afghanistan. Amir and Hassan are two friends, very good friends at that. As children they were great buddies, who used to spend their time learning stories, watching movies and flying kites. Amir is a rich boy with not-so-daring kind of attitude, he gives up easily and is defended by Hassan. Hassan works in Amir’s house along with his father. Hassan is a person who never gives up, standing up for what he believes is right. Amir starts to avoid Hassan after some time because of some reasons  and hatches a plan to send him away from his home. And Hassan’s father not bearing the insult of Amir goes away from the house with his family.

Then there is this war in Afghanistan when Soviets tear apart the land with their visible tyranny. Amir then is transported to US by his father, there he lives happily, marries and then one day he receives a call from Pakistan. The caller asks him to come visit his dad’s friend in Pakistan whose health was declining. He goes to Pakistan only to find out from his father’s friend that Hassan is killed and left him a letter. The letter  of Hassan asks Amir for a better future for his(Hassan’s) son. Then Amir travels to the Talibanised Afghanistan to get the boy and adventure ensues. And for  the rest of the story you should watch on the screen or read the book.

The movie is very deep. The characters are very rich in dimensions and look very believable. The cinematography is awesome. There was never a moment I felt like turning my eyes away from the screen.

P.S: I have changed my opinion about this book, I now have much respect for the book and Khaled Hosseini as its author.
