Cinema Agenda

Firstly, I would like to present my sincere apology as I was not able to post any of my blog posts on the occasion of the new year. The previous months as were January and February were all spent due to the immense number of my pending assignments and practicum. The majority of that month was wasted like my pen on the paper of oblivion. But as soon as all my academic dues were over, I came straight back to my business. And with this loving month of February, I want to present you a review of the film that has broken all boundaries of Love. I have chosen the Korean Film, "The Handmaiden" by Park Chan-wook to say its bohemian prayers to the unconditional theme of Love. I especially cannot forget the first time I saw the movie. The movie is romantic, dramatic, thrilling, and sometimes offensive, but to me, it was more secretive than anything else. I consider this retrospective important because the film reveals themes such as love, history, and patriarchy, mainly through the hid

It is December. The end of the year. And if we talk about this year, 2021, it flashes by in an instance. With the post-pandemic awareness, we started this year and reached the end. Knowing there will be a new strain coming in the following year, we find no joy in Christmas. But it is not our concern, and we cannot hold back facing such a deadly disease. We will recover again and again. And eventually will move forward with our pursuits in life. So, without further adieu, let's discuss this month's topic. For this last month, I decided to choose something that foretells about life and the viability of literature in it. And as we know, there was no second choice in terms of this theme remained selective in our decision-making. In simple words, to be precise, our views fall upon Peter Weir's masterpiece. Dead Poet's Society, the modern world fragmented into segments of seekable dreams, speaks clearly of salvation. The salvation that helps people not only to survive but to

With fall at our doorsteps, winter knocks, and it demands an answer. The answer to the question that poses in between is somewhere near the question mark. It makes us awe-stricken. Like the dew on a foreboding winter morning, it sticks and shines until the morning shifts into the afternoon. So with this coming winter, I started this blog post. In my thought, only one film comes that would answer the questions of this fall. The demand of answering the socio-political issues with the uncertainty of society -Yes, only one movie can fulfill this demand. And that is Forrest Gump. In this month's Cinema Agenda, we are going to confirm it. With a judging hammer in our hand, we will break down the walls of this particular movie. We hope the audience will enjoy the show, as it also demands a relative set of expectations. Forrest Gump is a myth of 20th century America. Robert Zemeckis's film comprehensively tracks the story of America from the post-world War two period into the post-wate

The great Durga Puja is around the corner, and with this festive mood, words decided to play a joyous incantation of a selective creation. So for this month's cinematic criticism, I chose the most well-known film, Shawshank Redemption. A significant number of people already cherished this film in their hearts without knowing about its true richness. Its plot, characters, story development, screenplay, and dialogues doubly exceeded a mediocre spectrum of a beautiful film. For a very detailed analysis of the film, let's follow its storyline first. As it is a post about the inner world of the film, I will not warn you again about the spoiler issues. Obviously, go and see the movie first and then return to this blog to read it further. No one enjoys spoiling the fun of a great film, and I am no different. Following the Story - In 1947 Portland, Maine, banker Andy Dufresne is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover and is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at the Shaw
