The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008)

I liked the movie very much. One wonders what must have happened to Mulder and Scully after they were on run. One wonders how they have fared and if fared well, how they have been able to adjust to a low or obscure profiles from a previously much exposed profiles in FBI world and Power circles.

Not going into details of the movie, I would just like to mention that I loved to watch the slowing down mellowing couple who talk about coming home to each other as far more important than any dark case that they have to solve. And yet, in this sanctity of quiet home, filled with independence and love, living on with the emptiness of having lost their son, the true natures of Mulder and Scully play out in full passion.

Throughout the X Files series, Mulder and Scully's characteristics have been known to their avid fans. And those fans will now again find the same traits that makes the partnership of these two work. And very interestingly without bringing Aliens or ETs into the screenplay, the essential nature of these two is brought out, its tested once again as to why these two click together and why they look for each other's support.

It is all about what they are willing to believe and uphold. Inspite of their differences, that almost threaten their togetherness, what holds them together is their compassion for human life, to relieve people from suffering, to not give up as long as they can work to have the living live in dignity as it deserves.

The compassion is not just for other people depending on them, it is also for each other even if it might not be in their best interest. For ex: Scully asking Mulder to help FBI to begin with, in hunting down the missing FBI agent. Scully could have known in advance what it might to do her if Mulder is asked to work, but she does it anyways in the better judgement of finding some work for Mulder, having Mulder obtain pardon from FBI from his previous charges. It obviously is going to help Mulder venture out of his protected territory.

In conclusion, I have to say, I liked how the ability to believe and  wanting to believe are juxtaposed for Mulder and Scully. It was this mould of their temperaments that led their success in X Files and finding for themselves a successful and fulfilling partnership at work and sharing their lives.

Acting wise, Gillian Anderson brings out a lot of shades to Scully's character, a person who loves her partner Mulder for what he is and yet trying to break free of him and make sense of her own life. And while doing this, she is still able to maintain a transparent relationship with her partner. Scully's shades are more revealed than what has been scripted or brought out for Mulder. As usual there is not much conflict for him, in the way he works out details before him, but what has been nuanced nicely for him is, that he is reluctant to take up work without Scully besides him and feels deeply disappointed when Scully refuses to join him. Although his belief wont let him relent in going on alone on his investigation, he wont give up, it being his innate quality, we can start seeing his happiness sapped out of him, if Scully is not with him. Its like Mulder is really happy as a clam sitting all alone in his office in isolation,  but there is no doubt how he gets excited if there was something he could with Scully involved with him. Scully on other hand does not have this kind of dependency on Mulder for her pursuit of her life's truths, but she does look for strength of belief from Mulder, the moment she is standing confronting truth out there.

List of the films I get from that link.

"Finding Fanny", an English language film with a cast of desi actors. The experiment is not new, but it stands a testimony to how the multiplex culture is allowing filmmakers to try new ways of attracting youth, say distributors. "Finding Fanny", starring Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, is a satirical movie which revolves around a journey of five "odd balls".
Indian movie distributors are confident that the film's release Sep 12 will open the doors for more filmmakers to come out with new themes and fresh concepts for a "target audience". "The first look of 'Finding Fanny' is quite promising, and the script is looking really strong with dialogues in English. According to me, this movie will influence a large number of people," Delhi-based Sanjay Ghai of Mukta Arts, told IANS.

Tere Bin Laden - 2010

My friend suggested to me to watch it. Now I suggest that you should watch it. 

My friend's accidental discovery becomes my gem collection. I was not sure what I was going to get! But it grows on us. I loved the song Ullu Da Pattha. Music is from Shankar Ehsan Loy. Its catchy and gets more catchy after we watch the movie. A very good parody of the times, the situation. Kudos to those who made this movie.

The movie became hilarious for me from 48th minute. From then on the ludicrous efforts were like a mirror to what happened in real. After the 48th minute when I started laughing....yeah for me until that point the climax was building up and I was just watching...the subject was grim enough for me not to laugh about any of the content I saw. But 48th minute onwards as the denoument starts, I knew exactly where it was going. I was relaxed and I started laughing. As I was laughing I could only ask CBS Show writers in my mind ...come and watch this movie. All your shows would just get wrapped up in no time!!! :)) What a clarity about the subject for the writing team of the movie about American Dream, American Paranoia, American Honour and American Profit. Awesome. I read some articles and the facts were not belied by the movie, infact the facts were augments through creativity.

I will most remember Ted and Usman.

Usman: Sir, if Osama is in Pakistan, why are we bombing Afghanistan?

 And the way Ted replies..100 Billion cannot be spent in sipping coffee.

Ted dreaming of 25 Million and then screaming mad at Ali. 

Ted listening to Ali to save his face and has the Cease Fire done and we see the Usman imprisoned for life for being "The Man who KNEW TOO Much."

Incredible events, Wrong Turns, Ironic and Abject scenarios that stick in your mind.

It tells me....Ullu da patthas will exist. Solution is not in becoming the greater Ullu Da Pattha !!!!

Here is my friend's review
