Those who loved those actors and films may not be able to understand our meta movies or other movies. Wise man, he is not spending too much money on today’s movies.But his children will be different in their tastes.

Dear BR,
Not sure IF you have seen or liked Memento. But would request u to view it, and review it once. I am not sure if ur views will match with mine, so it may be an interesting exercise?
For me, personally speaking, Memento is an infinite loop, a constant search for ‘purpose’ leading to what cynics can term ‘serial killings’. Its not a psycho-analysis of conscious; but the ‘sub’conscious. There is a technical side to it, and a philosophical side too. One may need to watch v carefully, analyze even twice more carefully before coming to ‘any’ conclusion. And perhaps it may not be conclusive (is it meant to be?).
Real life problems are always open-ended.
Anyways, time and patience is needed to absorb Memento – that is what i believe Nolan meant when he made that film (which was an unofficial remake of his own Following).
In an interview in 2008, Shekhar had spoken passionately about Paani, “Paani is not just about water shortage. It’s about the callousness of a world, where about three per cent of the populace are haves; the rest are have-nots. And, what a wonderful way to speak of that disparity through the one resource that we’re most squandering away. My first story was about this runaway kid, who sees this big van of water and is asked to pay for it. It struck me then that the first thing about city life is you’ve to pay for the water. Then one day, I went to a producer-friend’s place on the 13th floor and I was told he was bathing. Go down to the ground floor and you pass through the Dharavi slums and you see hordes of women and children queuing up for a bucket of water. To me, water is the basic resource, the next thing to air. Water is already being bottled and sold. Nobody has the right to pollute our water resources. I refuse to drink bottled water. I know it’s the beginning of the process to privatise water. A story developed in my mind. I had to make a film. My film deals with a city of 20 million people polarised by water scarcity. I’ll shoot it in Mumbai. I’m setting it in 2025. That isn’t so far away.”

The watching “Enter The Dragon” around 15 times story was a nice touch to the video.
