What is this? What I am up to?

What is the point of this blog? Who cares about this? How many people know the address of this blog?
Well...this blog is my personal tracker. I am aware that it's public and anyone can see. It will not interest anyone until I become a role model for someone. But I know that someone will see this tomorrow. And if it is personal I know could've written it in docs. But I have decided to write it all here because 'Anyone can see' factor will motivate me to keep committed. Also, it makes my writing more clear.
Till now, I have failed a lot of times trying to stick to a plan. I am doing this from 5th standard till yesterday but none of those plans did work for more than a week. So, my obsession with the infallible plan is now over. I'm not giving up on planning. From now on, I plan more, I track it more and if it fails again, I'll record the reason and move on with the next plan. All these things have to be in a public space because I have lied enough to myself. There's no accountability if it stays with me alone. As of now, a few of my closest film friends know about this blog and I have given them absolutely no reason to visit this blog again. But I'll keep sharing with more and more people whenever I write something interesting.
So, the blog contains these - 
1) My plans and commitments that I work on - and the progress - and the results
2) Any story that I write which I have no interest in filming
2) Notes on the movies that I see
3) Summaries of anything new that I learn (Feymann technique)
4) Anything I find amusing and want to share with the world
I'm not writing this blog in Kannada. Because I need to improve my English writing skills that enable me with many career options.
I'll keep this blog economical, easy to read and understand in one go. I have to check in Hemingway editor and I have to re-read and use my brain to cut it short and simple.

Best Indies - Movie 3 - Sex, Lies, and Videotape

What it is about - The title almost gives out its premise. It's about sex and lies. Videotape plays a major role in the film. Story & Structure - The flow of the film is too smooth. Nowhere it feels like a constructed screenplay. Like any other story, this too has its fair share of coincidences but the brilliant craft subverts it. The conflict of this story is with themselves and with their partners. 4 major characters - Husband(John), Wife(Ann), Husband's friend(Graham), Wife's sister(Cynthia) . Graham's ex Elizabeth is another character who comes in suggestion. A psychiatrist shares good screentime who helps the audience to understand Ann's thinking. The story forgets to resolve the psychiatrist and Ann's relation. The story works fine without that because it had no emotional hook, it was a tool to reveal Ann. I remember the names of every character because they all have strong and unique traits. The great driver of this story is the ego ga...

Best Indies - Movie 1 - Slacker

What is it about - This film is about slackers. People who don't do anything and always have reasons for it. Different people have different reasons but one thing is common - They don't like to work hard. Engagement Level - I was about to quit this movie at about 30 minutes and a shy boy-girl conversation hooked me up. It was realistic and interesting. And it gave me fuel to watch some more. Then I started enjoying this new pattern and it didn't irritate me to watch. I had to quit about 72nd minute because the film is showing the same things over and over and finally it bored me. Craft - This movie doesn't have a cinematic quality. Anybody who knows to write dialogues and direct actors can do this. There is no story, so there's no need for a structure. There's nothing exciting in its Cinematography, Editing, and Sound. Though the characters have a great sense of humor, they don't deserve our empathy. Observations - There are funny dialogues...

Best Indies - Movie 4 - Once

What it is about - Music. Two music people connect and make a song recording. It's this simple They say we will decide whether we like a movie or not in the first few minutes. It is not true for some films though. Long back, when I saw 'It's a wonderful life' I experienced this. And again today! This was an easy watch, but nothing held me until 50 minutes. I was about to quit and then saw a very romantic scene. The scene's realism got me for a few minutes. And then they show a fantastic sequence of them recording an entire song. The song was great. I got goosebumps while hearing it. That made a difference for me in the way I perceive this film. Performance - The performance of both lead characters is great. The guy is a singer himself and all the songs we hear are his songs and it's reflecting on the performance too. He has a love for all those songs and it is good to watch. And the one who beautified this movie is the girl. It didn't even look li...
