After a long gap (to be precise, after the release of Jailer) I went to watch movies, over this weekend. It was actually two movies. The Malayalam cinema is now the talk of the town and the actors leading the revolution.
The movies I went to were Avesham and Varshangalku Shesham. Both movies belong to different genres. But maybe you can't box these movies into categories. One of them was my favourite. Let you guys guess what it was. But I learnt something from these cinemas.
The first thing I learnt was the significance of taking breaks. My work week was hectic and the Bangalore summers aren't of any aid. I can feel the gears turning in my head. It isn't a happy feeling. A break was what I needed and what better than a movie. The second thing was to enjoy your own company. As an introvert, it wasn't difficult. But it turns tedious to be alone in your room. I was at a point where I would mutter under my breath whenever I worked. Getting out and immersing myself in the cinema helped me. But the third lesson was more important to me.
I saw the actors putting their best foot forward, the directors giving their all, the producers trusting these efforts and the thousands of others who are part of the crew working towards the same goal. I realized that my thesis is a goal and I need to find the actors, directors and producers who will trust the process. All within me. I need to pull myself together and reach the finish line sooner.
