Yes, i finally watched it. a surprisingly lovely treat, if you ask for an opinion. This 1957 Black and white movie is timeless. when i heard about it from one of my friend, it was there in back of my mind that some day i will watch it. when the day finally came, i was taken aback from its release date and the colorlessness. my friend never told me that its an old movie. But then yesterday when i heard the same movie name from a colleague, it was enough for me to make my mind.
Starting few minutes of the movie were disappointing as it was going no where, but soon it was all clear. Now i knew what it was all about.
These men arguing, trying to convince each other, giving their fearless opinions, are the true face of people in society. some care to much and some are well detached from the world. some are so selfless that they tend to protect everyone irrespective of what society has to say about them and some are so selfish they don’t even care that their one word can cause someone his life. all true faces and behaviors.
Well as a movie, i would say its a much watch. never in the movie was shown any scene out of a hall in a humid hot summer day, but the arguments are such gripping and enough to create a suspense in your mind. one keeps guessing what would have happened the day boy killed his father, if at all he did.
the urge to tell the story is gripping me over here. but then it will be a spoiler. I want you to watch it and feel it.
Ghost ellipsis ...
