Am I the only one who likes most of SLB’s movies??! I don’t like him as a person as I don’t condone bullying, and I get that his films are not intellectual enough for some of you. But most of them bring in the magic, entertaining, fun and wow factor that has been almost inexistant in BW the last few years. Same old recycled movies…I personally don’t watch BW movies to be inspired and I do to the cinema to be wowed and enthused. I’m looking forward to his next!
I like him, some of his movies are total duds but he has gives big cinematic moments like the filmamkers of yore
he was considered intellectual when he started, like khamoshi but post devdas he has become very big scale and more melodrama
his films have emotional core which draws you in, like some scenes in baji rao, hum dil de chuke.
also he will root his films in one culture (bengal, goa, gujarat, marathi) which most of bw directors cannot
he should take more diverse actors, the way he casted for hddcs or khamoshi in those days was out of the box, not the same stars, stop composing, he knows music but his compositions are terrible
and maybe do a khamoshi type sans sets movie again
he has maintained quality over a much more longer period of time unlike adi chopra/kjo types
he is low profile and doesn't blabber
