Hi! Me here and light is here! So happy! Will watch some movie today and read reviews and work on stories tomorrow! Too cold to work on stories right now, plus, I watched Bang Bang today, so now I want to see Knight & Day is compared to it! And achanak se thandi itni aagayi ki now I am ready to take the mosquito bites over switching on the fan!
I have only watched half and yet, I have found some things! Hrithik was better than Tom Cruise to watch (dancing is out of the world) and Cameron Diaz is a better actress than Katrina as Katrina comes off as dumb who prefers to panic at every scene while Cameron comes off as someone who is thrust in situation she does not know how to handle, so wants to stop, think and process before taking next step! And another thing is when you copy a story scene by scene, then either copy it fully or atleast change the scene! In KD version, Tom does not invite Cameron to speak with him. She does it. Here Hrithik sees Katrina sad and decides to flirt instead of focusing on his mission. So when Hrithik and Kat copy word to word dialogues of Tom and Cam it makes the viewers wonder 'what the!' Tom decides to save Cam even though it is not his fault she gets in the situation so when he gets angry at Cam, he seems justified. In BB version, when Hrithik gets angry at Kat, you wonder why.
Plus, they added kohinoor thing, while keeping rest dialogues same which kills the story. If I change Geet from flower seller to waitress in My Fair, I make sure that rest of the story changes too coz the dialogues will defo be different. If I give the same dialogues that a Professor said in original to MSK, how will that seem? Seriously, copy karna hai toh poora karo, warna ek change kiya toh uska effect bhi pure story pe dikhaao! Except good dance and mast action, nothing is awesome in Bang Bang! I have watched only half of Knight & Day and already I can tell that it is better! Phew! Bas! bahut bol liya! Baaki ka baad mein!
