So. I got this pm that we're supposed to make this forum a little more active, so I thought why not discuss our favorite subject- MOVIES!
yay 😆
Alright, So all the mallus know about the new wave of cinema in our homeland.
They're using new camera techniques, they're taking risks that seem to be paying off. They're introducing a new line of fresh talent, it has bold, new content, a script that brings to light topics considered taboo a couple years back. New youth icons are emerging, actors, actresses, and directors that are willing to stick their necks out and take a risk.
It's in someways a revolution from the old Malayalee style of movie-making. No longer do lengthy fight scenes and songs shot in the midst of foggy forests make up a large part of a movie reel.
It's literally changing the face of Malayalam Mainstream Cinema.
The New Generation Films, as they're known, have arrived. And they seem to be enjoying their stay.
The question that's of our convern is- Do you the dwellers of IF's SS forum enjoy their stay?

I personally love the new movement and at the same time hate it.
I love the risks they're taking. The subjects they address, I feel were long waiting their turn.
Take Ustaad Hotel for example. A wholesome family flick though it was, it clearly conveyed quite a few messages. What I got from it was pretty simple:
The recent Anchu Sundarikal was one of the few "Anthology" themed movies I have enjoyed from my homeland. In accordance with the current culture, the songs were beautifully weaved into each storyline. The five stories were unique and made you think, then rethink. Then think again as you analyzed how the lives of five different women were presented to you.
AT the same time. I have some inhibitions about this sudden flood of new content. I can no longer tell what movies are safe to watch with my parents. As a malayalee child, I have problems watching certain types of scenes with my family. So when I ended up watching Kili Poyi with my mother as we chopped up some homegrown cheera, needless to say, I wasn't exactly delighted with the content. The same goes for some older actors trying their hand at this "new technique and style of cinema."
Nothing gets things awkwarder for me then a man my father's age prancing around with a girl my age and trying all sorts of the romance is now accepted.
Watching Chappa Kurish with them was skillfully avoided by some of the content with my parents!
That was my opinion, what about you my fellow Keralites?
ALSO: Advancil, HAPPY ONAM!

- You should fight for your dreams, your parents might be breathing down your necks telling you what's best- but if your heart knows what will make you happy, you go out and you do it. I'm not saying Faizi's whole plan was brilliant, but I felt that for the first time a Malayalam movie portrayed the plight of a child in position in that manner.
- No matter how down you are, there's always going to be someone who wishes to be in your place instead. So no matter how high you soar, you should always come down to earth, and help your fellow humans out. Because we're all here to make a change.
- Also. Evil always loses.
