Knives Out- Movie review

Knives Out (2019)

Knives Out is an intricate murder mystery which revolves around the death of a famous mystery novel writer Harlan Thrombey and his family surrounding in the fence of suspicion of murder. The movie is all about the death, conspiracies, revelation and misguidance like a typical thriller movie.

The screenplay is written with very details and you enjoy every scene which keeps you on edge of your seat and adds more to the mystery. The scene composition, set design and costumes is another great aspect of the movie it was all screen when Daniel Craig was sits in the chair with the knives surrounding the background gave the feel of Game of Thrones.

The performance altogether were superb especially of Ana De Armas as Marta Carbrera, an immigrant who is the central character in between this mystery. Also Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc with his southern accent plays a funny as well as witty character, someone who would look up Sherlock Holmes as his idol as we can see him referencing Marta as Watson in many scenes. Comparing it to the other murder mystery movies I can put the movie somewhere above Murder Mystery and below Zodiac.

However I was very much not satisfied by the big reveal where Benoit Blanc understands the involvement the mystery by a simple evidence. Apart from this I must say the movie is a great mystery thriller and will keep you bind in your seats for 120 minutes of its runtime.

How Quintein Tarantino directs suspense..

Quinten Tarantino gives us that art of suspense from the first scene of the movie. In this scene a German Nazi Jew Hunter “Hans Landa” is interrogating Monsieur “LaPadite”, a farmer. We can clearly see that Landa is a fluent in multiple languages, polite and well-mannered but all that are just a superficial traits to show others while deep inside he is a cruel and sadistic person. All these information by just showing us a simple conversation, what Tarantino often delivers well “Show, Don’ tell”. Here Landa, clearly exposes his purpose of visit that is here to search and hunt for Jewish family. During the initial conversation we are not certain of the interrogation and do not get fully immersed as it is rather uncertain from the body language and mannerism of LaPadite that he may or may not be giving refuge to any Jewish family. Now when the camera slowly pans to the underground shot of the hiding family, we now begin to experience the real tension. If you can hear properly befo...

Movie Review- Sentivirus

If I had to summarize the review of Sentivirus in one word I would say “RUSHED”. It feels movie was made by Dhurmus Suntali just for the sake of raising enough funds for making Gautam Buddha Rangashala. The movie is based basically on the socio-political drama. Let’s get in to the plot. Dhurvaram played by Sitaram Kattel is a politically involved young man who is firm with his ideologies and loyalty towards his party. A firm supporter and an active and strong party member of a party called Jana Utthan party, Dhurvaram is the party’s life. Conflict arises when his father in law Rajaram Poudel also stands in the election happening in the same area. His conflict with his ideology, his internal tension with his wife and its rushed resolution is what movie is comprised of. The screenplay feels rushed, the poor writing for a big feature from the mini comedy sketches series writer duo Kumar Kattel and Deepak Acharya can be clearly seen. Ram Babu Gurung has done a decent job, h...

Trance (2020) We all have been adhered in some way or other to our own form of conceptualized deity. On devoting our dedication towards our holy gods, the middleman calling themselves proprietary god-men who boasts about inheriting supreme powers to directly contact god and claiming to eradicate any human problems are constantly ripping of devotees off their money and belief. 2020 psychological Malayalam movie Trance is one such movie which blatantly evinces the company some people are running to cash in to the beliefs of gullible and religious people.
