This post is not a review of the movie.
Although I must admit, it was
brilliant to watch. A bit disappointing when I compare it with the novel.
However, the sheer visual delight and screenplay more than compensated for the
erratic narrative. And what made it an even more enjoyable watch was that
I managed to find a near empty sunday afternoon show.
"The difference between reality
and fiction? Fiction has to make sense "- Tom Clancy
Read this quote on sunday morningand
it bounced back in my mind when I was seeing the movie - Midnight's Children.
And has been ever echoing in my mind. Nudging me to give space and
dimension.
The story line is layered with
multiple themes (realistic and abstract) and full of allegory. And yet as the
story progresses, each of them flow along with it sometimes in parallel, at
times intersecting and many a times in disconnect. And yet as the climax
approaches they all entwine and start heading towards a culmination as if
causation was working its magical charm. Wish the same could be said about
reality.
How I wish reality could make sense
and provide a sense of closure on so many parallels - thoughts (real, unreal,
imagined and surreal), hopes, experiences (lived and vicarious) that keep
running in our head.
