favorite movie scenes

Ars gratia arts – arts for arts sake , so runs the caption of the MGM , the colossal movie giant. But art being a channel of creative expression has the powerful ability to seep deep into the lives and dissolve with the souls to unleash stronger emotions. Especially with the movies, the boundary between the reenactment and reality seem to blur into a slice of life itself.. Here are some of my favorite movie scenes of all times, don’t try to look for order, its random and chaotic...and since im doing it parallel with a dozen other tasks im afraid that i may have missed some of the fav ones..... but for now..
CASINO: opening sequence, fav of all time...just sheer genius of scorsese
SCHINDLERS LIST : the gal in the red frock, kinda conveys the essnce of the movie, subtle but strong.
FORREST GUMP: when forrest learns he is a father n when he tells jenny that she was with him always....
BEAUTIFUL MIND: the cafe pens sequence ...the tormented days
GODFATHER too many,:horse scene, baptism scene, n when michael says, "today i settled some old family business,moe green is dead , so is schatzi, tattaglia.........."just the intensity in his eyes...no wonder they said... u went in to watch brando n came out talking pacino
BEN HUR: chariot scene for unbelivable conception
AMERICAN BEAUTY: the dining room scene , n my fav the polythene bag sequence....
T2: the chase
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY: the fake orgasm scene "when u want to spend the rest of ur life with someone u want that to start rest of ur life asap" what else?
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS:"I happened officer clarice u cannot reduce me to a set of influences."... antony hopkins as lecter is chilling in any frame
TAXI DRIVER: "are u talking to me"? absolute Brilliance
HEAT: the restaurant scene...just to catch the masters in the same frame
SCENT OF THE WOMAN: the climax , pacino defines acting
AS GOOOD AS IT GETS: the compliment scene, jack nicholson with cuba gooding jr
FALLEN: climax is divine....
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST: many the silent sober gestures and ofcourse jack nicholson
GONE WITH THE WIND: last scene... haunting indeed
CASABLANCA: last scene very lyrical
APOCALYPSE NOW: climax...n everything everyframe its a classics reference
CLEAR N PRESENT DANGER: the terrorist attack sequence
MEMENTO: the first 20mins is a marvel
MATRIX: the architect scene, meeting the oracle n busting the matrix... spoon boy scene..many more
RAGING BULLl: all the boxing sequences....amazing..
SEX LIES N VIDEOTAPE: the conversations... poetic soderberg at his best
RAINMAKER: climax ....sense of unfulfillment haunting
GOODWILL HUNTING: climax... the break up of the complex scene

londonissssh

hmmm,back after a loong time! the last 48 hrs have been absolutely awesome,just navigating london aimlessly through undergound tubes, escalators and buses to an extent that i was seeing the escalators, zillion strange faces watching intently inside the train and why even a tube map while fast asleeep.
i asked myself one question....so was it overwhelming? , i must say no, just exciting,this time as i knew london more than last time i knew what to avoid and where to spend more time, the regular attractions obviously disappointed;the things i would carry home were
visiting the lords stadium-the lush green outfield,the legendary pitch and the popular media box , absolutely numbiiiinnnng!
221b baker street, second time but as ahuge sherlock holmes fan i don mind

sleeping in the hyde park....reminded me of college days.

the greenwich- where the world belives time started

the canary wharf- i know its no manhattan but nobody can deny canary wharf the charm.

the tubes are absolutely delight to indulge....

london, definitely is lovely and amazing but not worth settling down..........

londonish

on rails

hmmm...back after a deliberate sabbatical, just woke up after a long london night out; lets go back to uor favorite pastime.. trying to understand the nature of universe......(with full awareness of the futility of such an excursion)!!

life's favorite metasnaps...

What are my favorite moments? The moments which i cherish with a waning smile and wish to relive for anything in the world. Been wondering about this for sometime now and finally came up with this list...
when u see a stranger smile, when u just sit there trying to figure out what the hell is going on, when u know ur boss is nowhere near being right and u say i agree(with a smile ofcourse), when u sit there and think about all the possible pasts and probable futures, when u look at those squiggly spell check lineson the monitor with delight, when u feel the air ten minutes before it rains, when u just empty an almost overflowing bladder, when u exactly grasp what the writer intended to say in one go, when u close ur eyes while tongue deep in a kiss,when u uncap that pen late in the night to jot down something terribly trivial,when u wake up in the morning and realise that ur still alive............

definitely shall be updated

another one of those supposed poems

Deconstructing life....

so
like a
mixture
of
million
delights
and
absurd
aches
wound within
a single horizon
of unconscious pill
i take
another breath,
just,
like
that.............

nietzsche's rorschach test

picture this,
a conversation between Frederich Nietzsche and Hermann Rorschach....(oh yes!!)
R: so im going to show you some diagrams and you need to tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
N:ok
R shows plate 1
N:'' ''
R: prompts, 'yessssss.....'
N:nothing came to my mind...
R shows plate 2
N:'' ''

This continues all the way upto plate 10...

finally Nietzsche says ' grow up'
Rorschach says..' have you'?
Their eyes meet...in that moment probably they knew what made them different from each other, in one word...society.

hmmmmmm.........

What would you call that feeling which seizes u instanty the moment you bump into an ex and that sudden momentary deep look into his/ her eyes and you feel a turmoil build within as if the world's vaulting into a miniscule meta picture in an illogical rehearsal of an unwanted tragedy!
Whats more painful, is the substance of such a moment is left more for the memory to be haunted than to be enjoyed even by the most pathological sadists who ever breathed oxygen of this planet and all these wordplay fails to put across that squirming feeling with an eternal paradox of seeking for repetition and erosion at the same time.Such a real shame for language.
Its not fondness or envy... its beyond that , for those keen and willing to discover i must say , it is ''hmmmmmmmm........''..... its beyond the clutches of reason or emotion, beyond pain and pleasure....u just tend to say...''hmmmmmmmm........'' the rest is plastered by the mouldings made by your ego in time ,space and matter.....resulting in many people giving a thought about it later on, in grand futility of course !!!
What gives me a tingle is that i havent had that feeling for sometime...!!!

The stream that flows

the stream that flows.......
Wrapt little secrets of hearts undiscovered,
Vanish …..eroded by times delicate poison unending
Once in while, a profound silence is recovered,
A divine force …, beyond and beneath growing,

All the contours in times laughter are swallowed
Into an ineffable void within…
Nothing subsists, until all rains are washed into oceans
Till
All is forgiven and forgotten
Only the stream still remembers …
The persistence of disintegration of time
Because
The stream that flows only bends,
Neither turns nor returns.....

false positives, but needed

Deliberation is a sign of a building disaster, speak of regulation in enchantment and it appears as democracy is the sole right of humanity, which in all humility i disagree with; it is definitely not necessarily a disapproval , but a respectful honest difference in the point of view( let all the politeness be blessed for the masses).
The ultimate of truths is that we are all unique and beyond comparison, so any tool of measure,for instance like life herself, is not beyond bias, So there has to be rulers and there has to be the ruled and most importantly there has to be an hierarchy.
Democracy in real principle is a lie agreed upon.
