Intend to do a Karthik Subbaraj Film Marathon 4m today, with #JagameThandhiram a week away, an opportunity to revisit his films in d chronological order, one film a day so I can wrap it up on wednesday n keep free thursday late hours or say Friday 12 am 4 #JagameThandhiramFDFS 🕺
Ennama Nadikkranyaa level performance from VJS in Pizza, the whole haunted house conceit is actually quite flimsy enuf to engage but it is him who sells u in on it.
"பயந்தவன் அழுஞ்சுருவான் டா மைக்கேல், Be Strong"
Since Vintage VJS feels like a very distant memory now, something to remind you how he used to look like 😎
"Michael Karthikeyan, Sontha oor Madurai"
Both this film and Jigarthanda have Karthik as the lead guy's name and Madurai connect (KS's native is Melur) Karthik Subbaraj is modeling his protagonists after himself.
Assault Sethu 😈
The Johnny Desktop Wallpaper!!
Hot and Cold!! 🔥
This particular shot of Sethu starting for the sambhavam feels like ur peeping at it from inside the opposite home via window feels voyeuristic much 🤔
"Naa deal panrathu only Arasiyal and Eezham
Rendum onnu thaan"
"As far back as I can remember, I ve always wanted to be a gangster"
"Nalla thaana galla katti oduchu en vandi
Entha puliyamarathil uttaen rendu wheel um nondi
Vethuvettu list ula poi seranum da naanu
Entha punnula vettu pottu siruchuthu antha pei"
"Let's just fuck"
This particular scene summarises d film perfectly, a room full of men schemin, gangin up against d Lady nurse n bullies her who asks them 2 keep it down & d only female in d room s in coma.
0 Female Representation.
Just noticed SaNa using the same bgm for both the interval sequence of VJS picking up the hammer and the climax sequence of SJ Surya picking up the gun.
Kaali Sir!!
"வாலிபத்தின் எல்லையில் வாசல் வந்த முல்லையே"
"வாங்கடா கலாச்சாரத்த போய் காப்பாத்துவோம்"
Pretty sure the brief was gimme a modern day version of Rakkama Kaiyathattu 🤔
"உள்ளே போடா" 😄
Saviour!!
"Avavan andhandha edathula apdiyae nikkanum" 💥
Motha padathukkum oru scene aathu kuduthaanae, Nawaz Bhai 🔥
This again feels like a throwback to the Thalapathy opening scene ig
Baasha Baasha I mean Petta petta
Ithellam en range kku oru scene nu naa dialogue vera pesanumam Kaala koduma kathirava kinda attitude from VJS in this scene 😂
The Jigarthanda Throwback 😄
Periya Agni Nachathiram Karthik Pirabhu 🏃♂️
Vadivelu the man of inspiration forever 💪😄
Subbaraj watched Gangs of Wasseypur a lot and got this man aboard purely to reenact the Faizal pose 🔥
VJS: En amma Saro kkaga
This "Thaa dei kena" look from Nawaz is golden 😂
What u give comes around or in other words ellam ingirunthae edukkapattadhu, Anurag Bhai 🙌
Watched it thrice, 1st tym just 2 watch, 2nd tym to understand. Then read all d theories & finally a 3rd tym to c which of those theories stick n which don't. So here's goes my interpretation.
Ok so let's lay out the pattern. The film is a mix of reality, delusions & d script. The cues to figure out which is which
1. Neck bird Tattoo on Sam: This Tattoo appears during scenes not part of script (reality) and disappears during both hallucinations n scenes 4m script.
So let's start with the psychiatrist who gives her the pills (Red pills Blue pills is 4m Matrix n chk out what it means) Red pills basically bring u back to reality while the lack of takin it (blue pill) keeps u in simulated reality (script/hallucination) & Doc gives her Red pill
Shared this not to hype him up. Not everything has to be binary (hype or hate). But just don't come at me saying TK is naive. He is very much aware of the kind of cinema he's creatin and the rxns it ll generate. Which is y he's hell bent on not explaining it coz he wants ppl to..
My Beast Theory: Was thinkin why wud he cast someone so short for the main terrorist role, I mean such roles generally remind us of Osama who's extremely tall,won't he know that it ll b laughable to see someone so short here, enakku ennamo ivan venumnae spoof padam edutha feel 🤔
I mean think about it, everythin from the dumb terrorists to the dumb politicians to the climax stretch (which seems right out of a Sampoornesh film) u cant take anythin abt the film seriously except ofcourse Vj na who seems to genuinely believe he is in a serious espionage film
...and seriously doin action set pieces. Enakku ennamo Nelson spoof padam thaan eduthrukkan aana enna atha vj na kitta sollama eduthrukkan nu thonuthu, basically he pulled off an "Assault Kumaru" film 😷😷😷
