1/2.. In the old govt offices.. seniors would ask the typist to make a copy of some document.. they would say.. "Word to word.. Makhi to Makhi".. Makhi means Fly.. So if the original had a dead makhi stuck on it.. the typist would have to kill a makhi & paste it on the copy..
2/2... This stupid #LalSinghChaddha seems like that.. Scene to scene.. makhi to makhi copy of Forrest Gump..and Im sure it will turn out a horrible copy-paste... I dont know if theres any song & dance..
I recall many scenes from Forrest Gump.. no way it was a bad movie... Its just fictional, fantasy thats all.. but the movie was well crafted & well made... Its like seeing history thru the eyes of an idiot..
Tom Hanks was 38, Robin Wright was 28 when Forrest Gump was made... Aamir must be around 55... Kareena around 40+... so they just want to copy a famous movie.. when the characters age matters..
Exactly... Gump is actually the story of a half-retard going thru Black-White segregation, Vietnam, Watergate, John Lennon killing... a short history of the US for about 30 years..
1. This is a true story and a hilarious one... I was travelling in First Class (the old types without AC which has 4 berths in a cabin)... There was me.. A young lady, her father & her uncle... this was Jaipur to Indore..
2. Jaipur to Indore is just an overnight journey.. even if you have a light snack you can be comfortable.. but these 3 folks were carrying 2 large lunch-carriers, with 6 dabbas in each carrier.. I wondered how much they can eat...
3. Somewhere in the evening at some station (I think Kishangadh or something).. the father got down to buy something.. and the train started off.. the girl panicked that her father got left behind..
The horrible truth is... Families on trains.. esp with 2-3 kids are a terrible nuisance on trains... I always prefer the side lower seat/berth so that I dont have to suffer their nuisance..
The worst part is... even for a 12 hour journey.. they will bring whole bags of food as if they are at a wedding.. and mess up the whole train... LOL!..
Why did you stop @narendramodi?.. In fact you should now live in a jungle 5 days a month.. So we can be free from your speeches at least 5 days a month... And you can turn India into a "Global Hub" for Jungles..
Dialogue-ing and Story-writing are two different things... Dialogue-ing is Screenplay... Screenplay converts a storybook or Storyboard into scene by scene dialogue..
Hahhaa... I think Ludlum wrote the stories in the 80s or so.. so may be the director wanted to set it in a more modern, tech background... and throw in thrills and frills like car chases and so on...
FYI @ProfMKay In 1995... Forrest Gump got a handful of Oscars.. While a definitely much better & enduring movie like "Shawshank Redemption" didnt get even one... Over the years.. Shawshank has remained at No.1 on the best movies list.. No one rates Gump that highly..
This is the IMDB ranking of 100 top movies as of this minute... Shawshank displaced the Godfather some years ago and has remained at No.1 for years now.. despite 28 years... @ProfMKay
Hahaha.. Oscar is also a very political outfit with its favourites... Imagine.. they didnt give one to Martin Scorsese for 30 years (with 7 nominations) despite many brilliant movies & finally gave him for "The departed" which was a remake..
LOL! The adult Jenny was a POS, a hippie-cult hobo, a junkie, a selfish gasole who returns to Gump only when shes sick.. Why would you want to curse every man with a vagabond junk like her?...
Thats an excuse for most people.. She left home anyway... Gump is not in love with the adult Jenny... Hes an idiot whos still in love with the "memory" of a child Jenny because memory is all he has..
This is just "rationalising" stupid behaviour... the only thing is Gump is an "innocent idiot"... while that wayward junkie lives in a make-believe world of victimhood like Modi... LOL!...
