Ba.Venkatesan has | Ba.Venkatesan has a unique opinions on films - "Not only me, my entire family is fond of movies. Even though the Art of telling stories through images and the art of telling stories through writing is basically a kind of chalk and cheese, it use to happen very frequently that directly or indirectly relating the movie scenes with my Creationism. Stories and Scenes of Horror and cow boy films are something which i used to feel that it will provoke me. Commercial films which are not having extremely heroic content is also my favorite. I had the experience of getting the Motivation for stories from the images of the body languages of [[Sivaji Ganesan]], [[Charlie Chaplin]], [[Nedumudi Venu]], [[Bruce Lee]], [[Christopher Lee]] ([[Dracula (1958 film)|Dracula]]), [[Nicole Kidman]], [[Kristen Stewart]]. As a fiction writer, i will set myself up that the films based on the fiction will be required more attention. I predict that [[Yasunari Kawabata]]'s [[Sleeping Beauty]] has become a successful art house film and [[Umberto Eco]]'s [[The Name of the Rose (film)|The Name of the Rose]] was become a mere detective story. Even i reckon the literature should face more challenges for its uniqueness when writing is successfully translated to images and in false happiness i thought to howl when i know the art of image struggles. Also i thought the movie [[The Color Purple]] - which i watched recently a kind of failed attempt to translate the fiction as a film. I especially like the genre of Indian movies which has Stunt scenes, loud verses, overt emotional acting. My thought is that these are the unique way of film making of Indian cinema. Our cinema artists will lose this uniqueness due to the ambition of getting western awards, it's audiences and their way of film making which are increasing my anxiety now a days as a creator. However, films are making my creativity and personal routine life more lively and meaningful. It's very rare that my family is ending up with weekends and holidays without films." | ||
