Such love for cinema not limited to glitzy ones is hard to find. You also take pains to put up shots from the movie.<BR/><BR/>There is one request though. Do not reveal the complete story/plot. Even for the older movies.<BR/><BR/>The most interesting parts are the trivia and your take on the movie. Rather than the plot and story you can give your analysis of the movie or major aspects that stand out in the movie.<BR/><BR/>Eagerly waiting your next post.<BR/><BR/>BTW I have watched both the movies. Even though the Indian version is verbatim copy but it stands out very very well. I liked both of them and comparison is a little tough for me.TheQuarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380581344714982852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-85166346875679771162008-04-28T21:30:00.000-07:002008-04-28T21:30:00.000-07:00KK does a lot of television now, esp since the Ind...KK does a lot of television now, esp since the Indian TV industry is booming. But yeah, nothing that puts him front and center.<BR/><BR/>Ohh thats such a hard question :)! Annu surpassed the guy who played the same role in "12." And Subbiraj was so dislike-able in his bit that no one could come close- So while I agree with you that "Ek" is a better movie, personally, Fonda did touch me more than KK.Shweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-78331178248245626042008-04-28T20:57:00.000-07:002008-04-28T20:57:00.000-07:00I love this movie - its such a beautiful expositio...I love this movie - its such a beautiful exposition of how people's experiences color their reasoning. When I saw this as a kid I was convinced that Pankaj Kapoor and Annu Kapoor were both old men! Wonder what happened to KK Raina... Dont remember seeing him in anything after Byomkesh Bakshi.<BR/><BR/>I have seen the 12 Angry Men too but prefer Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, perhaps because I can understand Indian characters and motivations better. Which one did you like better?Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.com
