K-Factor Part II
All right now, a lot of times I write reviews of a movie and mostly end up saying stuff that makes some sense. But for KANK I seem to have missed the point in the game......................Or Not.
Whichever movie review - online, in newspapers or on TV channels - I read or listened to, first of all told me the movie is wonderful! (Fat Marketing budgets can get you this one!) And then they start talking about the 'Pandora's Box' that this movie seemingly has opened. I mean, heellllooooo??? Am I blind or is the world going black??
Say what you will but through the maze of terrifically poor direction, I just could not REACH the subject matter. To tell a story is an art. And to make audiences think about the story is even more difficult and can be achieved by only a few accomplished ones. And clearly Mr. K does not make it there – 'least not this time. (Perhaps in future! Who knows?!)
And now having heard and read so much about the actual subject matter of this film OR more appropriately the infidelity issue or the issue of finding your soul mate (duhhh....) after marriage; Get Real!
I don’t know about soul mate and stuff but infidelity, its all around you. Open your eyes and you will see it. (You need to even look at super rich NRIs who conveniently have affairs without ruffling too many feathers back home. Remember Salaam Namaste?!) They are all around you. Simple people we meet everyday. In every walk of life.
Is it disturbing? Well, not to me! They are not breaking law, mind you! None of them are BAD! They are as wonderful individuals as you are. When will we learn that each individual is different – Unique. And there are really no blacks and whites in this world. What is ‘morally’ (loaded word!) right for you MUST not be right/appropriate/acceptable for someone else. Then why bother? Let us let each other be……
So as far as KANK’s Pandora’s box goes……………..Booooooooooooooooooooo
