Sure you would have all seen a list of World's Greatest Movie or Movies to See Before you die list... But I just thought of creating this one... Probably an even more important list from a personal point of view... I am sure all of you have such lists... somewhere there in the back of your mind... In your heart... Yes, believe me when I say this... All movies are created there in your heart before you have a script, a screenplay, dialogues, etc...
Again, please believe me when I say that Movie making is the world's oldest occupation [not profession, but something that occupies your heart ;-) ]... Don't you think our forefathers would have woken up and imagined how the day would be... What will they hunt/forage... Yes, We all are movie makers in our own "little" right and space... Just like you would imagine how your day would be in the office or how you would spend the time with your love and so and so... It's just that it is not on a projector, that is all... Movies have been existing as early as mankind's first conquest over instinct...
Again before I go to the list... Let me express another point... Just to roughly quote Roger Ebert... We all are born actors, it's just that after some time, some really revel in it and others like us just do it on a daily basis, just enough to get through the moment...
So now going on to the list... Movie names followed by it's inspiration and thin plot descriptions...
1.) SEEKING: Something that I had always thought about... A movie about conversations... Conversations between 2 people... I know... I still remember thinking about this when I was in college or so... But Richard Linklater beat me to it... He made "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" (Please watch it if you ever get a chance)... Seriously, in a funny way, if i ever have to venture out to make a movie, I will have to start with low budget and what else than capturing conversation between 2 people...
And yeah the plot goes on like this... You have a guy in his twenties, working and earning a decent living, but he feels and thinks deeply about his life, the world, the people around him more than many... This makes him feel a little emptiness... He envies those who never question the obvious and are so happy with their lives... and yes, he remembers that dream of his wanting to be come a teacher, still can feel the rage of wanting to make a difference...
Ohh yeah the usual, There is a girl... This effervescent... Lady so bright... So Free... who makes a living from singing in bars... Someone who has no inhibitions and no perceptions...
Yes, so they do meet and then they have a night full of conversations... Which is a journey, revisting thier lives... and yes... Are they seeking answers? or just someone who can listen to them... Who teaches whom... Do they find something in those conversations, in those moments spent together? Well, that is what the movie is about... THE END
