13 Tzameti & Rashomon

Just ended watching  13 Tzameti. Watched Rashomon yesterday.

My reactions are quite mixed. But there are lots of similarities across movies.They show human (men) emotions in difficult situations!!!

Quite interesting that a movie made in 1950 is able to hold my attention for 90 minutes. Now I know what a great director Akira is ,after seeing Rashomon and Yojimbo. They are masterclass and timeless. I would recommend it for all movie lovers. There is no big cast, no big sets but some great screenplay and shooting. I think he made viewers to think and believe it. I think I am blabbering. No words to describe, just watch it for urself !!!

A quite similarity between Rashomon and Hangover movie (I  just laughed for 2 hours) is that they leave the viewers to make the story. So there is no flaw in the story, because its ur story. If both the movies had been told as it happens, then most viewers would have rejected it as unrealistic. Quite surprising technique!

13 Tzameti is quite wild. It talks about a ordinary man in extra ordinary situation. But the sutuation here is what makes the movie interesting. The  movie is shot in a calm manner, but there is a tension through out the movie. Quite amazed, how a calm and simple narrative can bring out so much tension in the screen. All characters except the hero and few mortals are very calm in the movie, considering the extra ordinary situation.
