Three Idiots - 20111019

I watched Three Idiots alone on Saturday.

This time, Broadway The One was picked. Located at the 10/F of a shopping arcade, the theatre house was small. It was a reminiscence of APM's auditorium. Seats were leather-covered. It looked luxurious yet a bit too stiff. The house was quite full.

It was a Bollywood film. I did not have any idea about it until some day my colleague said it was "very good". And coincidently, I had spare time to kill last Saturday morning. The movie lasted for three hours, which suited my need.

I found it superb. The film told some simple thoughts. Like we should stick to our belief rather than live to meet others' needs. And the director represented these cold doctrines by ridiculously funny examples. The "all is well" rule is particularly touching. By shouting so, a guard with night-blindness soothed people's unsettled hearts. Most of us are born to be cowardice, we need placebo to give us some guts to walk against the wind.

Some of the songs and scenic views in the movie made me associated with Tagore. The simplicity was fascinating.
