ABCD

I, very unfortunately, happened to see a Tam movie called ABCD. Three women and one Robot have acted in it. I am not going to critique on the story though. But, what was highly idiotic was the way in which the entire "Male Sex" was portrayed - testosterone-driven, highly sex-starved, lusting creatures that seem to think only with the wrong head! Not to forget the ubiquitous harassing husband, who has no business other than to extort money from the wife's parents, niece, sister's friend's dog., and whoever else he could possibly relate her to. And yeah, I almost forgot the weeping lady character who has the following lines to say to the Hero - "Before I ever saw you, I have ALWAYS hated the Male of the following species - Humans, Cows, Caterpillars, Rats, Snakes, Owls and Spiders - not necessarily in that order".

I don't even know why such movies are made the way they are, with characters like these, rather than sticking to the "positive" realistic ones. I don't deny the fact that there will be some cheap 'porikkis', but to generalize things and heap abuses on the whole lot, and worse, to show the same thing again and again in different movies one after another is ridiculous to say the least (and yeah, a pain to watch, that too after hours of downloading or worse paying money to do so!). Climax of such movies generally are - Women are God and we should build minimum two temples per head (more depending on financial ability or severity of any sin committed against them), and Men are as described above. Pillayarappa Tamil cinemave nee than marakkame kapathanum... God Bless!

(P.S: To quote SS in a relevant context "Pombalaiye madhikkeravan than Ambalai, Ambalaiye madhikkereva than Pombalai". But the "punch dialogues" in the first few minutes of the movie ABCD, will even put SS to shame!)

Have u ever wondered , Heroes should supposedly be the first love
for all heroines...but the Hero can afford to be a playboy, do all tht he wants,
n ultimately end up with a so called Traditional Indian Package...
who will be all the more ready to accept him without belmishes ;-)
(examples any movie from "Manmadha leelaigal"(down the lane) to "manmadhan"(recent))
and even if the heroine happens to have an unfortunate previous marriage,
either the ex-hubby wud have died before the first nite or
he wud have run away before tying the knot !
Worst case , if she has a child , 100% it will be an adopted child...
n much more...
Un Written rules of Tamil Cinema...
Appo thaan pa makkal othupanga ;-)
neways..good post...nzooyeed reading it !
