At first glance, Petra, the main character is very cold hearted and gets
her way using others. Was it her past that has shaped her present?
Falling in love seems to put her stoic character vulnerable. Indeed, it
did. Petra wants everything according to her whims and fancies but others have
their own minds too. That reality hurts. A lot.
Human frailty. However strong you are, matters of the heart almost
always steers your plans not along the intended path.
What a coincidence or has it been written? Your life saved by a cat.
It seems out of this world. How could this even happen?
But, the film is based on a true story. The bond between the man and the
cat is such that there seems to be a mutual understanding, that they will face
whatever comes, together.
There were moments when the bond might be broken due to unforeseen
circumstances but they managed to be together again.
A real life feel good story which the film has managed to capture quite
well.
A trailblazer. An icon to many. He has his flaws but the love and
loyalty of his friends sees him through the lows whenever it occurs.
We might never know what indeed makes him the man he is, but this story
gives an overview of his rise in the fashion world. No doubts about it, his
ideas did change the industry.
He will remain an important figure in fashion history.
How do you cope with a loss? The love of your life. Someone who has been
with you for a long time. In comparison with close friends who only had the privilege
of a few years in bliss, you had almost a lifetime.
The moment has come to decide. Will you carry through your plans or will
circumstances change?
A quest to find the reasons why his grandfather was a missing piece in
the family’s photograph leads a man to a nation’s past.
Interviews, recollections of the past. Those who lived during those tumultuous
decades. These are heroes, martyrs to some but traitors and murderers to
others.
The other side of the story, the struggle for independence. Usually we
get the victor’s version. In this film, we hear and ponder the lives of those
who were pursued. They started young, idealistic, patriotic even.
Most of them are in their twilight years and their story must be told
and aired. The other side of the coin. Might not be pleasant, as atrocities
were committed in the name of the struggle. But definitely, food for thought.
It is quite hard to believe that there was such a person. But the story
is based on a real socialite who wanted to be on stage despite her lack of
talent. Her wealth helped overcome any obstacles that hindered her ambitions.
The dedication of her husband and her inner circle ensured that her
dreams came true. I doubt if anyone with lesser means would have been able to
carry off such a feat.
