After Tamil Class today, the
tamil dudes went to play soccer. And by my estimates the PSI must have been 100+ or thereabouts. The haze was quite bad, but there were already a gazillion people playing soccer on the
astro. It was quite fun, though tiring as the haze made breathing hard and the heat was not letting up. Who cares, even if your risk of getting lung cancer goes up by 8%.
Haha. Risky business.
After soccer,
Kannan,
Arun and me went to watch The Prestige. Whoever gave it just a four should die. It deserves at least a 4.5. And if someone like
Arun said it, it was indeed good.
Haha. The screenplay was superb; it always kept you on your feet. You have to think along with the director, if not you'll be left scratching your head. Pick up on all the subtle clues - it's part of the experience. The acting by Christian Bale is commendable - as usual. He is one of my favourite film actors actually,
haha. But one thing I didn't really like was the extensive focus on the obsessions of the characters. It reduces the depth of the work to some extent. But everyone should go catch it. Be warned though, it is not a MI:3 kinda adrenaline-rush providing movie. So if you are looking for nail-biting action, look elsewhere. This is a film for the appreciative movie buff.
