Don’t Move – A Film about Human Loneliness and Inside Storms (Non ti Mouvere)!

 

Penelope Cruz in Don't Move

Being a great fan of Drama Films and passionate about the expertise that are exhibited through storyline, dialogues, screenplay, acting, casting, direction, art direction and production are a matter of my deep observation. I am fan of non-contemporary movies that might get a Premier in some Film Festivals. These are really a delight to watch, and I am not even concerned about how many awards it has gotten, and not about IMDB or Rotten Tomato Rating and even about the Gross Earning.

So the different approach of mine has led me to the corridors of experimentation and wonderful insights on films that might not be highlighted in general. Here I am telling about an Italian Film named “Don’t Move” and its Italian name is “Non ti Mouvere”. For Penelope Cruz fans this movie is one of her best asset, and she has performed par excellence. 

Penelope Cruz is one such actress who is a great combination of Beauty and Brain, and it is clearly depicted in the selection of roles and her choice of films that she works in. In fact I got a chance to see Non ti Mouvere with English Language Subtitles. I tried to watch this movie that is translated as Don’t Move for Penelope Cruz. But the beginning just paralyzed my emotionally when I saw a single heeled RED shoe amidst a passage to a building which later revealed as a hospital. 

Why that Red Shoe was there and Who placed it there just entangles a mystery bound around, and you are spell bounded in it till the end. When the end comes and you see the reel of names then you want to cry out loud, and ask one question to yourself. Is it all Life and What is the Use of Living it when everything will end like that? 

Italia being the name of Penelope Cruz in the film made me feel reluctant to live like a normal being who runs behind worldly success and gains. My Perceptions about Life and Human Existence has changed, owing to this film. A poor woman who was raped by a Rich and Famous Doctor when he was overheated and drunk, and then as an aftermath when he felt guilty. The guilt conscious took him again and again to that ordinary woman who did not belong to his class. 

The irony of the situation is that he is married and having quitter a comfortable life. Italia is so different from her life, thought process and has her own opinions about LIFE. When they got closer than he realized that people become insane and pathetic due to extraordinary situations and sufferings. He got so close to her that he tried to flee away with her to another land. But she died on a way, and there is a whole climax behind all events.

I can never forget one dialogue when he said to her colleague while his daughter as a teenager has a fatal accident, and being operated. He said to his best friend and colleague “I do not know where people go when they die but I surely know where they remain, and that is heart”. Watch it out for seeing a mature cinema of the world, and “Don’t’ Move” deserves a standing ovation with respect to many fields of artistic presentation.

Innocent Dreams!!

Innocent Child with Dreams on a Slide

I saw a child in a playground

All free with freedom of soul

Trying to reach up the slide

Slipping her footsteps

She was ignorant and innocent

That

Life will give slip EARTH under her feet!

Whenever there is a good thing ahead

It is Rule of Nature

or

A Man Made Desire to let others fall

I am feeling worried about that innocent SOUL

How will she learn to place her feet firmly

but

I am rest assured that everyone has to learn some lessons

to

Live in this World of Desires!

And False Hopes!

So dear KID

Don’t be disappointed and don’t cry

You will learn to get your share

From this World of Survival

and

You have to learn it fast to be alive

With all glory and calmness

So stay blessed my child

You are getting a rehearsal to live

A life that s more or less of ordinary!!

Hunger and Poverty Leads a Man to Crimes and Insanity!!

Poverty and Hunger are Humanity's Basic Concerns

Have you ever wandered as what are the biggest issues of most of the people of the world? They are not concerned about the new versions of iPhone or the Smart Application for Television. They do not want to see 3D Films is Luxurious Multiplexes or to ride if Ferries and Cruises. They do not want to takes rise in the wonder world of Disneyland. SO what is their need, want and desire? They want a decent amount of FOOD and Security for themselves!

They are not running behind Gadgets and the Ferrari or Limousines, and they do not keep Great Dreams in their Eyes. They eyes have not sufficient water to waste to castles and cars. They want to get rid of their Poverty Stricken LIFE, and to live a decent and reasonable life. They want regular food and small shelter called HOME. So they are facing Famine, Wars, Genocides and Lack of Education!

If you look at the Third World Countries of Asia and Africa then you will see that their major battle with life is for having a Two Time Meal, Clean Water and Shelter along with a Law and Order Situation in Hand. They are not concerned with World Politics and Cold Wars. They do not want to know how much satellites are set for space. If NASA has explored Mars or going to find a New Galaxy! 

They need enough of grains and water to nourish themselves and their children. Have you ever seen that painful picture where a hunger stricken “African Child” was crawling on his knees to reach out for Red Cross provided food camp? You know that a photographer who captured the agonizing picture went to so much of Guilt and Regret that she did “Suicide” after few months. Though she was awarded so many awards and prizes, but the alarming sense of regret to showcase a Human Tragedy Struck her Soul and she could not Stand Anymore!

It is so wide and clear that a Soul Struck with Guilt, and in an order to get into other man’s shoes often results in such suicides. These ‘Suicide’ attempts might be Physical or Spiritual. It is just a moment inside human mind and soul when it can’t stand anymore, and decide to go with a flow or to find some kind of escape!

But the matter of fact that I want to highlight here is that no matter how much this world grows as a modern and luxurious place. It hardly matters as if the new inventions and discoveries are eye opening and widen our minds!

But it all stands at a far lower level than feeding a “hungry mother or a child”. If we are able to control to control Poverty and Hunger from all Parts of the World. I am going to guarantee that we will see an amazing decline in Crime Rate, and also in Psychological Disorders that Humanity is facing to a much great level these days!!
