love for colours!

Some movies make you think and some movies you would like to just walk out but there might be some movies , where you wuld like the screen to just freeze and relive that very moemnt again and again! . i feel that when i go for sanjay leela bhasali’s movies. I know people dnt agree on that, but every screen of his movie, every movie image is like a dream sequence of your life.
You would have to see again, think again and dream again to understand that. I might make it look like some phyics fomula here, but that is what his movie does to you.
I would like to just talk about guzaarish : saw it yesterday and yes there were momemnts where i wanted it to freeze. Not to relive that moment. I just could not. I wanted him to relive it. I wanted him to dance for me , for ever and ever and ever. I wanted his body to movie. That was what i wanted hrithik to do. There he was lying down on the bed and here i was waiting for him to get up and be the hero.
There is something about our heores : we always want them to b happy, tragic is not for us. But sanjay leela bhansali loves romantising with tragedies, or ill rephrase it , he likes romanticsing with suffereing. And show it as it is. Not less nor more. He will give it colour and music and the tone which he feels is right.
Blue, green or red was not the colour i would associate with the man lying down there. But there were colours aplashed across the mvoie. And yet it never was out of frame. Eery time he smiled, ther ewas colour , everytime he cried there was music. Every time he felt there was silence. Every sensation had to be alert. The audience wanted to feel atleast for sometime, how life can be simple or so less complicated.
If he could glide and serenade the ballloon , if he could play iwth the candle and if he could dance with a lovely woman i have nver seen on screen before. If all of this was life of some magician , then i would say he lived his life . complete.
Idea of euthansia, was the thread where he wanted people to hold. But i guess the frames were too big for euthansia to hold on. Even he had judegment in his favour, the stpry would have remained the same. Its not about the end . it was just about the journey and it was about every small trick of his,. Which had music to partner and dance to sing it.
If mother mary was the thme and we had ave maria as the backdrop, then ash did justice to her role. I like when woman get simple yet complicated roles. And i love it when they are tough and are fighting the love of their life. I would not say , it is hritik here. It is the idea of love here. It was not about his life but about every life that was connected to it .
It was guzaarish to give up their lives which was stuck with him.
Or maybe guzaarush to relive a life which was stuck in the past and with colours which had faded out.
