priti said:Would love to continue with my thoughts on the worldbut think that might hijack this thread...to be honest its not many times that i get all flared up about the subject in question...it all gets a bit blurred in the reality that greed is the most basic amongst all other aspects of human nature....or maybe the whole system is setup to project that...and if sumit dahiya is reading this post...dont get me wrong....greed can lead to good things too like the developmental aspects of capitalism...

)... and really on a more serious note: If one has been to an all boys schooling the subject of the movie is actually much more real than surreal...brawls, bullys and bashing (getting and giving); all 'b's are associated closely to you! Heh! Heh!...There is something so primaly cleansing to loosen that tie, roll up the sleeves and jump right into some pure fist-fighting and no-holds-barred action (the fact that you get hauled to the Principal's office afterwards, and mom never really appreciates that true complexity and badge of honor value of a torn shirt is besides the point)...it can be both exhilarating and degrading (the latter specially when all you ever saw of the action was a black eye and dirt! )...so I think the guy's here probably loved the subject...(and I too would be interested to know the women's take!)

Personally I thought the whole idea of the 'Fight Club' was very-very interesting...the whole dual identity going....we all are prey to it at times, are we not!?! (ok, maybe that is a pandora box, and I will leave it alone! LOL...
I think this dude Edward Norton is just brilliant in this movie and have loved his; 'Italian Job', 'American History X', 'The score' (another Heist subject), 'Primal fear' etc. movies!...Don't get me wrong; Brad Pitt was simply awesome with his whole toned muscles look and the unrestrained crazy act but I think this guy Norton stole the show with his almost pyscho kinda acting in the movie.....
....my favorite is laddo (it talks about female rights )shailendra said:Just bumping up a good thread...
Also, how about to make it even more interesting (and thoughtful; rather than rattling off all the movies one can think of) if we talk about the greatest/creative movies UNDER various categories: for example; The categories could be anything like- The best Sports, War, Western, Chick-Flick etc. etc. kinda Movie....???
(I mean, one can even come up with their own category; like for example: the best Super Nerdy or Based on a Book Movie...

ps. By the way: For the readers benifit: I am attaching my own short hand-drawn doodling with the animation field here....Very sketchily/rough done, it's on a Horse in motion, my favourite topic done a while back (yes, I dream of becoming a part of some animation movie when I grow up! LOL
good to see the sceptics here...something different i see in your post is Fargo and Bonnie and Clyde....do u know our desi bunty aur bubbly is a copy of bonnie and clyde...just with a happy ending......vinodks said:
.......and loved the soundtrack too....shailendra said:Yes, this being a topic near to the heart, I had to come back even after quoting: 'The Lion King' first...
I proffered that one as the best and most creative of the litter, because I strongly believe that the true art of animation/cartoon movies comes from the hand drawn, 2-D type of frame by frame animation!...(‘Lion King’, ‘Tarzan’, ‘Beauty and The beast’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Snow white’, ‘Bambi’ etc etc.)....and when you start getting into the realm of 3-d computer animation....even the sky is not the limit...it just becomes unfair comparison!...
Also, it is sad to see Disney, after having been the leader for so many years and having created all those classics for children of all ages....to finally succumb to the pressures and now getting into the rat race of Computer Graphics themselves to somehow equal the gains made by the other studio’s (Pixar, Dreamworks and the others with their famous hits: ‘The Incredibles’, ‘Shark Tales’, ‘Finding Nemo’ etc.)…finally to come out with Disney's very own ‘Chicken Little’ now…
Anyways: that being my own personal pet peeve, I guess I understand one needs to change with the times and accept the inevitable (I mean Disney was losing money on their recent ‘Treasure Planet’, El-Dorado and ‘Atlantis’, hand-drawn 2-D animation movies…and can’t be expected to keep doing the same forever and go bankrupt finally!)…
Any thoughts???

i liked finding nemo, the colors n graphic details were very gud, n hey she was not dumb, she jst had dat short term memory loss(Anterograde amnesia.), i guess she was da best character of the movie.priti said:who made finding nemo...was it 2-D or 3-D? its probably my second best animation film after lion king....
Dora was hilarious dumb

] You can even see if you watch closely how some of the frames are unfinished on the rendering, and definitely all of them are very quick pen sketches by me (Also a huge thanks for the 'so natural' compliment, Priti. Well yes, I love drawing horses, can draw one in my sleep, and having studied their running movements etc...definitely helped) and so it was all just basically me trying to play with a new software that I had found and trying to take my sketching skills to the next level of actually adding movement to them....and really after that, didn't know what to do with it and haven't even bothered with it for some time now (it was done a while ago, and I only remembered it when talking about the animation movies here) ) animation program...and then if you ever wanna take the next leap up of a more serious stuff; then maybe you can think of the most popular Computer animation Program 'Flash'.
