  Awaara 1951

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  There was so much movie in this movie.

  In awe of 20-something RK for directing, producing, starring as the lead, and delivering a classic. Especially as a director, you can see that the man has such a deep understanding of and love for cinema.

  The run time almost did me in (why are there so many songsss?!), but I was rooting for this awaara.
  Who doesn't love a cinematic takedown of anthropological criminology served with a heavy dose of socialism?

  Fallen Angels 1995

  ★★★★½ Watched 03 Jun 2024

  it's not a movie
  it's a map of urban melancholia, it's a midnight drive through a tunnel under the dim city lights, it's a mooood!

  Princess Mononoke 1997

  ★★★★★ Added

  Princess Mononoke will always be special to me, both, for being the first Ghibli film I ever watched, and for evoking in me a piercing sense of awe and reverence for our natural world and ecology; we tend to grow imperceptive to how magical it all truly is!

  PS: Shoutout to Mike Shinoda for shouting-out Princess Mononoke in a Linkin Park BTS video I stumbled upon during my emo phase, which was how I found Studio Ghibli.
