Movies, Actors and their work!

13 is an unlucky, haunting number for most of the people. Oceans 13 is not so actually for the team. A sleek, simple, stylish movie. I was watching it for the 2nd time yesterday. Brad Pitt and Matt Damon were my focus in the movie yesterday. Not to mention about Clooney and Pacino, they were at their best as usual.

Apart, the work from Brad and Matt made me think about the professionalism they follow in Hollywood. When you see regional films the character of a particular actor is carried forward to his next movie. The character of the actor portrayed in his previous film shadows in his next film too. Its not like that in Hollywood. I had watched Brad's earlier movie 'Babel' and Matt in 'Departed'. Both the films are of a different genre.

Brad played a role of a husband struggling to protect his wife who is shot during a tour to Moroccan Desert in the movie 'Babel'. A very tight packed emotional movie setting off a chain of events around the world, its said to be Brad's best performance ever.

Matt plays a role of an informant to the organized gangland chief in 'Departed'. He is implanted in the State Police Department by the chief. A war by the Police Department to set an end to organized crime, Matt plays the role with perfection and ease.

Oceans13 which is completely in contrast to their previous movies and their performance in the movie keeps you hooked and enjoyable. Overall, revenge is a funny thing for these guys in the movie. A movie worth watching provided you had watched 11 and 12 earlier.

The actors’ performances in the above movies are many thousand times far high than what we see regionally. The professionalism they display in their work is what differentiates Hollywood from Indian Cinema. Otherwise, Indian Cinema is on par with World Cinema. In fact, Indian movies and stars have an equal fan following with their Hollywood counterparts. Whatever it is, good movies with different genre always click in box office.
