If you don’t understand, then go backwards from the climax with a question in mind ‘Why?’. These films require context to appreciate.ĭo you remember the white car which comes to Soumya’s house with her future husband? That car does have a huge role in Mahesh’s revenge. You should watch these movies right now to help improve your filmmaking skills. New age movies like Thondimuthalum Drisakshiyum, Aaranya Kandam, Maheshinte Prathikaram, Visaranai teaches many things which no film school can ever teach you. There are so many things you cannot learn from a film school. They have their own big parts to play in the story, Pothan simply presented his story without any over dramatic attempts to show how good he is. Each and every actors, jr artists, puppy, every shop were the characters of this small movie. What Dileesh Pothan created for Maheshinte Prathikaram is a small town called ‘Prakash’. The best part of Pothan is his obsessive attention to detail. I like him the most because he does not spoon-feed audience but everything is presented quite realistically. Laced with a beautiful and powerful soundtrack, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum is more-realistic-than so called movies releasing with the tag-line ‘Realistic Movie’. After watching Thondimuthalum Drisakshiyum, I simply went back to his first, Maheshinte Prathikaram and I couldn’t stop myself from writing this post. The uncompromising Dileesh Pothan is one such director. If you really like such film directors, you could watch their films and try to learn what camera angles they uses, how long their shots are, why certain shots are very lengthy or too shot, and how does they achieve their style. They are very hard working, they prepare so much before switching on the camera and they are very gifted. We know how Maniratnam uses short dialogues to convey heavy emotions we know how Denis Villeneuve uses flash-backs & flash-forwards to get into your mind and we know characters in Mysskin movies move comically but still convey deep emotions. Great filmmakers have a distinct visual language that sets them apart from other filmmakers.
