Re: Black
I enjoyed the acting, cinematography and music of this movie but I can’t give it a thumb up. Just because this Indian movie was different and it has no songs it doesn’t mean that it was a ‘great’ movie like everyone is saying here. There was too much overacting from Amitabh. I don’t blame him for that. He is a great actor but in this movie he has overdone his performance. Especially in the beginning part he was just too loud and obnoxious. They kept repeating in the movie that Michelle is blind and deaf girl NOT a mental case so why that girl kept acting like a retard throughout the whole movie. How many blind people you see in your real life who walk like Charlie Chaplin? Why there were so many dialogues (more than half of them) in English? It seems like the director was confused and couldn’t make up his mind whether he wants this movie in Hindi or English. Why everyone had Christians names and everyone dressed like English people when the movie was shot in Shimla, India. The set was too English inspired and didn’t show any hint that people in the movie were Indians. In other words I have never seen so many “brown Angraiz” all at one place in my wholelife. Very unrealistic and artificial set and characters. Thumbs down for me.
