Jugnuma - The Fable - PRSPCTVS Prdctns

 First off - Manoj Bajpayee - forgot to mention in my Bihari actors idols list

https://youtu.be/XyqKntAgPLA watch me wax eloquent about the movie


Slow movies set in the Himalayas, where my home is, entertain me a lot

Because they make me nostalgic, and make me think about ecotourism

Typo subtitles - village chief's daughter's wedding - double wedding trip

Jugnuma is set in 1989 so there are quite a few anachronisms but it's ok

It's ponderously slow in most parts, it's very laid-back - until it fires up lit

Shot in high def but shown in grainy old-timey cigarette burns [fight club]

A little brother asks older sister to come out of the room and play - frozen

Firefly jugnu flying in sync and their surreal swarm light pulsing collectively

Movies are make-believe, so we suspend our disbelief - this was too slow

But sometimes we need to slow down a little to appreciate our privilege :)

No nature was harmed in the making of this film - i like this NEW disclaimer

Well Played, India!

:) I thought it was going to be over in the previous over... On an unrelated note, while the video uploads: Breaking Bad is awesome! I Alt-Right through the longer conversations, and see through some of Aaron Paul's melodrama, but hey, it's good entertainment. Can't wait for Season Four.

Quotes
