You Have Got Mail - The Movie

Yesterday i saw the movie "YOU HAVE GOT MAIL". I know its a pretty old movie and most of you would have seen and enjoyed it but only yesterday i got a chance to see it. To describe the movie in a single word - "EXCELLENT". Tom Hanks played the role of a big business guy who starts a big book shop -FOX BOOKS- in New York. Just a couple of blocks away from this bookstore, Meg Ryan runs a 42 year old small bookstore. Due to the opening of the new bookstore, the bookstore of Meg Ryan is forced to shut down.

But both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are good friends through internet by exchanging regular mails but the main important thing is that they dont know each other's identity. They never talk about personal things nor sex. They talk about general things like books, music etc etc... And finally they fell in love with each other but in a more romantic and dramatic way. The most important thing about this movie is that i never felt that i was watching a movie which was not of native language ,i.e, i felt like watching a tamil movie. Yes, i never felt the nativity difference.

The main reason for this may be because of both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan who were really great on screen and had a great chemistry between them especially when they fight. One cannot label it as a romantic movie or drama or comedy because it has a mixture of all those in it. This was the real good movie i watched after RANG DE BASANTI. Most of the movies never affect me in anyway after watching it and there are very few movies which have a great impact on me. And now this is the first english movie which gets into that list.

Most of ManiRatnam's and Shankar's movie always affect me for a longer period of time. If you had seen me some 5 years back, i would have watched all the movies within a couple of weeks of their release. So you can imagine, how crazy i have been about movies. But these days i have become very choosy about the movies which i watch. The main reason for this is the quality of the movie has gone down drastically. Most of the movies are just a brushing work of some old ones. Its really irritating to watch the same story again and again.

But still good movies are produced now and then. And the movies which i am eagerly waiting to see are DA VINCI CODE(which i think would be released in third week of this month), SIVAJI(Shankar-Rajini-AR Rahman-AVM combo) and GURU(a ManiRatnam movie). I am damn sure i would be enjoying these movies to the core.
