Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Last Friday saw us in R Mall. It’s a huge shopping complex in Mulund with four floors and a large variety of stores to offer you thousands of items to buy. On the top floor are the Adlabs screens. We, in total twelve people, had bought our tickets through Internet. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with the measure by which Internet has made our lives simpler. Paying electric bills and credit card dues are so effortless and the best thing is that I no longer need to waste my time standing in long queues for a movie ticket or a railway reservation. So without much hassle, we were inside the hall.
The movie was pretty good. I got what I expected from a Harry Potter movie and undoubtedly (at least for me) it is the best Harry Potter movie made so far. It was also the best movie I have seen in the recent past (last few months). It was a relief in the realm of bogus Hindi films (expect a few, of course!).
The story was quite straightforward to understand. Given that I have not read the original book, you can count on that statement. However, if you don’t know anything more about Harry Potter except his name, you are not going to catch the whole of it. One of my friends was such an ignorant fellow. He didn’t even know that Harry goes to Hogwarts to study or anything for that matter related to the stories. By the time he understood the first scene*, the movie had already reached the interval -:) So if you haven’t read any of the books or watched none of the films, better get a crash course. Make sure that you know that someone named Lord Voldemort is the villain of the story.
If you are a crazy Potter maniac, you have already watched the movie, haven’t you? If you are in doubt, to watch or not to watch the movie, just book a ticket now. You will enjoy (remember you must be a Potter literate). If you hate Harry Potter, if you boast that you don’t watch movies made for kids, go to hell!
(* The first scene is a tricky one, don’t apply too much brain on that. You will understand its significance eventually.)
