All I See Is You a movie that deals with the many trials and tribulatins of relationships, where audiences come face to face with raw human emotions.
‘All I See Is You’ is a movie i watched about a week ago. Technically, the lockdown hadn’t started then but i have been homebound since March 16th.
Initially, I thought the time would pass with days of binge-watching Netflix and that I would finally have the time to relax. But there’s a limit to how much a person can chill and I am now getting tired of doing so. Post chilling, when my mind started working again, I took matters into my own hands and made sure I stayed sane, happy and healthy during these trying times.
I started a few things and made some much needed lifestyle changes and for now, life seems good.
Coming back to the movie, it’s i think, one of those movies that are grossly underrated. It could also be that the audience needs to be in a certain frame of mind to truly understand the movie because a large part of it is left unsaid. Just like life, not everything comes with a narration and subtitles, accompanied with simply black and white realities. Life, in my opinion, is a boat swimming in the greys.
I don’t know how many have watched this movie but if you do plan to, be ready to come face to face with a lot of raw human emotions. These are the kind of emotions that a lot of relationships are afraid to acknowledge. Some relationships work because one person is the dominant one, “taking care” of the other, making all important life decisions, steering the wheels in the couple’s relationship, while the other, in comparison, is subservient. So, what happens when a person who has never been a decision maker and has always been a dependent in a relationship realised his/her self worth? Would the relationship still remain the same?A lot of relationships are “working out” because one person out of the two have not realised his/her true potential and then the other derives power out of this.
I have always believed, not knowing something is not innocence. Not being capable is not innocence. Because someday when such a person “knows” and is “capable”, you never know what kind of a human they might turn out to be. I always like people who know and then choose their path.
Anyway, the highpoint of the movie was the cute song played on the guitar and the gazillion thoughts it leaves you with. Blake Lively and Jason Clarke have acted well as always. After Zero Dark Thirty, I was looking forward to seeing Jason Clarke in a different genre and he didn’t disappoint me either.
If you like dark movies dealing with raw human emotions, give it a shot.

Be it a working or a homemaker mother, every parent needs a support system to be able to manage their children, housework, and mental health.
Let me at the outset clarify that when I mention ‘work’ here, it includes ANY work. So, it could be the work at home done by a homemaker parent or it could be work in a professional/entrepreneurial environment.
Either way, every parent struggles to find that fine balance between ‘work’ and ‘parenting’, especially with younger kids who still need high emotional and physical support from their caretakers. And not just any balance, but more importantly, balance that lets them keep their own sanity intact!
I watched a Tamil movie Kadaisi Vivasayi (The Last Farmer), recommended by my dad, on SonlyLiv, and many times over again since my first watch. If not for him, I’d have had no idea what I would have missed. What a piece of relevant and much needed art this movie is!
It is about an old farmer in a village (the only indigenous farmer left), who walks the path of trouble, quite unexpectedly, and tries to come out of it. I have tried my best to refrain from leaving spoilers, for I want the readers to certainly catch up on this masterpiece of director Manikandan (of Kakka Muttai fame).
The movie revolves around the farmer who goes about doing his everyday chores, sweeping his mud-house first thing in the morning, grazing the cows, etc and living a simple but contented life. He is happy doing his thing, until he invites trouble for himself out of the blue, primarily because he is illiterate and ignorant.
