Inside Llewyn Davis

 Inside Llewyn Davis

Inside a failing artist

Directed by Coen Brothers, the film features the likes of Isaac Oscar, Justin Timberlake, Adam Driver and many other star casts, is a rather unique portrayal of darkness, depression and failure through the lens of a struggling folk singer Llewyn Davis played by Oscar Isaac. Here, the protagonist is a New York City folk singer who is perpetually broke, homeless and starving. Having no good friendship or relationship,he moves door to door asking friends if he could spend the night. In his quest of success he makes a journey to Chicago to set deals with record companies only to return empty handed. This movie is definitely dark with the colour pattern being in dark shades almost all the time setting up in the snowy winter as hinted by its exceptional cinematography. The frustration and disappointment is seen vividly in Llewyn's face after his return from Chicago. He gets bitter and cold and the movie continues with further depression infused scenes. Finally, the movie ends with a scene of  Llewyn singing his final song "Fare Thee Well". Right after his song a young folk artist sets to perform next- A young Bob Dylan just at the start of his career. The scene depicting Llewyn's leaving the stage and Dylan entering signifies a philosophical outlay of human life-" One man's loss is another man's opportunity".The character is played brilliantly by Oscar Isaac where he plays all the folk songs by himself. The movie made nominations for two academy awards. A movie loved by critics and felt by audiences is one of the most extraordinary movies of the 2010 decade.

If I ever meet her

                       If I ever meet her The girl sitting right next to me, beautiful she is with her eyes in glee. Embedding on her face a blissful smile, innocent she looked one hundred percentile. Her voice echoed and my heart melted, holding her hand was what I wanted. A simple text fixed the compound task, Ok! the date was set and my stress in bask. Wearing the suit my father's best, what this Newar did entails the rest. Candle light a fantasy and dance in vain, endogamy for this Newar was only the gain. Tea ignited talks and coffee cultivated charms, watching her sip tipped my cold eyes warm. Her playful eyes hit all the sixers, tricking my brain to doubt the pictures. Then her soft hands holded my bruised wrist, thrilled you are? Haha...wait for the twist. I was joyful at the scene, the beauty came closer and held her eyes pristine. Moved I ahead but felt something strange, holding a pillow w...

A Diary from Cotton University

 A Diary from Cotton University  The Cotton journey started on a rather strange winter with mask engulfed humans crawling their way to a new horizon of the unknown. The uncountable number of whatsapp groups and messages from unknown accounts flooding the chat box with greetings all over was sufficient to make any hard geek feel special. Slowly and firmly, over days and  nights, over notes and introductions, some bonds started to feel like home, and would rather like to put it as "new homies". The dry december surfed its way out to a bloomy spring. However, the continuity was whipped off to a halt, when the 2nd wave of COVID smashed our maiden semester exams. Over protests of exams being offline and the numerous procrastination driven online scrolls, the exam preparation lay low. Finally, the examinations were walled down and extended to the later online module only when the preventable virus infected the faculty and students indiscriminately. The following months passed i...
