It continually amazes me to see the kind of creativity that comes out of American movies and TV. As I finally watched Sucker Punch this week, this was more evident than ever.

There is so much creativity in the telling of this story. When I compare that against the real run of the mill rubbish we see in bollywood or on Indian tv...I quite literally, have no words.

I think that, in the Bollywood paradigm:

• a movie like Sucker Punch wouldn't have been conceptualized
• if we assume for a second that it could have been, no one would have been ready to fund it
• if it had been funded, not one 'mainstream'ish actor would have found the script worthy enough (and)
• if one had, they probably couldn't actually have pulled it off
• very few people would have gone to watch it
• some politician would have opposed the way young girls were portrayed, and possibly, banned it
• All in all, it would have been a big enough mess to deter anyone from even voicing the idea

On 100% of current Indian television, we still haven't gotten past the 'oh-my-god my mother-in-law is insane' storyline.

It's sad really. 

Harry Potter and GoF: Overall 4.75 stars
Very well made, indeed, considering they had to squeeze twice the size compared to PoA in the same time frame.
I wasn't too crazy about the ending...they could've spent more time explaining and less time sending the Durmstrangs and Beauxbatons away. Ah well.
Lord Voldemort was pretty well done, as were the three tasks.
Avada Kedavra. Green light.
