Before anyone reading this article I must confess that I am quite a regular movie watcher and i do love movies.When you are reading this article if any movie names comes to your mind it should be only a pure coincidence.
Here goes the 7 types of stories in movies.
1)Love/Romance Movies
=================
These are the worst type of movies and I really hate to watch any kind of movies in this category. The hero whatever be his age falls in love with the heroine at the first sight and then they both try to get their love to a success, some of them where school going people if i remember correctly. I always feel that one should not put the title card once the hero and heroine marry. They should show how they struggle in life after getting married in school life.Second sub category in this is heroine/hero is a rowdy in a college and the hero/heroine tries to put up a fight with them which eventually ends up in love.Some years ago there was a trend where in they started loving without seeing each other through telephones,letters, mails and other modern communication equipments which nowadays after these films are mainly used for this purpose. Another season is heroes never tell their love but they roam behind heroines unable to say their love.Another category which was recently introduced was hero and heroine tries all drama to make their family accept their love.And in all this category a comedian, what ever his real age be, will be a college student will be helping the hero who will be of his son's age.
2)Revenge Stories
==============
Villain/Villains/Villi kills anyone of hero's family member or abuse his family members. The hero then takes a oath and finally wins the battle.
3)Hero Oriented Movies
==================
The prime minister/Chief Minister/any minister is plotted to be killed or terrorists' plans any attack on India or Police tries to tackle with a smuggler and the so.Our one and only hero , even if he is a constable of Tamil Nadu police he will be conducting meetings with all the high commanders of Indian defence force and will be speaking in Tamil in the meetings. The terrorist, even if he is from Pakistan will definitely speak tamil with an awkward accent.Even if 1000 people are to be going with him to capture the terrorists , finally our hero is the only one who will capture him speaking 10 page dialogues. Actually its because of the dialogues the villains fall.
Another category which has recently come up in this is hero is a simple guy who lives in a very normal locality and every rowdy in that locality fears him because he starts saying punch dialogues and shouts at high pitch "aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii".
4)Supernatural powers Movies
=======================
We had quite a good many number of entertaining Mariyatha , kaliatha and the so movies in tamil wherein all the athaas try to show up their presence via computer graphics and do all the gimmicks.
5)Action Movies
============
This has a close relation with hero oriented movies. The only difference being hero is always serious in this kind of movies.Some of the famous tricks include trying to kick the villains with every part of their body by climbing in a wall , twisting their bodies by 20 times , throwing away the villain by 200 feet , breaking villains bones by a simple knock ,winning over 100+ people,catching bullets in hands and making them a bomb, catching the bomb and throw it back on the villain, flying in cars, racing in motor bikes, driving an aeroplane and god knows what. In this kind even if the hero falls from a 100 storey building , he will walk away without even a scratch in his body.One another category you will see blood through out the movie to make sure that its an action movie. The characters usually speak chennai accent.
6)Village type Movies
===================
The hero or his Dad will be a local don and every one in that area will put their dothies down and tie the towels in their halves if they happen to hear their name .There was even an extent of putting the sand like vibhoothi on which the hero walked.The hero used to give judgement always under a huge banyan tree with 10 other people sitting with him always agreeing to what he says. Some major judgements will be given here.If the hero gives a judgement wrong he even goes to the extent of dying like the Pandyan king in Silapathikaram. If you need a dictionary for every bad word in tamil go watch these movies. The characters of these movies usually speak in coimbatore or Tiruneveli acccent.
7)Gangster Movies
==============
Hero does everything against the law and takes law in his own hands ,only to make sure that the poor people get their living rights and they get all necessities.They are glorified through out the movie even if they kill dozens of people , smuggle goods and do all things against the law.Finally they become PM/CM/atleast an MLA.
Other than these there are a very movies which comes in Kids category, real life character depiction,comedy and the so.
Tips when watching Tamil movies
=========================
1)When you see all tamil deities coming in graphics/there is atleast one animal to help the hero/heroine / a snake doing a disco dance/ Snake doing typewriting/ goat reading the number plates/ cow going to police station to file a complaint/ Elephant playing cricket you can be sure that its a film by director Rama Narayanan
2)If you see close up shots of eyes becoming red you can close your eyes and say they are Vijayakanths'.
3)In all terrorist movies there will be dfefintely a song where in the hero and friends are tied up by villains and the heroine dances glamourously pouring wine or any anaesthetic to make the villain group unconscious and untie the hero group.
4)If you see bright colors in movies and your eyes are strained and next day you have to go to an eye doctor the actor in the film is undoubtedly Ramarajan
5)If you see a guy who jumps with a heroine who is 1/20th of his age and 1/30th of his size , also trying to torture the heroine by bending her, pushing her, lifting her up watch more carefully. It might be Vijayakanth doing a duet dance.
6)If you see someone pointing hands at you and talking something rubbish then it might be Vijay or Ajith.
7)If you see a college student who is of Professors age roaming behind heroine but unable to express his love , it is Murali
8)If you see someone talking nonsense rhymingly without even me saying you know who it is..T.R...
9)If you see some one doing exercise with the heroine for a duet song then its Bagiyaraj.
Keep Smiling :)

The Difference
TWO WOMEN TALKING:
===================
Woman 1: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!
Woman 2: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she gave me the mirror. I mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking?
Woman 1: No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but Ithink my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff Ithink.
Woman 2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. Iwas actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accentmy long neck.
Woman 1: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from these football player shoulders of mine
Woman 2: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have yourshoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms,see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.

NOW TWO MEN TALKING
====================
Man 1: Haircut?
Man 2: Yeah
Excerpts from HER & HIS diaries
HER DIARY
I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing."I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him, but he simply smiled and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you too."
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him, as ifhe wanted nothing to do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent.
Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed.
I decided that I could not take it anymore, so Idecided to ! confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.I started crying and cried until I fell asleep.I do not know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY
Today India lost the cricket match again. DAMN IT.

Simple...Simpler....Simplest
School Life - Most of us could never forget these days where in we were like butterflies without any troubles in life. When we were kids we always used to think that we are the ones who have the most troubles in life like studying for exams, getting good marks, participating in a competition, winning prizes and the so.We always wanted to grow big soon now knowing what was waiting there for us.
I always believe that we not only learn text lessons but also life lessons in school. If you ask any school student which subject they like the most , they will say the subject whose teacher they like the most. One of my aunt who was a teacher used to tell me "I like being a school teacher because you get the hero/heroine worship there". Thats very true. If school kids are impressed by the teachers ,they like the subject they teach. How many teachers from your school days do yoou remember. I am sure you will remember the ones whom you liked.
Its a great responsibility for the teachers to make students like the subject. Studies should be always simple. When i was learning graphs in Maths in school days , they just taught me how to plot the graphs.I was confused and i used to think what is this plotting going to do in my life.Instead if they could have taught me with a practical example i know i would have understood it much better.
When i learnt Trigonometry i never had a clue what cosine , sine and tan angles will do for me in life. I never understood why i was studying them.Later in life you understand their practical meanings.But when you are learning them initially if you had been told what it is for, why it is for, where it is used and how it is used our perspective would have been different.
Lesson go well into your head when they come with simple practical examples. I really don't know if this is the case only with me or everyone.When a kid is learning maths instead of asking him to count 2+2 ask him what would you get when you add two more chocolates? He would learn it better.There is a way of learning everything. Understanding and learning will yield good results.The teachers should help the students to make them understand things better.
Some famous quotes by Einstein:
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.– Albert Einstein
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.– Albert Einstein
I tried to imagine the easiest way God could have done it.– Albert Einstein
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."
