Super Deluxe
Unabashed interpretation of sexual and human misgivings
My effort to understand
Upping the Ante with uber cool
writing …..
Humanised transgender, trivialised theism and the associative schema of
the psyche, empathised infidelity and emphasised excuse unfettered by moral
restraint, porn for sexual gratification and a porn star for a family member, a
sexual predator in uniform who makes unwelcome lascivious advances to the neutral
and opposite genders, theory of evolution explained for layman.
And when you begin to think people can’t do much with the word
eccentric, there’s an alien’s view of beauty that puts to shame a male’s vision
of beauty.
Actor – Character - My Take
Vijay sethupathi in
trance as the transgender Shilpa –Heart felt maybe repentant
Mysskin as Arputham
- a confused believer and a performer of miracles - Masterful
Fahad Faisal as Mukhil
– A stuggling wannabe actor - the transformed husband dealing with infidelity –
Subtle and nuanced,
Samantha as Vaembu
- Flagrantly “open” champion of
infidelity - Best performance to date in
her career
Bhagavathi perumal –as
Berlin - A horny buffon in uniform who gets his way when sees wrong– Amazingly eccentric
portrayal
Gayathrie – A traditional
wife who waits all her life for the company of a person who consummated their
marriage –Enough
Ramya Krishnan as Leela
– An erstwhile pornstar exposed by todays cult – Mahismathi could never overdo
her role – apt
Ashwanth Ashokkumar
– A kind in anticipation of Father – A gender neutral child genuinely content just
on having a parent as “dad” – Marvellous performance
Cinematography – It was claimed that two were
involved. But this one is a seamless integration. Cant comment more owing to
lack of technical knowledge. But there is a similarity in the Background music
of yesteryears and the consistent frames used like in Aaranya Kandam.
Summary - A movie of amoral thrills
sensitised and rationally explained to the minute detail. A dissertation on
what people perceive as Amoral when they are not part of the act and the
fallacy of human mind when they are a part of it.
All amoral acts as construed by family members
are to be condoned in an existential crisis by expletive thoughts of
rationality dumbed down to us the laymen? Sexual urges can cause collateral
damage? Find out before it is too late. Super deluxe might not stand the
test of time in theatres. Though commercially, it has veiled cheap thrills to superficially
exhilarate the normal, who may enjoy it when no one’s noticing and be a
contagiously corrupting influence bad mouthing it to people around for his/her
own good. More often than not the questions asked of us by Kumaraja weren’t open
to public view, but this attempt asks questions which as a common man I do not
have answers for. Please do watch and promote.
