pulp fiction !
A friend of mine was saying she read somewhere that PULP FICTION's climax was rated among the best ever film endings in a movie...! I was wondering how someone can just pick up a great film and arrive at the conclusion that its ending was great etc etc... A film is a film and every film has it own climax...Couple of days ago, another friend of mine was saying our very own Mungaru male was a film without a climax...! But, actually i thought that was quite a powerful way to end a movie... in terms of.... that last shot where Ganesh is standing back to the camera... out of focus and there is the 'grave' of the irritating devdas.. (if i am not wrong) in the foreground... I call that shot a 'collective shot'. Twas a 'collective shot' because it kind of brought together all the elements that made that film under one roof... ! Sandy boy.... try n think about it..!
Now, back to PULP FICTION and endings.... a films ends when there is a titlecard that says 'THE END'. All said and done.... in every story telling exercise ... no matter how interesting the story telling is...people are always waiting for that 'climax..'.. CLIMAX yenu? CLIMAX yenu?....
PULP FICTION probably was one of the greatest films of the 90s...with a climax befitting that film... that's all.
NAM's climax was what came in for a lot of discussion during the scripting stage... Most people wanted me to change it ..or were unsure of the climax of the film. Till date, I maintain...the very reason for me doing NAM ...the core reason for me doing the film is its last shot....
M watching PULP FICTION again today!

Well Koushi!! I didn't like the climax as the hero of the story turns out to be a loser and he is hailed for doing that.(Preethi Amara ,Tyagha Madhura..)!!!!
Ending a film with an out of focus shot !!yes i agree with you it is a powerful visual expression...
when the hero fails,why care about the imagery which hails him!!!
Hi Arvind,
Again after reading your blog on the climax on NAOD, my waiting for the movie is reaching unbelievable heights!!
Even one of the comments by rakshith in the other topic made me go crazy about the movie!!
BTB, who is rakshith? .. Is he one of the crew member of NAOD?..
