here is a sweet and innocent parable about a boy who could fly - and about a girl who could fly , too , when the boy held her hand . the lesson the girl learns in this film is that anything is possible , if only you have faith . the movie could have been directed 50 years ago by frank capra , except that in the capra version , the boy wouldn ' t have been autistic and the girl wouldn ' t have been grieving because of the recent suicide of her father , who was dying of cancer . parables have harder edges these days .

an autistic boy who dreams of flying touches everyone he meets , including a new family who has moved in after their father dies .

the film was pulled from most cinemas after only five days due to bad box office results . some scenes were altered and the film returned to cinemas with a new name , " gutten som kunne fly " . ( the boy that could fly )

interesting . though obviously nick sells himself short when he refers to it as a vanity band . and now i have to rewatch halloween : apparently it contains some hidden coupe - de - villery that has flown right over my head the five thousand or so times that i ' ve watched it . and you know what warms my heart more than the boy who could fly ? the fact that nick castle gave the cast of the boy who could fly lps of waiting out the eighties !

a boy in an orphanage meets a loblolly boy , a boy who can fly and is invisible to most people . the loblolly boy tricks him into trading places . at first he enjoys being a loblolly boy , but soon discovers the downside . the only way to become human again is to exchange lives with someone . but how ? a nice fantasy story with twists and turns and a nice moral at the end .

as " the boy who could fly " unfolds , castle carefully plants the notion that maybe , just maybe , eric really can fly - - even if nobody has seen him do it . now perhaps if milly can just break through to eric , he in turn could give hope to her and her family at a difficult juncture in their lives . . . .

the boy who could fly was , at times , a bit confused . as if norcliffe , an award winning poet , had a hard time distancing himself from the beauty of the verse . still , the story was so completely original and wholly unpredictable , i thought it deserved more than just an " i liked it " rating . the boy who could fly tells the story of the loblolly boy - a boy who is invisible to most of the world around him , has giant green wings and has the ability to trade his existence for another . but as captain bass , the mentor to the loblolly boy , says , " folks often forget that when they are desperate to escape from something , they have to escape into something else . " i finished this quickly and eagerly . i had no idea of the sorts of twists and turns the story would take and i was glad of that .

" the boy who could fly " is a book about an orphaned child , michael , like any ordinary kid , wishes he could fly away . the prologue of this book , i think does a good job at luring people in . there is a boy by name of ben who is moving out of his house with his dad and step - mother . he does not like his step - mother and wishes that he could get away and not have to worry about it . what drew me in to the novel , was not necessarily that i could relate to boy ' s exact story , but that i could relate to his feelings of being frustrated and wishing for all my problems to go away . i think that this is a great aspect of the book , and it is something that kids his age could relate to as well , while reading the book . another aspect of this book that drew me , is the mysterious boy who appears both in the prologue and in the first chapter , and obviously throughout the rest of the book . the mysterious boy says he has a solution to the problems of ben ' s life in the prologue and michael ' s life , which the book is actually about . the details and mentioning of this mysterious boy made me interested in reading the rest of the novel . i don ' t know how detailed this book could get , but it seems like a good book to read for fun and potentially have good discussion questions in a classroom setting .

because of that , the fluoride - salt - cooled design could be smaller and cheaper than standard light - water - cooled reactors . it could also be safer , because most designs don ' t require electric pumps to circulate coolant , and , unlike water , the coolant can ' t boil away . ( in a typical light - water reactor , if the pumps break or the water is lost , the nuclear fuel could overheat and melt down as it did at fukushima daiichi in 2011 . ) and as part of a combined cycle , the reactor could provide constant baseload electricity as nuclear power plants do today while also preheating air for a natural gas turbine , providing fluctuating power to match the highs and lows of solar and wind generation . that means you could make more money off this kind of power plant , further lowering the cost per kilowatt hour of electricity generated .

this book is about a orphaned boy named michael who just wants to leave from the place he has called home . all he wants to be is free and he got just what he wanted when a loblolly boy came along and switched with him . michael soared through the air and was invisible . he was the loblolly boy now . at first michael enjoyed it , but soon finds that it can be a terrible thing . the new loblolly boy met a old captain by the name of captain bass . captain bass has a telescope that tells what can happen at any time . the loblolly boy looked through it and saw two girls and a strange man . michael met all of them and it was a true adventure for sure . i really enjoyed this book and it was a pretty quick read . the downside is it can be confusing at times . there is a few words that aren ' t very appropriate , but they aren ' t as bad as they could be . the book was very interesting with all of the twists and some of the action . it may take a while to read , but it is worth the time . the book is great because you can meet many different characters and the book takes you to many different places . i really recommend this book if you like adventure , fantasy , and mystery .

jayaram ' s ' theerthadanam ' was nominated for the national awards in the recent year , but has been rejected at the last stage .

theerthadanam movie tells the story of a retired school teacher karunakaran ( jayaram ) and vinodhini ( suhasini maniratnam ) . karunakaran , occasionally gets letters . . .

and mahendra said the awards were dominated by just two movies , ` ` theerthadanam ' ' and ` ` megha malhar ' ' . they shared 13 of the 16 awards announced . jayaram , who endeared himself to the tamil audience with his doctor routine in ` ` thenali ' ' , has bagged the best actor award for his sterling performance as an aging teacher in love with his student in ` ` theerthadanam ' ' .

theerthadanam is one of those book based movies that gives you feel of reading a book when you watch the movie . based on a short story by jnanapith m . t . vasudevan nair , this is a simple and sweet movie .

recently i saw the movie adaptation of his short story - “theerthadanam” on t . v - actually i did not find it as brilliant as some of his other works - but then m . t is m . t and there is always a certain aesthetic echelon that is maintained…i had read this story before and feel that full justice has not been accomplished in the adaptation . i am unable to pin point the flaws…and this is not a review… .

employs some classic story telling techniques with theerthadanam . we usually support the protagonist as the story is told from his point of view . what nair does is he tells the whole story from karunakaran ' s perspective and you start feeling for his lost love , and you don ' t care about the vinodhini character . but when the climax happens it turns the whole table and your whole sympathy goes to vinodhini and all your opinion about karunakaran , changes in a minute . he falls in our eyes , as he had enjoyed a good life and all he was doing was chasing his lost love of youth , whereas vinodhini has lost everything .

he was born into an agricultural , aristocratic family . his stories are mostly based on his personal experiences and the characters he grew around with .

there is this retired school teacher - karunakaran…who is leading a reclusive life with his wife…kind of aloof - into his own world of unresolved thoughts and memories . most of the time he spends reliving the past especially those which revolved around one of his students from years ago . this girl - vinodini drops in a letter , card once in a while - and always signs as respectfully vinodini…that she was much more than just another student is shown in intermittent flashes into the past…both the sir and the student had a special soft corner for each other , but left it unsaid…

when the movie begins , we find the aged teacher reading the latest last from his student , in which she has “carelessly” mentioned that she would be visiting the mukambika temple when she was coming on a few days leave in the next few days .

the master who is not exactly bubbling with health tells his wife he would like to visit the mukambika temple in the following days . the wife is worried about his ill health and suggests he take with him the young boy in the neighbourhood - also a relative . the master agrees half heartedly . the master and the boy take leave of his wife and proceed to mukambika . here , we see that the master is of a melancholic dispositon , and his relationship with his wife of many years is a bit hollow - in the sense that while they care for eachother , there is really no “soul mate” - thinking alike kind of relationship – just a very functional , mutually beneficial kind of sharing . the master languishes in his own world - as if stuck to the past , while the wife is a practical , down to earth person . it is not mentioned if their early years where different…she reminds him to take his medicines regularly as he leaves…he is in a hurry to reach the station . .

the master arrives at the temple - he prays at the sanctum sanctorium , he is doing his perambulations around the temple - while his eyes are searching for someone in the crowd . the boy dutifully reminds the master to take his medicine - and is only too happy to stay back in the hotel room and eat …

the sauparnika lake – the surroundings are all beautifully picturised - but i am afraid i did not notice the song that was running in the background…the temple precincts , the crowds - distracted me…and i too was eagerly looking out for somebody…almost as eager as the master himself .

on the second day , the master emerges from the temple tank after his bath , he is climbing up the steps…and suddenly he stops - the woman who just passed by…he slowly turns back and she was also just pausing to have a second look - they look at eachother’s eyes…first recognizing the other - both had changed almost beyond recognition - time had caused irreparable ravages on their countenace - first there is disbelief , then there is a unique joy , and finally the shock after having assessed the changes that time had wrought upon the other’s face…we have already seen how different they looked in the flashback clips . life had been obviously harsh to them and perhaps harsher for vinodini .

vinodini says that while she had mentioned that she would be visiting mukambika , she was hoping that the master would perhaps make a trip too at the same time…she asks him to wait so that they could pray at the temple together . after offering prayers they have breakfast at a nearby hotel . they catch up with incidents of the past - the master notices that vinu is very finance conscious - that her attire is very simple , her slippers were worn out…it haunts him - he remembers she used to belong to a rather well off family . vinu expresses her wish to visit kudajadri - a nearby sacred place which is uphill and difficult to reach - the hotel manager informs them that jeep service was available , but for vinu , the rates were exorbitant . the master offers that he could make arrangements to go there and she could join him . vinu is hesitant at first but agrees later .

again in between we are taken into the past through the master’s and vinu’s memories - friends of the master and vinu used to tease them about their obvious affection for eachother…but they do not ever express it to eachother themselves . we get to know how the master gets transferred to another school in another place , how vinu’s father does not approve of the polite , affectionate letters from the master and finally the master stops writing to his student . vinu however sends a few lines , a new year card once in a while which the master treasures and keeps reading time and again .

the next day , the master persuades his young companion to stay back at mukambika , and leaves for kudajadri with vinu . during the trip uphill , vinu talks to the master about her difficulties , she was a teacher working in chennai , how it was very difficult for her to make ends meet - she had to send money home to her ailing mother . she also says that she would be entitled to a better pay if she could do a course equivalent to b . a but is unable to do so because of financial constraints .

the master asked her why she never got married…she said that there was some “dosham” - flaw in her horoscope and so a suitable alliance never materialized and eventually her father fell ill and died , and the years passed unnoticed in the sheer effort of living a daily life . the master talks about his wife “ammutty” , children who were living elsewhere . vinu informs him that she had always updated herself with his news . the master remains silent . they reach kutajadri by dusk , avail lodgings at a small home in the place - run by a priest and his family and provided shelter and food to pilgrims . the driver guides them along the hilly trek , and thus the two pilgrims make the pilgrimage of their life together for a brief snatch of time -

the master offers prayers in his name and vinodini’s and she is amazed that he still remembered her birth star . the priest conducts a puja and offers prayers to the deity on their behalf . the hosts have naturally assumed that the two were a couple and the two don’t deny it either . later at dinner time , the hosts relate the story of their hardships and vinu tells the master afterwards that her hardships paled in comparison .

after dinner , the two pilgrims sit by the lake nearby . . for some time they share a companionable silence and eventually the master asked vinu why she had rejected his proposal for her hand in marriage many years ago . vinu is taken by surprise and she says she never knew he had ever proposed ! then the master explains that a mutual friend had talked to her father many years ago on his behalf seeking vinu’s hand in marriage . vinu’s father had rejected the proposal outright and the master had naturally assumed that vinu knew about it . a shattered vinu reveals that she never knew about it and she utters vehemently - the only moment when the otherwise softspoken vinu explodes involuntarily in suppressed fury - “dushtan” - meaning - “the cruel one” incriminating her dead father . it was now the turn of the master to be shocked…it had never occurred to him that she had no inkling about his proposal . after this startling disclosure , followed a stunned , wistful , forlorn silence…vinu is unable to suppress her sobs and the master has no words of comfort to offer .

the host soon comes to call them inside to retire for the night . they realize that they have been offered a single room . at first , the two pilgrims are awkward , but eventually they accept the situation , and settle down to sleep on the single mat maintaining a polite distance between them .

the next morning , the two piligrims return to their respective homes , but before leaving the master asks vinu if he could help her to secure her b . a degree , that he was willing to sponsor her course fees , but vinu declines…they go their ways…it was a pilgrimage for the two of them not just in the religious sense - they had to make this pilgrimage to bring a closure to the blanks in their past…to come to terms with the “if only’s” and the “had beens”…

the master was played by the south indian actor jayaram and vinu was played by actress , director , social activist , suhasini - ( also manirathnam’s wife ) . jayaram was quite good - effectively underplaying the pathos - however his make up was jarring…suhasini was tolerable - i usually do not enjoy watching her mannerisms , the way she moves her hands , her crinkly smile , and a tendency to be carefully “natural” …however her voice over did not suit her…my opinion only…

i enjoyed the unspoken silences in the movie…m . t . has this way of making silences speak…he has written another novel _ randaamoozham _ – meaning the second turn alluding to bheema’s turn in his marital life with draupadi , in this novel , m . t . admits to have taken creative liberty to elaborate on certain blanks in the mahabharatha epic…certain incomplete insinuations - loud silences…and he has achieved that beautifully . . the entrie story unfurls from the pov of bheema…and is very interesting and intriguing . .

trying to reach a consensus between the perceived me and the real ( ? ? ? ) me . . .

won 2001 mathrubhumi - medimix film award for best malayalam film . won 2001 mathrubhumi - medimix film award for best actor - jayaram . won 2001 kerala state film award for best singer - k s chithra .

for a long time now , chennai ' s film industry was the epicentre of technical finesse . the best technicians for the celluloid medium got their breaks here , the responsibility for which was shouldered by directors like k . balachander , balu mahendra and maniratnam .

but when it came to ` ` meaningful ' ' cinema , malayalam scored heavily . malayalam movies were known for their substance , innate sense of regionality and spellbinding performances even if they were made on shoestring budgets . directors like adoor gopalakrishnan , aravindan and bharathan led from the front .

however , things are changing . ` ` if recent trends of the malayalam film industry are taken into account , there seems to be a role reversal . there is more good cinema coming out in tamil than malayalam today , ' ' balu mahendra says .

he is unhappy with some trends . as the chairman for the third mathrubhumi - medimix film awards 2001 jury , he sat through the top ten malayalam movies of last year as selected by the readers of the malayalam daily . and the end of it , mahendra was disappointed .

` ` it was absolutely easy to judge the best films , because there were hardly any quality movies . i remember the time when every year , at least ten movies used to compete for each award . i wonder where the quality movies have gone , ' ' he said . the other jury members , music director m . s . viswanathan , actress vidhubala , film critic sreevaraham balakrishnan and short story writer sreekumari ramachandran agree .

the malayalam film industry was adrift in a sea of debt , with almost all the big budget movies failing to set the cash register rolling . further , the soft - porn movies have begun to dominate the scene , the jury members said .

it would be another feather in the cap of playback singer chitra , while in the male singer category , jayachandran has bagged top honours . he was recently heard by tamil audiences in maniratnam ' s , ` ` kannathil muthamittal ' ' .

a talk show which brings two polarized sections of society on to a single .

cineulagam . com , launched in 2013 , is a leader in tamil cinema news websites industry that delivers up to minute , accurate and quality tamil cinema related news and updates . being the youngest website in the industry , cineulagam has overtaken the competitors in the field in a very short span of time , purely because we understand , care and deliver to the user’s expectations .

the 61st national film awards were announced yesterday and the suraj vanjaramoodu has obtained the best actor award , while north 24 katham has bagged the best malayalam movie award .

but the results were a big disappointment for jayaram . his film swapaanam has also been nominated for the awards . but the juries has rejected swapaanam in comparison to other movies .

suraj and rajkumar has been named as the best actors . eventhough this is a huge disappointment for jayaram , he didn ' t worried about it and congratulated the winners of the award winning suraj .

he has posted on his facebook page " congratz dear suraj for the national award . another proud moment for all malayalees . way more to go dear . "
