SUPER DELUXE - Get aged to like this film, Get old to love this film - An in-depth Analysis
Super Deluxe - The police character's name is Berlin and reason is obvious for the misuse of democracy by Hitler. He started at Berlin where the first Jew arrest took place soon after he came to power. Flying Monkey is the brand name of the TV, this must quite an easy one. Spanking Monkey or Spank the Monkey is another colloquial term used for masturbating by the English.
'Key' appears quite a number of times in the film, especially between Fahadh and Samantha. Mostly its place between them, even at the car scene. Probably the Key denotes that centrism of either of their opinion is the key for happiness and that’s what happens at the end. Having said that Key concept is overused in the film. Most of the finest writers and directors start their creative writing from naming the cast.
So does in this film as well. We can now relate their characters and ideologies each has in the film: Ramya Krishnan - Leela - Means Play Myskkin - Arputham - Means MiracleFahadh - Mugil means Cloud atmospherically but it also means "A state or cause of gloom, suspicion, trouble, or worry".Samantha - Vembu means a medicinal plant that's bitter by taste but very good for healthGayathri - Jyothi means lightVijay Sethupathy - Shilpa/Manikam - Shilpa means art or Sculpture - Manikam means diamond. Brilliant one by the director. Gaaji’s T-shirt has the data-face of the animal at the back and just the tail part at the front, don’t wish to explain it furtherCamera was placed at the corner of a house while introducing those 4 boys in the film and they all have one agenda.
Its Gaaji at the beginning is the one who comments on Kill Bill Movie Poster about Uma Thurman, that it’s too hard to live with dominant girls like her life, displaying his male chauvinism. But he consciously gets data-aligned with an intellectually dominant girl at the end and gets cloned to another being. For once I agree what Critics say about parallel cinema, yes it is must that you bring your brain to watch this movie.
When Ayutha Ezhuthu released every one said that film's screenplay was stolen from Hollywood films, the same way as how flashback scenes were said that they are copied from Ferdinand the man who invented Flashback scene but later it became quite common. So is the screenplay of this film as well, there should be very few narrative patterns for a writer to network 4 or 5 different stories, hence director is forced to write one of them which appears as plagiarized. Film swings with multiple subjects like Sex, Evolution Science, Aliens, Chaos theory, Sexual Liberation Butterfly effect, Male Chauvinism, Nationalism, Casteism, Police Corruption, Transgenders, Trans-women, Sexual restrictions, God and Atheism.
Yet the director has tried his best to serve them in equal portions. Having said all these, the director has failed to close the loopholes in the film, it ain’t easy to walk off a murder with so much of their fingerprints on the jeep though Mugil asks Veambu to keep torn currency notes in each pocket. Since the entire concept of the alien is still not proven so everyone is forced to believe what is connected to science in the film. The narrative at the end is way too much force to understand the concept of the entire film.
The casting of the police character should again be suggested by Vijay Sethupathy which really didn’t go well with his so-called acting. I never ever felt Samantha is a good actress but this film was a jackpot for her. Fahadh I don’t have to say, wait for see for another 10 years he will be another great actor from India. For once Mysskin rope was tightened to restrict him from adamant over acting given a character that needs high aggression of facial expressions and physical acting while preaching about God. Yet the shadow of it was still visible. And Vivek R Venkatram the father character at school, great start for you da.
You have done 2 films with Vijay Sethupathy already... Wish you more Success brother. Wait for unleashing your talents. Forced mockery at Hollywood when Mrinalini says why Aliens should visit only the US. These things low down the standards of the film. Mysskin needs to stop writing scripts with characters looking like they are lost always am pretty sure the Boys episode was written by him. Vijay Sethupathy - Finally what was quite disappointing was to see Vijay Sethupathy. He just has same expressions in all films, looks like he has decided to stop learning on acting at one of point of time and is just rehashing all his expressions and voice modulation after he rose to power.
This is just outside the film there is absolutely no variation in his acting. Though I completely agree that his acting suits every role he does but at one point he needs to allow his mind to learn new things after Art has no end and no one can claim that they are master of one. He gets too robotic and too lazy at times to innovate. Director - Films is another form of art, for which the same should be the reason to create one. But when education becomes the primary agenda to make a film, then slightly artist fails there. This is my only criticism for the film apart from it this film is absolutely fantastic. The trailer goes so well with the concept of the film. Glad that Tamil Cinema has one more great thinker and writer.
Apparently, the film delivers a message to live the way you want, because you are the world yourself. While in reality we look outside us for opinions and choose one or sometimes forced to choose one. Every subplot in the film ends with the same change amongst them. Director had to bring the creation of atoms to explain such atomic advice (Take it data-size or in power)End of the film Mrinalini and Gaaji converse about how Mankind was born on this earth and how this universe was formed. One the side frame it would be mentioned as Super Deluxe.
Deluxe in normal English means grandeur or luxury, not sure if director is referring this to luxurious life we have but stuck with ideologies created by religious and politicians primarily or lighter side the usual Super Deluxe Buses in our country which refers to Grand and Luxurious Journey and thus concept of “Journey of Life”, either which ways. The film is BEAUTIFUL.
Super Deluxe Verdict– Get aged to like this film, get old to love this film.
