| Introduction | From the time I can remember, movies have had an inexorable pull on me. I make no apologies for this; for it is who I am, whether I, or anyone else, likes it or not. More than any other form of capitulation, it is the soft, silvery, dream-glow of the dancing shadows on that celluloid-splashed screen that have locked itself onto my heart and refused to let my consciousness function without it. All of life's trials, tribulations and triumphs, I sometimes fantastically, other times fictitiously, attribute to the movies. Most of my flights of auto-didactic fancy - from my knowledge of politics to business to science to human nature - I attribute to films I have seen, which have spurred me to read, discover and rediscover. I love the movies. My favourite film critic Roger Ebert once wrote that 'movies are not trivia.' I couldn't agree more. prasadpereira@gmail.com |
