FOR THE 1 % ; POETIC JUSTICE

I dunno what compelled me to watch this movie, but perhaps it was the poster.
The name might suggest something of a controversial and absurd to an extent.
But the director's vision was way ahead.
Something so silly yet true for perhaps each and every one of us out there, where things don't proceed since we realize it's wrong at an early stage itself.

The whole movie is an art and reflection of poetic justice :
Falling in love with someone who's your cousin.
Indeed it's controversial but you have to accept that it's a poetic visionary.

It's a universal given that some people's first crush is always their cousin.
But things don't escalate further as you realize the sensitivity.
This movie takes it to a whole new level.
I loved each and every second of it.
The portrayal, the sexual tension, the side gazing, the talks.
It focuses on how things develop, slow and steady.
It's more about why you choose to love rather than who you love, how naturally it develops and how it feels when you realize it.

If you love movies to a true extent, you'll find this movie fascinating.
I'm still in awe, especially with the acting.
It felt so natural, I could literally feel each and everything.
Both the actors did a terrific job.
It's almost like this movie deserves awards, especially the actors.
Commendable acting .
I'm short of words, this needs to be applauded.
A must watch .

SPOILER AHEAD :


~ Maybe the closer you're to the answer the more of a mess you paint.
The irony is that they didn't even show them doing any act, just let the imagination to us.
Damn, it's more effective.
Until they did something, it develops to the point where you can't resist.

My fav scene from the movie is when she asks :
' How did you find me? '
He says ' Feelings '
The way he was nervous and tense while trying to find her but close his eyes, relaxed and tried to focus.
That scene is stuck in my mind.
Beautiful.

The increase in intensity on the last day was at its peak.
I could literally feel it.
That they want each other but can't
That they won't see each other for quite some time now.

And he decides to burst the bubble.
' If there are people who feel distant even after millennia,
there are people you can fall in love with within an instant. '

The ending scene is what makes you emotional, the director's aim to portray how much he loves her while not choosing to smoke and laughing realizing how much he does.

This movie invoked my feelings of how it feels to be in love
