ART OPINION: MUGIZH

 I still remember March 19,2017 so vividly in my head.A new wave  entered into my life and we named it ''Jio".Well, this movie 'Mugizh' is not just about 'Scooby'(the themed characte) but the emotional connect and the philosophy of life that follows you,once you understand the being of another creation other than just "YOU".

Thanks to Karthik Swaminathan(Director) and Ponmar(Cinematographer) for capturing the delicate yet intricate moments in life which we often overlook.Though the basic humanness is the centripetal plot,it has not been forayed upon our emotional quotient.The subtlety of the most essential philosophies like co-existence of all beings,the exit of a being from our lives and the necessary resurrection of emotions that follows, have been scattered all over the movie in a decent mellow way.

Grieving is a process and absolutely a necessary process.When I say necessary, it also need to be said as "unique".As R.W.Emerson quoted,"We boil at different degrees".The movie captures the absence(in this case-death) of a loved being as groove for this grieving of all the family members at.The expression of such grief is at varied levels by all the members of the family.The neatly shot camera angles with the domesticity of a family knits the movie close to the heart.The scenic and still shots (loved the way VJS pseudo reprimanding Scooby) brings life to the movie and makes it close to heart.

The film is not preachy but genuine in delivering the underlined philosophy of death and being humane.Commendable thought to the director for centralizing this theme around a being(Scooby) other than human.Overall,the movie has a take away of different things for different people based on their interactions with the other living beings of nature.Concluding the art opinion  with slightly modifying  Roger Caras quote,"If you don't own a dog,atleast one, there may not necessarily be anything wrong with you,but you definitely are missing the incredible part of your humaneness."Stay humane.
