Computer virus…Bollywood…management…and a vague ending:-)
‘Transmission’ is about Gary Swift a trans-world management consultant, Leela Zahir, a demi-god stature bollywood heroine and Arjun Mehta, a young computer geek just arrived in US…and taking the story forward is ‘Leela0x’ a computer virus, unleashed by Arjun.
Hari, a former Wired consultant, weaves the three worlds carefully, without the technical details going overboard.
Though quite different at the story level, ‘The Aviator’, does remind you of ‘Citizen Kane’. Even Lenardo’s make up reminds you of me of Orson Welles when he sports a moustache towards the end of the film.
The film is about a maverick entrpreneur who ruled the skies and Hollywood. The result is a heady cocktail of movies, planes, glamor and madness.
The movie though a milestone in terms of Scorcesse’s story telling abiltiies set against a huge canvass, it gets a bit tedious at times.
But in the end, the movie is worth watching, for the sheer craftsmanship of Scorcesse and his enthusiastic potrayal of the lead character. And Leonardo, does not disappoint as a high voltage aviator who rules the sky but fails to conquer the demons in his mind.
