What kinda stories / climax you prefer

[Shakthiprabha]

With increasing tendency towards perverted/sick story theme, in the pretext of thrillers or "saying something new" all we get to see is psycho thrillers with heavy dose of violence, leaving us iwth obnoxiously stomach curling themes / Plots.

Violence is no more alarming. Saw series is celebrated! Where are we going?

We do have excellent thrillers or "art films" without dark shades of depression. It calls for an 'expert story teller', and intelligent plot to give a convincing touch without much violence being forcibly gobbled down the throat.

Sometimes I think I am happy sitting and watching "samsaaram adhu minsaaram" types even for 100th time...sigh

What do u prefer? plz share.

...Ive said enough and voted too... (my choice is "3")

The kind if endings I like are:

Life goes on
It's pretty hopeless
There is no answer
We are alone in this amoral universe
Nobody has any clue because this is the first and only time each of them is living their life
In the end, it's all just a gag

Good thread SP.

My priorities:

1. Film combined with art and love, classic example like Salangai Oli, Thillaana MohanaambaL. I know it is too much nowadays to ask for such a film.
2. Mythological/historical films, absolutely love it.
3. Feel good entertainers (with good script) which creates an impact and thinking after a long time after we have watched the film. It need not have fairy tale/happy ending, classic example being Mudhal mariyaathai. Recent ones like; KSY, Nandhalaala.
4. Good humor/rom-com films like MMKR, Sathileelavathi, Panchathantram, PKS etc.
5. Good Folk based stories combined with humor like Azhagar Saamiyin Kudhirai, Thooral ninnu pocchu, Mundhaanai mudichu, Indru poi naaLai vaa with absolutely no aruvaaL kalaachaaram. Still greedy to look back to 'karagam' with Annan again.
6. Dark films like Naan KadavuL, Mahanadhi, Pithamagan, Sethu.
7. Crime and suspense thrillers like Yudham sei (definitely there was violence), but the content was too good to forget about that. If they can bring the violence element like Sigappu ROjaakkal, Athe KaNgaL, Kaithiyin Diary that would be awesome.
8. Action thrillers like Ayan.

Variety is the spice of life. One might say they like comedies, but they also enjoy a biopic like 'Bharathi' or a movie on classical arts like 'Salangai Oli'. I personally enjoy all kinds of films - drama, comedy, action, romance, suspense, thrillers, even commercial potboilers. The only genres I don't like are Horror and melodrama. The climax must be one that we do not expect - and I would double-like if it ends up being happy instead of sad or dpressing. This is why I like 'whodunit' mysteries (I saw 'adhey kangal' recently on KTV) and also light-hearted rom-coms with a slight twist (like Kalavani or Boss engira Bhaskaran). I say Boss because I never expected Arya to be chasing Santhanam in the first scene! Some great climaxes that I enjoy even today have quite a few Bhgyaraj films in the list - Darling Darling Darling, Andha 7 natkal, The Usual Suspects, Guna, Indru Poi Naalai Vaa, Kadhal Konden, Adhey Kangal, Nadu Iravil, Pudhiya Paravai, etc
