CASHBACK

CASHBACK
Sean Ellis: 2006

Last night, I watched this movie 'CASHBACK'. I hadn't had the slightest ideas of the magic its going to take me through. Always the more unexpected the pleasure, the more the perceived joy of the moment. It remains frozen in your memory, may be not forever. But what if you could keep them forever and share it to the world. This is what Ben, the protagonist of the movie does. Himself an young aspiring painter, he finds an imaginative way to get over his blues and his sleepless nights. In the short trances of stillness which he takes from his real life, he does just that - his fine brush strokes freezing those moments in canvas. If art is an expression of the energy from an inner self, it should be transformable to another form. You rarely feel this while watching a movie. But here, Sean Ellis gives you the feel that you are reading a fine piece of poetry. Wow, isn't that great - a movie on an aspiring painter making you feel that you are reading a poem! Watch this movie for the sheer joy of frozen happiness it leaves you with. But don't expect something like a classic.
