Spoilers! That scene destroyed me.


I have never actually been affected by a movie.

The first time I watched Titanic, every single person in the room cried. I only felt indifference. It was all an act after all. All the actors were playing a part, none of it was real. So why should I care?

However,

The scene where Raju is forced to write either his own name or Rancho's name on the laptop in Virus' office was different. The movie built up their friendship to the point where it seemed genuine to me. My usual disbelief towards drama in film wasn't shattered.

I'm so glad Raju didn't say a word in that scene. The quick cuts between his desperate parents and his best friend spoke for itself. That dilemma got to me.

When he finally jumped and we saw his dislocated body on the ground, I had to stop a movie for the first time in my life. That scene destroyed me. I had to take a brake to collect myself.

Spectacular writing. Very well done.
