never disappoints. If you are looking for meaningful cinema about serious issues without getting a headache but certainly that can exercise muscles in the face and gut, chose any one of his flicks. You will never be disappointed. The Purple Rose of Cairo is a very interesting film with an innovative treatment.
The movie, set in the Great Depression era, is about a Cecilia (Mia Farrow) who is married to an abusive Monk (Danny Aiello). She makes many failed attempts at moving out of the marriage but returns, finding no place to go. The only solace in her life is movies.
While watching The Purple Rose of Cairo for the fifth time, Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), a character in the movie breaks the fourth wall, and runs away with Cecilia. They begin to like each other and fall in love. A pandemonium breaks out as the cast in the movie are now not sure what to do with Baxter gone and movie goers are puzzled with how the movie will proceed.
Gil Shepherd (Jeff Daniels) who plays Baxter on the screen is brought into solve this peculiar situation. In the process, he also falls in love with Cecilia. An interesting scenario.
This is a very intelligent movie that keeps you entertained in every scene. I loved the scenes involving Baxter in the real world and the cast of the movie on the screen conversing with people in the real world. Must watch!

Yes Super Star Rajini unlike MGR and Kamalhasan, is not fair in color, but like Nadigar Thilagam, he was a normal looking actor, but that has become a boon for super star because like sivaji Ganesan, he was able to peform multiple roles easily, whereas MGR and Kamalhasan always needed get ups and make ups to look like the character. Simply Sivaji Ganesan, Rajinikanth, T.S. Balaiah, and S.V. Ranga Rao are the only true character actors who can act by observing the public easily. Kamalhsan is always dramatic and exagerrated type of actor like sivagi ganesan in the earlier days, and nadigar thilagam matured enough in the later stage in the company of super star, and kamal is more like MGR in acting. (MGR-Kamal and Sivaji-Rajini)
