Baaghi 3 | New Bollywood Movie 2020 Review | Tiger Shroff | Shraddha Kapoor

Baaghi 3 New Boollywood Movie 2020

 In a scene in Baaghi 3 the

dreaded terrorist Abu Jalal Gaza asks

his men who has invaded his check post

is it America he wonders Russia the

Mossad who it's a very own tiger shop

who in this film is taking on an entire

country Syria

I suppose the stakes had to be raised

the first film was a mash-up of the

Telugu film varsham the Karate Kid and

the raid redemption Tiger

single-handedly took on an entire

building filled with killers the second

was a remake of the Telugu film shanem

in the 16 minute long climax tiger

destroyed the villain and his whole army

Baaghi 3 is an adaptation of the 2012

tamil film beta in that film the two

brothers went up against the local

gangsters but tiger needs heftier

opposition so director and Matt Khan

who's also designed the action decided

to pit him against the war-torn country

of course the film has no real interest

in Syria or its people baaghi 3 was

extensively shot in Serbia which fills

in for sylia the devastated landscape is

mostly used to make Tiger look even more

heroic is that problematic yes but then

this film also advocates encounter

killings and casually shows a father

whipping a child with a belt

this isn't cinema operating on any logic

not even its own baaghi 3 is ostensibly

part of a franchise there's nothing

tying the three films together except

Tiger Shroff playing a character named

Ronnie who's gifted with superhuman

strength and agility Emeth tries to

strengthen the link by referencing

dialogue from his earlier films so at

one point jackie Shroff blink tiger's

dad says tutorial agraja hey voskov

omeka which you might recognize as tiger

signature line from Barney - and in

another Tiger delivers his own dialogue

from heropanti saying about heropanti

jackaroo sub coati nahi marriage Athena

it's all very meta

it took five writers to figure out how

this story could move from agra to

syrian producer Sajid Nadiadwala has

been credited with story adaptation

for Hossam g-spot catapult ashab Hamra

and Madras Sharma also have writing

credits and yet the actual story in body

3 feels like a placeholder until the

next action set piece kicks in some of

which are impressive I've always

maintained that tiger in action is a

thing of beauty it's thrilling to see

him hanging from a wire tossing grenades

at the bad guys or outrunning gigantic

helicopters Emma also seems to be as

enthralled by his leading man so at one

point the action actually pauses so he

can pose on top of smashed helicopters

very much the savior of the world

bronzed and shirtless Tiger can outrun

helicopters tanks men what he can't

outrun is the mediocrity of this film

neither can the rest of the actors

including the wonderful jaideep ahlawat

and Vijay Verma in the climax they

exchanged this look of bonding and I

felt like they were silently asking each

other if the paycheck was worth it

Shraddha Kapoor who was in Boggy returns

to play the one note character of chirpy

girlfriend and then there's ritesh

deshmukh hamming gloriously as Ronnie's

timid elder brother Vikram every time

Vikram is in trouble he screams Ronnie

and Ronnie appears it's unintentional

comedy as a moment when the two brothers

reunite for the first time after Vikram

is assaulted they shed tears and gaze at

each other while the much-feared Gazza

just Waits and generously allows them to

have a family moment the Shabbat knee

also pops into dance at a Syrian

nightclub and provide momentary relief

from the Furious action as I said in my

body to review Tiger Shroff is the

Platonic ideal of the Bollywood action

hero he makes outlandish situations

exciting but even he needs a compelling

story to hang that action on otherwise

all his hard work doesn't add up too

much and we leave the theater feeling

pummeled

years of Yash Raj Films and I've written

Panga | Bollywood Movie Review | Kangana Ranaut |

 in a pivotal scene in

panga Zion Ingham ex-captain of the

Indian women's Kabaddi team who were 32

is struggling to make a comeback says

make ma who or market Kois of naina hang

with a hand every mother understands the

specific hurt in this sentiment because

every mother irrespective of age income

bracket and background makes immense

personal sacrifices to raise a child to

be a mother is to be a constantly

roiling highly combustible fusion of

ferocious love permanent guilt it's

earning anxiousness and a residue

resentment at the opportunities lost

manga co-written and directed by a

Schwinn high octave re gets that manga

is the story of a woman so obsessed with

Kabaddi that even seven years after

she's quit the sport she involuntarily

kicks in her sleep marriage and

motherhood got in the way of her dream

to play for India but Jaya is it

outwardly unhappy she has a tender

loving relationship with her husband

Prashant and her son Adi she enjoys the

pleasures of domestic city but the

thought that she could have been much

more knows quietly at her soul like a

rat working its way through a hunk of

cheese she feels keenly the small

slights

like countless women she's just taken

for granted her son doesn't see her

relentless hard work either at home or

at her railway job after all he says

you're only selling tickets Jaya sits

behind the counter at the railway

station and watch his life going by but

when he finds out what star his mother

used to be he pushes her to try again

and Jaya decides to seize the day she

decides to once again take a bunga bunga

works on the strength of its

performances and its writing Ashwin II

co-writer Nikhil marrow throw and the

fish Suvari who's also been credited

with additional screenplay create a

lived-in world with characters who have

depth and personality Jaya isn't

obviously heroic she's torn between her

family and her passion and riddled with

doubts and insecurities her frustration

and vulnerability make her journey more

relatable and more triumphant

it also helps that Kangana Ranaut please

Jaya with skill sensitivity and wants

watch her in the quieter scenes like the

scene in which aya

going away for training just before she

leaves she stops and looks at her own

home with longing her uncertainty about

her decision is heartbreaking

all the seen in the hospital when her

son is born

her expression captures that rush of

love that a mother feels so beautifully

that it made me tear up this is a

terrific actor at the top of her game

and yet Kangana doesn't monopolize Bunga

Ashwin he gives the other actors equal

affection and attention Mukesh Chhabra

as casting is bang-on Punjabi singer

actor Jessie Gill is instantly likable

as a supportive husband who fights his

own limitation he's an Indian man with

zero training on how to be the primary

caretaker so all the things that Jaya

would do has routine become big drama

including an edible breakfast Prashad

struggle is a subtle salute to

homemakers whose hard work is rarely

celebrated at one point Jay tells

Prashant that if she had to make a list

of all the things she does to keep their

home functional it would fill a book

prashanta loves his wife but he also

sits at the dining table waiting to be

served his meals Jaya also has a job but

the home is her responsibility no

questions asked

this is the norm that Prashant decides

to break Jessie plays him with a

bumbling sweetness so you see his

shortcomings but you also root for him

Neena Gupta is reliably lovely as Jaya

small again the writing is so solid that

her character makes a big impression in

few scenes in one she's telling joy to

also give her credit in press interviews

there's such love and pride in her voice

and once again

Ashwini gently reminds us of the

tireless work that mothers do it's a

full-time job for a lifetime but the

scene-stealers of punga are Richa Chadda

as joyous friend Meno and yog ever seen

as her son Ali Meno is this tough

no-nonsense Kabaddi coach who tells it

like it is Adi has the wisdom of a grown

man but his precociousness never tips

into annoying which is a tough balance

these two get some of the film's best

lines they also deliver some of the

film's most potent messaging but

actually tempers this with humour and

lightness thankfully Bunga never gets

shrimp it does however get flat

in the second half I think after so many

sports films including the dishes of

masterful dongle I'm a little fatigued

with training montages and matches

we know that the underdog will

eventually win that is the cardinal rule

of this Pottsville so directors try

different roses to notch up the tension

here actually succeeds only partially

some will argue that Bunga is too

sanitized and optimistic that the actual

struggle of a mother picking up a career

again is much harder of course it is but

for now I'll take the warmth and hope

that this film offers and I hope you

will do if you like this review please


2020
Panga works on the strength of its performances and its writing. Ashwiny, co-writer Nikhil Mehrotra and Nitesh Tiwari, who has been credited with additional screenplay create a lived-in world with characters who have depth and personality.

Rotten Tomatoes Reviews For Bad Boys For Life Are In

It's an age-old question: Bad boys, bad boys…

"What'cha gonna do?"

"Well, maybe if you sang the song like you
meant it, it would catch on."

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have returned
for a third installment of the Bad Boys franchise

and even though we haven't seen the likes
of Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett since 2003,

Bad Boys for Life has managed to earn some
favorable reviews.

In case you need a refresher, here's the story
so far: Smith and Lawrence play two wisecracking

Miami narcotics detectives who duke it out
with numerous drug dealers and smugglers.

We first met these two crazy guys in 1995's
Bad Boys, which also happened to be director

Michael Bay's very first feature film.

The movie certainly wasn't a critical darling,
but it was ultimately a box office hit thanks

largely to the stars' chemistry.

When Bad Boys II came out in 2003, it rocked
a much bigger budget which meant more car

chases, more explosions, more everything.

The film earned nearly twice as much as the
original… but the whopping budget ultimately

kept it from being considered a commercial
success.

Unfortunately, most critics thought Bad Boys
II was way worse than the first installment.

But this time around, the franchise has finally
won over some critics.

According to CinemaBlend's Sean O'Connell,
Lawrence and Smith still have the same great

chemistry.

He writes:

"These actors just click.

The odd-couple formula isn’t groundbreaking,
with Smith easily occupying the bulletproof

playboy role and Lawrence personifying the
reluctant family man with one eye on retirement.

But no matter how much time has passed, the
two actors [...] maintain a razor-sharp rapport

that helps Bad Boys For Life sizzle in between
its explosive action sequences."

Collider's Matt Goldberg clearly agrees with
that assessment and he also appreciated getting

an intimate glimpse into the lead character's
personal lives:

"Bad Boys for Life... [retains] the ridiculous
action of Bad Boys II while discarding the

go-for-broke mentality in favor of a story
about the importance of family.

[...] And honestly?

It works!"

"...but family is the only thing that matters,
so I'm not gonna let you go on a suicide mission

alone…"

Meanwhile, some critics were clearly suffering
from franchise fatigue but were nevertheless

impressed with the film.

The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy writes
that:

"[Bad Boys for Life] is decisively the best
of the trio; it actually has a heart, or what

passes for one in a gigantic, slam-bang industrial
enterprise like this.

[...] It's impressive and enjoyable to behold
how easily Smith and Lawrence slide back into

these characters and actually make them more
accessible and fun to be around than before."

Of course, that's not to say that every review
is glowing.

Evan Dossey of Midwest Film writes:

"Incoherent and interminable, but not in the
glorious way audiences have grown to love

from former franchise visionary Michael Bay,
[Bad Boys For Life] is a true mid-January

studio writeoff."

And along those same lines, ReelViews' James
Berardinelli dismissed the film as nothing

more than a cynical cash grab.

"There's nothing here to justify the film's
existence or reward the looooooong wait of

those fans who have been expecting this movie
for more than a decade.

It's more of the same: Violence-saturated
eye candy used to buff Smith's ego and inflate

his bank account.

It serves its purpose: an attempt to re-start
a dormant franchise to give Sony another bankable

series."

And the award for Most Vicious Review definitely
goes to Slant's Jake Cole, who writes:

"[Michael] Bay doesn’t direct [...] Bad
Boys for Life, leaving one to wonder what

purpose this franchise serves if not to give
expression to his nationalist, racist, and

misogynistic instincts."

As if that wasn't more than enough, Cole goes
on to say:

"Glib entertainments like Bad Boys for Life
[play] a part in normalizing the increasing

police-state tactics and mentality of our
nation’s over-armed law enforcement."

A damning assessment, to be sure… but such
is life in 2020: One man's buddy film is another

man's ringing endorsement of a burgeoning
police state.

At any rate, Bad Boys for Life is earning
much better reviews than its predecessors,

and we'll have to wait and see how that ultimately
translates at the box office.

The film opens nationwide on January 17th.

Dabangg 3 | Bollywood Movie Review | Salman Khan | Sonakshi Sinha

At one point in Dabangg 3,
Chulbul Pandey says –

hum class aur mass
dono ke liye kaam karte hain.

This statement was true
for the first instalment of the film

which introduced us to the irreverent,
rule-breaking, rogue cop Chulbul Pandey.

Chulbul was the sort of
law enforcement officer

who pauses mid-fight to appreciate
a bad guy’s caller tune.

He also famously declares –

hum tum mein itne chhed kar denge
ki confuse ho jaaoge

ki saans kahaan se lein
aur paadein kahaan se.

Chulbul, who combined wit with swag,
was an absolute delight.

But as the franchise has moved forward, the
fun has leaked out of it like air from a balloon.

Dabangg 3 is a joyless, exhausting ode to
the superstardom of Salman Khan.

It’s a masala movie
with little spice in it.

As Chulbul, Salman Khan dominates
every frame of this film.

He’s also co-produced and co-written it.

Salman had earlier written the largely unwatchable
Chandra Mukhi and Veer

so you have some idea
of how this one pans out.

Dabangg 3 is set up as an origin story -
we discover how Chulbul,

whose original name is Dhakad,
became Chulbul.

This means we get a de-aged Salman
romancing debutant Saiee Manjrekar

whose character Khushi
hasn’t turned 18 yet.

Khushi is a champion chess player
who dreams of being a doctor.

But she agrees to
marry the jobless Dhakad.

Dhakad is so progressive that he wants to
marry only when Khushi has completed her studies.

Dabangg 3 tries strenuously to get on the
bandwagon of women empowerment.

So Dhakad smilingly tells Khushi that he'll
be fine if she decides to keep her own surname.

In another scene, Dhakad, now Chulbul
married to Rajjo describes himself

as a patni vrata pati.

Chulbul is even shown putting a drawstring
in his wife’s petticoat.

But it’s all lip service,

because the female characters
are written as docile and decorative.

They're good for singing songs
and being kidnapped by the villain.

In different scenes, both end up tied
and hanging in mid-air.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen this
in a movie since the 80s.

Dabangg 3 is a film
that worships its hero.

He swaggers, throws punches
in slow motion,

gives lessons on courage and responsibility
to the general public

and, of course, pulverizes everything
that gets in his way.

Every time his fist or foot connects with
a bad guy’s body,

the background score goes ballistic
with crunching sounds.

In one bit, when he arrives, the background
music helpfully declares: Bad Ass.

There’s even a meta-reference to Salman
in the song Munna Badnaam Hua –

the film’s director Prabhu Deva enters the frame
wearing Salman’s trademark blue bracelet

and the song goes: Dil tere naam hua darling tere
liye Salman Khan hua darling tere liye.

But here’s what I don’t get –

when so much time, talent and money
is being expended to showcase the superstar,

why not also provide
him with a script?

You see flashes of the fun and cheekiness
that made Chulbul so entertaining in the first film,

but mostly, Dabangg 3 is a checklist
of fight, song, family scene strung together

in no particular order.

Sonakshi Sinha purses her lips
and wears colorful saris.

Saiee does even less.

The most effort comes from Kannada actor
Kiccha Sudeep who plays the baddie Bali Singh.

Sudeep gives Bali a nice poetic villainy.

He’s a murderous psycho
who wears beautiful scarves

even when he’s heading
for a showdown with Chulbul.

I liked that.

When you step into Dabangg 3, you know
you’re in for a Salman Khan extravaganza.

Which would be fine if there was
some attempt to tweak the formula

or push it into a new direction.

But sadly, the makers seem content to deliver
exactly another dose of the same.

But it’s been 9 years.

Even the mighty Chulbul
needs an upgrade.

Just Mercy | Hollywood Movie Review

Justt mercy is a

thoughtful meditation on the nature of

compassion and cruelty it's a startling

reminder that human beings are capable

of both extremes the film has been

adapted from the memoir of Bryan

Stevenson a harvard-trained lawyer who

moved to a small town in Alabama in 1989

to review charges against death row

inmates Bryan is black like most of the

men he defends but the system police

prosecution judiciary is white which

means there's little hope of justice or

mercy as one of the prisoners Walter

McMillian puts it young guilty from the

moment you're born director and

co-writer Destin Daniel cretin tells the

story with a somber stillness there's an

overarching compassion but also a

measured pace it took me a good 15 to 20

minutes to sink into the film but just

mercy accrues its power slowly cretin

the layer upon layer until suddenly

surprisingly you find yourself getting

teary it's devastating to witness the

blatant racism the upholders of the law

aren't even trying to pretend that the

system is fair black men are denied

justice at every step the benefits

vastly from strong performances my

Michael B Jordan who plays Bryan

Stevenson and Jamie Foxx who plays

Macmillan a logger who's been framed for

the murder of a white woman Jordan plays

down his natural charisma and renders

skillfully Bryan's frustration and

resilience early in the film when

Stevenson enters the Correctional

Facility he strip-searched his eyes

seemed haunted by the humiliation of it

there's no reason for him to be

subjected to this except to satisfy a

white cops whim meanwhile Fox stays

stoic in the face of discrimination and

death his suffering gives him a nobility

he keeps his dignity intact which makes

the situation even more heartbreaking

when McMillan finally crumbles you weep

with him

oscar-winner Bree Larson also appears as

a local advocate who works alongside

Stevenson but there really isn't enough

in her character to justify the casting

the centerpiece of just mercy is the

execution of a mentally ill prisoner

named her cretin doesn't allow us to

look away from what it's like to

life Hobbs request for a certain song

his fear and eventual acceptance of his

fate and the sound made when the

electric shocks killed him is just

horrific the sequence eloquently slams

the legal system just before he's

arrested McMillan who's cutting trees

looks up and contemplates a sky that

batch of blue becomes his solace as he

waits to be hanged for a crime he didn't

commit

cretin returns to it again through the

film making it a poignant reminder of

how much most of us take for granted

just mercy isn't stylistically dazzling

the chronicle of racism is also familiar

but cretin and his leads give the

narrative an urgency and timeliness

after all injustice fueled by bigotry

and bias is a story currently playing

out in every corner of the world

including ours for more reviews like

Jai Mummy Di | Bollywood Movie Review | Sunny Singh | Sonnalli Seygall

I know that it’s hard to feel sorry for
me. I speak from a place of privilege.

After all, I watch movies for a living.

But sometimes
the films I endure are so downright awful

that I I feel it’s legitimate for me to
whine just a little.

Today is that day.

And Jai Mummy Di is that film.

Jai Mummy Di’s only redeeming factor is
that it’s short. Genuinely, there is nothing

else I can recommend in this movie – the
acting is bizarre, the writing is sloppy,

the plot is incoherent and the background
music is so purposefully annoying that you

want to weep. Example – when Poonam Dhillon
playing a fiery Punjabi aunty enters the frame,

the background music announces: Amma, amma.
Supriya Pathak plays the other amma.

These two annoyingly screechy women are neighbors.
Then one family moves to Ghaziabad.

Then the other family follows
and they become neighbors again.

Only debutant director Navjot Gulati

who has also written the screenplay
can tell us if this worked on paper.

On screen, it’s forced and desperately unfunny.

This film has been co-produced by Luv Ranjan

and the usual Ranjan repertory players
make an appearance.

Sunny Singh and Sonnalli Seygall
who you might remember from Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety

play Puneet and Saanjh, the children
of the two warring aunties.

Puneet and Saanjh love each other
 but don’t have the courage

to tell their unhinged mothers, who they refer

to as Mogambo and Gabbar. Navjot rehashes
the usual collection of Punjabi clichés –

these good folks are either drinking or eating or
fighting or dancing. Sunny mostly looks confused,

almost as though he’s thinking that the
monster success of Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety

should have led to better material than this.
Sonnali is as forgettable as she was in that film.

Meanwhile poor Poonam and Supriya scowl
and scream. I felt bad on their behalf.

The film is also bizarrely tone deaf. In one
scene, Puneet lies about being gay to his

fiancée so that they can break up the marriage.
She kisses and strokes him and says something

to the effect of: I will convert you by
tomorrow morning. How is this funny?

The unkindest cut is the big reveal about
why the two ladies have spent a lifetime

sniping at each other.

There are hints of a romance
between them and I was hoping that Jai Mummy

Di would take that transgressive leap.

No such luck.
 The explanation is so lame that

it would have been better if
 they didn't give one.

Or even better, if they have made
an entirely different film.

Chhapaak Bollywood Movie Review Deepika Padukone Vikrant Massey

What does Chhapaak mean?

It’s the phonetic sound of a splash.

It’s what you hear when acid hits skin.

The recipient is routinely a woman and the
attacker 

is almost always a man who seeks

revenge by scarring.

The acid, he hopes, will disfigure his victim’s
face 

and consequently her life.

It’s a crime calculated to shatter a woman
physically and mentally.

Society decrees that beauty is a superpower
– 

specially for women.

With acid, the perpetrator hopes 
to show his target 

who is boss.

But Laxmi Agarwal, who was attacked 
by a stalker 

when she was only 15,

refused to follow the script.

Instead she filed a PIL 
and fought legal battles for 

years.

Eventually the Supreme Court 
passed an order

restricting and regulating 
the sale of acid in India.

Laxmi refers to herself as a survivor, 
not victim.

This remarkable story is 
the inspiration for 

Chhapaak,

in which Deepika Padukone plays Malti, 


middle-class Delhi girl

whose pleasantly ordinary life 
is wrecked by an 

acid attack.

The film opens seven years 
after she's filed the 

PIL.

As the case moves forward sluggishly, 
Malti 

struggles to find a job.

But prospective employers don’t know how
to work 

around her reconstructed face.

The owner of a beauty parlour 
rejects her with –

Beauty parlour main beauty na ho 
toh problem hoti 

hai.

Director Meghna Gulzar presents 
the anguish of 

this in a low-key way.

There is minimal drama.

This is Malti’s life.

But she doesn’t crumble.

Malti soldiers on, stoically and sometimes,
even 

with a smile.

Chhapaak’s biggest success is that 
Deepika 

becomes Malti.

Her commitment and conviction is complete.

At no point do we feel that this is 
a superstar 

celebrated for her beauty,

purposefully un-beautifying herself.

Deepika infuses Malti with a quiet heroism.

Her strength doesn’t require screaming.

The prosthetics by Clover Wootton, which alter
as 

Malti undergoes seven surgeries, feel authentic.

Right after the attack, 
the disfiguration is extreme

but Meghna doesn’t linger on the horror.

Instead, we get an aching scene in which Malti’s
mother wordlessly bathes her burnt daughter.

The visual reminded me of American photo-

journalist
W. Eugene Smith’s iconic photograph

Tomoko Uemura in her Bath in which 
a Japanese 

mother lovingly bathes her daughter

who suffers from Minamata disease, 
a type of 

mercury poisoning.

The gentleness in the frame 
underlines the 

tragedy.

Vikrant Massey is also lovely as 
Malti’s grumpy 

boss Amol.

Amol’s angry activism is tempered by 
Malti’s 

ability to find joy in the world.

In one of the film’s best scenes, she reminds
him 

that the acid was thrown on her, not him.

Their love story is tender 
and delightfully cheeky.

Madhurjeet Sarghi exudes understated strength
as 

Malti’s lawyer Archana.

But despite the strong performances, the film
doesn’t feel urgent or alive enough.

Who was Malti before the attack?

What were her dreams? 
What did she enjoy?

We have little sense of this 
until much later in the 

film.

Which makes it difficult to emotionally invest
in her 

in the way that this story requires.

Chhapaak is powered by good intentions 
and 

progressive messaging

but the film is undermined 
by a flawed screenplay.

Written by Meghna and Atika Chohan, 
the 

narrative jumps back and forth in time.

The action largely moves between Malti’s
journey 

to recovery, her job at an NGO

and her battles in court.

The hopscotching is confusing and it doesn’t
allow 

the characters to flourish.

It also slackens the pace.

Meghna’s grip on the material and consequently
the audience becomes uneven.

Compare this to another film about an acid
attack 

survivor – Uyare, released last year,

in which Parvathy Thiruvothu 
plays the lead.

Writers Bobby and Sanjay create a living,
breathing portrait of a woman

passionate about becoming a pilot.

The dream is destroyed by her attacker – 
or so he 

thinks.

But Pallavi refuses to let her circumstances
defeat 

her.

Like Malti, Pallavi is a hero 
but she is more 

layered.

We see her seething rage, her desire for 

revenge,
her bitterness.

Malti doesn’t achieve this same dynamism.

Meghna stages the attack 
with an unflinching 

gaze.

It’s devastating to watch the horror unfold
so 

casually in a crowded market place.

The bystanders gaze as a woman’s face melts.

The first time we see it,

the rousing title song written by Gulzar saab 
and 

sung by Arijit Singh, plays.

In scenes like this, the film rises to 
its full power.

But there are also stretches in which 
disconnected 

events are strung together

to make a larger point

and Chhapaak hovers dangerously close
to 

becoming a public service announcement.

The messaging becomes bigger than the movie,
which reduces the impact.

There is enough to admire in Chhapaak.

But I wish the film had taken the leaps 
that its 

protagonist did.

Negative Space | Oscar Nominated Stop-Motion Animation

My dad taught me how to pack:

lay out everything.

Put back half.

Roll things that roll.

Wrinkle-prone things

on top of cotton things.

Then pants, waist-to-hem.

Nooks and crannies for socks.

Belts around the sides like snakes.

Plastic over that.

Then, add shoes.

Wear heavy stuff.

We started when I was little.

I’d roll up socks.

Then he’d put me in the suitcase.

Some guys bond with their dads

shooting hoops

or talking about Chevrolets.

We did it over luggage.

By the time I was twelve,

if my Dad was busy, I’d pack for him.

Mom tried but didn’t have the knack.

He’d get somewhere for work,

open his suitcase

and text me

—”Perfect.”

That one word from him meant a lot.

The funeral was terrible

—my Dad laid out in that big carton

and me thinking,

Look at all that wasted space.
