The story behind my music jam: "Inevitable Revenge" under Anilmation Tunes.


Inevitable Revenge by anilreddy12001.
This has been the track that I mixed and enjoyed the process the most in the past 3-4 years. 
Music Maker Jam is the app that I used to create this and it has a theme of revenge but with a focus on the pain and the way he feels after losing his girl and finally getting the revenge by killing the convict gang. It has a feel of the movie "Ghajini".
If I were to shoot a small video for this track, it would focus more on the guy's facial expressions and body language more than the violence that he is creating around him, with occasional blurred, close-up visuals of his girl enjoying a stroll along a beach.

Basically it should feel like he is getting released from prison with lots of psychological energy rather than physical masculinity.
He would look rather simple in a dirty, casual t-shirt and a cargo pant, with a machette in his hand instead of armed with a firearm. I somehow don't enjoy someone using advanced machinery in an action scene, and would rather like something more simple as a tool to inflict the damage. Basically the weapon shouldn't dominate the shot. He should dominate the act. The audience should see his intent to kill and feel for him rather than whistle for those weapons.
And if I were to add lyrics to this song, it should be worth adding or else completely avoid any vocals. If we can convey the same message with a BGM that depicts the situation perfectly, we don't need lyrics. Yes, in some cases we do need lyrics to understand certain situations, but they should be clear instead of being dominated by the background music or heavy instrumentation.

below is the link for anyone to listen:

Thunderbolts: A Return to the golden "Marvel"?

Okay, it has been a long time since I actually wrote an article. There are many reasons for that:
The busy life being one of those, but the primary reason remains getting caught in an unending loop of weekdays-weekends-weekdays-weekends.
Yes, I do have many thoughts in my mind but there was no way to express it on a platform due to lack of time or the enthusiasm. It got lost somewhere off late, but definitely still alive inside.
So today let me describe my experience of watching a marvel movie called "Thunderbolts".
It has been a long time since I watched an MCU movie with so much interest, and the recent "Captain America: Brave new World" comes close to this.

First off, the cast: We know most of them through previous movies like "Black Widow" and "Antman and the Wasp", but none of those really worked wonders at the box office. "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" was a nice Disney+ series but didnt make much of an impact.
But this movie is well made. The action felt real, the performances natural, the threat stunning and overall plot leaves you guessing and asking for more.

Plot line:
Without putting out any spoilers(it has been more than a month since its release, but I would still keep it spoiler-free), Valentina's plans to eliminate the thunderbolts fails, but not before a new character enters in a very innocent way. This new character is Sentry: A new threat for the world. After the thunderbolts escape from her, Valentina captures and controls Sentry and the mismatches try to join hands to stop Sentry. Sounds simple is it not? No. The way they finally come together and form the "new avengers" at the end is what make it truly special.

What works:
The chemistry between Yelena Belova, US Agent, Red Guardian and Winter Soldier. They all feel like the perfect misfit needed in this movie.

What could have improved:
There could have been some breathing space amid all the action and solo villain's pursuit.

What doesnt work:
Departure from the thunderbolts expected by the audience and turning them into "New Avengers" is something most cannot digest. For those not much concerned about comic book events, it might not matter much, but it does leave some kind of "void". I expected a little bit more depth for Taskmaster and Sentry's chilhood trauma. It felt superficial. 

My verdict: Definitely a must watch for Marvel fans. But did it reach Marvel's previous glory? Just missed by a whisker.
