Nonlinear narrative, where events are portrayed, out of sequential form. In ways where the narrative does not reflect the direct causality pattern of the cases emphasized, such as identical distinctive plot lines, dream immersions or depicting another story inside the main plot-line.
It is usually practiced to imitate the structure and recall of human memory however it has been utilized for distinct purposes as well. This report will explain the reason why I chose Non linear

WHY?

I conceive non-linear storytelling is unusual ,however, not for the amateur viewer or novice filmmaker who attempts to endeavor. I assume that it can deliver the narrative as a dilemma, similar to Tree of Life, it hops around without any substantial connection merely a little vignette regarding the main character’s life . When he was old and when he was a young boy,It’s frequently a scatter plot of thoughts on a point of everything comes from something. While I admire the film, many people perceived that movie boring as all hell, complex and purposeless. They couldn’t put the bond together.
Most of the time it’s merely a contrivance. Pulp Fiction’s narrative isn’t influenced by the fact that the events don’t appear in sequence however the contrivance doesn’t catch away from the story line, it adds an interesting ridge for the viewer to an already great film. It also provides you prospects that you usually wouldn’t get.
With Irreversible, I don’t accept it was a contrivance. It drapes the point of the narrative. Nothing can be taken back. Everything is Resolute.
An enigma I ask of you all: is it Regularly crucial for a film to have a nonlinear narrative if the story, plot, the message isn’t allotting with time in one form or another?

WHAT INSPIRED ME ?

I got engaged to Non linear after watching a movie known as Maanagaram (city)

Director: Lokesh Kanagaraj

Tamil Nadu is adequately explained by the proverb, “Vantharai vazhavaikkum ooru.” ( Tamil Nadu nurtures those who come to live here) In Maanagaram, Lokesh has sought to seize the aspect of Chennai at its choicest. 

Chennai, which is the sixth-largest populated city in the country, is not a supported place for livelihood; it’s a passion for many. Though Chennai indicates all the boxes for holding a cosmopolitan city, which was also ranked the safest city in India last year, Chennai, like the bottom of the cities, has far more major grey areas that rarely produce headlines. In the past, we’ve had flicks that have acclaimed the city as some sort of an ideal destination. However, only a few filmmakers have portrayed the reality of Chennai at its low point, particularly North Chennai, which is known for its unreported crimes.
Showcasing the capital of Tamil Nadu in a gloomy light, that too in his debut film is as imminent to exposing one’s career as feasible. However, Lokesh Kanagaraj writing in Maanagaram is unique, considering the current set of dynamic releases. Be it the characters that appear throughout the film or compact screenplay, Lokesh’s work doesn’t resemble unskilled.

There are three main characters within the film and some supplementary characters were also part of the narrative line however the storyline revolves encompassing these three

Lokesh does not dissipate a single moment and inaugurates the narrative accurate away among the first shot which is a conversation between two main characters, overlaid on an office building. The impressively designed title credits depicted through the set properties comes a minute later. From then on, we have explicated to multiple incidents occurring to different people in different situations at the same time and how they coincidentally converge with each other. The entire film reflects this hyperlink screenplay pattern.

The story is massively reliant on coincidences and that performs things anticipated exceeding a point. But within that structure, the film maintains to toss surprises at frequent intervals. The acid-attack occurrence is a sample.
The cross-current of sentiments is preserved well within the optimum level. The decisive message about Chennai does not appear as a ‘Chest thumping’ but as a dramatic note of how the city developed and what it gives to the people coming from other places to make a living.

Selvakumar’s cinematography is pure throughout (barring lavish lighting in a critical night scene) and Philomin Raj’s Editing is seamless for a confused narration. Stunt choreography by Anbariv is practical and impactful.

BREAKING DOWN THE MOVIE

Maanagaram cracks to an aerial shot of a consequential IT firm. An HR person’s voice reveals the views of the company. 15 minutes towards the film, the audience gets introduced to characters . Unlike the greatest of the films in this genre, Maanagaram is multi-layered, packed with diverse characters who own their backstories with scarce twists and turns that grip the audience until the film’s end credits.

The narrative line consisted of less daytime action and high intense night time action.
The main sequential and twists occurred during Night, the main reason to get every important prospect within the night is that each of their profession should be done during the late-night.
for instant,
a taxi driver (Charlie) a recruit to the job has a duty to drop of an IT employee whose work is heavily proportioned accordingly to the other country which is distant from India because most of the head IT companies function in US or UK. therefore, the timing differs in two countries in India it would be night but in the US it would be day. Therefore most of the IT ins work during late nights.
Moreover, they equipped proper pieces of equipment to compromise the night set in the film. In extensive to that “Night” setting is the most common thing the director largely focused on.
after 15 minutes commencement of the film, the new IT employee gets his certificates lost and that is where the film begins with the title sequence, And he gets back his certificate during Night. Everything within the movie begins during night from losing certificates and getting a new job.

TITLE SEQUENCE

The title emerged after 15 mins of the commencement of the film. With a piece of Diegetic music (song) ‘Iravu vettai adutha’ (The night is on the hunt). The title sequence introduced the audience through the city of Chennai by revealing the city during Night they also showed various people’s life on streets during night.,Moreover, they did not comprise people from high-tech but they concentrated people who live in dark shades within Chennai and in that, they also introduced some prominent characters and the main gist is that; the title sequence is brought up during Night upon buildings.

CHARACTERS

SHRI-He is lost in the city. He cannot concede the swearing. When a stranger approaches him with a weeping story concerning losing his purse and requiring money, Shri spontaneously reaches into his pocket to help – only to undergo a lecture from a friend who recognizes a conman when he notices one. In the film’s initial scene, Shri is being interviewed for a career in a BPO. He doesn’t pretend it, though. He’s from Trichy, which isn’t specifically a small town – and yet, he agrees that work in Madras (Chennai), one in an air-conditioned room, one that retrieves him 25K a month, is something of a standing type. Shri develops up with a splendid accomplishment as he conveys, the confusion, anxiety, and depression without moving overboard anywhere.

SUNDEEP-the hot-headed but good-hearted fanatic boy persists unknown, living-breathing tropes for unremarkable characters you would transpire by in a large city. However, the act of doing-good has failed and compelled a temporary relocation for him. But we get to grasp about Sundeep through an aggregate of flashbacks and present-day conversations.

Regina Cassandra receives a little cramped screen space but still maintains to perform in a way that maintains choosing her in the role.

SUMMARY

The deeper you examine Maanagaram, the extra you smile at whatever you find. For example, the ambiguity of an announcement that Chennai is the most protected city in India – following the song over the opening respites has previously notified us, Iravu vettai aaduthey (the night will prey on you). Or the other absurdity of Enga ooru Madras-u (Madras is our city) striking in a film whose characters observe nothing of this inclusiveness. Or the cheekiness in the mirror-events. A kid concludes the file goes missing; the wrong man is knocked up the wrong kid is seized. Sundeep sets out to support someone in distress, but his colleagues prevent him; Later, these characters change. They identify the core of selflessness. They end up assisting others. “None of my business” changes into “We’re all in this together, it’s our city, it’s our business.”
