Aalavanthan

Ananthu, was he a born psychopath or a normal child turned into a sociopathic individual? Why and how did his brother turn out differently?

The one line story of Aalavanthan in my terms. Aiming carefully to throw light in to the human aspect of a psychopath and illustrating how psychopaths are made.

Ananthu made- thought that his family legacy was one of negation, the nullification of self. He suffered in his own way turning it outward to negate others as a way to eventually negate himself: Cleary explained by the doctor in the first opening scenes is the key to the movie!

His first (Old guy from the asylum) murder appeared to be without motive. First, one has to understand, Ananthu is a victim of violence/torture and worst, feels powerless to avoid it. Then he is taught by the so-called asylum on how and when to become violent and to profit from it.

"Intelligent," "Alert," "Impressive," "Confidence-inspiring," and "A great success with the ladies": These are the sorts of descriptions repeatedly used by Kamalhassan to describe the life/ dream of psychopath Ananthu. Of course "irresponsible," "self-destructive," and the like also adds credit.

Ananthus' lack of "soul quality" makes him very efficient "machine." Brilliant, able to write scholarly works, imitate the words of emotion, but over time, it becomes clear that his words do not match his actions.

He is the type of person who can claim that he is devastated by grief who then attend a party, Africa Kaatukule "to forget."

Overall I think this is a very genuine effort by the one and only AALAVANTHAN, Padmashri Dr. Kamalhassan in exploring the philosophy of a psychopaths mind set.

Though the movie has brilliant scenes, script, story, music and acting. It is way too quickly executed that it's difficult for a common man, likeable of Ghili to understand.

Plus:
Kamal, remarkable job as the rampant psychopath Ananthu.
Usage of 2 D animation

Cons:
Kamalhassan's lost and confused towards the end screenplay
