Pathman Senathirajah’s All-Time Favourite Movies
Grab your popcorn, get comfy on the couch and get ready to watch your favourite movies! And welcome your host, V Managing Director Pathman Senathirajah, who is about to give us his ultimate low-down on what movies are HOT to watch! Ladies and gentlemen, let’s enjoy Mr Pathman’s all-time favourite films.
Beauty and the Beast (1991) A film by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise
300 (2006) A film by Zack Snyder
Seven Pounds (2008) A film by Gabriele Muccino
What’s it about: A Disney classic for the young and young-at-heart, Beauty and the Beast is a story of love and acceptance.
What’s it about: Showing unity, courage and brotherhood, 300 is a classic Spartan warrior film.
What’s it about: An aerospace engineer’s journey to redeem himself after killing 7 people in a car accident, by donating his organs to help save the lives of seven complete strangers.
Why should you watch it? “Beauty and the Beast shows us how everyone has faults and misgivings but that shouldn’t define a person’s entire personality; that we shouldn’t be so quick to pass judgment based solely on what we see on the surface. The perfect representation of this is Beast and Belle’s beautiful relationship. I have seen this movie many times and each time I am struck by the one lesson it teaches us: one should always look past the appearance because physical attributes and a hidden past barely define a person. As they say, don’t judge a book by its cover!”
Why should you watch it? “300 teaches us about standing by your morals and principles and remaining loyal to a comrade. The film also talks about the importance of being a brave warrior who is willing to give everything for the sake of brotherhood and allegiance. In my opinion, this is similar to the InService Brotherhood (ISB) specifically, and the whole QNET family in general. Why? Because we look after one another and we work together as a team, especially when it comes to the pursuit of time and financial freedom.”
Why should you watch it? “Though some of the scenes in Seven Pounds defy logic, I chose to look past the flaws and instead focus on the innate goodness of the human heart that inspires him to do right by other people. Making a difference in others must be in our nature. In fact, we should not wait for tragedy to strike until we do something that creates a positive impact on other people’s lives.”
