Devdas to a certain degree. In Devdas the end is predictable and Devdas's problem is chronic. That reduces the tragedy quotient.

I am assuming you are talking about the Sharat Chandra Chatopadhyay novel. The movie with SRK was one of the best comedies ever. Great comic timing with his acting.

Havne't read the unabridged version of Sharat Chandra's Devdas.

I was referring to the SRK movie. I thought the slow descent of SRK's Devdas through the movie till his oblivion is tragic. And well essayed.

I don't know what tickled your funny bone in that movie? :dontknow:

I found it annoying. I agree, I did not care for Devdas and was getting ready to leave the theatre once he dies. He just refuses to die.

That got me thinking.

 

There is a scene, earlier in the movie, where Shashi Kapoor's character shoots a young lad for stealing a mere loaf of bread. Shashi Kapoor asks him to halt, and then carefully proceeds to shoot the boy on his legs when he refuses to. 

However, when its his own brother on the run, he aims for the torso.

Perhaps, the director wanted to show that familial bonds are irrelevant in the face of duty/karma?

 

Isn't that what Lord Krishna tells to Arjun? Forget that these are your brothers and do your duty etc. Maybe it has some basis in that sentiment?

 

I got that angle and this is something Bollywood has drilled in people's mind all through 60s-70s etc. It just did not feel right to kill someone who placed you in that position to shoot at the first place.

 

Btw it was clever of Salim-Javed to portray temples as useless and 786 all divine through Amitabh;'s character, the most powerful one in the movie. A great copywriting lesson is right there.

Other than Toy Story 1-3 and Up - the first 5 mins this one always got me as a kid. Can only find the telugu version :(

 

Taare Zameen Pe was also great - as was the Maa song in Secret Superstar

^ @Mariyam Moti (the dog) in the above Jackie Shroff video I posted  showed emotions much better 

Okay @maniac I am hurt.

 

This was a low blow.

 

:(( :broken_heart:

 

I have a near 100% success rate in IPL match threads. I am going to open all threads in which SRH plays and root against them. :mad:

its a compliment. Moti crying can melt the hearts of anyone. That’s a huge bench Mark. Even Daniel Day Lewis (3 time oscar winner) cannot match him/her

I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't think that temples are portrayed as useless. Or anything of the sort. If anything the 'nastik' Vijay dies and the temple going mother son duo survive and are feted by the Government.

 

Also why only highlight the cleverness of Salim-Javed? Does the director, Yash Chopra, have no say/ input in how the scenes pan out?

Nobody sees the movie as a morality tale, like the teacher asking in Moral Science class (it was a subject in our convent) school, what is the moral of the story? The movie as seen by young adults will see it as ...

- it's cool to hate your dad

- it's cool to disrespect temples/god, you can go into garbhagudi (inner sanctrum) and abuse god

- it's cool to disrespect prasad offered in temples

- it's Uber cool to respect 786 and other religious symbols as they save your lives

It's is not a thing to point to Salim-Javed alone, it is a product of the times to normalize all the things listed above. It's also a commentary on how majority view has changed, so that Priyanka Gandhi is dubkofying in Ganga.
