Deep-Dive Movie Review: Dr Strangelove
17:26 No not a watershed moment for Indian cinema. Truth be told very few people in India actually watched the film and it was released on OTT. I don't remember it having a theatrica release. Also regarding realism there have been plenty of movies in the past. When it comes to graphic violence a movie called the bandit queen from the 90s come to mind. It was based on the real life story of a bandit from an exploited llower caste who goes on to become a politician later. But you will mostly find such movies in the independent cinema circuit of India or the parallel cinema movement that started in the 1960s. But off late such movies have become more mainstream with the coming of digital platforms. The independent circuit still exists but it mostly caters towards the film festivals and dont get theateical releases but you can see some of it bleed into the mainstream commercial cinema of India as well. Specially in that regard Malayalam film industry of India have been making some real gems off late.
That's incredibly interesting, thank you for commenting. We have received so many comments from people telling us to watch this movie that we assumed out was more widely known and viewed. We'll watch Bandit Queen, it will be good to learn more about the independent Indian film circuit, those films tend to interest us more than mainstream cinema. Is there a name for this cinematic movement or is it generally referred to as Independent Indian cinema?
Also knowing the importance of the Golden Temple and bathing in it’s pond for Sikhs, that last scene of him washing away blood and grime in that water, and his face hardening from the innocence of youth to a mature determination was chef’s kiss.
It’s interesting to hear the difference in the perspective of someone who isn’t ‘in the know’ to this movie. I came in knowing the story (I live in Punjab, and have even visited the site of the massacre multiple times). I thought the movie would end with the assassination, but it happened within 15 minutes of the movie. So for me the time jumps kept the story we already knew interesting. I was not expecting the massacre scene. While it has been shown in movies before, but was never done such justice to before, because I guess technology hadn’t caught up yet to make the atrocities as realistic. So, knowing what caused the assassination at the back of my mind since the start, getting that scene in such depth felt justified to me. We didn’t feeling a sudden change of tone as we already knew the motivation of Sardar Udham. But I totally understand how both the jumping around and the sudden change in tone might have been jarring for you. I guess Shoojit Sarkar might have had this bias of knowing the story before as well
Thanks for the perspective! We appreciate you being able to see the film from multiple angles, including ours. It's an interesting study in how expectations and knowledge of subject matter affect filmmaking, both as a creator and as an audience. It was a very effective scene, undoubtedly, and we were grateful to be informed of this important atrocity in Indian history.
Maybe one day the world will know the brutality of english..
33:55
24:07 its not revenge thriller, udham singh actually killed that english man in london in 1940
22:01 some footnotes can be really painful for many.. Its not only you most of british don't know about this massacre
This assassination was not a normal incident... This happened in 1940 means middle of WW 2 so the germans catch this news n spread it across the europe like wildfire, the whole Europe knew about this incidents hope u noticed when a man said about this many international news paper published this event on their first page, n first time english got afraid of Indian because at that time almost every english has either indian or African slaves in their houses , who knows anyone can kill any english... Because udham singh also worked in his house before killing him, so just imagine the fear But english suppressed this news very well ,they completely wiped out this from their history....but we remember.... India(Bharat) remembers 🇮🇳
Famous line of this movie... Like their elephants, the Indian never forget their enemy, they strike them down even after 20 years..
Glad u watched it... Hope u understand .. Y i have been telling u to watch it again n again... Sach a tragic events happened in India.. More than 2000 ppl were killed within 10 minutes... N still they became just a footnotes in Western history... Irony .. This was done by champions of democracy... One more thing...n
It was very insightful, thank you for your recommendation. Despite some problems we had with the structure, we recognize it's an important film and are glad to have learned about this significant and impactful atrocity.
Now u know.... 0.01% of british brutality in India.....
Finally u did it 🤓
One of my favourite films
Hiiii when can we expect.... Sardar udham...????
2 weeks, next full length release, already recorded the episode and is currently being edited
@esotericacinema eagerly waiting for that
First!!! Great video!
Thanks so much!!!
Loved the detail review you went in to on this movie and can relate to it. I was overall a fan and can understand the forced feeling of dance sequences. Im not sure where you are on your indian movie journey, but I am generally not a fan of indian movies as they are too dumbed down in my humble opinion and too much dancing. However, I do like ones with a message in them and so a fan of some of Amir Khan's movies - 3 Idots, Stars on Earth, Laal Sign Chaddha which is a copy of Forest Gump with an Indian twist and as a young man loved Laggan. As a kid loved Coolie with Amitabh Bachchan. Enjoy Happy to also give you my understanding of the cultural reasons behind some of the scenes with my Indian and English up bringing.
Thanks for the recommendations! We're quite new on our journey and still have many Indian films to review. Thanks for the heads up on Khan, we will make a point to incorporate one of his films soon. We try to do an Indian film every 2-3 months, both as a show of thanks to the many of you who tune into our program and also to learn more about the history and culture of the country, and cinema's place within. We've recorded an episode for Sardar Udham that will be posting in the next couple of weeks as our next one. And yes, always happy to hear more about your experiences and thoughts on film and life, please feel free to share more.
Try sardar udham amazing movie
Watched Sardar Udham. We’re recording the episode tomorrow 🙌🏻 releasing soon!
Ok.. 👍👍👍
Do you know about sardar udham movie?
Hiiii waiting for sardar udham 😒😞
Same here🤓
Hadn’t noticed the oddity of someone immediately placing their head - on “switch on” - under a shower head ! For me, “Psycho” warns us always to study the movement of a stranger’s Adam’s Apple …… !!!!
I actually like the third one as it shows a different side to Ogami Ittō. As for the whole tittie thing with the kid, I didn't see anything sexual about that its just a crazy lady, and Ogami Ittō knew what was going on with her, and he was being comforted Ogami is very insightful. As for the rest of the nudity yeah your right it's true of many Kazuo Koike comics women are treated like shit. Apparently, that was true to history. Everyone makes a big deal out of the kid being fed by a boob to that I go where you never breastfed who cares context is everything.
The sequel is balls to the wall
It's funny how second acts are generally considered the toughest to develop, and yet the second act is typically my favorite in historic franchises. See: Empire strikes back and Two towers.
The thing with the execution of the child was his father the Daymio displeased the Shougan and thus he lost his vessel and his bloodline this was when Ogami Ittō was the executioner. If you pay attention the flashback scenes have almost no sound except for a few instances. Another thing to remember is that in the flashback Ogami Ittō shows emotion he sheds a tear throughout the rest of the series he is quite stoic.
Nice observation, I'll have to revisit those scenes with this in mind.
Hiii jesson.... Hw r u... Any plans for.... Sardar udham...????
Hey there! I've been well, thanks for asking. I have good news! Since you've asked so nicely and been patient, we're making Sardar Udham our next film! The next release will be From Beyond as it's already recorded, and Sardar will follow. : )
@@esotericacinema eagerly waiting for that.....
I think that Yorgos likes to explore violence, control and exploitive sex because control is his drug. Through his films he controls everything and gets to take his controlling to extreme through his characters and watch his private joke be played out by actors who submit to his control and depictions of depravity under the premise that they are just doing their jobs. I don't for one minute think that Yorgos believes he is creating art or entertainment. I think he is getting off on control and contempt and having a big laugh at the actors who participate in it.
Son downloaded this to watch for Fridays movie night a couple of months ago and we laughed ourselves silly And soon as it came out on Blu Ray I ordered it and it came in today's post
Bro it is overrated film
The film although is historical fiction the main protagonists are also based of Indian mythological characters Ram from Ramayana and Bheem from Mahabharath. Ram is a revered God and Bheem is known for his enormous physical abilities. In the climax fight these two characters become the mythological selves. Obviously the western audience don’t have this cultural background but bodes very well with the Indian audience. 1:21:45
Action is not overtated but on superheros
Overrated
Brutal snow she wolf and her French tender fawn in love...🐺💔🦌 😪😢😭 I reccomend deleted scenes...
Even holly wood surprised on rrr action it's mile stone😅
Hot damn I loved this movie. I hope it’s held up. I haven’t seen it in yrs
$150,000?!?!?!
niece character asked to be cgied into the ending and they did

90s movie Internet was the best Internet
i think they make animals intentionally crappier looking than they could so less people will complain about sacred animals abuse
1:04:52 mariinskiy palace is in kiev pukin didn't manage to take kiev in the first three days so the palace is fine only east of ukraina is destroyed, kiev is in the middle
26:07 they all action stars and being jacked is a recent development ram's dad is chiranjeevi another giant action star and he was always pudgy when kicking arse of bandits and corrupt politicians and dancing ntr jr also hit the gym hard and is muscly here his previous action movies with rajamouli he's rotund enough rajinikanth is like a million years old and he still is doing action films
Makes sense lol
24:22 you mean will never do Singin' in the Rain?
Never say never!
