Scorcese's move Kundun made me think a little differently.
Although I should be, I am not ashamed to think that a cinema(in this case Kundun) made me think so passionately about the atrocitties that the Chinese Govt inflicted on the belivers of a certian 'system of beliefs' (in other words a 'religion')
Let this tangent about china end, and let us focus on this thread's primary topic.
thiru, sorry for not heeding to your earlier warning
Guys, this thread should receive greater participation in Miscellaneous Section, since we are not actually talking about Anniyan the movie but the laments of Anniyan.
I believe such laws and crackdowns are quite important when things are in developmental stage. I don't think Malaysia or Singapore is less strict than China. This is the very reason why I thought Anniyan is a big mistake. India is the only place where films like these can be made and can become commercial hit too. I remember, last year, there was a huge propaganda against Farenheit 9/11 in US. Finally, though the film came out successfully, it wasn't well received by the audience as well as the critics. US claims it gives freedom to press/media, but the press/media is fully controlled by the goverment or works in favor of the goverment. What kind of freedom is this then?
ganesh, Farenheit 911 was well received by the US audience and the DVD was one of the hot sellers when it came out...
More than when it came out, it was well "received" during November of 2004!
Yes. F911 had a fantastic response in the US and I remember that it opened in some 800 screens(as opposed to the 2000+ screens that most other popular movies get) and became the first documentary to bag box-office throne on opening weekend.
I was also convinced that people who liked that documentary need not necessarily vote against the government because there is more things to consider than just having a film-maker like Michael Moore form your political affinity. I do know a large number of registered republicans who like the documentary.
Also the documentary was opinionated and was based on selective facts. Therefore it hardly serves as any guidance to form impressions.
hey, when u guys talk abt civic sense and traffic sense etc, i'll tell u some things that are followed in Mumbai:
1.in signals and roadcrossings, motorists,car drivers wait till pedestrians cross the road and in my 7 yrs mumbai life i have never heard "Veetla sollitu vanthutiya" while accidentally crossing the road,
2.There is a queue for buses in starting point anywhere/anytime and if anyone tries to break that queue will get his neck broken
3.Rickshaw/Taxi drivers are so perfect in charging the customer.....chennai's auto drivers shuld be taught a lesson in mumbai.....
4.eve teasing is almost non-existent and even if there is one, then ppl. take the wind out of the guy who does it....(Rape and other crime against women r done by middle-aged ppl. here and not youngsters)
so,Mumbai is following certain rules as told by anniyan, so we r not doing that bad......alrighty??? :D
but spitting/urination,slums/beggars are never ending problems in mumbai too....
Maddy,
It Sounds Unbelievable and Untrue :P
Unlimited Meals, it is true....i think u can ask guys like mumbai_ramki or some other DFers who live in Mumbai..... i know it is very hard for ppl. to accept that good things do happen in India......
yaen UL- traffic rules,civic sense, nalla gunadhisiyamellam south-east Asian/euroepan/north american countries 1000 varshum leasla eduthutangla enna??Indians can also follow discipline......y r u so pessimistic and so critical abt my country??? :?
