Funny thing happening in TFI

Quote:

The Film Federation of India (FFI) have chosen two Tamil films along with 10 other films from various languages to go for the Oscars.

The two Tamil films are Suriya’s AR Murgadoss directed 7aum Arivu and Balaji Sakthivel’s powerful Vazhakku Enn 18/9. The two films chosen by FFI will be screened along with 10 other films from Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam .

A 16 member jury will select one of the films as India’s official entry to be nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film Category at the Academy Awards.

The two Tamil films chosen to be screened does not really stand a chance as there are top critically acclaimed Hindi films like Kahaani, Gangs of Wasseypur,Paan Singh Tomar, The Dirty Picture and last week's most talked about Barfi.

semma comedy..Vazhaku >>> than those films..GOW and PS naan pakalai

Idhoda author Yaaru? Sridhar Pillaingala?

dirty picture?? Pillai vaal thaan etho tweetettu irudar...intha aalu taran adarsh vida nalla bolly filmsku kuuvvuraar

EA in oscar race!!!oscar commuty ethavathu kessu pottara poarangga!

I dont know how much true the list is, but I think these films are noted because :
(But critically acclaimed etc., are unnecessary hype)

When you show a film for a festival or category, the most important thing is its cultural connection. Other things that are noted are the genre, centralisation, projection etc. (I will not get into these in detail)

Ezham Arivu : The episode of Bhodhidrama + the story is grounded on Tamil language, heritage & the fight of the new generation to enforce them.

Vazhaku Yen 18/9 : realistic, street life, upper-middle class life; potrayal of curroption without hicups, characterisation - screenplay (naration method - new camera angles / position that captive the audience - technically rich)

Kahani : Calcutta Festival - Heroine centric - amazing thriller not crossing the cultural barrier

Dirty Picture : Throws light on Indian Film Industry, heroine centric, neatly filmed (evnethough the plot is dirty and complicated)

Gangs of Wasseypur : potrayal of lifestyle of India during a given time period (past), language / slang

Paan Singh Tomar : Sports (comes under "genre" - a unique product) & ofcoarse acting skills

Barfi : not seen it yet - going by the trailer, it has to do with physically handicapped, moral film making and Hillside life style

Naan EE : Don't know why, still wondering.

Nagarjuna in "Life is beautiful" audio launch. Amala is making a come back after 20 years.

Nagarjuna : "Intha padathula amala ungalukku amma maathiri theriyama akka maathiri theriyuthu" :rotfl:

//Not related to TFI, but still it is funny to hear this movie has been officially selected from India to Oscars.
http://tanqeed.com/forum/barfi-scene...d-other-movies Wanted to watch this movie, but never expected this.
http://narenmusicnotes.wordpress.com...ebi-or-karela/ This is about music. I like Barfi's music (but please read below).

Nowadays we can't even guarantee if any of the film's work/music is original. Even if the film/music is good/great/exceptional, I am always doubtful in appreciating their work, fearing it may be not done by them fully. I am only talking about copying/lifting, not any inspirational work.

very simple definition:

when our favs do it, its called inspiration
when others do it, its called copy

V_Sji,

namakku edhukku barfi / kadalai mittAi ellAm :-)

NOV,
I am still puzzled by your recent interests and ignorance. Having affinity towards old film music, it tells a lot about your interest in music and I have a huge respect towards anyone liking old film music. Any way my post regarding Barfi is not for you. If we are seeing such a trend nowadays and we are not able to credit the music directors fully doubting if they did that work, it leaves a lot for us to decide. That's why I keep saying transparency is very important on when/how composers compose a song. It is up to you to decide.

Again I have a different definition for inspiration (as per Maestro). Inspiration is not taking few cues from previous music and developing and incorporating that in his music, inspiration is how you get inspired to create that music spontaneously when director tells the situation, nothing related to any music heard previously. It is totally different what we assume 'inspiration' actually is.

//naaLaikku post'iduvOm'nga. Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

barfi - barfi'nu post pannirukkradhala idhai post panren..

saw this in my friend's facebook wall
--------------
Barfi is a good movie. I enjoyed it . But I couldnt help notice so many scenes/situations exactly similar to old classics like in this . In both the scenes the heroine is mentally ill.

V_S, ignorance? I laugh at your insolence. so, so typical.
my post was made in general AFTER observing ppl's behaviour for the last 15 years and I stand by it. (your interpretation of inspiration notwithstanding)
NO ONE in TFM is an uththaman when it comes to copying. Like they say, a man becomes a thief only upon being caught. That we are living in the information era makes it all the easier to immediately trace the original.
and really, HCIRFs are the last ppl who should talk about transparency.

The fact that Barathiraja was/is so close to Ilayaraja doesn't make him a person who understands music much better than an HCIRF. Athu pOla....

NOV,
I am really sorry if my post has hurt you. I never meant to. I apologize. I was mentioning 'ignorance' just because you should be in a very much better position to evaluate good and original music having listening to music for very long, still you didn't, even after we have seen ample proof how music is composed in current times. If you are equating Maestro with all others, then I don't have anything to say. By transparency, I only meant again we know how Maestro composes as we have seen numerous videos of him composing and directors who have worked with him has expressed that clearly, nothing else. I still don't understand on why you say we should be the last one to say this.

Also my association with Maestro is right from my childhood, and I can take any criticism except when he is pulled down drastically to nothing (as I have seen few cases recently) I certainly cannot take it as I have lived with him virtually all the time. I now certainly see that hub is not the right place for me, as my posts are considered rude (as described by you) and definitely I don't feel good to continue with this remark.

So all the very best to all of you and I had a very good time with all of you and I learned a lot from you all. Thanks a lot and I apologize for anything happened here from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all!

V_S, I am not Hub. Pls do not leave as you have many friends, fans and others who think alike here.
Yes, I do not agree with some of your views; that does not mean we cannot be friends or sit on the same table.

The rest, I will PM you. :)

This thread is V_Sji's kuththakai and he had long posts (perhaps among the longest ones in the hub, "articles" actually). He has his "fan club" in the IR forum!
