Global recognition for IR's music.......

LM,

I have Infact given a higher pedestal than what is in your mind to the award through these lines "நாம் இந்த விருதை அடிமை நிலையில் இருந்து 'அவன் அங்கிகரித்து' விட்டானே என்று பார்க்காமல், அவன் விளையாட்டில் அவனை வெற்றி கொண்டுள்ளோம் என கர்வம் கொள்ளும் நேரத்தில் தான் இந்த விருதுக்கான முழு மதிப்பு நமக்கு புரிய வரும்.'
Innum puriya varavillai to many fans including you. So be it.

RS,

In Hyderabad we generally say, 'light le miyan', which means, take it cool :) I would have said that to you regarding Jeyamohan's article had it not been for the fact that JeMo is a well known and well respected writer. Honestly, JeMo may not possess as much knowledge in music as he does in literature and in many places he himself states it. So I wouldn't have worried about JeMo's opinion on any MD. It is just an opinion. As good as yours or mine but definitely not better. The only problem is more people read him than you or me :)I fully understand and appreciate your reply to him though I don't care nor can understand these jargon like post modernism etc.

Exactly that is what my fear was and which prompted my reply to JemO. When people read his article they will think that Rahman was a pioneer in something (Postmodern music here!) which they dont understand and there would be a wrong notion created and spread.
My reply to him addressed two key issues that there was no modernism in film music here and Rahman had taken a giant leap into post modernism. People who want to understand the philosophical explanation will understand it and the others who read JemO's article will get to know there were composers who were modern and postmodern enough here, before Rahman, through my reply. :)

littlemaster, I'd still say read that post again. RS hasnt been at all disrespectful to Rahman. As I said, Rahmanukku kidaichidichungaradhukkaga, ivlo naal "Oscar oru america virudhu, adhu sarva desa angeegaaram illai"nu sollikittu irundhavanga, andha karuthai mathikananumnu sonna eppadi?

Largely agree with RS's post :thumbsup:

However, there is a difference between "Oscar is not international recognition" and "Oscar is not the ultimate international recognition" or "Oscar is not the ultimate recognition". Which implies, whether the recognition comes from South Korea, Holland, Egypt, France or U.S.A it IS indeed international recognition. Appadi paatha ottumothama korainja patcham 15 countries recognize panna dhaan international recognition-a? :huh:

An Oscar award is one given by members of the academy (American) to a 'piece' of art, which they have been exposed to, and which in their minds, is the best in that year. It does NOT mean that is necessarily the best work in the world that year, it does not mean those who have not got it are lesser beings, it does not mean it is the easiest thing in the world to do, nor does it mean it is NOT an international recognition or "just another award" (everybody who should know, knows the kind of avenues it opens and hence understand the magnitude of this achievement). [Best Foreign Language Film category vera matra categories vera, idhuvum note panna vendiya onnu, this is what is being referred to as "winning them at their own game"]. This is how i see it

No matter how hard i try i'm never able to understand exactly what 'post-modern' means. I mean, dictionary ellam paathaachu but who is a post-modern man and how does he differ from 'man'? And what is post-modern music?

தமிழன் எடுக்கிற படத்துக்கு ஏன் ஆஸ்கார் விருது கிடைக்கவில்லை என்று இப்போது சிலர் கேட்கிறார்கள். இங்குள்ள கலைஞர்கள், இயக்குனர்கள், தயாரிப்பாளர்கள், தொழில்நுட்ப கலைஞர்கள், உலக கலைஞர்களுக்கு சளைத்தவர்கள் அல்ல. வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தால் ஆஸ்கரை வெல்லும் தகுதி நம்மவர்களுக்கு இருக்கிறது.

ஆங்கிலம் தெரிந்த தமிழ் இயக்குனர்கள், ஆஸ்கார் விருதுக்கான ஆங்கிலப் படங்களை எடுக்க வேண்டும் என்றார் வைரமுத்து.
