There's some truth in this (although I have expressed reservations on the specificities in regards to Dawkins' work - it's his line of study for decades now), except I don't see how it applies to filmmakers who cater to a largely theistic society. I know 'advertising for a different product' here especially throws a political connotation in regards to TN politics. Let's leave it at that..Quote:

As far as I can infer, neither he nor the 'religious' characters that he snubs in his movies have any religious knowledge except the regular religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) of normal people.
A set of interviews with someone on the lines of Cho (just an example) would be nice. The other side has perpetually been shown weak (or weakened by his writing.)
Anyway, I dream on.
Are we forgetting Hey! Ram, which to my mind isn't about 'normal people', 'regular belief' or 'weak' in any sense of the word..
Leaving out , kamals criticism on hinduism, I dont like his intellectual dialogues in his movies.
This was not the case in his late 80's and 90's movies...infact till avvai shanmugi..
:exactly: ....it spks for itselfQuote:

Also, there is the scene with the astrologer played by VS Raghavan, again mocked by Saketh's response, which I think were quite valid, but didn't get a equally valid response from the other side (which I think exists).Quote:

Let me attempt something...
சென்னைப்பகுதியிலுள்ள தாழ்த்தப்பட்ட மக்களே பொதுவாக வைக்கும் துலுக்காணம் எனும் பெயர் கொண்ட வார்டனிடம் வைதீக பார்ப்பனன் பஞ்சாபகேசனும், ஆதிக்கசாதியைச் சேர்ந்த கிருஷ்ணசாமியும் வதை படுவதாகக் காட்டும் குயுக்தி அவதானிக்கத்தக்கது.Quote:

very true, the world will be a much better place if every community practices this, rather than pointing fingers at others :thumbsup:Quote:
