Kamalhassan's Ideology in his films

karthik, i dnt see anything offensive wrt 2, 3. 1 and 4, dnt remember and need to revisit. Brahmins dead body thookka koodaadhunnu irukkaa? Am not sure. I have seen many carry dead bodies to sudukaadu.
WRT dasa, paatti was under the illusion that her son is alive. When that defence mechanism is broken, she visualizes poovaraghan as her son, cry out to pacify herself. The only grouse here is characterization of the person accompanying paatti as jaadhi pisaasu. thamizh naattila, after 1947, nadandha ethana jaadhi kalavarathula brahmins kaaraNamaa irundhirukkaanga? Dnt have the exact percent numbers, but, generally brahmins are the ones who had involved on intercaste marriages more than any other. Jaadhi pisaasunnu maththavangaLa paaththu avaraala dhairiyamaa solla mudiyumaa?

also, read in today's news paper that tamilnadu is 5th in india in violence against dalits - oppression, two tumbler, refusal to entry into temples, separate pond, sudukaadu etc. How many of these are by brahmins? Can somebody throw light on these?

Sathya,

Brahmins dead body thookka koodaadhunnu sattam edhuvum kidayadhu.. :)

But why that dialogue was explicitly told... That's where the potshot comes

WRT Dasa, IMO, patti has gone further mad by not able to identify her own son.. Andha Tsunami la Poovaragavan mattum thaan sethu ponaara???

dasa - we can consider it as linking of characters.

also, many of us wud have read the attrocities against dalits in many villages. in most of the cases the crime by so-called other upper castes are let off with a petty fine. How many / what percentage of these are by brahmins? Oppression is in practise for thousands of years by many castes. Why call it with a name brahminism / paarppaneeyam? Considering recent history of last 50 to 60 years, nadandha thappula ethana percent are by brahmins?

I am not digressing. Thappu yaar senjirundhaalum thappudhaan. Aanaa oru kurippitta samoogaththa kurai sollumbOdhu, kurai solvadharkkaana kaaraNaNgaL valuvaanadhaaga irukkiradhaa? this is what i want to find out.

Sathya,
History doesn't start with 1947. That a Brahmin wouldn't hurt a fly and (he/she/caste system) is absolved of all crimes is a very simplistic and convoluted "explanation".
(i was about to apologize for making the right wing comments till i read these posts)

OK, let me do it anyway - i owe this anyway. I apologize for addressing dear friends Ajay and Dr.Kalyan, Sathya as right wing Hindus etc..
However, i don't get the persistent "digression" point anyway, adhu kidakkattum....

I'm a believer now but i'm still a fan of Aandavar, for the record. I was angry with him after UPO, for the exact opposite reasons from those cited here - if anyone could get hurt watching that film, IMO, its the Muslims. Hey Ram, Dasavatharam and UPO are evidence enough for whatever the edhir katchi is looking for. Idhukku mela solradhukku onnum illai.

:notworthy: :yes: (of course, everybody has the right to disagree/diss works of a maker, but statements like "Who gave him the right to talk about religion" , "What thesis has he done", "what management programme has he done" deserve this response. Illa, Kurudhippunal-la sonna madhiri "same to you" no solliralaam :lol:

Bala is a believer now ! :)
