K. BALACHANDER - GENIUS

It seems abit of a emotional tirade..but let me clear up...we as audience must be able to know what is right and what is wrong when we watch such movies...such movies have messages of the wrongdoings done by us and he has nothing to worry about bringing about a message being hidden behind our backs for long....it is up to us individuals to see how we interpret the movie...if we see the movie as sexual entertainment..its not the movie's fault...it is our fault for interpreting that way...most movies are misunderstood because of how people see it....if we are abit more understanding we can actually see the message instead of judging the movie by its scenes...:)

Really Hulk?? Is that so!! Cool so you look for the message in those movies!! You are the man!! 8-) But everybody wont be that this much descent like you? Okay lets stop this arguement here because i wont argue with a pure saint :wink:

:lol:...saamiyar nu mudivu penniyacha..aduttha jayachandra swamigal naan thaana?....what other movies of KB appealed to you for their message?

balaji,

I concede with ur opinion, yup...... she had better choices.

but u know balaji, the era which the movie was taken, WAS AN ORTHODOX ERA, where if a woman has lost her chastity, she would be spoken ill amongst normal ppl, in normal society.

Where do u think she can lead a torture free life?

The choices I suppose was between, being ridiculed among normal ppl, or to be with such a gang so that normal do not visit you.

I suppose thats the reason many such women continue being sex workers.

yup. I dont disagree ur point, it is valid.

Shridhar,

May I please know which movie u are talkin bout? I mean mother daughter family sentiments etc?

As i have not seen the movies...Manmatha Leelai, Arangetram..no comments on those...
However the title itself shows the for Manmatha Leelai, on what kind of story it was.
It is definetly an adult concept. I think the same could be applied to Arangetram.
Definetly Aboorva Raagangal is an adult concept. As aalavanthaan nicely pointed it is our
ignorance to be to be blamed, not the director.

When we talk abt vulgarity i can point few things.
Sridhar mentioned the scene abt scene in the song Aval oru thodarkathai..
Sp gave an very good explanation on what could have been in the director's mind. Kudos to SP.
Can anyone say that, that particular scene provokes anyone.

Coming to other 2 great directors MR and BR..
1. Remember Uyire song in Bombay, After she leaves her kurtha and then runs to see Arvindswamy.
2. When BR takes Village oriented movies, shows the women without Jacket. Which era he is in.
In Muthal mariyathai in a particular love sequence he even shows the back of Ranjini without a jacket,
which is absolutely not necessary.

This is what is vulgarity in my opinion. These scenes provokes you.

In few of KB movies you can see adult concepts. Not vulagarity.
It is us who had to chose the options.

Also in the name of commercialism, we see normally in allmost all the duet songs heroines are shown in the
least minimal dresses, which is actually called vulgarity. Several of those movies even have 'U' certificate.

I have come across certain people. Mentioning the kissing scenes comes in few Kamal movies as kulgar and not allowing
their children to see those kamal's movies. But they happily enjoy with the famile a movie like "Dhool". You can see a
girl comes out in public with 2 piece dresses, vivek making comments on that and the song sequences.
They will enjoy that.
This is the state. Ignorance on not knowing what is vulgarity..

Even if you consider those as vulgarity, then that is applicable to all the directors.

As of now i want to point out directorial touch of KB..
1. In Ek Tu je Ke liye, when the heroine' father identifies Kamal photo with rathi and burns, then asks
rathi what she will do. Now rathi mixes the ashes of the nurnt photo and drinks. There u see KB, the great.
2. Vaaname Ellai, when all these youngsters are adamant on commiting suicide, Madan suggests them to see a person.
When we are waiting on who could be person, KB shows an handicapped who succeeded in his life mainining +ve attitude
towards society. anyone in that position(commiting suicide) would have changed his mind.
KB rulez :thumbsup:

There are more. Will talk in coming days.

The only one who would have handled different concepts, different personalites with acceptable as well as different approcah
is KB only.

He is definetly the best among the all.
As other he too have drawbacks. When comparing with positives and talents, those were very negligible.

I am eagerly expecting his movie Poi. :)

No i have not seen. :o

Maran,
Why you need other directors to hype your "Genius"?...Have you seen Bala movies? Can you give one scene in his 3 movies where the Heroines or other females has shown atleast their navel!!? Remember Bala is in current generation!

You are talking about censor and other stuffs..can you watch those movies with your teen-age son or daughter! If you say yes then you are exceptional if not kindly think thrice!!

IMO Balachander apart from his adult oriented stuffs he is a good director!! His movie "Kalki" is the worst crap which i have ever seen! :evil: If any people argue that this movie is really good tell me the reasons i am ready to argue!!

Common man. You are trying to compare one who took 100 movies with the one who just took 3 movies. However what u will say for the first song where Jyothilakhmy dances in Sethu.

I can list atleast 20 movies of KB without those scenes u mentioned.

That censor stuff already mentioned. I may not take my teenage son or daughter to those movies as they are for adults.

I too is not under estimating any other directors. Just pointing out the mistakes. Every one including KB had drawbacks.
I too have great respects for MR, BR or anyone in the history who gave quality movies including Bala.
