I mean engaging with the ethos, the worldview of a culture. My contention is Kamal's films are seeped in a Hindu worldview in this sense. He invokes Gita in thEvar magan. Here's another thought experiment. Would a Vetrimaran or Ram do something similar with the same subject material? ?In anbE sivam, for a film with a fair degree of socialist/communist leanings, he sees it via the prism of god, traces the message to thirumUlar and so on, instead of merely dismissing the idea of God as the opium of the people and sticking to a materialist worldview. The approach is very different from how a radical-left director like Jananathan would have done it.
And it's not like this is an unrecognized dimension in his films. Many of the Tamil lit mag critics have routinely criticised him on these grounds. The individual criticisms may or may not be valid (often they are one-dimensional) but there's a certain truth to them.
The last film he wrote was dasAvathAram for crying out loud. Let's begin from the beginning; why did he even make such a film? :) It's the sheer proximity that offends people, I say!
Even Hitler loved Jews in some qualified ways.
Awkward silence. Sorry lads, I'm just a sad, twisted individual with no taste.
