Ive wrote that line due to result of reading an article which said that NT who had to play a stage drama in a movie did the role exactly like brando without effort!

so i connected that with brandos lines

anyway..leave it

adhu onnummilla Joe, thimuru started by commenting on Pokkiri saying that how can a copied movie be called a hit.... (see first post of this thread)

naturally that line of discussion led to comparison with Kamal's movies, a vast majority of which are copies/inspirations, in the last many years.

(glass houses anyone?)

anyway, groucho got into the discussion and raised issues abt Nayakan.

thimuru then had to pull in sivaji.

matter avlOthaan.

Nov,
Konja naalave kamal moolama ennai vampukku izukkurathu unga vazhakkama pochu

Anyway,I don't have problem with movies inspired from other languages.The main reason is I watch other language movies (including english) very rarely and the knowledge about those are almost nil.

Inspired or not ,as long as the movie is different atleast for Tamil ,I always wants it.Namakku athu puthusu thane.

enna Joe, summa kedandha sanggai oodhi keduththavan naanaa?

altho it does slightly disorientate me, I can live with copies as long as they are remade well.

however, i get very uncomfortable when they are done of the same language. until now, I have a phobia in enjoying Kaadhala Kaadhala; becos of the same funeral-painting scene from Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar. The fact that Prabhu Deva acted in both movies, makes it worse.

I know one guy who keeps copying/ getting inspired .But at the same time laurels keep pouring in from all and sundry. Who else ?

What's wrong in remaking movies from other languages? If we apply the same rule in Business, Technology, politics, and other areas, then where will India stand?

Bay, Cinema is a wonderful media which exhibits thru different art forms like Dance, Music, Drama, Graphics, Poetry,.......... etc,. Unlike the other areas you've specified, movies require high creativity more than knowledge.....When somebody goes for remake, it just implies that they r out of ideas

There r few actors/directors who got inspired by certain movies and remade it in a total different way that suits our audience. This is generally very hard to do it but there r many successful movies like this

.............IMO, This is also Creativity out of Inspiration

But, scene by scene e-adichan copy panradhu

is just COPYING

..........I agree that it would be a treat to people who don't watch movies from other language. Aana, that's just Business.....the more we go for remakes, Tamil cinema will loose it's grace and reputation very soon
