Foreign speech. >> [music] [music] >> So, lots to say here. Um, overall, uh, there's a lot I liked about the movie in terms of its messaging and, uh, the way it unweaved for at least for the first third at least, three fours. I really didn't like the end of them wrapping everything up like a thousand times in the end, you know, like this and this and this and that's why they did everything that I I just don't like those kind of endings. So I I really the last 20 25 minutes I I was like okay let's we don't need another twist we we we already made our point right >> yeah [laughter] >> right uh I do have a lot of issues with the style of the film making for sure way too overdramatic um which is not typical of the malam industry no uh so it's it's it's quite a different take it was a very popular movie I know it did very very well I'm sure it's very emotional for a lot of Indians malis that know these stories and real things that obviously happen like this. Um, but in terms of like my biggest issues um, with it and I don't really have an issue with like how they presented it. I actually liked how they presented it. They started with here's the story. I there's there's evidence against these guys, right? We're all against these rapists. We all want to kill rapists, right? Blah blah blah. And then they kind of unweaved it all there. I think the strongest part of the movie is probably in the courtroom with Perth Raj >> uh, and all that kind of stuff. Um, but then, uh, it got really convoluted after that, um, for sure. And then just kind of like the really over dramaticizing, sometimes too heavy-handedness as well, um, during it. So, it was it was it was very mixed towards the end. I didn't like the end really at all. Um, but it was overall a mix that I like the message, but I don't think it fully landed for me. What about you? >> Yeah, I agree with everything you said. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> there was there was The run time could have been cut a lot. Um, we had moments where we had songs we didn't need. It didn't do anything to propel the narrative forward. It actually bogged it down. >> We did not need to revisit moments that we've already experienced. Like when he killed the guys, there was nothing about it >> is all I saw was we're going for an emotion grab to make you feel so bad for these young guys that shouldn't have been killed, which we already know they were innocent guys that got used. >> Yeah. >> It was redundant. and then trying to make it this much >> complex story. >> Yeah. At the end for sure >> just was convoluted. It was just and there were there were >> I agree there were moments with acting and moments with story that were just trying to they were just setting aside logic and just trying to pull to pull the emotion in. >> Yeah. And I get that that for a lot of like the big mass Indians it works. I know this movie did very very well. It's It's a lot of people. It's been requested for a long time. >> Yeah. Sorry to disappoint you if you were thinking hoping we'd like it. >> Well, I I there's elements that I did really really enjoy. Like I like the story of it obviously, but as a full thing obviously it falls short for sure, but that like like I said the first third, not that I loved everything in the first third, but uh I mean three for four is what I mean first three4s, not third. Um I really enjoyed how they kind of unpacked it. Um and it was like oh okay oh okay cool even though there was obviously issues that I had with the film making and the over dramaticness of it but I still enjoyed that aspect of it and then like you said I don't know if it's the last 20 minutes last 30 minutes whatever it was that they were like >> oh it was this much bigger thing Priy is coming for vengeance I'm like you didn't need that that's not at all >> the crux of the story is going up against a system and the masses of you you know, um, selective outrage and those are all valid points to be made. Yeah. Um, and there's a lot of valid points this movie did make, um, to where like they led you in the direction of like, oh my god, this this cop was just trying to, you know, take it into his own hands. The systems, you know, women over all the time with, you know, getting raped and molested and they they don't ever get justice. He was taking justice into his own hands. So, they kind of led the audience on in that way. um leading you to believe it's one of those stories and then pulling the rug out from you. No issues with that. Um [snorts] but obviously the farther they went along and it ended about 5,000 times. >> Yeah. >> Uh in the end it really kind of it takes away from the point that I felt like it was making. >> Well, and it started to try to cover way too many story lines. I when the movie began, I was believing what was going on and I was caring about what happened to the girl. I was caring about the other girl who stood up for her. I was caring about the injustices that were happening on the college campus and the fact that there was corruption politically. And then it just became so many different things that we're being told we have to care about that I just I stopped caring. And I also didn't like the really one-dimensional portrayal of the bad guys. It was just >> for sure >> politicians are evil and they do things because they're evil. It just was too simplistic. >> Yeah. Even if those facts are true like about a lot more Nobody just does something cuz they're evil. >> You don't want, especially in a film, you don't want to make a character just seem like a shtick. >> Yeah. And actually smirk as they run her over. Come on. >> Like the evil laughing. I mean, it works in 1980s with Mumbo because it's [ __ ] Mumbo, right? >> Right. [laughter] Right. Or Ren and Stimpy trying, but if you're trying to tell me a real story, a real drama, it comes across as very shallow. >> Yeah. Especially with the villain roles. I I agree. They like the the laughing in the background and uh >> and the reason Well, why are we doing this? Because this is the game of politics. >> Okay. Um, so there was, like I said, I think you could probably take this entire movie and cut it and score it in a different way. Not that I didn't think um, Jake Joy did a good job with the score because I do. I'm saying the overdramaticness that they put on certain moments, >> correct, >> of the film, right? >> Um, like I think you could cut it and make it a lot more grounded. Uh, not that it wasn't grounded in a lot of acts, but there was a lot of elements that like like those that you could put and make it into a two-hour movie and be a lot more impactful. >> Absolutely. And as much as I enjoyed Priy Rogers's uh monologues >> and the courtroom stuff he was presenting, there was so much about it that when the other attorney was objecting or the judge was objecting, it's like I know I'm not an attorney, but this is just why in the world would anybody have why are you even objecting to this? This just doesn't make any logical sense as to why you can't present that here. That's not something that we can say just because it doesn't align with your argument. It just again, I didn't care. It didn't make sense. And there were two men. We went from what was, you know, it's one thing to have a story that you're going to bring a twist and you're going to go, "Oh my goodness, he the guy we thought was a good cop is actually a bad cop and do maybe two or three of those things." But it was like it became about the the mother is just not g, you know, she just jumped on the media bandwagon. So it's a story about the media and the problems of the media and then it turns into the problems it has with the politicians at the school connected with the politicians of the region. that it's Priy Raj who actually by the way Priy Raj was abused by the system back then and we're going to go back to his abuse system which was connected to the cop who's bad. It just was like golly gee stop. >> Even if all those things are true, it's it gets really convoluted. >> Convoluted >> and not focus. It seems not focused enough. >> Yeah. >> Um in in those aspect and then obviously like the cop he was a good guy and then we were like, "Oh no, he's a bad guy." Oh, then he's a good guy. Good guy. And I was like, you didn't need that. [laughter] >> No, you didn't need it at all. >> There's bad cops. >> Yeah. Just make it like he was follow you could even just like he was following orders. Even if he was reluctant, he still followed orders. There's cops that do that. Correct. You don't need to give him this arc of >> in the end he he really tried to bring down the system even though he was part of the system and like [laughter] >> he tried to bring down the system that he was a part of and that he was a part of a system that he tried to bring down >> but also Priy Roger was doing that as well. like >> um [laughter] so like it gets really in in an end like I don't like endings that just like oh this happened this happened this happened and this is how we and then this and then two years later that >> right >> it gets like two years later and six months before the two years later >> I think your point was made way before that and it could have made been a lot stronger I don't need a hero moments from these people >> no >> the hero are the people uh that are that are supposed to the hero is supposed to be truth. >> That's what the hero is supposed to be. >> Yeah. Even though obviously I get what you're saying. His like he was abused by the system blah blah blah. But I didn't need all that. I needed the >> the I feel like the hero in this is hopefully getting justice and the people standing up for what they believe in and and um you know uh if they see injustices. I think what was that line that's that was on the board for Gandhi was like the best politics or the right action or something like that. Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I I feel like that's the hero of the story, right? It should be the hero of the story. >> No. And how do you have somebody like the other attorney who was the the the the one who was the defense attorney? >> Yeah. >> How do you not know that your primary your only witness has no credibility to what he's saying? >> Like, how do you not know when he gets up there that Priy Rogers is going to be able to ask him two questions and there's going to be no more evidence to support that witness? that those were just some of the things that just strained credul throughout for me too. So yeah. >> And like >> I don't want to pretend like this is like all bad. There were I like I said there was a lot of stuff that I did enjoy >> uh and performances that I enjoyed. Priy Raj and and and I always forget his name. I I like him as an actor. We we see him a lot. I like him as an actor. um both of them and I thought they give good performances and I thought there were other supporting actors that give and then I thought there's other supporting actors that were probably told to do certain things that I didn't >> like so much and there were some especially early on there were some very good cinematography >> uh selections and shots that were really nice >> and like I said overall I get the message of the movie I just uh wish it was done cinematically in a much different way um because I think that would have been a much stronger >> point to make in a movie Um, and a lot of you might disagree with them. That's fine. Uh, you guys can let us know what you thought about the movie, if you liked it, if you didn't like it, what your thoughts on it are. Um, let if you saw us on YouTube, saw very cut version because Gab version of this and other Malum films.
