[laughter] Muslim [music] [laughter] I was at the What are these visuals? This is Gaza. >> It's Gaza. It's Myanmar. It's anywhere that this type of thing has like It [music] still happens and is still happening. That's a U postredit [snorts] scene right there. Dill just had one hell of a year, man. >> Oh, yeah. Yes. Um I was worried. I saw that there was more because I loved the the way the movie ended, but obviously that was just a diligent song and >> yeah, >> obviously a message um as opposed to like a six months later uh right >> kind of a thing. Um wow, heck of a summer for Indian cinema. >> Yeah, heck of a summer for Indian cinema. >> Um yeah, I mean it's you know what I'm giving it. bronze [laughter] with countless blue diamonds. >> Yeah. >> Um I'll say this first so I can get it out otherwise I won't be able to talk. But throughout the film [snorts] >> and that's why the the postredit scene decimated me. >> Yeah. >> Um is throughout the film all >> all I could think about was Gaza. >> Yeah. Um it was heavy in it obviously. >> Yeah. Cuz it's this it's it's it's um it's happening and it's it's even worse. Um I I I watch I see quite a few reels from you know the social media comment is like they didn't have it back then but they do now. And I see I follow some accounts and I see a lot of reels from I could only watch them for so long. And it isn't just because it's the suffering. It's because of the helplessness I feel. Yeah. >> That um what our government is doing to them and how powerless I feel we are to stop it. Um >> the people in charge uh don't care that it's happening. Yeah. >> Yeah. It's it is it is in my lifetime the the worst and there's have been a lot of bad things and there's still a lot of bad things going on in other places. I mean, there's places in Africa, there's Myanmar's refugee crisis. The the the right now the folks trying to get into Spain and being told they can't stay in Spain. There's just it's happening all the time. It happens everywhere, even here in in America where people are trying to come in to a place that has a statue right there in New York that says, "Send me all of your refugees. This is the place they can come. We're no longer that country." And um so that aside, >> Mhm. >> what a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful film at every capacity. There's so much >> from the messaging alone. You could talk for hours about the messaging. You could talk for hours about the technical aspects that are so superlative. You could talk for hours about the casting and the acting being so superlative. Mhm. >> It's as about as it's about as good as movie making can get at every level. Writing, directing, acting, production, design, cinematography, sound, editing, score. Just a absolutely immaculate motion picture. >> Yeah. And it it really hits you in the fields a lot of times. Um that one scene where she was just killing the girls so they wouldn't get >> Oh my goodness. >> murdered and obviously. >> Oh my goodness. Um, that got me really em I didn't I didn't shed tears. I don't think I have tear ducts, but the emotion in you well up obviously. >> Imagine imagine imagine >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Imagine Imagine your wife just saying, "Send me the kids >> cuz you know it happened >> like cuz they didn't want their kid and the kids just willingly went." >> Yeah. Cuz they'd rather die that way under the hand of their grandma than being raped and killed by people who hate them. >> Yeah. That was really powerful scene for sure. That actress that was killing them did >> a phenomenal job. >> It reminded me of >> uh dang. Have you seen Sophie's Choice? >> No, actually, believe it or not. But yeah, I know. >> All I'm going to say, for those of you who have seen Sophie's Choice, this that scene reminded me of a pivotal scene in Sophie's Choice. >> Yeah, I know the story. >> But that and then obviously obviously the Gaza in the end. Yeah, Gaza is the one that's just >> and not just Gaza, it's obviously but that's the that's the most um one especially in Americans minds right now. Um yeah, and the thing about that is [snorts] >> for as awful as awful and hellacious and terrible as this story really is in the end there were two million people that did die, right? >> Yeah. [snorts] >> There is still a a Pakistan. There's still a a people and there's still a land that's there. Um, >> yeah, >> Palestine's being completely obliterated. Y >> um, and we're [clears throat] letting it happen. We're not only letting it happen, >> we're funding it. >> My tax dollars are funding that. Like, we're we're paying for the obliteration of a people. >> Yes, we are. >> Uh, it's unconscionable to me. >> Yeah. >> Um Um, >> yeah, it's hard to hard to talk about. >> Yeah. Um but yeah it was really because we just if you have I know a lot of you are Hindi obviously if you haven't seen the Tugu movie Ral Bur or Singam two great movies and it's hard for me to decide which one this obviously as is his film he did that was banned >> that we watched >> what sorry >> remember the film we watched earlier this year and the controversy about the fact that it's been banned. >> Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Another one of the best films of the year. >> Phenomenal movie. >> Yeah. >> Um >> that's why I said what a year for Diligent. >> Yeah. Um >> obviously this one has the like importance factor of the story. >> Um I could probably watch the other two more just cuz this is it's hard to watch heavy hitting movies. Obviously >> this one this one has a shot. This one should be this one has a shot at submission. This one should be submitted >> for sure. Yeah. >> All those really should be submitted. Um cuz they're all such great movies. This one has a >> it has the powerfulness of it. Obviously, >> it has a powerfulness of it and it has an accessibility for international audiences, >> but it does also have more length. Obviously, we're really attached to this story, really attached to these people. We know it. So, it probably hits harder, but granted, if they don't know the story, learning it a little bit, I think it could really really teach people. I did love the way that MT Ali cuz he's the writer and director kind of weaved it because sometimes when you when you have a weaved story it can get a little convoluted. It can get a little lost. You might attach to maybe the flashback character but not the present character or vice versa, >> right? >> Um and the way he unraveled this [snorts] story um was really beautiful. I loved the flashback characters, the actors, >> they were great, >> magnificent. Both of them were fantastic. >> Her name, this is her name. >> Yeah. Um, Shvari, I'm a fan. >> Yeah, she she was phenomenal. >> I'm a fan. >> I loved the ending obviously of >> you knew it was going to end that way. Obviously, like we were waiting the whole movie for >> him Yeah. to get her permission to go. >> And I don't I don't know what they did. I'd love to ask, but uh the chemistry with Vidang and his capacity in the storytelling um this movie is so good that if there's any weak spot, it would be glaring. >> Yeah. >> Um especially with some This could have been one of those movies where he's like it was very good, but it was all about Nir. >> Yeah. >> And while it was all about Nir >> Yeah. That >> he was not just the one thing. >> Mhm. >> Everything was at his level. >> Granted, he's definitely getting nominated. My goodness, he's so >> one of his best performances we've ever seen and really astonishing after I've just seen him a couple months ago on stage. >> Vibrant, bouncy, a very vivacious young 70s something. >> Mhm. >> Playing a believable 95year-old on his deathbed for the entirety of this film. >> Yeah, he was so good. >> Unbelievable. >> Yeah. Phenomenal performance. No shock. >> Yeah. Everybody on set just must have been, "Okay, well, give him his uh film fair national award." >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Once again, if this was like a Hollywood movie, >> he would be nominated easily without like it wouldn't even be like, "Oh, well, yeah, this year's getting nominated again this year." >> Yeah. [laughter] >> It's one of those >> I you could see how much the film meant to Mtia's Ali. It's one of those films with the blueprint of his heart on there with the writing and the directing and the editing, >> everything put together. And I really do love the postredit song was a very >> beautiful >> we are the world and heal the world type of song conveying what if you weren't picking up on it >> you should have been. >> Yeah. >> You know if you weren't realizing the more things change the more they stay the same is we're having a history lesson and at the same time we're being reminded history as Sting said teaches us nothing because we're doing it to each other still. >> Yeah. So beautiful Singh Chila great movie again uh Love Ajak we didn't see that one that was the other we saw the original love akad uh we haven't seen that one Tamasha of course >> yeah that that's this one is this one for me is way up I'd have to have a >> long conversation of which I like more Tamasha or this cuz Tamasha has always been my favorite MTL Zali film >> this is this is up there man over time when I watch this with other people this might surpass it. >> You probably be able to watch the other one more though to even though it is still heavy like but it's more like romantic heavy and but it is >> um typically people's favorite are they can watch more which is why Schindler just is like nobody's favorite of course but doesn't make it not great obviously. Well, another another thing I love about this film that um we could talk again for hours. I love that this film highlights and accentuates a reality that people who are in this age and this place mentally and physically, they're bedridden, they're hallucinating, their dementia, all of those things must not be ignored. They must be listened to and you must have the care that Diligit's character has to pay attention to what they're saying because for many of them what they're processing in their end of life is profoundly not only important to them but it's something that you'll take away from it too. I love the line when he said uh what grandpa's going through is teaching me to come back home. Um, and too often people just write it off as nonsense. And it reminds me of I've said this story before about when I used to go with of this couple every Sunday for at least two years, I think. >> We'd [snorts] go to nursing homes. >> Mhm. >> Just to sing songs for them. I play the piano and we sing and most of them were completely out of it. >> Yeah. >> Just sitting there like this drooling, you know, people coming over saying, "Are you enjoying?" And they weren't interacting. And then we'd say goodbye. And I would get down and get down in front of them because I wanted to look in their face and in their eyes and I wanted to touch them. And when I touched them, I can't tell you how many and I I so many times I'd go out in the car and ball after this these Sundays and you would touch them and they would suddenly look at you and go, "Thank you for coming." Or, "I love the music." It was just this this so often they're relegated to they're in this nether world and just let them live in their twilight zone. They're not. They're here. They're present. Uh and they're processing still really really important stuff. What killed >> I don't know if it was scripted >> when that bastard fixed his beard. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Cuz he's seeing her and he wanted to look he wanted to look good for her. [laughter] >> Destroyed. destroyed me. >> Yeah. >> Oh, what a great great film. It >> is very good. Um, yes. When when movies can get you emotional like that, it's been a long time since a movie has has hit me that [clears throat] emotionally and that that strong. >> Yeah, >> I got hit I got hit with some strong feels in the Michael film. >> And [clears throat] a lot of that's just because of the personal aspect. Some folks wouldn't have that, but but the last time a movie really just ripped my heart out, threw it on the floor, it's been a while. >> The voice of Hendra job in February, of course, >> but on a different level, this this one has more for as profoundly devastating messages as it is, it has a lot of hope. >> Yeah. >> You know, which is has a lot of hope. >> It does have I mean, I think MTL maybe not, but maybe he is. Yeah, he might be just a romantic at heart. >> He's got to be >> um or he just maybe he's not, but he knows how to write that. I know he's I'd be astonished. >> A lot of these movies, even though they're heartbreaking, they have this sense of romanticism in [clears throat] >> love, society, in theater, in art. If I could put it in a picture, his artistry conveys the message that even when everything is just dead concrete that has been laid over everything of beauty and life and feels permanently destroyed, out of that little crack is going to grow a little flower. That's that is his artistry for me is that no matter how awful and oppressive [clears throat] and heavy and deathdealing things become, find the little places where life busts through the cracks. >> It's a gorgeous move. >> Same with my art. [laughter] >> Oh, my art is so hopeful. >> Thorn's art. He's just given up on people. Not wrong. >> Yeah, I need an indrawn touch. I was going to get I was looking very seriously into getting a Kolkata tattoo across here and I still very much getting that. >> Um that's what I should do. >> Yeah. >> Uh anyway, composed by Arman obviously brilliant cinematography by uh Sylvester Fesca. >> Yeah. >> Editor uh great whoever did the room. >> We love that production design by Suman Roy Mahapatra. Beautiful. Room tone is overlooked, let me tell you, because especially in the beginning, it was very quiet a lot of the like very quiet as is all of the color correction. >> Yeah. >> And if you impeccable, >> if you don't get good room tone, it sounds weird. >> It does because >> And it'll change from edit to edit. >> Yeah. >> Cuz they were done on maybe even on different days. And it feels like it. If you've ever been on set, what they do is they have well I mean they might do different be they might just have nobody on set but typically on much smaller productions they'll be like all right everybody quiet then you'll do that and then then they'll say got it 20 seconds because when you edit you'll take a scene for example that only runs for 2 minutes but it had an establishing shot it had a couple of over the shoulders and it had a traveling shot But it's all in the same room in the same time. Only supposed to be about a minute and a half of actual time while you're watching. And it took them 3 days to film. >> Mhm. >> The room's going to sound different each day. So you get room tone on the day >> and then you can impose that as the background sound. And the reason for the rest of the scene you don't get it and it sounds weird is because rooms aren't silent. >> No. So if you just put your dubbed dialogue and then some [clears throat] right, it sounds fake and it pulls people out. So you need the room tone because when we're in this room, it has a sound. It has a sound. Um, you might not be able because obviously these aren't that kind of but listen to it. Go into any room and just sit and be quiet. It has a sound. And we're not talking about the ambient noise. We're talking about just the [clears throat] tone of the room. >> Yeah, it has it. And it changes based on what just the temperature of the building can change the sound of a room. >> Yeah. >> And objects in the room having been moved can change the sound. So yeah, the sound sound design was impeccable. Uh >> multiple dummies for this kid. [laughter] >> I for a while it was like I we don't know what's going to win and now we got like three juggernaut. >> It's going to be fun. Yeah. Out of nowhere we were like what's going on with this >> and the other diligent movie. Those are brilliant obviously. Um but like singam Robert which very different movies all these. Yeah there's four heavy hitters this year right now. >> Diljit's film that was banned. I forgetting the title. I'll note the river. Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh uh Sitham uh Raadar and this one. These four will unquestionably be best picture nominees with multiple do nominees. >> Yeah. Um but now we're just halfway. >> Yeah. So that's cool. >> Uh really great movie. Uh thank you guys. I remember hearing a lot about the movie when it first came out. Yeah. But I don't think it came very close to us or if it did I missed it. >> I got to write that down though cuz I'm I'm watching that with Androni. That's for sure. >> Uh I think it's on Netflix. >> Yep. Great. >> But also I'll never remember the name of this one. >> I know. >> Main Vas I'll never remember that. >> Anyways, uh let us know what you thought about this.
