You were right. >> Yeah, I was with you for the wrong reasons. You be good. more. >> Man, I hope they didn't have to do multiple takes on that. It's very tough. Good plan. [laughter] hospital. for Sir. I was the first word he said. [laughter] >> I messed up and I never apologized to you actually. >> Oh, it was blatantly obvious. Sorry. We know. >> I'm sorry for it all. Truly am about time. Hamstead job everything. [music] That's great. >> I get you. >> Yeah, that got me. >> Yes. Ah, you're hitting all the right buttons. Of course she's doing that. Wow, [snorts] [sighs] that was great. It made me so mad. >> Yeah, it's that's great. It was It was It was a That's It was excellent, but it's also exceptional in many ways. And it What year was this film? >> 2020. >> Okay. Yeah, we need we need the Hindi industry to make more films like this. They may be doing it and we're just not catching wind of it. But original content that has a wonderful message that's saying something that's important about society, it's a it's a gold with a blue diamond for me. I put the medals on, but Corbin hates me and he threw them away. >> I'm telling you, I think they're >> they're not I know. I looked. They're not under the chair. Who know? I don't know where they are. Uh but it's it's a >> in your chair. >> No, like right here. >> Yeah. No, like in here in the >> No, bro. I did not put them anywhere. >> I'm sure you did in the two months I was gone. But it's not a big deal. It's all right. >> I'm telling you, they're in here. I wouldn't touch them. >> They're they're probably back there behind everything. >> No, there's nothing back there. >> But uh Yeah. No, they're not they're not anywhere around here. I promise you. >> And I don't know where they are. I had kept them down in the seat, but when you had Valerie or you had Alexis or whoever, >> they're gone. Uh I'll be doing some cleaning up. It was it was uh I thought it was exceptional primarily because of the subject matter. >> Oh yeah. >> Uh just we need more films that talk about important issues in society that hold up a mirror to it and need to be changed and that's this is one of them. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> and uh I I love I fantastic uh movie. I've heard about it for a long time. People have wanted to watch it for a long time. I'm sorry for just getting into it now. Um, I like that. Obviously on the surface it's called I think the slap I think is what it translates to, right? >> Or slapped or the slap. Yeah. >> And obviously that's an important aspect of the movie >> because in all cultures but in India specifically it's obviously a very prevalent issue that especially that style of domestic violence. Right. >> Correct. >> Not the only place. It's prevalent here as well unfortunately. Um but it's like a very especially personal for India because of like how rooted it is in you know it's a family issue kind of kind of that kind of stuff but that's not the primarily thing I feel like about the movie. >> It's everything else. >> It's that was allowed based off of correct the patriarchal system furthered by people that were um victims of the patriarchal system. Correct. the mothers, the the the daughters, the the grandparents that further even though obviously they were victims of the patriarchy, but they still further along it because of you know that's how they were brought up. Um even though even though they're right in a way, you're still an adult and you're still perpetuating something that you know is wrong >> in the name of culture or the name of tradition or the name of whatever it is. You're still perpetuating this thing. that monologue of when she was on her knees and her mother-in-law's feet there was so brilliantly written and performed by Tapsi and uh um as well the the >> yeah everyone listening was very believable >> um and everybody's viewpoints was so like you're like oh yeah I've heard people make that like the brother and the the brother who's like even though like he didn't hit but he was justifying everything in the name of so his sister wouldn't go through a nasty divorce, >> right? >> Like you like even that aspect of like furthering like and and um um what is it? Uh being okay with what he did to her in the name of her life being easier, >> right? >> Um but I thought that it was brilliant. Yeah. I like you said the slap is a singular event that is the door opening to what the totality of the film was about which is just women's rights in general. >> Yeah. >> Uh and and why they are the way they are and it isn't just an Indian thing. This happens all over the world but it is very much part of Indian culture. And it's always amazed me uh especially you know how many men in India will you know they'll be walking down the street and stop at a shrine and take a moment to worship a deity like Lakshmi or Durga or you know you name the hundreds of feminine deities but then they'll go home and slap their wife >> and and for a culture that so venerates the divine feminine that consistently has atrocities happen to women. It's something that absolutely needs to not just be addressed. It needs to be it needs to be changed. And I loved Oh, man. I loved the little buttons at the end of, you know, the husband's the one who cares about his wife's blood sugar and him getting her the the music to sing again. and just um it's also about just relationally making sure you you stay paying attention to each other and don't just get locked into the mundane of the day. And it covers a lot of ground. It's really well written for the amount of subjects that they cover and the number of story lines cuz we've got our main story with Topsy and her husband. >> We've got her brother. We've got uh his uh house uh worker who's being abused by her husband. We have the attorney. Yeah. >> That it could have gotten really convoluted, but it stayed. I mean, it just stayed steady at the helm. >> Yeah. And like there was >> very well written. >> Very well written. I agree. And like there's like all those other subplots of like Tapsy's father and mother's relationship. >> Yeah. and how you thought in the beginning obviously you're like oh he didn't say anything that's wrong obviously he definitely should have stuck up for his daughter >> and then for him to make another realization of like I haven't been paying attention like I should even to my wife and I thought I was a good >> and I thought I was a good husband [laughter] he's a good husband he made a mistake he just he's a human being he made a mistake >> it's just opening your eyes to other people's perspectives >> right um and what they have done and the things that they've sacrificed that you haven't appreciated that they kind of sacrif or that you lost sight of that you allowed them to um you know not follow the dreams or be happy or like as happy as they could be maybe. Yeah. >> Um and you know following their passions and that kind of thing. >> Um I thought that was a beautiful little subplot. Obviously him giving her the thing at the end was is is really good. But yeah, showing all those different perspectives >> of, you know, everybody saw her get slapped >> and not a soul did a thing. >> Correct. >> And so the perpetuation of allowing that to happen. >> Yeah. Um, and the really strong, there were a lot of really strong subtle messagings like putting the money down. I'm not going to take the money. Another one that's really powerful that can just be overlooked, but it's really strong is when the daughter's laying on the lap and said, "Did dad hit you?" >> Yeah. >> And the understanding of this has been passed down for generations and it's got to change with one of us. just very strong messaging. I thought the cast was uniformally wonderful. >> Yeah, >> everyone was believable. >> And it was another great scene was when um uh the husband came and he was like, I might need you to tell the court that I didn't happen like I didn't slap her. Yeah. >> And she's like in front of her daughter. No less. >> Right. >> She's like, I'm going to need to pretend like you didn't just say that to me right now >> cuz I want to have an ounce of respect for you still. >> Right. [laughter] >> Yeah. And no, absolutely not. Um, but yeah, I thought it was really well written. Um, and uh, I'm sure it got um, touted as like a woke movie, of course, back in the when it came out. I'm sure, >> especially by the men. >> Yeah. >> Um, and all the people that are, you know, just trying to justify it. Um, but I thought it was it was really beautiful. The writing is so wonderful. really great writing >> and it's performed really I loved the the house helper >> uh her name I thought she did a phenomenal job >> that one scene where she has with him with her slapping each other and she's like kill me kill me that was tough and that was really believable >> really well done well shot too they kept us so many choices by the DP and the director together who you know you know unless you're there on the day you don't know who made the final decision on the shot but that scene having it be so close we're not just over his shoulder were right there and they just kept it that way. Just makes it that you cannot you're forced you cannot look away and it makes the intensity that much more dramatic. Really wonderful shot choices. Really the score I thought was beautiful to continue the tone and the messaging of the film. >> I agree. Um yeah and uh another uh of the elements that I didn't I was worried for in the end was when he was like I quit my job next time I'm going to be worthy of you. Didn't like it at all. Um thankfully they then were like that's symbolic. They're going in different directions. Correct. Obviously. >> Yeah. The car is going in different directions. Yeah. They then if you write your own ending they don't get back together. Yeah. Yeah. Um but I still didn't like it. Uh he was given a thousand chances. He didn't need one more. Um that's who that man is. He was given a billion chances to say otherwise. And he he showed who he was. >> I I like and you know me, the optimist. I like the the hopeful optimistic reality cuz it does happen where someone does finally realize what they did was wrong. And it doesn't mean that that everything gets to go back to being right. And I think for someone I I don't think that she I think he changed. I think the person that she fell in love with. Um, I I I think he became more and more selfish and more and more things that he had been raised in that were rooted and grounded in him came out and that I would like to hope and the writing conveyed it that he realized what he did was I would have loved to have seen him cry and actually shed some tears over what he had done. Uh, but I did like that they didn't try to I was saying please don't wrap this up in a bow and let them be together again. >> I do appreciate his repentance but they do need to go separate ways. But yeah, repentance after how many how many months? >> Yeah. What's the timeline? >> And how many how many opportunities? >> I understand, but what is the timeline on repentance? When does it expire? >> Immediately. No, no, that's graceless. I I'm I'm [laughter] >> not a very graceful person. >> I know. If somebody >> I'm not a very genuine genuine repentance uh is is important and it can happen. It doesn't always happen at all. >> Genuine repentance after you've lost everything. It's it's that's just you're going to go back to the way that you were. I feel sorry for your next wife because [laughter] you're you're a [ __ ] narcissist. >> No, I'd like to hope he learned his lesson. >> Hope all you want. It's not the reality. It's a [ __ ] [ __ ] and deserves death. >> Uh [laughter] good. >> I don't I He was gi his one chance was immediately after being like I am so sorry. The the the anger got the best of me. That was his one chance. If Corbin was a judge, no one would get decrease time for good behavior. God damn right. >> No one. >> Goddamn right. >> Well, it depends on what it's for. [snorts] [laughter] >> It depends on what it's for. >> I am not a forgiving person. >> Uh well, here's the thing. I I >> I can forgive you. Well, maybe not in the real sense of the word. Uh but I definitely will not be forgetting ever. It's always there. [laughter] Especially with this [ __ ] [snorts] when you're when you're a [ __ ] narcissist and obviously abusive. That's a completely [snorts] can't deal with it. Can't deal with it. And also like the the justification and the obviousness of never realizing that you were you are the problem. >> But he does at the end after he lost everything. >> Yeah. That that often times that's what after he was going to go to jail. Well, often times that's the extreme someone has to go to. >> You're a [ __ ] adult. But >> you're aing adult. >> But sometimes someone needs to go to the extreme to finally realize that what they've done is right. >> Why? Because he's a child. >> It's it's Paul on the road to Damascus. It wasn't until he was blind and realized what he had done was wrong, that he had a repentance. God, it sucked to be a idiot. Um, [laughter] you know, couldn't be me. [ __ ] that guy. I hate him so much. Um, great job. It was lovely to see Tapsi again, though. >> Yeah, I miss watching her. She's such a She's such a believable good and this is a great role for her. >> She plays these types of characters uh so believably and I'm you root for her. >> One of her best roles and she's had a lot of great roles. >> What's What's coming up for Topsy? And why haven't we seen much of what she's been >> uh a lot of it either didn't do well or >> I guess cuz Dunkey was the last thing. >> Um but [snorts] >> she's got quite a few credits that she's done in the last four or five years. >> Um >> I guess they just weren't received well. >> She's doing Alien. [laughter] >> Gandhar >> Gandhari is in post production according to IMDb >> which is her and that's awesome. Haven't seen Schwastika in a hot minute. >> That looks like an intense kind of a thing. Follows mother to find and rescue her kidnapped daughter. Um so it's like taken but uh with mother >> a mother's rage. Go get her. >> Go get it. >> Um but then the guy in the end he's probably going to repent and we come to real repentance that he shouldn't have uh kidnapped that child. And so he'll be >> and then he works for law enforcement and helps them catch kidnappers. Yeah. So hope he could forgive himself. Ah anyways uh let us know what you thought about the movie.
