No lack of logic, no shrieking Praveen can change that. I will admit though that the singing children (play backed by young women :S)do always make me fast forward any song, and this movie was no exception!

The initial silence, the refusal to represent painful memories onscreen is contained by filmic narratives that displace, deflect, and defer examining the wounds, a form of mourning. Sarkar states his preference for this mode, adopted in the 1950s and 60s by Indian cinema, <b>over the later phase of incessant and direct representation of violence, rape, and abduction </b>that had been erased from earlier public discourse." (bold mine). <br /><br />Perhaps that would be an interesting academic jumping off point/ thinking point?Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107616228716988730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-79925272986167996642011-03-12T12:03:51.513-06:002011-03-12T12:03:51.513-06:00I've seen way more Dharmendra films than perfo...I've seen way more Dharmendra films than performance by any of the other Deols, but apart from Esha I don't dislike any of them (and like Dharmendra and Abhay very much). I haven't seen enough of Sunny to have an opinion and Bobby doesn't stand out to me one way or the other (and I thought he was great in <i>Jhoom Barabar Jhoom</i>). <br /><br />I'm with you, I love multi-starrers here and there, even if that means that lots of characters are underdeveloped and plot threads are sacrificed for screen time. Vinod and Dharmendra make a fantastic pair. I highly recommend <i>Mera Gaon Mera Desh</i> (my writeup <a href="http://bethlovesbollywood.blogspot.com/2010/05/daku-drama-mera-gaon-mera-desh.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>) if you haven't seen it - they're on opposite sides of the law but are very well-matched.<br /><br />I need to dig around the academic literature (as well as blogs and other cinema sites) and see what I can find about why some films use rape so much and in such disturbing ways. Surely it's been written about.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-15839175128563809372011-03-12T11:30:29.806-06:002011-03-12T11:30:29.806-06:00Thanks Beth, I enjoyed your flirtation with the De...Thanks Beth, I enjoyed your flirtation with the Deol men. I am not a Sunny Deol fan so I will skip that but I think I shall have to watch the Burning Train. I love films which are, as they were then called, multi-starrers. And with Dharam & Vinod, surely I'll be too distracted to worry about logic or sense or anything like that..<br />BTW I too used to wonder at the rape scenes in films, thinking that there were really sick minds out there in the scripting room..Sujahttp://sujamusic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
