The Cloud Spoke To Me.

When it rains, I smile.
When it doesn't, I cry.
When you're there, I'm alive.
Listen to my heart, listen to my mind
Listen to the music it plays, for, I listen to it all the time.
That look in your eye that shows contentment,
That touch of yours on my heart which is cold enough,
Sky is there, and so are you, for me when I weep!
Your enlightened vision gives me chills, for, there are no such eyes as yours.
I walk through the mist and I think of the possibilities of making a better choice,
to reach you, to touch you, to be with you by your side, for, I'm yours!

And then one day, I laughed.
I laughed at you.
you're the one to weep.
I wept many a times, but it was worth it 'cause I opened my eyes.
I'm enlightened by that very vision of yours
This second, I'm smiling.
I realized that I can be it.
I can be anything as long as I don't weep.
I don't weep anymore, for,
I'm enlightened!

The Road.

I’m bored.

I walk every time I get bored.

I’d walk with a hatful of thoughts in my mind. I get a solution when I think. When I don’t, I don’t.

Well, I am something ain’t I? I am not just another random person you’d see everyday on the bus or at malls. A thousand dreams run down my brain and another thousand thoughts find their way into my brain.

I click sometimes. I click to forget. To forget about the negative ideas in my mind. To remember those days of happiness. To remind myself what I’m capable of.

I’m alone. I follow no one to reach my destiny. I follow the road. I just walk and reach where ever this road takes me. I believe in roads, not in people. And I believe in cigarettes too, yeah, and vodka.

This is my stop. I ended up here today. Tomorrow, someplace else. I travel. Not that it is my passion, but I end up traveling everyday when I walk down this road.

I have someone for me. A girl. Not that she is my girlfriend, but I kind of shared almost everything with her, I din’t know why, I just did.

Then one day suddenly she left me. She left me as if I din’t matter enough to say goodbye. God, I hated her for that. Then I realised, this isn’t permanent.

In life nothing is permanent.

Money – not permanent.

People around you who act as if they care for you – not permanent.

The smell of money – not permanent.

My passion for this camera – not permanent.

I was rich one day and I’m poor some days – also not permanent.

But I choose to be rich every time – I’m sure it’s not what’s gonna happen, but from my side I’m pretty sure that that is what I want to be.

My dreams to achieve the sky – not permanent.

My tattoo - this is a permanent one which says everything in life is not.

I’m walking again, to reach the limits of sky and my dreams, except that there are no limits.

Maybe I’m good.

Maybe I’m evil.

Maybe I’m just another random person you see everyday, or may be I’m famous.

Maybe I don’t exist.

Is this the road to perdition?
Nah, this is my way to heaven.

Nolanalysis - A simple Observation.

The young man : I din’t kill her. I din’t kill anyone. He killed them all. (Following)

Leonard Shelby : John G raped and murdered my wife. Find him and kill him.(Memento)

Will Dormer : I din’t kill my partner by knowledge. There was fog, I couldn’t see.(Insomnia)

Bruce wayne/Batman : someone killed my parents.(The Dark Knight Trilogy)

Alfred Borden : I don’t know which knot I tied. I din’t kill her.(The Prestige)

Dom Cobb : My wife committed suicide. I din’t kill her.(Inception)

The Good and the Bad.

When we speak of Christopher Nolan, we observe his characters symbolizing something in a human being's nature especially of the protagonists as the symbol of good ultimately or at least belonging to that ballpark.

A retrospection - Nolan made 'Following' in the year 1998, his first directional feature, a neo-noir thriller about a guy who takes interest in random people and follows them hoping to find intriguing stuff about their lives. When we look at the protagonist, he's just a random guy we see everyday on roads who apparently represents good for at least some part of the film and ultimately he falls into the category of the good at the end even after he goes out of the line in between. In Following, we have another character who is as important and as genius as the hero but we give him 'the bad guy' credit, 'cause we know of the job he does. See now, this is the point in all of Nolan's films - Nolan creates a character which dignifies 'the good' nature and then creates another character in contrast to 'the good' who obviously is tagged as 'the bad' or at least not good.

In Memento, even though we know that Leonard is going to kill someone, we pity him because we know his condition and his past. we identify him as the guy who is out for justice and not vengeance of any kind. Opposite to him we see Teddy, the corrupt police officer, who at the very first sight comes off as a negative shade. Even when Leonard conducts mistakes or crimes of any kind sometimes, we don't see the negativity in his deeds 'cause that negative impact is buried deep inside covered by his general character.

In The Prestige, we observe that Alfred Borden is out on a mission to win and we see Robert Angier on a mission to defeat his opponent - here lies the whole point of winning and losing, the core philosophy in this interpretation of two magicians is revealed in the climax - Borden wins because he never thought of defeating his opponent, he only thought of winning whereas Angier always strives to shoot down Borden with his ill activities. Though, Borden jeopardises Angier's efforts sometimes, the audiences are given a feel that it is being done for justice or rather the reflection of justice in his acts.

In Insomnia, the brilliant performance by Al Pacino steals the show. Same as other films, Pacino is the idol for truth and good and guilt too whereas Robin Williams being the opponent. At the end of the game, the good half of the character wins and the other half dies trying.

In the Batman trilogy by Nolan, the Batman is always the symbol of hope and trust whereas characters like Joker, Ra's Al Ghul, Bane etc represent the Chaos and as the people who want to see the world burn. The interesting theme in the Dark Knight trilogy is that even few unethical aspects like lying, hiding the truth, exploiting people or technology doesn't sound so bad because ultimately everything is done to save something valuable. For example, when Harvey Dent is dead, Gordon thinks of letting people know of what Harvey did, but Batman doesn't want the people of Gotham to lose hope in Harvey, so he takes the entire blame onto himself - hiding the truth/lying to save the reputation and maintain justice. The Joker represents the evil that is present in everybody's mind and apparently Joker knows this fact well, so, he does something out of the box to prove his point. But ultimately the good wins showing that truth and hope prevail. There are many other points in this film where 'lying' becomes the important part of the film and the characters in identifying themselves among others - one other such situation is Harvey Dent turning himself in to the police as Batman to save the true identity of Batman and obviously to get to the Joker. And yet one other such situation that includes is when Wayne saves Coleman Reese from being killed using his lamborghini which makes the police appreciate his effort but then Wayne acts simply strange that he din't know who he just saved making a serious situation humorous yet taking the film forward. They say that 'lying only makes it worse', well, not in a Nolan movie.
Alongside Batman, people who represent the good are Gordon. Though Harvey Dent is also on the same side, he decides to switch sides once he faces his two-face structure literally.

Inception which deals with the dreams also contains the good guy, bad guy routine where Dom Cobb takes the side of guilt and pain gaining pity and Mal being the evil structure that jeopardizes his job and life. The pity towards the character of Cobb is added when we meet Arthur and Ariadne who show their perception on Cobb when they get to know his past.

The depth of the ideas that Nolan incorporates into his films will make him stand out of the crowd. All the recurring themes are part of the ideology of Nolan where the characters are either good or in the feel of guilt or experiencing a mental disturbance.

When we discuss about the philosophy that Nolan drops in his films, the philosophy of the negative characters are as intriguing and intense as the heroic characters. Joker believes that people show who they really are in their last moments, meaning, that they are not living their life the way people have been thinking all along. There is no change in people's characters but only there is a mask on their original character which they get rid of before they die according to joker. In depth, this philosophy and idea by Joker sounds right when we look at the society we live in. But then we'll want to accept the statement of Batman and his optimism when he proves that Joker is wrong.

The hero will be only as great as the villain. This statement by Nolan makes him build negative characters as great as heroes. That is why we've got great villains like Joker, Walter Finch, Bane, Ra's al Ghul and Cobb.

Martin - The Master.

Wiseguy.

From the violent realism of MEAN STREETS, TAXI DRIVER, and RAGING BULL to the romance of ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANY MORE, the black comedy of AFTER HOURS, and the burning controversy of THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, Martin Scorsese’s uniquely versatile vision has made him one of the cinema’s most acclaimed directors. Martin Scorsese, the person who rebooted the gangster genre with his movies like MEAN STREETS, TAXI DRIVER, GOODFELLAS, THE DEPARTED, CASINO.

                            If there is any 'BEST BLOODSHED AWARD', Martin Scorsese deserves it. This need not to be a fact, but one will accept this after seeing his movies. Over realistic blood and hardcore blood have become a part of his movies.

                            He is the one who stood as a ladder for the peak success of actors like Robert De Niro, Leonardo Di Caprio.

                            The collaboration of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro started in 1973 with "MEAN STREETS" and from then De Niro is known to the world as an ultimate actor who does not allow anybody to lose concentration from him when he is on screen.

                             Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver remains a landmark work of cinema. An iconic depiction of loneliness, violence and urban alienation, Scorsese’s film stands out within that period of American cinema during the late 1960s and 1970s often referred to as its last Golden Age. Beyond Taxi Driver’s cultural significance, the film is also important in the context of Scorsese’s career through the creative relationships that it helped forge, and which would shape the director’s work in the years that followed.

                            The phrase " YOU TALKIN' TO ME ? "  in TAXI DRIVER is often considered as one of the best and most influential scenes in the history of cinema.

                             Goodfellas, is different from Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, in that it portrays violence in a slightly different way. Scorsese has said that Goodfellas is about the "attraction to that world. That is what I grew up with and I understood. As you become older you begin to understand this is negative, this is not right, but there is still an attraction. "

                             His stories of machismo, guilt and violence in American society are unforgettable, one of the greatest film of all time "MEAN STREETS". A tale about urban sin and pressure from the streets. Charlie, Johnny Boy, Tony and Michael are the characters in the film who represent different people that common people might have faced in their life, Charlie being the one that gets by, Johnny Boy -the playboy, it’s a very deep story and it has shot in such an incredible way. Backed up with an extraordinary soundtrack from great artists. His  films inspires many  to become  filmmakers because of its originality.

                              Interviewing Martin Scorsese is like taking a master class in film. Entertainment is what all it matters to scorsese and that is the reason why entertaining background score is played in some fight scenes of his films and "MEAN STREETS" for instance. In an interview Scorsese was asked " why is it that the background score is entertaining in your movies during fight scenes?" " Because I'm not the one who is being beaten up , I find it interesting" laughs Scorsese.

                              One will be definitely surprised on seeing the sadistic and animalistic character of Jake La Motta played by De Niro in "RAGING BULL" and the " BEST SADISTIC ACTOR " goes to ROBERT DE NIRO. Thanks to MARTIN SCORSESE !!

                              HUGO is  another film directed by Scorsese which completely deviated the audiences from his previous films and it is critically acclaimed for its breath taking screenplay.

                              You couldn’t help but get chills as you looked into Martin Scorsese’s eyes.  After more than 35 years of film making, Martin Scorsese finally won his Academy Award for " THE DEPARTED ".To understand Martin Scorsese one must keep in mind his roots. Mr. Scrosese grew up in a neighborhood where violence was simply a way of life. Since the birth of narrative film violence has been a strong presence. The violence in The Great Train Robbery has little resemblance to reality, but violence is, none the less, present. The final shot of "GOODFELLAS" in which a character [JOE PESCI] shoots a gun directly at the audience is a direct homage to this history.

                              As we examine his films, let us keep in mind that it is not simply about the presence of violence, but the glorification of violence. The mere fact that a film contains violence does not mean that it glorifies it. I would further argue that a film that the amount of violence in a film does not always play into whether a film glorifies violence. In each of these films Mr. Scorsese shows us three violent subjects. A war film would not be criticized for containing a substantial amount of violence.Why then, should we apply a different standard to films about the violent world of the mafia, or the mind of a disturbed killer?

To be Or Not To be (A Gangster)

GOODFELLAS - the one movie that rebooted the whole gangster genre in the 1990s.
As Henry Hill [Ray Liotta] says in the movie "to me being a gangster is better than being the president of the united states " - the attraction is simple and convincing to the world of crime.

When you watch the movie you better be paying attention to the current situation of crime world or else you will be attracted to that world inspired from Henry Hill , Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito who are played by Ray Liotta , Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci respectively. Directed in highly stylish manner by Martin Scorsese who is regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers living today, among his friends Steven Spielberg , George Lucas , Francis Ford Coppola.

More or less it doesn't matter you'll get attracted to being a gangster after watching breathtaking performances from the three main characters in the film.

A movie that is ahead of people and filmmaking techniques made it one of the best crime dramas.
The Copacabana scene in the movie where Henry Hill takes his girl friend, Karen into the restaurant from the back entrance is a famous steady cam shot without a cut. The importance of steady cam is known to filmmakers of this generation on watching the scene where it is considered as one of the best shots in the history of cinema and also being taught in film schools about the importance of the shot and the movie.

The guns and bullets including the girls in the movie influence your mind to that extent where even a gun in your hand would make you feel proud because of it’s power taking you to new heights in the world.

Joe Pesci - you'll never forget him after watching him in the movie as a short- tempered gangster, Tommy De Vito, and that the sadism in his character would just give you chills.

Never mind the abusive words in the film for, without them a gangster movie would look dumb.

FYI , the word "FUCK " has been used about 296 times in the movie about being more than half used by Tommy [Joe Pesci].

This flick after you watch will make you Wiseguy or a Good guy...!

The last one thing that could be learned from the movie is what Jimmy says to Henry when he is out of a case
" Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut ".

A STEP DEEP INTO KASHYAP AND WASSEYPUR

Anurag Kashyap - The man behind the indie filmmaking in India. The only man who made movies with people, not stars. In India, new wave cinema has made its way through Anurag. The fact that his films like Dev.D, Black Friday, Gulaal and Gangs of Wasseypur are highly successful alongside the commercial industry. Filmmaking is his life, his way to live life in the happiest possible way. His commandments gives us a total different perspective on films and their making. The fact that his films have been critically acclaimed in international film festivals is what makes Anurag the pioneer of indie cinema in India.

 The entire 5 hour 20minutes movie is broken into two parts as Gangs of Wasseypur I and II where this film is a perfect example for ‘movies will turn out to be great’ only because of the content and not because of the art work present on the screen or the visual effects that makes people go ‘aww!’

Who would want to believe when I say that the entire two part film is made in a mere budget of 20 crores?  The first part of the film was released on 22^nd june with a tagline ‘teri kehke loonga’- who else would dare to screw you from the front by telling you except for Anurag Kashyap and the hardcore ‘Sardar Khan’. I would like to discuss my experience of watching Gangs of Wasseypur on the very first day of its release. I was alone in the screen which is hardly filled with normal audiences and a few film buffs. The movie started and then a famous television soap opera song started playing before the guns started doing their job – you’ll be excited then because that’s where an Anurag Kashyap film starts while describing the deep history and the present status of Wasseypur and its people. Goosebumps ran all over me when I saw the text ‘20 years later’ on screen where a bomb explodes giving a clue how violent and raw the movie is going to be.

Who can forget the violent climax scene where (Sardar Khan) even after taking a round of bullets, gets up and remembers his oath-

‘hamare zindagi ka ekhi maksad hai – badlaa!
Ramadhir singh ko badappan ka seedi chadthe hue roz dekha nahi jaata.

Us harami ko hame mitaana hai. 

Goli nahi maarenge saale ko - kehke lenge uski!’ 

– and here starts the journey of Faizal Khan, the son of Sardar Khan, into the politics and life of wasseypur and his plot to avenge the deaths of his family.

The audiences found the first part of the movie a bit complex and critics compared the film to be inspired from ‘the Godfather’- where Anurag responds to it saying ‘I’m kind of happy about it’. When a hollywood movie buff watches this film, he/she’ll observe few references from movies of Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese of whom Anurag is a huge fan – for example, the lengthy dramatic yet violent scene where Definite Khan kills Sultan can be compared to have been inspired from the famous ‘briefcase retrieval’ scene in ‘Pulp Fiction’.

The second part of Gangs of Wasseypur has been commercially and critically successful than the first part where colourful characters like Definite, Perpendicular, Tangent occupy the screen to present their story in their own style. 

The exciting elements Kashyap presented in the film like building up of character of perpendicular – A violent 14 year old with a blade in his mouth who robs Wasseypur in broad daylight using a gun and escaping every single chase from the police will just blow you away by knowing what Anurag Kashyap is capable of as a director. Faizal Khan’s expression of satisfaction when he’s done with his job of killing Ramadhir Singh is what makes the movie what it is – the perfect cast in hindi cinema after a very long time. 

Since Mumbai noir/gangster genre has become a part of Indian cinema, we've been watching films only of that sort. Satya – A masterpiece in the Indian cinema is written by Anurag Kashyap along with Saurabh Shukla. But, today, when we watch Gangs of Wasseypur, it completely comes to us at a very different angle to the world of mafia. Though the core theme is revenge, it is portrayed with disturbing and violent images, the rise of political power, the power of guns, the dark and hardcore humour and especially the way Anurag directed it.

‘Dark’ has always been the subject of Kashyap in his movies. For instance, the dark life of a girl in ‘That girl in yellow boots’ shows us the other face of people in a normal society and her perspective on people and their perspective on her who can be anything – a neighbor, a prostitute, a criminal – anything for that matter. The accuracy in ‘Black Friday’ in showcasing the shocking truths behind the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts would just make him the best documaker. His brilliance in showing Dawood Ibrahim in the movie is considered one of the best techniques in building art and drama to the character in the film.

Romance has become a very small part of Anurag’s movies. ‘why don’t you make romantic movies?’– A question was asked. Kashyap replies,‘If I make movies on romance, it completely changes the meaning of romance’. Though Kashyap made Dev.D, it’s more of showing the inner lives of the characters and their desperation for basic instincts.

Anurag Kashyap always stayed neutral in the rivalry between film and digital technology in filmmaking. He says, ‘It’s the budget that matters to me which makes me choose one of them’. He has worked on both film and digital according to the requirement and availability.

And finally, ‘what fascinated you the most to make gangs of wasseypur?’ – ‘the most fascinating thing for me to make this film is the possibility to tell the whole story and create a whole new world in north India’. Seriously, don’t you think Kashyap built a whole new world in making this film? I do.

Danny and Drugs.

“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a Fucking big television."

This is where the movie starts - Raw and fresh and all 'I-don't-wanna-get-caught' police chase in the busy, pale streets of britain. Danny makes us run along with the film throughout by his gripping cinematography and stunning direction.

Haunting Dreams, sex, Money and most important of all, Heroin are the main characters in the film where the supporting cast stars Ewan McGregor as a drug addicted and 'I'm-missing-something-in-my-life' kind of person. His brilliant performance adds to the perfect picture in Danny Boyle's list.

The symmetry in the cinematography and direction will give you a clue of what Danny and Britich Cinema can do!

I've been always fascinated by Danny's perspective on filmmaking and the ideology behind it. The fact that Trainspotting is considered the best in British cinema is because of what Danny did to the film by adapting it from a novel. The way the film feels rich is all because of the cinematography and the art Danny incorporated into the frame.

His first film 'Shallow Grave' stands always as a lesson to budding independent filmmakers like me and several others. Danny is like the unique guy who believed in digital technology in filmmaking where he shot many of his films using a digital camera - mostly canon 5D, 1D, SI-2K etc. Whereas in the industry of films, filmmakers like Christopher Nolan criticised the digital technology saying that it is unreliable but Danny proved that digital can be made use to shoot films with passion and with more realism in them and examples for his statements are the films by him.

'I exactly know what I'm getting on the set itself, I do not have to wait for the dailies and which obviously reduces the number of days in the production' says Danny Boyle speaking of cameras he uses.

Being a dark comedy, Trainspotting still questions people of their decisions in life, true identity, conscience, the temptation for basic instincts, reliability through the characters that reflect the shadows of the normal people in a society. A true depiction of addicts and their daily life is discussed and can be seen from so close that when the scene where the baby dies because the mother forgets to feed him for so many days because of she, being in the addicted state of heroin and so are the other people in the house will even give you goosebumps for a second. That is when you'll realize the pathetic and terrific state of addicts (not only of drugs but of money and violence) and their mental state which apparently makes them unstable.

Renton (McGregor) goes through a critical stage in his youthful life which involves involving with a 15 year old girl for sex and love(apparently) and a scene showing him getting inside of a toilet and getting enlightened for a second there, the hallucinations he experiences will try and change him in one way or the other possible way.

The power of Heroin still stands as a terrific stuff which is for sure an impact from the film and the way it is presented in the film. Though it is a neo-noir experience, the film has ground levels of reality in the locations, the characters, the situations they face etc which seems to be a homage to the films being made in Italy and all over the world on neo-realism and life events. But, this film for sure will stand different from all the ways of watching and making films. The reason is Danny Boyle.

When Danny made Slumdog Millionaire, the whole world of films watched it with an 'aww' expression on their faces - the fact is that the film again dealt with realism and the hunger of a poor kid and his journey through Mumbai and all over India in search of his love and destination. Slumdog Millionaire still surprises and gives the same feel everytime when you watch it - the reason is that the film was made with such a flexible vision and it was presented the same way through the eyes of Danny.

And then the philosophy of a drug addict who has got a clear vision on reliability and loyalty is worth thinking of - Yes, I'm speaking of the philosophy of Renton from Trainspotting!

Choose Life.

Enlightenment has an address.

The reason is simple enough - the movie questions the conscience of a person whose decisions affect his/her life in different ways. The film answers the question that every paranoid and intellectual would ask -- 'what is the purpose of life?'

As the monk in the film would describe, 'the entire purpose of existence is enlightenment and eventual liberation from the perpetual suffering of life and death.' Now, you're thinking if the answer is right enough for you to live life your way!

The movie starts with a frame that says 'Enlighten'. In the entire film, in every scene, deep into the situations and environment, Enlightenment is the core theme. Apparently, the film does not try hard enough to incorporate the theme into the minds of the audiences, but it is shown in a simple way through general conversations which reveal that the solution for everything starts from enlightening and liberating yourself from the restrictions.

Along with the script, which I consider one of the greatest screenplays in recent times, the cinematography of the film is also a lesson for me! The way the movie sounds is a lesson for me! The sound design and the sound mixing make the film a perfect piece of art.

The kind of work that Pankaj Kumar(cinematographer) did to the film is astounding.

'Ship Of Theseus' is not a film, but an ideology where the summary of it lies in the process of enlightening people and making them realize what is it's purpose all about. Anand Gandhi - we've got a great philosopher after a very long time in the Indian film industry, which up until now was stuck with the violent revenge dramas (not that I'm mocking some of the greatest revenge dramas like Sholay, Gangs of wasseypur, 1 and 2 which by the way are my favourites) and never-ending rusted love stories of which the people surely are fed up. Filmmakers like Anand are the ones who elevate the power of Indian Cinema by doing what hasn't been done in decades.

Indian Cinema has independent filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap, Dibaker Banerjee--who are today highly successful because of what they did when no one had the courage to do. They went beyond the lines of making films, which included Guerilla style of making films. Also, there are many other budgetary issues which help them to make their films at a low cost. Beg, borrow, steal has become the motto of these independent filmmakers, who are ready to do anything to make their film done.

Such filmmakers, today, question their own way of making films after watching SOT. Why? I think it's because of the content of the film and the way the film deals with the deep and intense philosophy about one's ideas and situations. For better, of course, Anand affected the Indian cinema Industry, which at least thinks from now on before making Chetan Bhagat crap again and leaving it to the audiences by incorporating romantic (so-called) scenes
and a melodramatic (dumb) climax with a happy ending title card.

The philosophies and the beliefs of each character in the film has to do something with the way we live life. It questions if you're living life by believing in whatever that satisfies your conscience.

There is no one favourite character for me in the film, for, every character has its unique perception and vision that'll make us take in the intensity of the product(idea, decision), the characters have produced. The favourite part for me in the film are the conversations between the characters at some point where a discussion turns into an argument revealing the truth from both sides and it's our call to pick which ever side that we trust in.

One such conversation will give you a clue of what the characters represent, which will make you watch the film immediately if you haven't seen the film yet.

“Charvaka : So your world view provides you with meaning, purpose?
Maitreya : see, we're dualists. If you were to ask me if life is perpetual or temporary, I'd say it's both. Temporary for the body and infinite for the soul.
The soul is formless, shapeless, non-matter and it connects to the world through the body and every minute action, even inaction leaves behind a karmic record on the soul and the purpose of our existence is enlightenment and eventual liberation from the perpetual suffering of life and death.
Charvaka : Okay, so why is there so much importance to not kill? I mean if you kill an animal it is probably going to come back, perhaps happier!
Maitreya : Freedom of choice and the right of consent is the core of our world view.
Charvaka : what about killing by consent?
Maitreya : How do you judge the validity of a consent?”

A blind photographer, A monk, A stock-broker - three people irrelevant to each other interpret their own language of life and get together at a certain point where they discover themselves.
A brilliant piece of art. Watch it for yourself. Watch it for enlightenment. Watch it for the inner meaning of the ideas behind the general conversations.
