Dosar - Nitin and the hollowness
Dear Nitin,
Thanks for such a wonderful view about the movie and giving us some to points to ponder and think about. Your personal opinion and views are really appreciable and respected. Will request you not to take this mail in a personal way but again as my views on the film. Shall love to listen from you more once you are thru with the same.
Art and culture apart from providing entertainment to people has always carried a great responsibility to act as a reflection of the society, to capture the best and the worst socio economic activities to act as a documental evidence for the generations to come. Today how our generation has come to know about “ Bidhaba Bibaha” , “Sati Daha”, “ The tortures of British on us” . Yes there have been historians who have captured that but again the intellectual segment of the society – namely the poets, the writers, singers never stayed back they also came up in their own capacity to raise their voices against all the current socio political vices and raise an awareness.
Yes I do agree that all of us can never become “Buddha” neither all of us would try to do that . But I could not understand the statement “It has projected the basic physiological needs of humans in a wrong way” Don’t you think that the very basic fact it makes you feel that it has projected a wrong thing – serves the purpose of the film as it makes you realize what is right and wrong ?? The film acts s a documentation of our present lives and the shallowness of our lives as rightly you said life is not about “staying in Kolkata, marrying, purchasing a luxurious apartment, a car, keeping a 24 hour help at home to take care of ageing parents and children, while slogging at office without any vision and partying hard during weekends” But I believe life is all about enjoying all this and still discussing about a movie for the whole night and reinvent our past in an absolute new light . Today all of us are running after money or else we would not have checked the package offered in any new assignment and neither would have tried to negotiate it. Why do we do that to earn and gain comforts of life. The essence of life remains in the fact that inspite of all this if you can relate yourself with the bigger world .
I am really not that well read that I will be able to match up your examples from the various texts that you have referred but you have raised two questions which I will try to answer . Yes he has not answered what type of a relationship Prasenjit and Mita had because the purpose of the film was not that at all .The purpose of the film was to capture what people undergo under these circumstances and what is the role of an ideal companion . Have you ever tried to think that what you would have gone thru if you had been “Mitas’ husband ? How helpless one feels when he comes to know about the wife and cannot shout at her . I repeat the purpose of the film was to capture the introspection after a storm. Kankona Sensharma as per you has been very rude and indifferent. What else would you expect from a wife when she comes to know that her husband is involved in an incident like this where you are not sure about the depth of the relationship, but if you have noticed very carefully she has never missed a chance to serve her duty towards her husband. This proves the greatness of our generation where we raise ourselves to a state that in spite of everything relationship and belongingness to that relationship comes first.
Speaking about relationships it’s actually a vaccum /monotony that grows in a marriage that makes us look for options outside. Again the purpose of the film was not to analyse why the vaccum but what if the vaccum
Will like to know what do you mean by this - “where a man is shown having copulation with a woman in a supposedly artistic way, which to me is nothing more than two animals playing the mating game.” But as per me which most of us will agree this “mating game “ is one of the key ingredients to cement a relationship and to feel its completeness . “Its very easy to connect with one person intellectually but to have the completeness of the relationship we need to connect thru body also . It’s the way two bodies speak the language and communicate------ as per Mads.
Lastly will like to know what is your answer /take on the fact that if tomorrow you had found your wife in such a situation and her partner had died in an accident
