This is Hits of Corbin. I'm Stupid and Kvolsa. Instaglab and Twitter. I'm doing more juicy content. It's Reggie. He's on Patreon, Pwns, Super The Countdown. And they go, squabba! Pelsnaught Personally YouTube channels. He's got one. I got one. We've got one. I've got some serious international stuff coming up Yeah, I looked up all of the films that are in the running for Globes and Oscars Fun fun fun fun. There's at least a hundred that people are talking about You got a lot of work. Got a lot of work to do But today we are doing the movie review as we do often on this channel twice a week usually Sometimes more something new releases and Corbin. What exactly is going on behind us? Oh, that's something the stupid family made For classic month, which is either here or coming up or past us depending on when you see this video Yes, because we don't know when you're watching this video, but February of 2021 or do is classic month We are only watching in terms of just film. We only watching Classic films if you're watching this on January 18th, 2023. Hi. Hi. Nice to see you Um But yes, we are reviewing a Marathi film. Yes called Kila. Yes it's a believe a 2014 film and also this is the Patreon regional selection of the month. Hey, what's that? What what is that quarter miles every month? All patreon members regardless from a dollar tier on up Get to take part in a recommendation and then I take the top four recommendations from the regional and the Hindi And they all go into a poll and we watch a one regional 01 Hindi that they choose wait what if you're on patreon you actually have a say on what we do here on the channel a little bit Little bit. Wow. That's whack. So this was their regional one for this month And I believe it's our I think fifth Marathi just put it on the list. I think you're right. I think it's fifth. Okay But yes 2014 a comedy dropping more of a coming-of-age story Yeah, I would say a 11-year-old Indian boy who has just lost his father's forced to adapt to new School in a small village. It seemed like Kerala to me This story is about how he copes Copes up. Yeah, that's strange. I like Yeah, it's a story about he cokes up and how life has Has to move on transforming a young man's mind into an adult day by day directed by Avanish Arun and then starring Amruta Subash and Archit Deodar as well as a big supporting cast big supporting cast And so if you haven't seen it go watch it. We taught on Netflix short film I think it's our 45 or something like that. Yep. So go watch it. We just like to do spoiler reviews here So Rick your initial thoughts. I have a paragraph. Good. Yeah, but I want I had it's been a while Killa is about people places and moments that shape us How oftentimes we find those we thought were closest to us abandoning us when we felt we needed a most this boy starts the film as shallow and Shellfish as a crab But ends it as deep as the ocean learning the lessons that life is bigger than any one of us and that if you take a Moment to stop and look you'll begin to not hate life for the transience of things But appreciate the miracle that's living life in moment by moment gratitude for every blessing you were allowed to experience We've had three in a row. Mm-hmm. I The more this movie went on the more I loved this movie. Yeah, and it's definitely I Didn't enjoy the film as well There's it's honestly not a lot you can find wrong with this film because the locale I don't know where it was It looked like Kerala and also tell me if that fort is the same fort as in Bombay It seemed like it sure to me especially when they were up on top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so if let me know if I'm wrong That's what it seemed like. I'm sure that India has a ton. Yeah of forts on on the ocean. Yeah, but they do That's what it seemed like to me So let me know if I'm right, but this is also a first-time director and this little I believe and cinematographer No, he's normally a cinematographer. No, I know I mean he did both the direction and cinematography Yeah, and it is more often a cinematographer. Yeah, and this was his first and then he's I believe taken a break Since then and now it looks like he has one unpaused looks like he is the director of One of the directors of unpaused which I believe is a Hindi film But regardless. Yeah, I I really I really did enjoy this film. It's if you don't like slow burns You might not enjoy it But if you like good cinema and just watching a story, this is a fly on the wall Uh, you might not you might come away. It was like, what was the What was the purpose of that? Yeah, if you if you allow yourself to to wander off and think that what you're seeing Doesn't have a purpose behind it. Yeah, that could easily happen. But if you pay attention Yeah, um, it definitely had a bunch of messages about a bunch of different things but also if you're not paying attention or if you just Lack today's glee watching it because you're you're bored because the it's not an action-filled Story you you might miss it, but There's there's a lot to be said about this film and I think you did a brilliant job in terms of just writing in terms of Obviously cinematography It was not hard to make this film beautiful. It was really but some of his shots come being a cinematographer first You could tell that they were just they were absolutely gorgeous. But then also you love the story arc It was similar to almost an appu Similar story arc in terms of the child being an asshole for a while Yeah, and then finding his way and then you know befriending, you know, um animal cruelty children Yeah, that was that was hard for me to get that. Oh, I knew I knew you. I was like what is going on. Yeah How dare you not that anybody should like it No, you have a particular But then obviously it got into more of the friendship story of a kid and his friends and in him dealing with the fact that Um, you know, he's he's finally got these friends. They hurt him, but then they're stronger together and then he's like Now I have to do this now. I have to do this again. Yep I I actually thought something was going to happen to him the entire time. I was waiting for the proverbial like Um death yet death or like similar to for a while. I thought it was going like, um Um, why am I forgetting the name of the family walk on the train tracks stand by me? Oh, okay I thought it was going like a stand by me kind of way. Yeah, but yeah I There's a lot. I think if you If I could relate to this movie in a million ways in ways not everybody could relate. Yeah I grew up as an only child raised by my mom. Yeah I never went to the same school two years in a row until I hit high school So and when I was his age It was the first time I ever got grounded in a particular place when my mom and I were living on Delano street in Van Eyes And the buddies that I hung out with it was one of those Hi, mom a way back for dinner and you know, you were out on a Saturday morning And then you were not back till dark when we could go miles away from home And it was just me and rike, lino, chacho, miguel All hanging out together and I vividly. I mean I still remember the names and that aspect of Hanging out with your buddies and then Leaving that and having if if you haven't had stuff Ripped from your life that you wished could stay there Whether it was a parent who died or a loved one or something you won't relate to this as well and and I thought the the Realization he comes to and literally that parallel between the shellfish the crab he he learns the difference between uh Being a selfish person. Mm-hmm and then from the fisherman He gets the larger view which interestingly is out away from where he's living He gets he gets a literal Larger perspective by going outside of where he's typically from and looking at it from the outside in with this man who's The only real male figure you see that he has any kind of an affinity toward in some way and obviously his dad's not there Which is a great scene and they didn't say much great See that's the other thing is the writing in this was so good This movie Feels like in every way the pacing of it and what it does with your imagination. It felt like a book Yeah, it really feels like a book presented and a picture paints a thousand words Uh two notable things i want to point out the first one is um ruta subash The the mom the mom Which we've seen before we we have we've seen her in two places Sacred games and gully boy. Yes. Yeah, and she Simultaneously conveys the courage and strength of a single mom Yeah, as well as the fears and vulnerabilities of a single mom and she does it with an effortless presence as believable as anybody I've seen in indian cinema. I I thought she was Beautiful. Yeah, she did. She did a really good job that that that scene where after Stuff happened to him and then uh, he was all rude, right? Yeah, and then he just came home and she was kind of yelling him and he just went up and hugged her Yeah, and said i'm sorry. Yeah and I loved I loved that he Everything didn't there wasn't uh nothing was forming a leg. He came about the realizations. He did seemingly in real time Yeah, I mean it's a short film, but it feels long and I don't mean that in a bad way It feels like we actually get to live through This season of his life with him and I found the last moment to be A really perfect button on the end of the whole thing because It conveys the adult perspective. So Immaturity is the ultimate sign of uh, I mean selfishness is the ultimate sign of immaturity And most of us yours truly included when we're kids We think the world revolves around us and when our world gets screwed up We don't see anything else and we blame our mom and one of the things that's thought the hallmark of maturing Is recognizing the world doesn't revolve around you and that other people are going through stuff, too And he realizes that with his mom. He also realizes that with his buddies It's no longer about the fact that it's just about him And it isn't what happens to us It's how we responded that because you can't control your circumstances But you can't control how you respond to it and the difference between a mature optimistic person and an immature pessimistic person is the way you view your circumstances and in the end He could have easily become an embittered young man Who just blames his mom for life screwing him up and his friends were taken away, but instead he has this like Wiseness beyond his ears looking at his buddies and rather than hate the fact It's his last moment with them Yeah, he embraces the fact that this is his last moment with them Yeah, and and relishes the fact of wow I may never get to experience this again versus I'm not jumping in because my friends are getting taken away Yeah, you know that's my favorite thing about the film. Yeah the and I want to applaud obviously everybody did really well But once again as we always say it's so difficult to get children to act incredibly well We've seen actually quite a bit in Indian cinema Great kid actors and this is no different. They all I believe every single one of them I believe that they weren't they almost seem like they weren't even acting for the screen Which is a testament to them and the director mostly I can't think of another film. I've seen that has a better child cast My favorite child acting cast well cast the one with Rima Doth the the village rock stars and and um, yeah Bulbul can say but there was more this movie hinged even more on these guys and I especially Applied like okay, so I put down as we're going. I'm keeping track of the things that I think I want to have nominated next year, right? on my list Maybe getting knocked off at some point with other roles but Where's his name? right here Partha Bilaro, I'm sure I mispronouncing his name He's the the young friend who's sticking the gasoline up the dog's butt. Yeah that kid. Yeah, he did really well I just hated him Even the even just the I believed I had no doubt But I had no doubt we were watching kids in class. Yeah, no doubt I definitely I've known kids like every single one of these friends. Oh, yeah, like they're the roles in the friend group Yes, uh, who's the leader who's the clown? Yeah, who's the clown who's the the the one that's the go-getter who's that smart one? Yeah, who's one of the cheats in class? Yeah, yeah So it was it was really a testament to the directing and also I love that little message at the end To my parents. I love that. I wrote that down as well. He was like He was the dick Obviously when you get older because when you're a kid everybody thinks that you know If something happens to you it's the end of world. I'm never gonna treat my kids like this I'm never gonna expect my kids. Yeah, I'm never gonna. I'll never do to them what they did to me Yeah, and then when you get older, you're like, oh, no, they they were right. Right. That was that was good I'm glad they I'm glad they taught me that lesson Uh, and so once again the testament to the it was like like I said I can't really find anything wrong with this style of film Uh outside of if you just don't like slow films, you might not enjoy but that's not a flaw with the film That's a flaw with your taste. Um Oh The score. Oh, yeah The score often very subtle gorgeous really really good Score was absolutely gorgeous and it really I would admit that I will have an affinity for this In ways I didn't for say the last two we've seen that we've loved which is the great indian kitchen and parched because all three of these are just like back to back to back home runs Yeah, back to back to back home runs and they go so well together. It's really strange But you know the only child aspect I remember my favorite gift I ever got as a child when I was about his age was about 11 years old And I got the dream gift. I wanted which was a mongoose dirt bike And being able to take that mongoose dirt bike out with my buddies and go biking all over the place and doing races and those kinds of things And not having my dad around because my mom and dad had divorced I only got to see my dad every other weekend and the the A different relationship he had with his mom, which I that's a bunny trail to go down He had a very different relationship than I had with my mom But there's so much about that that I could relate to being the new kid making the friends being taken away um, and then the it's just I the more I watched it the more I loved it Yeah, I just I can't find anything wrong with it. Yeah, it's it was an absolutely really good film. Also We really haven't had a bad marathi film. No, I'm looking at our play this right now. So this is the fifth I believe so obviously we're going to be watching a lot more but um, we've had I'm sure obviously there's one that especially you have liked more than others But uh, not some rot side rot Uh the factory Court and court and then this one. Yeah I've I think probably my least favorite is probably the not some rot one Uh, which is kind of not fair, but I would agree. Yeah, totally But it's it was definitely not uh, Nina patekar's fault in that one. Uh, I think it was just the The film itself didn't it wasn't didn't speak to me as much. Yeah, but uh, it was still good But every it's every single other one has been Really good, especially in my opinion. Uh, I know you especially loved I love factory factory I know you liked quarterlock and obviously this one and I know you like side rot You just didn't love it as much as I did. Correct. Um, and I would for me It would be difficult for me because there's such different films Whereas factory is a celebration of things cinema those always hold You know, it's like bird man or hugo these things that are celebratory of the art form Yeah versus a story like this one I'd be hard pressed to say which one's my favorite of these two. Yeah, but I will say this I I was as I was watching this movie toward the end and just Relishing in the score in the direction and the cinematography and the beautiful performances of these kids I was I it really was for me If this may possibly be like a switchover because I Granted we're watching more indian films and I'm watching any other country right now. It's yeah, right However, yeah, including united states of what I'm seeing come out of the united states Coming out of hollywood India's telling better stories But india's telling better universal truth human stories. Like here's the issue We're picking and choosing Some of the best from each year. I know but i'm talking about the stuff in the past couple years that have made it to the award It depends. I've we've said we've had some really great stuff. Yeah, but yeah, but as a whole I just am getting far more Uh, I mean the past three we just watched were one two three where I was like, wow, what a beautiful film I can't remember the last time I saw three films out of hollywood that I said beautiful film three in a row Three in a row three in a row, but you know, once again, we usually watch them that the new ones that come out this year We're going through their entire history and even when I watch sag screeners. Yeah, but I'm once again That was just those years. Yeah, as opposed to these this was those 2014 films So we picked out a great film from 2014 the next time we're going to pick out a great film from 2017 Yeah, so it's it's it's not really fair because obviously I could pick a great film from hollywood from 2014 And then I could pick a great film from set uh 2017 Sure to show somebody who's never seen it sure and they would think that same So it's it's not really fair, but I understand what you're saying Um, like even a film as good as enjoyable and as well done as bombshell. Yeah, or Um, but peanut butter falcon, bro. Peanut butter falcon is great But compared to like this compared to peanut butter falcon. I like this better than peanut butter falcon I could watch peanut butter falcon more Oh, no, I mean, yeah, I loved peanut butter. Well, I know charlie buff has some stuff right now, which is really sad, but yeah Uh, which makes it really upset. Uh, but anyways that we're off on a buddy trail now. Sorry This was great. Uh, let us know what's the next morothy film We show I know there's a bunch in the can that people people fan tree I know, uh, I think jogua was one I know there's a bunch and I'll be really excited for both that young man and for Mala in this that we've seen in gully boy and sacred games. I thought she was yeah, absolutely great Beautiful. Let us know what you wish to watch next down below
