 Are you gonna start a tradition of giving Halloween gifts to your children no that it's from there One set of grandparents. Ah, you know, it's funny though. Those are my parents. I never got Some Corbin, I'm Rick and he pulls it Thank you for some hate film for the guy we developed a lot of new cases links in description below and And today we are doing a Molly golem film. Yep review. Yeah, it's our Actually, I think it's probably a fourth. No 10th or something Molly all of them or something around there 10 I think it's around that. I don't know the exact number, but it's our third Ljp correct review. Yes. This is the obvious. I think we went backwards to I think we did we do that all the time Yeah, we see their latest and then we kind of just go in the wrong direction. Yeah, but it's I come Mollie Okay, I'm gonna mom Molly I'm Molly that was better on the Molly. Yeah, I'm Molly. Okay diaries. Yes I thought it said Vincent Price. Yeah, Vincent Price wanted to be a powerful leader of a righteous gang that ruled the city Like his seniors and then there's the rival clan With the malicious gangsters of on the Molly a locale in which the film is based basically just a rivaling gangs correct, but not like I wouldn't even say it's like a gangster gangster story It's it's more of like two local. Yeah, they're not not like organized crime. No, but they are it's not It's not like thugs of the town. It's not like gangs of wasp or no gangs. It's more like just local Smaller it's like groups. It's kind of like in Greece. You've got, you know, I've got the Thunderbirds And then you've got the sharks. Yeah, or no, no, that was that was West Side Story I don't know what they were. I came anyway, but no teabirds And then that's also what West Side Story is a good example, too. Yeah more like West Side Story. Yeah Not as much organized dance as West Side Story sadly but obviously that would have been great directed by L. J. P. Yeah, I'm not gonna attempt to say his name. And I believe there's about 80 New actors. I remember reading that somewhere had never acted before right, which is impressive. Yeah It's very impressive. But obviously done or sent for the view. That's how we do it If you haven't watched it go watch it come back. Yes, and I believe his next film He said he might do it release at VR, which would be crazy Is that that's what you think though? I do I I'm gonna be a good director. So yeah number one Man, it would be really cool to have his stuff as a VR Visually and audio and his sound and his visuals in the films we've seen It would be so immersive and so cool. Yeah, we've seen the trailer for it But obviously COVID I pushed it back and we don't know when it's coming out Just like everything else, but I think it has the potential to be as fun of an adventure as 3d was when 3d first came out like in the 1950s when it was like this brand-new thing and You and I are both not fans of 3d. Yeah, the only film I've seen recently in my lifetime that I was like, okay I want this and 3d was avatar. I enjoyed avatar in 3d. No, no me. It's the only film I've enjoyed yeah, but it'll be interesting. There was an article I've read so go go check on that But yeah, I'm just so all of you have a watch and go watch come back There you go. So a little paragraph for you. Okay a quirky little film Demonstrating once again, LJP's directing capacity most especially his musicality And his fondness for depicting the absurdity of mob mentality However, I did find this to be for me the least visually pleasing of his films and Again, I wasn't able to care or connect with characters in the story like I would like to Which he tends to do anyway It just seems to be actually I saw in this heat there was more in this one than there was in the previous two I saw the attempt to do that for sure. I saw there was more character focused on the other ones for sure But I I was not part here's part of the reason why And it just it is what it is. I know he's depicting how people really behave. Yeah in this place Yeah, okay But it's really hard for me to connect with a character when the characters are just most of the time Raging yeah, and and yelling and screaming and breaking things It I get disassociated and don't really it's like stop having tantrums and let me get to know more about you That's my own That's how did I hate but for me to connect with a story connected characters. I don't connect but in terms of I actually really enjoyed the film and I can see It's it's obviously different than jolly taco jolly taco. Yeah, there's visually just I much prefer that one that for me They're very different. I don't even know if I could compare them because also visually the last 10 to 15 minutes. Oh That last 12-minute shot one job, it's worth the price That was yeah, like that's the best thing about the film Sure, that's that's an absolutely that was one of the most incredible One shots agreed. I've ever seen agree like you know how difficult that is to pull off Like the ones we've seen in in mazipur and then family man both incredibly difficult hard But this had a thousand people. Yeah And you know one of the things I was looking for hmm and it wasn't there Hmm, I was looking to see if any background looked in camera to see if anybody was breaking. Mm-hmm Nobody did yeah, he really got that working and that climactic ending I wasn't expecting that when they're there and they're all just watching and it comes back I wasn't expecting to see that see him in the fireworks Yeah, which is one of my biggest gripes is I wanted it to end there on the fireworks not I didn't need What they were doing in Dubai now. I agree. I thought when it started to go up into the sky I was ready for credits. Yeah 100% he did He's done this twice in jolly taco and and this where he adds something at the end where I just don't think It needed it, right? I thought it was just it was a lot more powerful to end on a guy in yeah Firecrackers. I am a hundred percent agree with you and would have preferred it. It didn't ruin it obviously But it's just I like visually it would just be like whoa. Yeah, and I think it took something away I agree that like it's adding that little piece that I don't think was needed, right? I figured he was happy and right and that was somewhere and I think that's not a It's more personal. It's just exactly. It's a personal preference. It's not a flaw. No, no scratch But yes that one shot. I think it was 10 minutes or so long. Yeah, I don't it was great I want you to see the behind the scenes of how that was pulled off. Yeah I don't know how fast these camera people were running. Yeah fast Everybody else was running to get to it because they were not even going slow a lot of the times And I think what actually one of the brilliant things he did because this guy is he's the master of chaos He really has never seen anybody master chaos. Yeah the way he has yeah, and he's also a director. It's gonna be a weird comparison like It's not in their style like Nolan or a Guillermo Not in their style, but in that you go to a film to see the director's work Right the same thing you read to yeah You go you're like because a lot of time obviously you're going to see a good film You always go to see a good film, but sometimes with certain directors you go to see them direct 100% It like Tarantino Nolan Tarantino. Yes, the ones who are very that they have their own star He is 100% one of those right versus example a Fantastic director who I think doesn't get near enough credit when you talk about some of the best directors two of them Catherine Bigelow and Ron Howard both of them Kind of disappear in the fabric of their storytelling. Yeah, you know and that's just and that's a beautiful style for direction Versus I agree. He's the kind of director who puts a stamp on something and when you hear that he has a film like Nolan It's I don't care if he's in it. Yeah, I don't care what the story is. It's a Nolan film I want to watch it. Yeah, because you're going to see their style and he has that especially in Jalitaku Yeah, that's like it. There was no stars in that He is the star the director is the star because of what he did with that film and obviously this I and we'll get into it now But yeah, I there wasn't I don't even know if I could pick my favorite because they're actually very different I think actually the Mother Mary one. It would probably my least favorite. Hmm of the dead this one I like that one a lot. I liked them all but this one for me is my least of the ones we've seen yeah Because I what I really enjoyed The it was about every 15 minutes you'd be going long and they'd have some you know Dialogue dialogue and then there would just be a random thing that happens. Yeah to get you back right into it Oh, it's not boring. Oh, no. Oh, that's a hundred percent for my ADD brain that that's really fun Yeah, that was oh, this is great This keeps you engaged like they're talking and then somebody just drives by and tries to smack them in the head And then he does just a great take on the thing and just talking alone I mean we've seen this in a lot of the Malayalam films the speed at which they speak yeah You got to be paying really close attention. Yeah, the Malayalam Language is ridiculously fast fast as well. I think the fastest. Yes. Why if we did like a language guess I think that's how I could pick up on that that would be my Tell-tale sign if it like oh, this is the really fast one right Tamil is also pretty fast as well But Malayalam from all the films that we've watched is just so so fast But I do want to talk about his sound design. It's always great because he's so quirky With those sounds he picks like what was it? I think they were jumping over something, right? Yeah, and he put like this I don't even know what it was It's a root sound to accentuate it and that's what I meant in the paragraph Whereas here's um, whereas this would be my least favorite which sounds weird because I like this film, but my favorite thing in this That I didn't notice as much in the others was just how musical he is in his direction Even when there is no music he does some things with sound that are Really really musical and I look like there was some of the knocking things that were matching some of the things musically He did that which was obviously musical And but very different to the sounds and some of the other films which were just the way he can capture the ambient noise That's why the thought of him doing virtual reality. Yeah, Jolly Taco would have been amazing That's the one I would that's my favorite of the ones we've seen. Yeah, that's my favorite one. I Think if I watch it again, it may be but it's just that Personally, I like stories that are more actor driven. Sure. This is probably the most actor driven But obviously visually that was just stunning visual audio So I don't I love them. I love the metaphor. Yeah, I love that that whole film is just the singular metaphor That he's talking about and you know that that whole picture of who's the real animal here It is interesting because he does have a film with Faha Facile, I think it's up next. I think I think it's called a nun. Okay, there's something like that Obviously So Jolly Taco Dairies Amen, I think I'm in I think it was 2013 so it was before all of these Well, yes, but hot for seal So you guys can let us know if that that's where they will watch but to have an actor like that and a director Like him working together is a pretty exciting thing very, but anyways Yeah, but the sound design was one of my most favorite parts of this film for sure And I thought especially the main the main guy. I thought did really really well And especially I liked his relationship a lot with the love interest. I thought that was nice She for me there was a moment that she had before she married. Yeah. No, no, no, no the other one who leaves other one They leave. Okay. Yeah, she had a really tender Yeah moment and a conversation with him that I thought was very emotionally don't when he said don't cry Yeah, it was very emotionally believable and then a beautiful shot that he pulled back on very pretty shot and But there wasn't anything no one did anything that was oh, no That wasn't I don't think it was any there just wasn't anything for there wasn't a performance in here where I thought I'm gonna act with them. I just never came close I'm wondering if he he's just not one of the directors that you're gonna see those types of things because it's it's more about the chaos and Right and the story right only then any singular actor That's at least what we've seen so far. That is what we've seen so far and that's one of the things where I think Stylistically, I appreciate the style that he has that is definitively his thumbprint I would like to see something that goes outside of that. Yeah, and maybe this is that with Fahat Paseel because you got a heavyweight Strong actor here. Yeah, this may be one of those things that takes you outside the box And if there's one thing I have a feeling that LJP is is he's just someone who will not allow himself to become predictable He's just gonna do something because it's a fresh thought and he's gonna do it. Yeah, not because it works It's creative. It's creative. Yeah. Yeah, so that's what excites me about him And as much as he has that thumbprint these are very different films. They are very very different films like insanely different like you would not Imagine I mean outside of the chaos. No, that's I guess you can see you might not even know if you didn't know It was the same director. Yeah, you might not know. No, but he loves chaos, but he does Yeah, he I think that's probably one of the absurdity that gets him most excited Yeah, and I think randomness and and chaos. I think he's also just great for my brain not just absurd But in all the films of his that we have seen there is this I think I used this description in the last two of his that we saw where he has a Words escaping me right now. It's not delicious and it's in the same realm as absurdist, but it's it's more biting It's satirical where he'll actually present something that to the common person looking they may not they might not capture The the undertone of what he's really conveying so like he can he could convey two people fighting Yeah, and at face value. It's these two guys fighting But what he's doing is he's showing you aren't these guys idiots could you believe that they're fighting about this? It does like a lot and I think that was one of the problems a lot of people had with Charlie taco that didn't get it Right was they watching they're very intelligent. What is very intelligent? I don't care about anyone What is the point right right if they're dumb? And those actually a lot of people that I Remember reading they're like, yeah, I didn't like this film at all And I think it's because neither they didn't pick up on what he was trying to say. Yeah Well, we said this during the review. We've said this about the movie us. Yeah, where There's unfortunately The movies that those are made for The people who need to see them and be changed by them. They'll either never see it or when they do they won't get it Yeah Sadly, mm-hmm because they're either not getting the cinematic intelligence or just simply the intelligence quotient to convey a truth And it's just it is what it is. Also, if you know like maybe it's just because they're from Malayalam, but like a Lot of like food is a big emphasis for him. Yeah, and I don't know what that is I don't maybe it's just Indian Obviously, we know Indians love food and they're very very food. We do people But he tends to accentuate the food and also the murder. Yes of that food Well, and and you have to take that into consideration not just because it's an artistic choice Yeah, and I'm glad you brought it up because we know from other things We've seen in other films as well as stories. We've heard from stupid babies that there is a striking difference between the non-veg, you know, the whole really the whole meat-eating food-eating thing falls into the Islamic majority and the vegetarian falls into the Hindu majority not that they are all definitively that but you do wonder if there's some of that that's above our head in terms of Culturally what he's intending to say and what audiences receive in India who grow up around the cultures where there are such Strong feelings about me killing animal. It seems like every single one. He's accentuated You really have process of yeah either hunting this animal or killing this animal It was for this one. It was pigs. Yeah, the one prior. It was beef. Yeah. Yeah, a jelly taco It was a beef, right? Yeah, and then I think I can't remember in the other one What exactly but I don't obviously there wasn't about killing. Well, it was about killing people Yeah, that was about people but I feel like food was also a big emphasis in that one if I'm not wrong But I don't know what that is. I don't either he seems to like really Accentuate that part of it. Yeah, and it could be it's in your face And I'm like because I people don't like to see that obviously no one likes to see how their meat is No, and it could be one of two things Sincerely from a director's vantage point. It could be if he was a meat eater It could be haha, isn't this gross? This is what I do. Haha. It's you know almost making fun of it It could also be I'm a vegetarian isn't this disgusting see why I don't eat meat Yeah, and it could just be a third reason that we don't even know the reason behind it Yeah, I was just watching it. I was like, but it's intentional. He seems to accentuate it I don't want it to be interesting talk to know we're not we don't have clients to talk to him That's not yet. That's what anybody thinks yeah all the time But we would love to if anybody knows them send them our way and it may be related as well to It could be something as simple as just hey guys, you know what? Malalum culture wherever you go down there Meets a big part of the culture. That's it. That's simple. They're very Christian down there as well Yeah, very very simple is that for us eating meat and seeing meat butchered on the streets It's literally just as much part of our culture as anything else So what he's just doing is showing you he's immersing you in our culture. Yeah. Yeah, I was just wondering but yeah That's what that's what we think of it. Let us know which of his films we should watch next Is it the almond or is it a different one and? Not him. Well, it's the next Malayalam film we should watch. Obviously. There's a bunch of fuck for CEO There's bunch of just other people that we need to watch as well folks We haven't been introduced to yet Malayalam's a big industry. Yep, and you know, we love it We've been very impressed like very you know, it's probably consistently the best industry I think because the that we've seen the most of for sure Yeah Because obviously there's some we've seen one or two and that's right We can't really judge right but I think the one that's probably the weakest is was virus And that wasn't even that we didn't like that film. It is just correct only the weakest like for me to say this is my least favorite of LJP's films Well, yeah, it's still really good compared to everything else we've seen. Yeah. Yeah, agreed So let us know what film we should watch next and how what you thought of it and and and other and other things Let us know some stuff
