 Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Name that song. Pure imagination. Swapp. Hey! Ju... Welcome back to our Stupid Or Excusy. Hey, it's cream. I'm R익 P Yokoh, so Instagram, Twitter. That's all. GC content. Some page I'm selling for the camera and you'll be able to get... Ow, ow, ow, ow. Also, my personal YouTube channel is in the description below. What are we doing? KGF, teas, no. We already did that. In case of you didn't notice, holy cow. Not in the world. Maniacs out there. Uh, now, it's like a fastest to a million video. Got of all time. Got to a million in less than 24 hours. That was crazy. Insane. But anyways. Today we're reacting to a little video. This is called, what is this called, Rick? It's called the meaning of poop. Nope, nope, that's not. Oh, was I close? No, no. It's is, uh... Say this. It's MTS Ali on growing up with movies. Oh, cool. I'm guessing this is like a little video of him talking about... Cool! Growing up there. Obviously, we've seen a few of his films. Obviously, it was Tamasha, right? And... I'm trying to think of... Was it Tamasha? And, what's that one with Pranka, though? Or am I thinking of somebody else? Why do I feel like we've seen at least three? I think we have. Yeah, the... It's Tamasha. Right? Okay, so, unless this is not... I'm just looking on Tamasha, Jabwee Matt, we saw with young Shahid. Highway. Highway. What? Black Friday. This has got to be a combination of things here. Let me look at his aim to be... Yeah, for his directing credits. Rockstar. That's what it was. No, he was a writer. He was a writer. Yeah, I was gonna say, where are we seeing his direction? This is him writing. Direction. Tamasha, spectacle is Tamasha. Highway, Jabwee Matt. Yeah, and Rockstar. Yeah, I knew there was three. Yeah. So there's four, actually. Really? Jabwee Matt, Highway, Tamasha, and Rockstar. Four. Four of his films. And so, yeah, this is, I'm guessing, him just talking about growing up with film? Must be. And obviously, Tamasha, one of your favorite films. Yep. I love Tamasha. Here we go. I feel that lots of things in my life have happened like accidents. And one of them was that I was asked to do a school play when I was in the ninth grade. I was chosen to be Aladdin, who had to sing and dance and act. I think the background of filminess that I had and all of what I had seen, et cetera, helped me. And I was very fascinated by the fact that I'd be on stage. I think that really began the process of doing, participating in media and in storytelling, for me. I, as a kid, had access to cinema theaters in Jamshedpur because my relatives own Jamshedpur talkies and Star Talkies and Karim talkies. Even when I was a kid, the gatekeepers knew me. The projectionists knew me. So I could go up to the projection room and watch. I made friends with the projectionists. There were once in a while where he asked my help to load the reel as well. And I was very fascinated by the atmosphere of the theater. It did not matter what movie was running, but just the melodrama, the sound, the music, the big faces. And then you look at a screen from odd angles like very close to the screen on top of that balcony where you can just huddle and sit on the floor and watch. Amitabh Bachchan's face looks huge. And on the other side of the screen, Rekha's face looks small. But you still enjoy that. So for me to be in that room was spectacular just to be in that room was enchanted. Then I found that there are so many connections between stories we have heard through eras and that have inspired us. And that became the synthesis of Tamasha as it exists. That there's a boy that in a way is me at every age being fascinated by stories and wanting to be in that world and what wanting to somehow participate, be a part of it, tell stories, listen to stories. I have not really been to film school. I have also not assisted anybody while directing. Interesting, wow. So I'm that freak show that came to set one day already a director. Things that I see in my own films, sometimes while making them, sometimes while editing them, and I feel that, oh, this is really bounced from my life experiences into this. That happens a lot. And I feel that there is a certain visual theme in my movies. One of them is Juliet's balcony. As when I was growing up and reading books, I was fascinated by Shakespeare very early on in my life. And Romeo and Juliet and the balcony and the conversation, it stayed with me. It still stays with me. And I find that in my films, there is Sochanatha in which there is a balcony. She comes on it and he's beneath and they're looking at each other. But I always notice that in my movies, the Romeo and the Juliet that are standing on the balcony and on the street below, they don't talk to each other. They just look at each other. Whereas in the play, Romeo and Juliet are close enough to speak to each other. And I feel that this is coming from my life because in my life, the balcony and jamshed pool that I used to look at was on the second floor. So I couldn't talk, but I could see. It's not only that stories influence you, but what happens in your life influences your story. And that chain keeps going on because I feel that how I have been inspired by movies and my story in a way has been different because of the movies that I've seen and still continue to see. People that watch my films will be influenced by the stories that are in them. And the chain goes on and I feel makes the world more interesting. Yeah, very rare breed. Yeah. No phone school, no AD. No AD. That's usually the step before they're allowed to direct. Well, or at least a PAA. Yeah. You know, you typically, you do film school and then when you're done with film school or while you're in film school, you get the gift of being a production assistant. And then you really get a gift and you get to be an assistant director. Yeah. Very rare that someone just steps on says like, okay, I'm at the helm, let's go. Yeah, it's very weird, very strange. But really cool that he essentially took his life and that he was the inspiration for Tamasha. Yeah, which makes a lot of sense. I love it even more because that's a lot of artist stories. That's just, you're fascinated by... Reminds me of Scorsese and Hugo because Hugo says love letter kind of to his love for film. Yeah, it's just what they love is storytelling. And so it makes a lot of sense that why that would be such an effect that he's a Shakespeare lover. Most, I feel like most artists are. At the very least have an understanding of the foundation that all world theater stage and screen and small screen is dependent. You have human characters because of Shakespeare. He was the first person to take what had previously been the stereotypical hero, villain, protagonist, antagonist, climax, crisis, resolution. Ha ha, wee hee, the good guy wins, the bad guy loses. And then taking people and making them complex and it's like, oh, this good guy actually has some bad sides and this bad person has some good sides and oh my goodness, there's a moral conundrum here. You have to have some appreciation. So it's not a surprise. That was great, I would love to actually talk to him. Yes, for sure. What's his next project? I feel like. And I'm not surprised that Tamasha is a very autobiographical for him. Man, I love that movie. Tamasha? Yeah, I love that movie so much. Like, I cried at the end of that movie. Didn't know what's, your daughter watched that one with you two? Yes, Ashley did, she loved it. Yeah, she loved it. Untitled. I remembered India Japan film? Untitled India Japan film. Interesting. I particularly like, it's an extra serendipitous thing in that when you know the relationship between Deepika and Ranbeer and she gives him that moment. I love that, I can watch that movie again. And we went to the bar, right? We did. Yeah, we went to the bar. We did a picture on the thing, just like that. They didn't like it. They did not want us to do that. They're like, don't do that in here. What ever happened to that picture? I don't know, who has it? I don't have it. I feel like it was on mine, but I don't think I have it anymore. Yeah, right there where Ranbeer and Deepika do the, oh, they got so mad? Yeah, they were not happy with us. It was weird, no. Even though we had like eight people in there that all, or every one of us, we didn't just go in and do the picture. We were patrons, we like, very strange. And very odd. Anyways, let us know what's the next, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the next film, I should watch down.
