At the end of this part, we will talk about the movie and review it. Maybe. Now, let's finally get into this. There's a lot of choking in this film. It's a deceit. This is a deceit. Tickle, too. Yeah. Getting smaller on him. Tickle again. Welcome to the descent into madness. This is great. That's not good. He's gonna make you right into a dosa. Oh! 3PO got it shut off. I do think this all goes back to the stuff they're eating and drinking. Most likely. Indy, the torch is going out. He's gonna cut his hand. Oh, great sound. Didn't need to do that, but you did. That's not your dad. Don't worry. We'll get to know each other better. If you get to know me, even... Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. Hey! This is gonna be fun. Poor goblin. That's awesome. And again, the sound. That's awesome. The Udukai. It's her. Yeah. She's the goblin, clear? Yeah. More or not. I don't know. That's Voldemort. I don't need this. If he's not around, I'll have to kill you. And this is how it's been going on for ages. Into the flames of Mordor! Amazita, this is like the fight in the Revenant. Binding his side. It was. He's wearing the ring. Oh, he has it. What a film. Yeah. It did not go where I thought it was gonna go. Not at all. Clearly it had, obviously, the Portuguese conquered Kerala. A lot of the southern parts of India. So there was clearly something there of why they couldn't cross the river and it being the Portuguese that they got right when they got to the other side of the river. So there's a lot there that needs unpacking. Yeah. But man, what a film. It had me the whole time. Oh, it did. It had me too, as well. And I wonder with that ending, it just is the... I think there's so much in the story that is above my head, particularly the symbolism of Brahma-Yugam and the age of madness, because the first time we were introduced to that, I always go back to it, because it was my first introduction of it, was the ages that Pankaj's character talks about in Sacred Games. And I don't know how much of the film is just a metaphorical representation of the age itself. I also wonder how much of it is a... especially with the Portuguese colonizers there and how much of it is a, you know, a message about how much of the past are you going to accept or deny and how much are you going to relegate to the place of superstition versus truth? And who's the one that gets to dictate that story? Because interestingly, and I don't know if this was intended, with the Portuguese shoulders showing up, the entirety of what we just seen from their vantage point is Guy's nuts. In other words, everything that this represents is superstition and nutbags. Move on. Versus the power and the depth and the... I don't know specifically, because in the anime that I watch, Ramayana, Prabhas's rendition of that, and we've seen it a few times, there is a character that is a deceiver, wondering if that's who they were kind of playing after. That's my only knowledge of all that, is what I've seen in those films. And he was able to do stuff like that and create illusions. Just off the film itself, though. I mean, that's Oscar worthy sound design, set design, score, visuals, production design. Everything about it is superlative. And the performances are great. Yeah, Mamoudi is... Yeah, Mamoudi's just. He's so good. And then Arjun and Siddharth as well. They did a great job. So did she. She was exactly what she needed to be. Very intriguing. I'm confused by her. I am as well. I don't know what she was. At first, she was kind of luring the other guy, whoever that was, in. She was a temptress. And then she killed him. I think she is a separate... But she had sex with Mamoudi. She did. So I think she's linked but separate. She is another embodiment of a legend, a mythology that is connected to it and they have a relationship in some way. Do you think she's another goblin or kind of creature? Yeah, I think she's a separate... She's an evil spirit. And our main guy had went through another thing and this is kind of his purgatory almost. That was something he went through and he was with this other guy and he died, escaped and now he's wandered off into Mamoudi and this is just another illusion that the guy was playing on him because he said, I forgot my mother's name. So was that another full experience that he had with that entity? I don't know what she was. Clearly she had a relationship of some kind with the goblin. What the symbolism was of the... I mean, he ground up bones and rubbed them on himself and that attracted her. Well, that was... I figure what they're called. Scythe played one in a movie. We've seen them many times. They're part of Hindu... I don't know. But they cover themselves in ash. They have long hair, dreads. And ash. I thought that was that kind of symbolism of that but I don't know for sure. And then obviously symbolism that we would take just based on what we've seen before of the fact that all of this all of it including the Portuguese all of this is driven by men needing power and what havoc is wrecked in the... because the cook he wasn't intending to get them free he was intending to use him the singer to get the ring and usurp and become the one in power it was never about liberating them from the goblin. It was about I want to be the head and give in to the ring of power per se. The goblin just enjoyed watching the men fight over it didn't interfere just was watching it enjoying every second of it and then now I'm guessing he's just going to continue doing what he has been doing because now he's he took the form of the reflection shot and the look in the camera basically says doesn't matter whose comes here and who doesn't come here all of this stuff was here before you and it's going to be here after you're gone and I'm sure there's a ton we just don't get or misinterpret but it's it's as thick and heavy I think with symbolism as Rorschach but just not as evident at least our mindset and it is definitely at its core it's kind of a haunted house movie yeah definitely a thrill that keeps you the suspense going the entire time great performances very well directed in shot Christo Xavier did a magnificent score yes Shinad Jalal cinematography production the whole production design team Jyoti Shankar and then sound design sound design sound design just off the charts great sound design and visual effects and makeup always everything was superlative nice big sound crew I don't know I mean the primary credit on IMDB for the sound designer primary is Jaya Devan Chakradath but there's a Dolby Atmos engineer that was involved another sound there's several sound mixers associate sound designer just the sound design is as good as it gets the entire sound design team was Oscar level probably the best Indian film of the year so far I think if I'm forgetting no this is at the top forgetting anything but man yeah definitely gives you a lot to think about easily could have you could watch it again and catch a bunch of stuff yeah that you didn't catch the first time yeah and what they're doing and it's just the tension just stayed there the whole time never let up kept you engaged the entire time you were constantly wanting to know what's going on what's behind that door what's in that food what's just and so discomforting all the time yeah clearly because I didn't think my theory was too far off of kind of like a purgatory hell kind of thing but then the Portuguese thing really threw me maybe that is the hell the colonization of it all yeah I'd like to know the primary things what I had said is I sense that the whole Portuguese presence is just another example of colonization completely taking and first I thought it was right and then writing off this is I mean we just we just sat through almost two and a half hours of this rich overwhelmingly incredibly incredible story of mythology and superstition and spiritism and religion and the demonic and when reality and then it's just in one split second just he was a mad man move on yeah they definitely shot it down pretty exactly literally shot it down literally just took everything that we were just exposed to of history and culture and just went let it go down the river I love a good film that makes you contemplate and keep thinking I want to watch this with Andrani I'd love to know some things that she'll see that I would never see definitely is one of those films just like Rorschach that you'd like to watch with a bunch of people and get everybody's kind of take the biggest the biggest take I would want to get her from Molly Ali's yeah I suspect that's the richest frame of reference that you would get that would they'd be able to explain so many things that we miss the history of the Portuguese in that area but what's great is that irrespective of that you could watch this this could be somebody's first Indian film and I think it would intrigue them so much that it would make them want to know more and go what was all of that about I want to know what the heck all of that was about I've said many times that if they're and it's happening there's one industry that could take horror by the balls and they are it's might be I mean it's still not like pure pure horror in terms of like scares every 5 seconds but it is horror it's horror yeah it had a couple of jump scares it ends in the in the horror for sure and it's one of the better I mean when I've told you how many times 7 out of 10 times you go to watch a horror film and you're watching it and you go great so when you get a gem it's a keeper and this is a keeper if not the best horror we've seen very tombad vibes as well yeah I think that one almost had if it was a goblin or a witch or something from what I remember right yeah I haven't seen that since the first year been a while I'd like to revisit that it's been a long time it's been 2019 I think that was the first year yeah that was a good one this was this was this was very good fine I'm glad we finally got to see it me too obviously people been asking and we wanted to see it in theaters but you know Maliella films just
