 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Yeah, yeah, 12, 12 nights nights of, of, of, of, of of of of a, of, a bokchon. Hey, welcome back to our stupid reaction units, I'm Corbin. On the first night of bokchon my true love gave to me, show lay to watchin', and the rule number one you see. Nice, thank you, I'm a small baby. And today- We should do that at Christmas time, 12 days of bokchon. 12 days of bokchon. When you watch a lot more bokchon though. Yeah, just do 12 straight days of Bok Chun. Yeah, coming to you soon. 12 days of Bok Chun. 12 days of Bok Chun. But yes, we are at Contuna Mama Talk Bok Chun thing. Hey, you've seen something. I'm not Bok Chun. I have not. Something I have seen and you have not. Oh, I know what this is from. This is going to be the scene from The Great Gatsby. Ah, yeah. Yeah, it is. I have never seen this. I wasn't interested in seeing that film, honestly. When I saw it, it just didn't. It was at the point in Leo's career where I still didn't like Leonardo DiCaprio, because he was still doing films that I wasn't really. Right, which I did. I went and saw it. I went and saw it because it was Leo. And I didn't hear good things about that film, really. I liked it. But I have heard a man named Ahmed Bok Chun. Yeah, he's in this film. At the time, it's another one of those serendipitous things where I just thought, oh, they hired a really good actor in this scene, who I've never seen before, really like him. And that was about it for me. Really? And it's just another one of those things where India was a part of my life way before I even realized India was there. Yeah, because a ton of people saw this, because Leo and a bunch of stars. Yeah, I remember this. He's wearing a hat. But let's just get into it, because I haven't seen it. So then we can talk about it. Even Gatsby could have been. There he is. Oh! Ah! My, my. Whoa. Smouth of good. You. Mr. Cowan is my good friend, Mr. My Old Shot. A wonderful pleasure, Mr. Cowan. My pleasure. How much? How much? I see. Yes, Mr. Gatsby's always talking about you. Shall we do it? Come. Let's go. So what's he supposed to be? A big wig, like gang. Gang, gotcha, guy. There's the hat. What? J.C. Clay. Oh! How'd you go? We'll talk about that later. High balls, Mr. Gatsby. High balls, it is. All right. You see these faces? He's the next heavyweight champion. Everyone respects you. Come on. Hey, hey! You're under arrest! Careful now, you're turning into a real jazz house commissioner. That's the commissioner back there. He fits in the world really well. Now I'm a senator. What are the lobsters? Decorated with truffles and fine herbs. No prohibition from a coalition. How is the bond business, Mr. Carrowing? Fine, thank you. I understand you're looking for a business connection. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This isn't the man mine. Remember, this is the friend that I told you about. Oh, I didn't tell you about him. I had a wrong man. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make that call. Well, gentlemen, from one of the finest families in the Midwest, sadly or dead now, when I first made the pleasure of Mr. Gatsby's acquaintance just after the war, well, I knew I'd discovered a man of fine breed, of all, you know, suction, metals, and, hey, an Oxford man. You know what, sweetie? Yes, I've heard of it. Then you would know that when it comes to married women, a man like this can be trusted. With a friend, with someone like you, he never so much as look at your wife. I'm not married. But you work on Wall Street, right? Yes. Look at that, my type, and find a specimen of human moral. Gentlemen? Everything all right? Yes. Yes. We were just talking about other people's wives. Other people's wives. Yes. Well, my work here is done. I'm going to leave you gentlemen to talk about your spouse and your women. Other people's wives. Hello, ladies. Who is he anyhow? An actor? Myer. No. He's a gambler. He's the man who fixed the 1919 World Series. Fixed it. Fixed it. How do you manage that? I saw the opportunity, I suppose. He's a very smart man. He's got a hundred jobs to pun it. Cops don't pun it. That ought to be a grip. Interesting. Also, Tobi Mubar does not have the privilege of acting alongside Abhantak Bachchan. That's offensive to me. It's offensive to me. It hurts bad, doesn't it? Tobi King Maguire was acting alongside Abhantak Bachchan. And it upsets me to my core. I know. That man is terrible. I do think I would be shocked if Leo wasn't fully aware of who he was on set with for two reasons. He might have been told. I don't know. You don't think so? I think he would have known coming in for two reasons. One, Leo's loved films since he was a little kid. But I think because of his relationship with Martin Scorsese, which was pre-this, it wouldn't surprise me that they talked... Why wouldn't you talk film and shot with Martin Scorsese? At some point, there had to have been a conversation about that. I could imagine Marty found out that he was doing the film and Big B was on set and Marty wouldn't know exactly who that was. I would be shocked. Leo, I think he might not have even known on the day and then realized who he was going to be working with that day and was told by everybody, we have this legend from Indian cinema coming. It may have been that soon. So he wasn't supposed to be Indian in this? No. He was supposed to be Jewish. I don't know what his ethnicity was supposed to be. He was Superstar Abhantak Bachchan as a flamboyant Jewish gambler. Well, did you notice the work? That's why I said it at one point. I went, wow, did you notice the work he did on his accent? Yeah, he did. He did a strong work on his accent. And I actually enjoyed it because it was obviously, he was purposely being very quirky, which I enjoyed. Very unusual. And so that was nice to see also that he wasn't just put in, I'm not sure he would ever do this, a film where he's just the Indian. Yeah, I would hope not. Just one of those convenience stores. No, but what you saw there is pretty much all he really does in the film. Gotcha. So for a legend to do that small of a role. He was overshadowing everybody in the scene. Of course he was. I don't know what you thought about it when you saw it. When I saw it, I loved him and I thought, wow, really, I thought, who's that guy? How have I not heard about this? Do you think it was about those actors that you've probably seen but you just don't know his name? Well, I couldn't recognize him. Yeah, I couldn't recognize him when I thought this guy's obviously too good to be just somebody they just hired. Who is this guy? And I felt clearly of the two. Leo can hold his gaze and interact with him. My least favorite thing about Greg Gatsby was Toby McGuire. It was hard to watch him. My favorite thing about the planet is Toby McGuire. I don't feel that way, but I do. He's awful. He's one of the actors that I have a hard time getting past when I'm watching him. I know I'm watching Toby McGuire acting, whereas I can get lost. I know I'm watching Leo, but I love watching Leo. I love watching Leo act. Yeah, so that was really interesting. I had no idea at the time who I was watching. Yeah, that's just crazy. But I would remember him vividly. I remember thinking, wow, that guy's good. Understatement of the year. And it was also kind of strange to me to see him. Not because he's bad at it, just because I'm not used to it. Seeing him speak in English the whole time. Not that I'm saying he was bad or anything. I'm used to hearing him talk in Hindi. I know it was. It was strange. That just shows you how much. Especially since he had pretty much removed most of his accent. Yeah, he did. He had none of his outside of his deep baritone voice. It wasn't because we know big V's voice. Right. We've heard him speak in English. Yeah. And he like most of the Indian actors has a very strong accent. Yeah. And it was really interesting because like that's a good description. He was very flamboyant. He was very different and something that we hadn't seen yet. Yeah. I think he plays at least now in his older self. You know, very eloquent or just big personality. He was a big person. It's hard to hide big V's persona. It was virtually impossible. On screen he just has such a presence about him that he can't knock. Yeah. I really felt in that scene that I could feel bless his heart. I could feel Toby McGuire wilting under the gaze of Amitabh Bachchan. And he has a gaze. He does. Just the look of him just going. Yeah. There's a weight to his presence that very few. It's because of who he is. You know how good he is. Yeah. People who don't have that kind of gravitas and their persona just wilt under it. I would like to see if there's like different videos of Indians acting in American cinema that we don't know. I know we know a few. I'm assuming about Irfan and Taboo. Like Pie and stuff like that. But other films. I still haven't seen like Pie. That's that. But if there's other ones I would like to see it and I would love, as you know, I would love for some actors from over there to break them old and be stars over here. Yes. Not little tiny Indian supporting parts. Yes. That's not what I want. Not them to be over here just for the sake of being over here. Well, the encouraging thing is we've now had with the past couple of years, we're seeing a change and I hope it continues in the awards seasons of films that are not English speaking becoming the forefront of awards conversations that happen with Roma. And it's now happening with Parasite. And I hope this happens every year now and it just increases where the Academy goes beyond looking and doesn't just consider something a foreign film because they did it now with Roma and Parasite. They don't consider them just foreign film categories. They're getting nominated for several things, screenwriting, other things. And what was said at the Globes by the director of Parasite, his statement of if you can get past that one inch barrier of the subtitles, you'll open yourself up to a whole new world of film. He was talking to Americans. He was talking to Americans. Since we are so isolated in the world, we have Mexico and then you have another basically English speaking country. Correct. And then nothing else. And then that's it. And so since we're not exposed even though tons of people are here, everybody speaks English basically. And so you're not forced to learn. Not even encouraged. Yeah. It's very sad. It's very sad. The rest of the world, they learn their mother tongue and then they learn English and maybe one or two other languages sometimes depending on where they live and their exposure. They always like, for example, the French has have a thriving decades long. The Italians, the amount of impact they've made on cinema, but they also watch American films and many French speaking people will watch American films with American subtitles. So watching subtitles is pretty customary for most people except Americans. And I remember when the Passion of the Christ came out, everybody was freaking out that Gibson was doing something in a dead language and forcing people to watch subtitles. That's one of the things I have that I understand why Disney's doing it. But whenever I see the Mulan trailer, which I like, it's just weird to me to see that and not be in Chinese. I agree. It's just strange to me. I would have loved that. I understand why they do it. They want kids to see it because they're still Disney. They're a kids company. Wouldn't that have been so cool to encourage kids to see it and encourage them to read subtitles and hear Chinese? That would have been so cool. But you're also going to not get the money which is there. Massive risk. That's their thing. Massive risk. Adults will watch subtitles. Kids, they won't. That's a massive risk, but it would have been a beautiful one. Have the Chinese made a version of the Mulan story? I'm sure they have. Probably. They don't like the... No, because we have westernized it.
