 This past week I saw the movie volleyball and sorry and Mohan Lee and his own his own fans and fans of the director have been Rebellion against it rebellion. I tell you because it was kind of miss mis-marketed You know expectations were high and this was a this was definitely a curveball to those fans And so there has been a lot of negativity Which I'm likening to when you have that favorite artist with that favorite director They come up with something new, you know, and you're just like what it's like when Prince did purple rain He rode the hype for years and everyone's waiting for his next drop around the world in a day and people are like What is this? People hated that with that album when it came out, of course over the years. It's been amazing. So I get a sense. That's what's going on with this film and I did a review and it's gotten thousands and thousands of a Reactions in the comments that we're getting from you guys is that You know, people are just being unjust to this. It's not fair da-da-da-da-da Listen this film Volleybond is a cinematic bonk bonker piece. It is bonker pieces masterpiece bonkers. I Absolutely love it. It's it's something you got to see on the big screen. It's so different. It's so strange It's so weird. So What I wanted to do Was bring up a Oh I wanted to bring up a A critic from India and this guy I followed this guy this guy is fantastic He kind of breaks down. What's what what this movie is and what it's all about And I think it's pretty good The the fact that the lead star of this movie put this up. It's interesting. It's interesting So let's let's check it out and that shakes the roots of his existence and also Leban is not a regular film about a warrior like say we're a vadak and Viragata This is not a naturalistic movie with say well-written characters and so forth. It is a hallucinatory epic its style Stands and also Leban is not a warrior like say can I get a pause please Jesus No Get it there. He says it's a hallucinary Epic 100% it's not a nationalistic movie like mate like a high high end like like RRR It's not your you know your your ordinary action film So he's right on the money that this movie is such a mushroom trip It's so vivid so cinematic that you just I'm just like you know what I'm throwing I'm throwing my Throwing it out. You know my mind anything. I want I'm just I'm just gonna watch You know what I mean, brother? Yeah, no it feels feels like it's more of a like a fear and loading and you know type of Ride where you're kind of going. Okay. This is what it's gonna be and and you're gonna have to embrace it or you know Well, okay, you use Terry Gilliam and the thing is is that it's not perverse like a fear and loading There's nothing perverse about it. It's good and evil but But cinematically you're on point It's as if Terry Gilliam was stuck in the 70s with Aang Lee and they're trying to do a Bruce Lee film That's a Western, but then they're all high on shrooms. That's how this movie is. It's wild man It's why and it's got action. It's got it's got Incredible it's an incredible story. The story is actually really simple It's this man going from region to region being What do you call it? Being a like an Avenger or something or no no people try to call him out and they want to fight him Okay, kind of like a tough guy He beats everyone up man. Yeah, but because he's the world's greatest warrior, but he's he's very you know He he comes from a very humble in a humble way, but the this actor has been around since like the 90s He's like a he's like a he likes it. He he's viejo. He's an older man, but he's perfect in this role This man's eyes this man's eyes Mohan Lee this man's eyes It does all the acting not not this critic, but the Mohan Lee maybe and get a photo of him and So, uh, yeah, let's let's listen to this guy a little bit more One is not a regular film about a warrior like say we're a vadak and Viragata This is not a naturalistic movie with say well-written characters and so forth It is a hallucinatory epic its style is part of its very substance and in the last half hour or so Lijo does something fantastic and fantastical so far We have been watching a mass movie based on physical challenges and now Valibhan is faced with an Emotional challenge that shakes the roots of his existence and also sets up the sequel. I like the deliberate pacing which makes us feel He's absolutely right on the money Most of this film and it's almost three hours long Most of this film is like him and his ragtag band go to a region kick-ass go to another region kick-ass He kind of flirts. He kind of falls in love. They eat a lot. They're funny with each other It's kind of like that very false stave in and Henry the eight You know Henry the eight kind of like feel where they're just going around the countryside frolicking But then you know they they they stand up for the little people it gets a little heavy towards the end But then I like the last half hour There's a total total Horrific twist that's has to has to do with their relationships Their relationships And it's a setup for part two Man, it is it is it is really wild. It is really wild This is cinema. This is cinema. This is how you do it guys. This is how you do it That we're being transported to a timeless time This gives the film the space to hold madhu nila content shots and leisure scoriography for a long time There is a stunning dissolve effect where slaves running out of prison look like ghosts and all this Artifices heightened by the deliberate use of colors like a correct So one of the last places that he liberates is a portuguese colony And I told rome because I'm like hun you talk about um you talk about um Uh bingo card. I did not have it on my bingo card that I was going to go to an indian movie and hear portuguese It's a portuguese colony may enslave like you know the the local indians there and Uh, they're they're hysterical. They're like overhyped kind of like hyper reality like people who they are And uh, but he's absolutely right there's a there's a there's a point where uh The slaves are released from their bounce from their from their prison and you see they're they're all they're You can see through them as they're coming out Oh, wow It is dope. It is the it is it is a very it is a ride guided in it In it's a it's a long ride, but it's very worth it especially into cinema. Yeah, the movie's called uh, maliki kotae valiban I'm just calling it valiban Red in a bloody battle in a portuguese colony I think and yellow in an episode with masks a kotae valiban a lot But unlike nanpagal neritham i come i'm not going to label this an instant classic or a masterpiece or any such thing I'm just going to call it a quintessential leisure joe's peliceri film There you go, then and he's exactly right. You know, um from what i'm getting from Are hundreds of commenters and now hundreds of new subscribers Is that It is it is It is just a it's it's this directors He's going off again. Like this director does very unique cinematic movies And they're they're huge fans of his so yeah, I mean, I think that's cool I think that's great. I think it's fantastic You know, uh, but yeah, there's nothing perverse about this film guys, you know, it's not a western film Like western civilization and western, you know, it is it is a deeply A certain part of india and they use The western as a kind of like this like a long ongoing Genre but that being said there's so many genres that they throw in there It's truly a unique film. Check out my review. Uh, that would be fantastic
