 There is an answer to the AI question. Four. I wish I had come up with it, but I was talking again with my friend, Michael, the director, who lives in New Jersey. We were talking about the SAG agreement and AI protections and things of that nature. And I showed him, you know, I told him we had seen the film where Clint Eastwood's likeness was used. And he said, and he's right, what actors are gonna need to do is trademark their likeness. Yeah, which is ridiculous that you'd have to do that. But that is the way to protect it. It's not an easy do, but if you trademark your likeness, the first person to do it was a model. She did it in like 2019. You can now trademark your likeness. Therefore, if someone were to use it without your permission, contract smontract. The trademark would supersede that. Hold on, gonna text my step dad. He's out trademarking? Well, he's a paralegal for a trademark law firm. And he's, he has years and years and years and years of... My understanding is it's incredibly difficult to prove the justification for such a trademark. It's much easier to trademark a logo, something in writing, but you can trademark your face, your persona, your image. And if you could do that, wouldn't matter what contracts are done because you particularly would be protected from any stealing of your image, irrespective of the medium. See what my step dad says. Yeah. Trademarks. Juice! Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Directs of Corbin. I'm Rick! You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Juice, content, falls out of your butt. Ooh. Just like that. Today we got a informational video about Sam Balher, Balher. Sam Balher? The guy that Vicky's playing in an upcoming film. Gotcha, yes. And so this is gonna go over some, the actual real life information about his life. Awesome. A little more informed about, because you guys might know who this man is, obviously, we're just learning from this film. Correct. Seems like a pretty influential soldier, though. My kids are right outside our filming door. So if you hear, like, playing, that's what that is. It was so cute when I walked in. Leland always greets me. It makes my heart really happy and a little one smile. But first thing he did is he spread his arms and said, look, I'm not to, by the way. He said, look not to, it's Christmas. The reason he's not to is because when we were filming the not to intro, he heard that song a lot when we were doing it. And so he associates that song with seeing Rick. Yes. He started calling him a not to. Which is funny. I love it. Here we go. I'll take it. I'm not to. Normal minister, the soldiers don't want normal minister. They want to win and I want to win. Sam Manik show. Wow, I thought we'd get a little more information. It was okay. Sam Manik show, also known as Sam Bahadur, had a military career spanning four glorious decades. Go ahead. You just say, go ahead. Come on, that's it. At the height of tensions between India and Pakistan, before the 1971 war, legend goes that just before the 1970 war began, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi asked the chief if he was ready. And he replied, I'm always ready, sweetie. But there was a time when he wasn't. And he means no words, conveying that to the prime minister. Sam, do you want to do something? What do you think? You can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. The difference between ability and nature. It apparently looks like Vicky. In April 1971, when refugees started pouring into India's border states from eastern Pakistan, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi called for a cabinet meeting and also summoned army chief Manik show. And asked about what the army was doing to save east Pakistan from the west. Manik show said, nothing. It's got nothing to do with me. You didn't consult me when you allowed the BSF, the CRPF and RAW to encourage the Pakistanis to revolt. Now that you are in trouble, you come to me. Indira Gandhi at the very moment asked Manik show to enter Pakistan and also asked if Manik show and the army is prepared. It is, he replied, I'm certainly not. And then he explained the gravity of the situation. Soon the rains would flood the rivers of eastern Pakistan and my tanks and guns would get popped down. The Chinese would attack India in 1962 could make a southern thrust through Chumbhi Valley and march across North Bengal. That would cut off India's northeast. Instead of Pakistan, it would be India that gets cut into two. My armored division is supposed to have 189 tanks operational, but only 11 are fit to fight. Hence, I need a lot more and new weapons. The grim Prime Minister with her teeth clenched to plight, the cabinet will meet again at four o'clock. As the minister started to leave, the prime minister asked the chief to stay back. Sam Manik show thought that she might ask for his resignation. So he said resignation on grounds of health, mental or physical. But Indra Gandhi knew that what Sam told her is all but true. Sam then told her the big plan. I'll be ready for war by November, by which time the rains would have stopped, the rivers would have receded and snow on the mountains would block Chinese. After hearing all this, she agreed with Sam and seven months later on December 3rd, India went to war with Pakistan. On December 16th, Pakistan Army surrendered. The wars were more than 90,000 Pakistani soldiers taken prisoners of war and resulted in the birth of Bangladesh as the nation, another legend states, an instance which happened just before the war. There were protests happening in East Pakistan and the West was crushing the protests with bullets. The Pakistan Army was shooting people, shooting homes, burning shops and raping women. To this Indra Gandhi summoned Sam Manik show to the ministry and asked if he could do something. To this Sam said, no prime minister, I had been requesting permission to raise the force of Badmash's. You have not given me permission. Gravity of the words shocked all. Later Sam got permission to raise the force of Badmash's. Badmash's war has formed term for guerrilla group of East Pakistanis who would weaken Pakistani defences. Sam Manik show is one of the most celebrated generals of Indian Army and continues to inspire generations of Indians. With his folklore being talked about in date, it's difficult to sum up his achievements in a few minutes. He's also the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the five-star rank of Green Marshall in 1973. Later the rank of Green Marshall was given to K.M. Kharyapa on January 15, 1986 making it the second recipient. Sam Manik show is indeed a legend and an unforgettable one. After today, no officer or young man will be able to see his post without my written order. And I will never give that order. The Indian Army. So that was more about that particular event. It seems like the... Maybe that's the one that's in the mood. Maybe that's the one. Yeah, I was wondering what part of his life they're highlighting and it seems that that's what they're highlighting based on the age that Vicki seems to be... Yep, war. Yeah. Which obviously is a very different... Which would make sense. That would make sense to cover that. I'd be very interested to know a lot of, if you guys know him better, how's Vicki's performance looking? How's his like mannerisms? How's his voice? Right. It wouldn't shock me if he's doing a brilliant job in terms of, because he's such a brilliant actor, he'd probably want to... But it's also sometimes the director doesn't want you to do a direct memory either. Yeah, yeah. Right. There's a lot of different factors that could go into, or if you just want to do it for entertainment values like Ridley Scott. Yeah. You heard about the word on the street from Napoleon? No, good bad. Not good. Yeah. It doesn't surprise me. The trailer didn't really float my boat and I heard straight from Ridley in an interview with Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, I don't remember, but he had said that two weeks before shooting, Joaquin came to him and said, I don't know what the hell I'm doing. And so they talked and Ridley says he got him on the page. But that's never a good sign when an actor of the caliber of Joaquin Phoenix is lost two weeks before your first shooting date. And I've heard the movie gets bogged down with some of the larger action sequences versus just letting Joaquin, and I forgot the actress who plays opposite him. But there you go. It looks good though. I'd be interested to know a little more about the man's life. Yeah. Who do you think is the most played character in Indian cinema ever? Like who real person has been played the most? My guess out, okay, but I don't know if I can include him. My guess it would be some God. Yeah, aside from that. Aside from like deities, right? Right. Because I think that would be the answer actually. It's either gonna be Gandhi or... Indira. Indira Gandhi. Right. Mahatma or Indira. I think it would be one of those two. Bose is in there quite a bit. Yeah, he is. But I think you're right. I think it's one of those two and someone's got that stat somewhere and that would not surprise me if those are the characters that are most often portrayed whether they're telling a true story about them or they're telling a story where they just put them in as a character in the story itself. Yeah, I think it's pretty accurate. Let us know if you think it's somebody else. But that would be my guess. Do you remember the release date for this? Because I don't. It's the first. It's clashing with... It's one of the... It's clashing with animal. Okay. So like, I think the 30th for us... Right, so it's doing this in the first. Okay. So it comes out. All right. And neither has been, I mean, animal's not getting pushed. And it's gonna be a rough one to go up against just because that's a lot more of a commercial appeal. But also if this has patriotism aspects to it, then I could see this having a... Which is an interesting choice. I would think as a distributor and I don't know why they wouldn't do this that you would do it either on Republic Day or there's two times of the year that are really high level. It might be a holiday weekend as well though. Yeah, it could be. I don't know, because India has a bunch of holidays. Sure. I can't keep up with all of them. And they also have to take into consideration other films that are on his slate, Vickie's that are gonna have release dates. So I just know, we know the caliber of actor he is. And the director is a good director. Director of Rossi, director of Mozil and I just saw. Which makes sense. I think that's our first exposure to Vickie. Rossi? I think that's the first time we ever saw him in something. I think that predate it was. I think it predates Uri. She did that one as well. The acid throwing of Topeka, which was a good film. Very well made. Both of those films were very well made. And then we also saw Iravar. No, Talvar, sorry. I thought we were gonna say Iravar. The Irfan one. She likes doing real stories, it seems like. All these are based off. Talvar is the one where he plays the guy investigating the murder in the house. Yeah, that was a good one as well. She likes doing real stories from the looks of it. And all those are good films. So my expectation, the only question would be is this a good film or a great film? Right. That's what I would anticipate. Cause Rossi, I would say it would be between good and great. I think Chepak was good. The Topeka one, Talvar, same thing, good. Rossi would probably be my favorite of all of those. Yeah, they're all very good. And I would say Rossi is my favorite. Rossi would be the best, then Talvar, then Chepak, I think. She was a performer in Drisham. I don't think we've seen anything else of hers. No. I'd love to see before we see the film, I don't know if that'll happen. I would love to see some actual archival footage of the physicality and the voice of the man. My next shot. To just have an idea of who he's portraying. But also it would depend on the age as well. True. Like if you saw a current space, it's gonna be, his voice is gonna be different, his looks gonna be different. Right. It would have to be from this particular time for him. And that's why so many people who knew and have seen so much footage of Elvis appreciated Elvis because he covered his whole lifespan and nailed it. So, yeah. Let us know if you're excited for this film and anything else we need to know about the man down below. Just.
