 And I'm pissed off that this was not nominated for an Oscar, not even for it. Yeah, I know. And these people were snubbed as actors. The other thought that went through my mind. It pisses me off. Back to our stupid reactions, the idiots. I'm Corbin Miles. That's with me as always is Rick Siegel. How do you do? You're new to our channel. Go and smash the like button, subscribe, and ring that little bell to be part of the notification squad. Various social media platforms. We highly appreciate it. Instagram, Twitter, and we have now watched our second film from India. We're amazing. I know. Be proud of us. Glad we are. But we watched the movie Pink when it came out in 2016. Correct. The first one we watched was Three Idiots. I'll link that right here. Loved it. Loved it. This is a very different film. Yeah, this one's kind of hard to say all is well. Yeah. Very different. Very different film. So what did you think of it? I thought it was fantastic. I thought the script was really freaking great. I thought the writing was just... The thing that went through my mind while I was watching it was it's like a stick of dynamite. When you light a stick of dynamite with a long fuse, it just sizzles and sizzles and you know something's coming and you know something's coming and then you get, toward the end of the courtroom, you get some explosive stuff going on in the courtroom. That the thing that struck me most about this film outside the subject matter, which it gets to... Yeah. ...was the acting. Yep. Everyone in this film was amazing. Every, especially the main old guy. And I can't pronounce any of their names. I made Butcher this as well as I can get to them. It's, I believe it's Amitabh Bachchan. Okay. And then the three main girls, especially the main girl, who is the accused, was brilliant. And I'm pissed off that this was not nominated for an Oscar. Not even for it. Yeah, I know. And these people were snubbed as actors. The other thought that went through my mind. It pisses me off. And I'll be posting this at some point on my Instagram or my Twitter. Please follow us there. Yeah. Did we say that already? Is this, besides the dynamite analogy, this sentence kept going through my head watching this thing. Some of the greatest acting you could ever see is being done by people you've never known. I know. But here in America. But we haven't yet. Us, us. I've heard these actors. Some of the best acting you've ever seen is being done by actors you've never known. It was freaking brilliant. My, I'll get into other stuff more. My biggest issue with it is I found out after, because I wanted to know, the director is male. I thought about that too. And also the three writers are all males. So there was not a single female writing this story that is told from a female's perspective. Right. And not saying a male can't tell that story. Right. You need to have, I think it's very important to have a female perspective somewhere, whether it's writing or directing. Which they very well may have had that in the collaborative process and other people who were involved with the production. And I see the other side of that coin as well. Because yes, I would have loved to have seen that this was directed by a woman or one of the screenwriters was a woman. But it is good to see that there are men who are telling this story. No doubt. I'm not saying that the film was fantastic. I loved it. If it was nominated for an Oscar, I would have put it almost at the top. That was the same year the Revenant came out. Yeah, which is amazing because that was the same year the Revenant came out and the whole Me Too times up movement was really just starting to gain some legging. Yeah. And this is as relevant now as it was. The fact that it hasn't been big in the United States makes me mad. Mad. This, if it came out now, would win the Oscar. For this year? Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. It would have been the best movie of the year. It was amazing. I think it almost broke my heart in so many places. Oh man. I don't know. Did you cry? No. Of course you didn't cry. No. No. You'd have to rip out my toenails. There's only basically two ways you can make me teary eyes. Dogs. Dogs. There you go. And military. Yeah. And so make a movie about the death of a military dog. They didn't have that. They did. And you wouldn't, you refused to go see it. Anyways, but yeah, the parts in it that just really broke your heart was, I think a lot of it was, spoilers by the way, here we go. Yeah, it's obvious. Yeah. A lot of it was cultural too. Yes. The fact that a lot of these women were looking down when they were being spoken to, broke my observation. And I don't know if that's a cultural thing, if it's still a cultural thing, or if it was just heightened, if they were just ashamed of all this stuff, but it broke my heart that they couldn't just stare people in the face as equals. And then obviously all the connotations that, I loved the points that the guy made, the lawyer made that he was like, and the first, the book. Yeah, the first book of how the women, you can't smile. Right. You can't drink. And if a woman has a drink, then she's obviously easy. You can't go out. Yeah. And you can't do all that. Just if you're a woman. Yes. Men, you can do whatever you want, because that's your birthright. Right, of course. But no, you can't have, even the guy who was accused, he was like, my sister would never drink. And all like, I know some of this is cultural and different and all that kind of stuff, but coming from America, that would just piss me the hell off. Yeah. And the fact that even, and living on their own. And it was such a great point when the woman lied and said they did take money. Oh, that was amazing. And then she was like, does it matter? Right. Even if I am a prostitute, if I say no, regardless of if we're in the middle of sex, if I say no at any point, it is done. I love that when he said that too toward the end, and I'm getting emotional right now, thinking about that ending scene, especially because with the backstory on that where we don't know, and I love that we don't know this, we don't know his backstory, we don't know if he and his wife had daughters. Yeah. Maybe they had daughters. I was wondering. I was wondering. Yeah, you know. It was nice he didn't know, but I still wanted to know. I wanted that too, but the fact that I didn't made it even more powerful because I was trying to figure out what motivates this guy to want to come out of his retirement to help these girls, and how's that linked to the loss of his wife? Because he says at one point, if a daughter says no, if a girl says no, if a wife says no, and he had a little bit of, there was a weightiness to the way he said that, that was just brilliant and powerful. And the writing again, off the charts. Fantastic writing. It was incredible. Yeah. I actually enjoyed this film, even though it's very different than more than three idiots. It's more my style of for sure. very actor driven, very dialogue driven film. And I love those. Obviously you can watch three idiots more than you can watch a film like this. Right. Yeah. Three idiots is the one. Let's grab the popcorn and grab the family and sit down and have a good time. This is, okay, everybody, time to sit down and and let's grab some t-shirt level film. Yeah. Then I'm still pissed off that it has been snubbed. It didn't even get a foreign film nod. I know. And I am flabbergasted. I know. It did not get even a foreign film. And casting no aspersions upon Alfonzo Quran and all of those stuff going on with Roma, I like this a lot more than I like Roma. Oh, yeah. But granted, not the same year. This is 2016. But I bet if we compared this to all the stuff from 2016, this would still be top notch, way at the top of the list. I would put it in the best picture nomination. Period. It was the year the Revenant came out, I believe it was 2016. Of all those films that year? This should have been in that 10 category. For sure. There was definitely more. But yeah, it just really spoke to me and then the fact that the way these women felt during this trial and that they were basically put down right by a society. I thought the judge did an amazing job. Yeah. He did really well. And so did the The Prosecuting Attorney. Prosecuting. Yeah. I mean, you hated him. That's his job that you were supposed to. He did a great job. He did a phenomenal job. But just the way when she had to speak on if she was a virgin or not, the fact that that's so shameful to talk about in, I don't know if it still is in that society. I don't know if this is a heightened or what year it was taken. But it just really broke my heart. I do know a little trivia about this is that I think it's the region, the same part of India where this takes place, if it's not, forgive me, but I know there's a police station. That made the police officers watch this film to be more sensitive to women, which is fantastic. And that I think it also had a screening at the United Nations. And I just, How do we get all that and not get an Oscar nomination? And how is it not? Not even, let's let's get past the Oscar nomination. Why is it that for you and I who are such movie lovers, actors care so much about film? Why is it that we're just finding out about this now and we're almost three years after this came out? What's wrong with this picture? Something's wrong with that picture that in Los Angeles, actors in Hollywood who love motion pictures are just now finding out about this. And I don't think it says something about us in particular, although we are freaking stupid. I think it says a lot about the film industry as a whole. And I would love to see the film industry in America open its eyes a little bit broader because I guarantee you if this kind of stuff is coming out of India, there's got to be some stuff coming from other countries that we're missing as well. Oh, yeah. And the more of the Indian stuff that I watch, the more I'm realizing some of the greatest performances you've ever seen are being done by actors you've never known. Yeah. And I'm hoping they get opportunities if they want them in Hollywood as well to come over and do different things. Yeah. I hope the at least in our Hollywood recognizes these people. Absolutely. I feel like I've seen the process, the defend the old guy with the beard. Saddle. Yeah, I think I've seen him before. I'm sure we have. He is considered the research that I did. He's considered the greatest actor of the century really for India. Yeah. And he's known all over the place. He sings as well. He's also been in politics before. Renaissance man kind of a guy. But as far as his acting, he was freaking brilliant. He's like a legend in Indian cinema. He was so small. And yeah, that's the word. So much stuff going through his head. So small. Yes. That you're like, what is, like when he was like, no further questions, no further, I was like, what are you doing? Are you, I didn't know if he was like throwing it. I didn't know. And I loved how he was doing. How creepy he was at the beginning. Oh yeah, he was really creepy. It was like, why are you just staring at these girls with your freaking mask on you creeper? Yeah. He wasn't creepy. That the trailer made it seem that he was the villain. Right. Exactly. That's what I thought from the trailer. I thought, is this going to be the guy that prosecutes these girls? And we're going to hate this guy? Yeah. But they did so much. The director thank you so much. And this is the writers as well. And probably the cinematographer, you told us so much without saying anything. So much of this was communicated. Oh yeah, when she came home and when after she got molested. Yes. And then she got into the shower. She said nothing. Yes. And it was all facial. And you just got into the shower. Yeah. It was such a brilliant scene. Absolutely. It was beautiful. And the moment where he's just sitting next to his wife. There's so many just little silent moments that said way more than they could have ever said with dialogue. And the script was still so good. This is one I'm going to watch with my family. Oh yeah. This is just. I think everybody in America should watch this. Should watch this. Absolutely. Amazing. So thank you for the recommendation. Yeah. Again. Yeah. It was a brilliant one. We're getting to home. We are going to be watching Gully Boy. In theaters. In theaters. So this will be our first India film in a theater format. Right down the street. On Thursday. Yeah. So look forward to that. Please let us know what other films we should watch and review. Yes. More like this. Yep. Let us know. And we're going after them because they're freaking awesome. And they better stay that way too. Yeah. Don't suck. Yeah. Don't send us suck.
