Yeah, we didn't get to see a lot of new films last year Yeah, when it's a new film We want to see it as quick as we can so that we can recommend it and it can be supported or tell you Don't go see it because it's garbage and it doesn't deserve your money And we did get a lot of recommendations when we did the trailer reaction that said this is fantastic Go watch it. Yeah, and we love the trailer, but it's the great Indian kitchen Directed by Geo baby. Mm-hmm written by Geo baby. Mm-hmm and then starring Namisha Sajayan and Suraj I will mispronounce your name forgive me, sir Ventura mood who we've seen in one other film. It's the one with Fahat facility where they steal her neck her necklace But it's a long title and I can never remember it. He's the husband of but since this is new We will just do a small little non spoiler review. Yes Just because that's with new stuff a lot of you haven't seen it and I'm assuming a lot of you haven't seen this film so Rick well with a new movie that we're not gonna spoil for you The bottom line is should you should you see it? Should you not see it? You should see it go watch this movie now stop stop watching this you should go watch it stop watching this now all of you And go watch it. That is our small spoiler review It's a fantastic piece of cinema Which is a hint that we liked it because if we didn't like it we would tell you don't waste your time Yeah, so I think every single person in the world, but especially every single Indian should see this film Yeah, I think it's it's something everyone up to parts Yeah, I think it's a a film that everybody around the world including Americans can relate to of course But I think it's especially Indian and I think it's very important for Indians to see this film Yeah, not because they're exactly like what's going on in this film But they might know somebody or the little pieces of their life might relate to and might open their eyes I don't know. I'm hoping yeah Go watch this film right now. Do not go any further if you haven't seen this film I think you can watch on Neo What is the knee knee knee something knee something platform? We're not familiar with yeah, but it's like two bucks Yeah, I don't know what that is in Ruby's there knee stream. Maybe knee stream. I think that's right So go watch it I Think it should be a heavily contender for the Oscars next year for India I Don't disagree Okay, now that you're gone all of you have nothing who watched it. Yeah, and you've come back. We can talk about content Your initial thoughts of the spoiler review. Well, I have a lot. I wrote a lot I didn't do a particular paragraph, but I A lot of times what I'm watching I will either write or I'll speak like if I have my AirPods And I'll talk to the phone and I'll just say something while I'm watching the film and there were so many times I'm sure you're the same way where I got so angry Which is the point. I got so mad so many times of the injustices that were being placed upon this this woman and In the name of you fill in the blank and we will in a second From as far as the technical aspects are concerned It was exactly what I thought from the trailer and I'm glad I was watching it with the air AirPods in because I could hear the little nuances I actually Was a bit frustrated at first with how long it took us to get into the story We were before you realize what the story was we're 40 minutes in and I'm like, okay if if what I'm what we're supposed to get is the ready for this word Mundanity Which means the mundane if we're supposed to be regimented into the mundane of this or this is going to be what you think It is ultimately the movie itself is a metaphor about the great Indian kitchen, but the I really at first I thought I was gonna have to review say I don't know that I would have had the first 40 minutes be as long as it was Until we get into the story But then we got another story and I understood why the first 40 minutes was the way that it was it was designed to get you as closely as you could to be as Locked into the machinations of this prison that she was locked into One of the things I wrote down at the bottom here was this that the title for me is a metaphor of all of the constraints placed upon women in The place they're expected to be mm-hmm barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen is the proverbial You know and that all of these women's these constraints are placed upon them because of misogynistic Patriarchy and anti-feministic superstitions and traditions and this great facade is that the magnificent culinary works created They're done behind the scenes and it's done at the expense of the feminine psyche and the freedom of the woman Mm-hmm, and that for me is the whole message of the film Yeah, I actually didn't have a problem with the first 40 minutes in terms of I think someone by incredibly fast The entire time I know what you're I know what you're referring to so I know what people would feel that way I didn't feel long. Yeah, it just felt like we didn't get to the story Which was the story enough, but that was the point. That was the point But this film I love this film. I love this film. I think it's one of the best films Which is incredible because this is one of his first films. It's he's not a yeah He has like two other credits besides this well just like parched. Yeah. Yeah, so fantastic But he did his film has so much to say and it starts right off the bat. Obviously after all of its thanks It thanks science first and foremost, which is fantastic Yeah, but then there's so much to say about obviously the patriarchy how women are treated and and and the societal norms that not only men put on but women Agree to those norms. Yes, and accept as reality that that is their reality From this traditional family and like what I was saying in the beginning about Every Indian should see this even if I'm not saying all Indians fall into this at all But you probably know somebody in your family or you might even fall into some of these categories that opens your eyes like one of the best parts was when she left finally which Made me verbally cheer for her. Yes, that she did that She went to her parents house and they were supposed to be this more modern Right and then the brother came then I'm assuming was the brother and he asked the mom to get him water Right. He was standing up. Right. It could have easily fucking gotten it. Oh god. Sorry. This film makes me Many many times so I was so happy with her that she like Exploded in that moment. Yes, like you are no different than what I just went through I actually thought she was gonna kill herself. That's what I did too. Yeah, but I thought it was a great ending that she She empowered herself. Yeah, I'm not gonna thank you for that more and then also once again the writing and directing by Joe Geo baby and everybody else who cooked it because I love that in the credits. Yeah, yeah did a fantastic job because After all this you think they would learn a lesson But then you see him with his new wife and he left the cup for her to clean himself And I bet didn't call the goddamn plumber yet. No. Oh Yeah, this film had of like it's hard to get emotional visceral reactions out of me very it got it out of me Yeah, not I'm not saying I cried. I didn't I believe my wife did But I got very mad the point this same way when in America We have a lot of films about race relations and especially old-school like when Back in the day or even now when people use the law or religion to treat black people a certain way Yeah, those films draw that same feeling out of me and this drew that feeling out of me multiple times Like if you haven't seen clue, there's a line and she's touch. She's so angry. She's like Yeah, that's how I felt during this whole film until the very end when I was cheering I was hoping like she was gonna poison him, but she just gave him the gross disgusting water, which was amazing Yeah, and I loved it and she pursued her dreams. She moved on and those dancers at the end were great Dancers were great. Yeah, I it was one of the issues that's covered in this and I wrote down many times, you know, I I'd Treating women the way she was being treated because they're on their period is extraordinarily infuriating bar bearer. Also, there's nothing cleaner than a woman going through a menstrual cycle Yeah, body things got damn self. Let's let's let's talk about this because I have long had a very big Infuriating frustration over this issue and I'm not an expert in World religions. Okay, what I'm about to say is told from a place of extra of deep ignorance of some other world religions I think I'm better than the average bear in that in this regard I can tell you I am an expert when it comes to Christianity worldview Occultism and New Ageism because I've had personal experience in those things and I have spent the most time study work and actually leadership in the world of the Judeo-Christian worldview but my best understanding that I've ever found I don't know Any belief system other than atheists and believe it or not Seekism that does not look at a woman's menstrual cycle is something bad. Yeah Seekism specifically says I Looked at him was reading some beautiful things about the fact that they find whether a person's clothes or blood are stained Anything there's nothing whatsoever to make a tribute pollution or uncleanness spiritually or physically to a woman in seekism And and that that's again. I'm not saying I am the the end. I'll be all in that regard, but I do know I've never understood why this natural function of a woman's body that I actually find to be amazing Not dirty in any way shape or form to be Treated like It's unclean unclean. Well and that gets into the other issue and I posted this on my I tweeted this and I Instagram and said if you're seeing this that's related to our review and it has to do with the fact that a lot of the beliefs are Based on things that are superstition. They're not just religious beliefs because superstition is a belief that's maintained Despite evidence to the contrary that is a superstition if you have a belief that's maintained despite evidence to the contrary That that can be relegated into the world of superstition and to take away the human rights of another person Because of a super superstitious belief is about as mind-numbingly Enraging for me as anything I could imagine absolutely and this film had so much to say not only about obviously the patriarchy and women's old Religion and yes in other aspects that that If if whatever you believes infringes upon the rights of somebody else That is wrong. I don't care what it is whether it's religion politics. Yes, or this yeah, or this I love the way it was filmed and I want to get here's two things. There's the first one, right? Then they're laying in bed and he says I have to be Abstinent for this festival period or this this time right and she says can I can I say something without you getting mad? He says what is it and then she says? If you just it hurts when we do that if you just did some foreplay it's clearly he didn't warm her up He doesn't give a shit. Yeah. Yeah at all and also then it becomes rape It it is she is not consenting at that point just because she doesn't say no doesn't mean it's a consent Right, you can't tell the difference. You're a rapist. It's pretty simple to tell that difference and if okay Just like when she brought up Playfully yeah at the at the restaurant. Oh, so you disgusting so you you have manners when we eat out I would slap the shit out of him if you did that at a table And and he he gets you know his ego gets hurt because she brought up a truth Yeah, and here's something about that guys Sadly and a lot of what we believe there are lies And if you're not willing to look at your belief and see if there's a lie in it You I can't comprehend that because I mean I you may know this but the word belief has the word lie built right in it and if you've never seen that before you're not looking close enough to the belief and I don't know why you would want to Hang your worldview hang your belief system hang your identity and your ego on something that isn't true Yeah, and and though the treatment of another person whether they're male or female Yeah, in a way that makes your ego more important than a conversation because he was a pig at home Yeah, yeah, and I know it was it was well. Yeah, absolutely discussing You know how I feel about food in general like eating with hands So what he was doing was absolutely abhorrent and the way he treated her Yeah, that was a metaphor for the way he treated. It was actually really brilliant the way it was written because at first This is what it felt like and and they kind of maintained it way But the way and I want to give credit to all the actors everybody especially to dad Saraj The husband and to Namisha Saraj's father and then and Saraj's dad tea Suresh Babu One all three of you were 100% believable the entire tactic But the way that it was written is obviously the dad is the the patriarch of the family Yes, he upholds those terrible views and kind of it was almost like a silent villain Like very okay soft spoken I guess villain because like all the stuff he did nobody really took it offensively outside of internally offensive and then The the husband was more of the you thought he was more of the modern but kind of went along with his dad's Crazy ideas, right, but then right toward the father got along you realize he basically wasn't any different than his dad It was he was basically the same thing He just wasn't as upfront about it right as she was so it was really brilliantly Written and then also all the female characters the ones that came in when she was unclean Oh, she couldn't touch anything And the fact that she then it got even worse and she had to go into another room and Yeah, but then towards that end when she started calling him out and Calling all it was yeah, because it was painful for me to watch when He made her apologize to him right for calling him out, right? Me and my wife were like do not do not apologize. Yes at all And my wife was like could you could you like if you were in that situation could I was like, yeah I could easily call him out because that's just who I am But I can see in her situation why it's incredibly difficult in this society that she's in and and being a woman in that society Yes, why it's incredibly difficult and scary. Yeah for what can happen But obviously I would just tell these people to fuck right off. Don't treat me like that. Yeah, but here's the thing What happens and this is the case what happens when you live in a world where when you do say that Everybody in the village beats the living crap out of you. Yeah throws you in a cell Yeah, you know what I mean all in the name of what they believe in their culture, right? And so they like I said this film had a lot to say And that's why I feel any you could even relate to it as an American There's a lot of cultures that not to this extreme of treating women this way But there is to some extent in some cultures the women are still Kind of thought of as the baby makers the cooks. Yes home. Yes. It's obviously Culturally different. There's a there's different scenarios But this is not an uncommon thing that I think every culture could relate to especially as a female could relate to this treatment Just in different ways, right? It's a universal truth an absolute universal universal truth and universal film So I want to commend Geo baby for his writing and directing and I think if this like This set the bar pretty high for new films in 2021 for sure did of like these This is right at the top of just like with parts, you know, that wasn't this year In terms of right right coming out this year But this is my front-runner by a mile currently of and it's the bar set really high for the next film because I Don't have a flaw with this film. Yeah at all there. It's really doesn't have there's a couple of I could be nitpicky About some of the tiny roles. Yeah, some some people who have just what day player walk-on role You know and that would be really wrong to do to the film but the thing that I probably Like most about it is that it among the many messages that it has One of the primary messages that has is the fact that there is a relationship and you just can't deny it There was a relationship between advancement societally technologically industrially and morally and societally, I may have repeated that where Example there was a time where if you had a mental illness, they thought the right thing to do was drill a hole in your Head to let the evil spirit up. Yeah And then we advanced We're so advanced now that we were we would consider somebody doing that to another person for that reason what used to be considered the norm Barbaric, yeah That kind of thing is still happening in the world today Where you take that example and you apply it to the way women were treated 1500 2000 years ago They shouldn't be treated that way anymore anywhere on earth But because there were places that have not had advancements in society or in treatment of women or in human rights Well, even if they have had it their refusal to it's just it would be like going to that place of tradition, right? It'd be like why are you drilling a hole in that person's head? Because this is the way we've always done it That's not a good enough reason. Yeah. Yeah, so I thought I thought it was a brilliant because I thought also It was very subtle In in what it uh very because it was a very simple film a very simple film There was hardly any dialogue honestly So I it could have almost been a silent film if if it wanted to be it probably could have been a silent film It could have been you would have gotten the exact same messages out of it But it's incredibly simple, but it also I'm guessing can Especially to a lot of indians that have uh, especially in a more because obviously this family is not the norm It's at least Big cities, I guess norm But I think every indian can almost relate to some part of this And I think everybody you were everybody can somewhere. Yeah Yeah, so I think that's why I said it's incredibly important I think for all indians to see this film because I think it's incredibly one of the most important films we've seen Yeah, for sure in terms of just And I love that it thanked science at the beginning because I I know there's films that we've seen That's that thank god and and do all that kind of stuff, which is I'm not saying that's that's wrong But the fact that it made that That that choice right at the beginning to be like thank you science for the advancements That that it keeps us our our culture progressing. Yes, and moving along. Yeah, so I can't I know I Have nothing but praise for this film me as well And it I if you I'm hoping you're still not here if you haven't watched it Yeah, because man you need to experience this film. It's it's just absolutely brilliant a plus. Yep. I agree It's it's at the top of the list of films that we've seen period. I want to thank uh Molly olem cinema They're usually one of the most one most consistent In terms of their quality and also the subjects the subjects. Yeah subject matter subjects and substance that they try to Put out there for their films. Absolutely. They do a fantastic job Yes, so nothing but praise let us know what you thought of this film down below and let us know What's the next Molly olem film we should watch down below? Oh and um, fuck the patriarchy
