 Have I told you that I want to make a movie called my penis? Yeah, what's that about? Well, it's a short film, right? Yeah, you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or juicy content. It's so beautiful. No. And today we are doing a movie or review you little people. Uh, I mean, I'm sure people that are watching this aren't all small people. It's a little people, unless... Anyway, today we are reviewing the new film that came out. I think it was Friday, I think. Was it? I think so. I don't know. Surarari. Pooh. Got the T's there. Pooh-tru. Okay. How would you pronounce that? Ah, there's Surarari Pooh-tru. And I have no idea if that's any more remotely close to being right. Directed by say, say... Handwritten, it looks like. Yeah, directed and written by Suda Kungara. A bunch of other people as well, or writers. Starring, say, I guess the leads. Um, Aparnabala Morali. And then, no one would have mispronounced those names in Suraya. Suraya. The... Horsuria. Who, forgive me, is a huge star in South India. He also produced this film and Amazon bought the rights to it. Yeah. Because no one can go into theaters right now. So Amazon and Netflix are just buying everything up. But it's a Tamil film based on a... On true events. The film itself is obviously not all a true story. Right. But the overall events is a true story of this airlines that's... Budget airline, I guess? Yeah. In India? Yes, that... My understanding was inspired partly by what Southwest did here. Oh, okay. And I read up about it somewhat. That was part of the inspiration was an economy airline that would make it reasonable to do short flights and be that anybody could fly. So, Rick, your initial thoughts. Well, I don't have a paragraph, but I do have a lot I want to say, particularly about something that when I was watching it, it revealed something for me that's been a challenge with some of the films we've seen, but I'd get to articulate it. So, as a whole, I just... I didn't like it. I... The Surya? Yes. Did a fine job with what he was given to do. Yeah. I don't have any complaints with what he was expected to do and what the project was in and of itself, but I can get into the things as to why it is, because it's a very large picture thing for me in terms of everything from stereotypes to tropes to... I have a lot to say about it. So, that's my initial thing is just I didn't... I didn't like it yet, gotcha. It was definitely a mixed bag for me. There was stuff I liked and there was stuff I didn't like at all. Yeah. So, it was definitely... It was for sure a mixed bag. I actually really enjoyed the two leads. Him. Yeah, and his wife. What's her name? Yeah, I agree. I should have said that at the outset as well. She was equally... Given what she was given, I think that they both did the best that they could do with what they were given. And I did. If I would say was there anything I enjoyed about it, that would be it. Would be the two leads. Yeah. Yeah. Say her name for me, please. Aparna Balamorali. Looks like she was in the Malayalam film with... We haven't seen yet with Fahat Fasil. Oh yeah. Oh. Say the name. Oof. Mahashinte Prathikaram. That's the next Fahat one that a lot of people really want us to watch. So, let us know about that. Because I actually really enjoyed... She looked very familiar actually. She did. Yeah. I couldn't place her the whole time. I was. I'm like, I've seen you. So, we might have seen her in 10 films when you guys came out. So, yeah. But I... So, I'm going to go over the stuff I did enjoy. I did enjoy them. Yeah. I thought they were real nice. I enjoyed learning about the overall story of this. The telling was iffy for me. Because I prefer stories being told more realistic. And this was definitely a film that was... They were trying to be a blockbuster film with a true story. Right. Which is fine. It's just... My cup of tea, especially with true stories, is just more realistic. And then if you're going to stylize it. Yeah. Stylize it in a way that is more glancing to the history versus completely not true. Yeah. Like, an example for that would be the greatest showman. Oh, yeah. P.T. Barnum was not the way Hugh Jackman depicts him. At all, he's quite evil. But Jackman said at the outset, we never attempted to try to do a biopic. We were taking the P.T. Barnum character and the characters around him. And basically made that into just a 90-minute musical story with a little moral about being kind to people. They never intended for anybody to think this was a biopic about P.T. Barnum. Jackman repeatedly was telling people we know that he had a dark history. This is not a historical account. We're just basically taking these characters and turning it into this musical fun thing. That I'm okay with. Yeah. But I enjoyed learning about the overall history of this airlines at least. That part I enjoyed. I actually really enjoyed the songs. I thought the songs were real nice. I don't know if I... Just the same with like... I kind of bought into it because right from the outside, you're like this is like a blockbuster film. Right. That's what they're trying to do. So the songs. But I thought they were great songs. The composition of all the songs was real nice. I enjoyed their love story. The main two, I thought they had a really good dynamic, which goes into what I really enjoyed about the film was those two and their dynamic. And yeah. The biggest issue for me with this film was probably just, I don't know. Maybe it's just the style, like the stylistic of wanting to be the big mass movie telling this story, which is just not my cup of tea. And a lot of the, at least side characters, they'd fell into one of these things a lot. There was a bunch of bad actors or at least bad writing or yeah, especially with the side characters. And a lot of them were just like stereotypical, like the main villain, the guy. Actually the story is actually very similar to a wonderful life. They, it was actually in terms of this guy, he's having a hard time. The village comes together to give them his money so he can save them and save them. Right. And then there's Mr. Potter, who is the evil guy that has no other motive but to hurt people. Yes. And so it was very simplistic story and the characters outside and I'll talk about the main two. Like I said, I actually really enjoyed the main two. I would love to see both of them and more stuff. But I'd say three-fourths of the other cast was either not good or the writing was just not good or a combination of both. And it definitely, I can enjoy a good mass movie. But when there's a bunch of actors that just, when they say their lines, it doesn't sound believable and it doesn't sound good. It takes me out of it. Right. And their whole suspension of disbelief. Yeah. So parties over. It's, and I don't want to say this film, because I've seen way worse films in this by like way worse films. Yeah, I wouldn't agree. I'd give this film 65 to 70 out of 100. I'd give it, I'd give it almost a passing grade, but there's a bunch of stuff that keeps it probably from being a full-on passing grade. I absolutely agree with you. I wouldn't give it an F, but you know, there's a lot of things I would give it a C-. Yeah. And part of that is, and here comes the larger picture for me. First and foremost, the historicity of it. I read up some stuff because I was, I knew they were taking liberties, but they weren't, they didn't just take liberties. They just straight up, this is not the story. Gotcha. This is not how this airline was started. Gotcha. There was, there was no grand villain in the airline industry. There wasn't any heroic saving of the plane as an engine blew up. Yeah. They didn't just take liberties. They just flat out retold history. Gotcha. So for me, it's one thing to take liberties, especially if you're going to go way out of line and do something like a retelling of history, the way that Quinton does. Yeah. Where you completely reshape it on purpose. Somebody killed Taylor in the movie. Yeah, but there will be people who walk away from this thinking this is the way the Decca Airlines was created. Yeah. And it was just kind of hyper stylized and that's just not the case. So that was the first thing, but the larger thing I was realizing while I was watching it and watching what they were doing in the development of the character, who they were taking this man from real life and turning him into the hero, right? And we've talked about this before and it dawned on me and I wrote some things down. So they were staying true to the hero stereotype and the mythology. Yeah. Which in many cases, this film included becomes more important than story and believability. The trope, right? Yeah. And that's why, for example, they have at the awards ceremonies, they have nominations for negative roles. Remember? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. One of the cardinal sins in acting and in storytelling, but particularly in acting, is to judge a character. So to make a presupposition that it's a negative role already places a judgment on the character, which is why you have a bad guy in this film who has no redeeming quality whatsoever. He is a stereotypical negative role. He's the anti-hero. He's the hero. And for me, it's like, yeah, there's a place for that and cinematic creation the same way you could still make a horse and buggy. But that's great. It's just not really going to get me anywhere because what I want to get around in and what the common thing with cinematic storytelling is, is an automobile. Yeah. And I see it as an antiquated point of pre-evolutionary cinema where you're taking tropes and types and making that more important than history or even more so, the believability of what you're watching, which is, which creates these moments that become like when the minute smoke came out of the engine. I set out loud with a groan. He's going to save the plane. I really doubt the guy who founded the ceremony is going to save the plane. Fine. And the judging of the characters. It isn't just about protagonist and antagonist. It's about hero and negative roles. The scene with the friends and family giving money. Yeah. It wasn't an unbelievably endearing moment because it was clearly orchestrated to create an emotional response. If the emotion isn't coming from a genuine place of honesty, either in relationship to the people or the circumstances, it's a manipulation. It's not a creation. I didn't feel like I was watching a genuine moment of people coming together to help him. I felt like I was being manipulated into thinking, oh my goodness, the whole family came in to help him. And it is a stylistic thing. Again, it has to do with tropes. It has to do with hero worship for the glorification of an ideal, not only at the expense of truth, but the retelling of history that seems to deify a hero and demonize the industry. Like, there'd be people go walk away from this and go, man, the airline industry is a freaking need. Like, wow, it's so freaking cutthroat. There was no attempt to undercut him by other airlines. In the history of the creation of Deck of Airlines. Now, there may have been problems that he faced. They just did that for cinematic. Right, for cinematic. For the sake of, they took a story and said, we're going to put it within the template of the hero myth, and we're now going to sensationalize it and turn it into this kind of a film that, for me, it's really hard for me to watch. Because again, it's for me, cinematically, like being told, let's drive across country and horse and tear. So do you think the biggest issue was probably the writing? Uh, well, the writing and directing are together in that. I know, but yeah, the writing one dialogue. Yeah, 100%. It always goes back to the writing. Also, just the creating of different events that wasn't an actual part of it. That's the writing 100%. Yeah, yeah. Like I said, I've seen bad films before, and I, like I said, I wouldn't classify this as definitely not the worst, but obviously I didn't enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed other films. Especially that even came out this way. We, you know, we loved Ludo because it was absolutely so unique. The story of this one was fairly simple, and we've seen this story told a thousand times, you know, underdog needs to find money, finds it somehow, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so that's one of the things that we're talking about. Yeah. And I would like to see more from the leads, the two leads. Because I would too. Those are my favorite parts. I think they did the best they could do with what they had. Example. I thought he was actually very small most of the time when the director and writer would let him. He was. What I would have preferred to have seen was... I thought she was great the whole time, though. I would have preferred to have seen the actual real struggle that the guy went through to create the airline, even if it was boring. I don't need him to become the hero who rips off his shirt and runs out and holds the planes with two ropes that didn't happen in the film, but that kind of thing. To me, what would be heroic is watching some average dude doing everything he can with as little money as he possibly can. And that's who he was. See that story versus taking it and almost making it appear as if this is what happened. Because, you know, it does say granted, it does say taken from true story. I don't know what stories they used. I don't know about those stories where they came from. Yeah. Because when you look at the history of the creation of Decca Airlines, there's none of that. None of that that I found. Gotcha. So, yeah. But yeah, like I said, I definitely enjoyed the two leads. So please give us more stuff from them that we can react to because I know this guy's a huge star and she was flawless the whole time. I loved her the whole time. There was one when I was hoping that she would say this one line because I loved her spunkiness, I guess you would say. Yeah. Because she was a very independent woman and I loved that strong. When he slapped her, I thought it was a genuine moment out of anger and he did it and I thought he was genuinely sorry. Correct. I was hoping she was going to say though, like after I'm praying and blah, blah, blah, if you ever hit me again, I'm going to cut your dick off. That's what I was hoping she was going to say. Because I was like, I would believe she would say that. She would, you know, she would talk about if you would have turned it down, I would have poisoned your food. I liked her character a lot and like I said, I enjoyed the songs in this. I thought the style, especially the stylistic way they were filmed, I thought was good. But like I said, I didn't hate the entire thing. But it's also, I probably won't ever watch this ever again. But I wouldn't be opposed to watching more of the two leads. Yeah, if we were recommended the film and either one of them were in the film, I would be looking forward to watching it because they were to me the best thing about the movie. Absolutely. Let us know what you thought of the film down below. Let us know why we're a bunch of stupid white morons down below, like you opinionated like I know you will. White devils. Let us know what's the next Tamil film and from them as well. We should watch down below.
