 Old people suck, huh? Hey, welcome back to our stupid right to use the Corbin. I was old ones You false an Instagram Phone's true to count and subscribe if you haven't hit the like button do it helps us out a ton Thank you, sir. How old stay on target today. We're doing a movie on target And it is of the I will get the information here the 2012 Bengalo film Sorry, Bengali Shabdo How would have been golly pronounced? Shobdo? Shobdo? Shobdo? The a would have more of an O kind of a sound I believe it was translated to my wife walks in the room. She will sound or something like that. Yeah, I mean sound directed by and written by Koshik Ganguly and then starring Ritwik Chakraborty, right? We saw the train in a sense. We saw this trailer a long long time ago And we're very excited about the the concept of the film and Ritwik We wanted to see more of him and all the kind of stuff came out in 2012 will be a hundred percent spoiler of you We got it sent. I'm assured you can get it somewhere else We got it sent in a Google file because that's the only place we could get it with subs I tried watching it in a nail file. It was very frustrating. That's I bet that can be frustrating Anyways, but if you haven't watched it, and you don't want to be spoiled Please go away because it's gonna be a hundred percent spoiler of you Rick your initial thoughts This is our 16th of the year our 11th Bengali film in our 223rd of all time 11th, I thought it was 12. Nope 11. Really? Yeah, at least I can get my list. Go on. Yeah, so here's the paragraph watch sound of metal instead It's a great paragraph. There you go. Yeah, I don't know how in or is it not my cup? Yeah, I don't know how long this is gonna be I did not I did not enjoy this film outside of Moments when the director allowed Rittwick to do what he wanted to do But that's that's that's about it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can tell but I mean We don't know how long these reviews are gonna be now We just typically when if you see, you know, 25 minutes or longer It's because we had to keep it We could have talked for two hours the ones that are under the 25 minute mark There's typically not a lot to say because we don't want to spend our time But yeah harping on things that we don't like about the film And we will talk about some of them. Yes, you know, and I know a lot of people Love this or like I if you go back to our trailer reaction you look under it People say this film's a masterpiece the best thing they've ever so that's what you think Did you go on thinking that? But that is not our opinion of this film And you know, I said this in our last in the last review about opinions right and I had stated in that paragraph That I do try to base my opinions as much as possible on objective reality rather than subjective things and part of that objective reality are the things that we know are What are required to make something? Quality cinematic experience there and that's the primary reason this this is a very different thing in terms of where the last movie the Padmum yeah, but mom pre mom pre mom where pre mom I understood the cultural Differentiations and said it's not my cup of tea. Yeah, you probably would like that This one for me is not just because it's my cup of tea. I just Cinematically find very there's just not much. I'll talk. I'll talk about the two things that I like and you could tell me You should be able if you're in a film for example If you're an actor in a film or you're a producer or a director You should be able to recognize whether your film was good or not Like go watch shattered if your kids on drugs if you want to be abused and waste your time. I Star in that thing It's terrible. I have one good moment the rest of it's really really bad. I have the opposite Jurassic World is fantastic So you should be able to look at stuff and be able to recognize whether it's good or not and yeah This was but anyways the two things that I thought were the most no notable, right? Was rhetoric was the number one and I wish she had a different script a different director a different film Yeah, but seriously a different story he was by far no one was on whatever level he was at No, and I don't know if you if you agree with that I agree. I think he was as good as he was in his other stuff not even close, but I think he was definitely the overwhelmingly Far superior everybody else that was agreed agreed. There's He's a good enough actor that even with something that doesn't work You can tell like we can't with any good actor that they're they're probably gonna be okay First come off was on film we saw yeah that we could see and I think this is much better performance Then come all gave in that film and I'm not trying to be over because I know you guys hate us for not liking that But I think this performance was much better than that one But he had very little in terms of script to work with he the other actors gave him zero Outside of maybe his the producing partner was I guess the second best person there Yeah, but this yeah, he was definitely the best part and I'll get into all the other stuff after this I'm trying to get to the good weight that I'd like first. You didn't like the white actor. Hmm But yeah, so he and I thought if the director in the writer, I guess the same guy, right? gave I Think took it in a different direction. I would have much more preferred that absolutely as opposed to the direction They went and I'll get into that. Yep, but I like the concept of doing a film about a Fully artist. Yes, love that concept. Yes, of course. I honestly don't feel like that's what they did agreed I would much preferred it to just be Rithwick Centric with maybe a couple supporting people like do it like if it was made now do it like you said Sound of metal was first thing that comes to mind, right? Something like that, but like the times that I was engaged was Rithwick doing stuff Predominantly by himself. Yeah, that's that's mainly when I would have been that I that wasn't treat Yeah, anytime there was other people it was it was hard to watch. Yeah, and even even with him I wasn't able to stay fully engaged because I knew what he was having to work with just strained credulity for me on so many levels and I there's Oh There's so many different directions I wished it had gone and thought it was gonna go based on the trailer. Yeah, because okay So what they did and this is such a frustrating part You thought the Rithwick was gonna be the main character and kind of his story But it was really like the doctor's story and I was like why Why one they harped on like the same thing like eight billion times like what's his problem? He only likes this. That's a problem. Blah blah blah. Let's discuss that 10,000 times With us with an actress and I'm sorry, you might be a great actress now But in this I didn't I did not like that actress at all And did not like her the writing that she was given did not like her performance of it Did not like really the whole story of her. Yeah, you could have maybe like Rithwick was doing his thing the entire time, right? And then 45 minutes in after you've had a Rithwick Centric film be like maybe we should see a doctor. She'd be like a five minutes supporting character. Sure No, she I think has more screen time than Rithwick, which would have made sense If she was diagnosing something completely new or doing something breakthrough in the world of medicine But she's not no in fact she says at one point that he's possibly dealing with acoustic neuroma Well, why would you even consider that a possibility without testing for the tumor that causes it? I just it it really boggled the mind her her Dialogue with that guy who thought he was the best ever The greatest person who did ever he's definitely not the greatest actor and in that in the conversation with him as well She's talking about the disease that he's dealing with. Yeah What disease? And then at the end of the end just pissed me off The fact that they were like he did blah blah blah. This is a real story. It's sounding. It was a real story I'm like, what are you talking about? This is a fake story. I agree. What are you even doing? And if this is a true story that you can let me know but I was not under the assumption This was true in the slightest researched it There's nothing anywhere that I could find in any way shape or form. You don't need to give PS notes at the end of a film if it's not a true story And if it was then this was a guy with not a hearing problem This was a guy who had a really odd obsessive compulsive disorder. Yeah I honestly didn't really see the issue none at all. I didn't really understand there And here's another thing I didn't understand in the writing and everything else how she goes from telling him You're stupid You have a problem that's going to destroy all of your potential relationships because you're not paying attention to conversations You're distracted by ambient sound And then she talks to her mentor the doctor who says he's the greatest of all time and says I was having a conversation with friends and all it was was gossip and politics and maybe he's right Maybe we shouldn't be listening to conversations and we should be paying attention to ambient noise And I'm like Yeah, I didn't What I didn't I just didn't Get why they went with this direction of the film I think it could have been a thousand percent more interesting if it was just you following this foley artist Yes, his his like, you know, I think he was like I I could if like it was an american film I could have seen like walkie in phoenix doing something like this like but like a like it's hymn centric You're kind of alone in his room and his stuff. I think that would have been so much more interesting than this weird doctor Angle that they went with yeah, it wasn't interesting to me Not at all and one of the challenges of the writing is and this is a big no-no in screenwriting guys and no This isn't something that you Miss with translation. I'm not talking about dialogue. I'm talking about the actual storyline I've talked about this before Corbin's talked about this before Exposition is not supposed to be given in dialogue. It was like all exposition It was all exposition in dialogue. It was pretty bad. Yeah I could have picked up the fact that he didn't listen to other people and just he was about like his his work in the ambient noise Without you staying anything to me Yeah, and even as much as I didn't like that and would have preferred it to have been something Simple as like sound of metal where he's actually losing his hearing Let's say they did stick with the obsessive compulsive kind of disorder and you can you could actually Give a definitive thing about that and use some really good Things to help us bring attention to a malady that others suffer from because as far as I know No one on earth suffers from this malady of being so obsessively compulsive with ambient noise that you can't listen to conversation Yeah, maybe it's true But there wasn't enough of that to bring attention to me of a problem that should be addressed and by the way No, there's a point in the beginning of the movie for those of you've seen it where she's trying to explain to her mentor About the sound of birds and foley work and what's being done And he brings up hollywood films and she says that basic instinct was all studio sound that is incorrect It had it had foley work done as a lot of films do and the only reason a lot of foley work is done In films is because they weren't able to capture the sound On set or on location or it's a sound that doesn't happen in nature like a lot of science fiction films So no basic Basic instinct was sync sound. We've been doing sync sound since the 1920s. So yeah um, so yeah overall Not not probably my least favorite Bengali film we've seen What did I say earlier today? Hmm. Oh, she's looking on her phone. Yeah, I said that's indrani I said she said how was it because she was going to watch it with me and our night changed last night So I watched it while she was sleeping and I said, yeah, it's my it's my least favorite Bengali film By which is so strange because I got recommended this all the time people just praising it and Maybe you guys can explain to me what you liked it won the there's a Bengali Film awards and it won best film. I cannot comprehend Yeah, you guys can let us know like what you think was so good about it in the comments below Obviously, this is our opinion. Yeah, but we think of it. I don't think it's a good film Ritvik was by far the best part of it I thought even though I think his other film that we've seen of him is was a better performance of his But that could be because of the directing and writing of this film. Yeah because I I think you could give This film with Ritvik Ritvik to another director and it'll be a thousand percent Actually watchable Film. Yeah, conceptually. I mean did completely just gut it outside of it's a fully artist Yeah, I mean come on just that's what attracted us to the trailer when you make movies about making movies We're in yeah barely about that and this Barely even touched on any of that and didn't bring It just and I really meant that I wasn't being sarcastic or silly with my really short paragraph If you want to watch a film about an artist whose artistry is impacted by something going on with sound Watch sound of metal. Yeah I agree with you and like I said, I'm sure this is a really short might be under 15 minute review. Um, But I don't want to just hard fun. No everything we hate doing that exactly like These are not the kind of even though I think we both agree that we like doing movie reviews That's one of our favorite videos to do but when they're bad and we don't have anything I say It's not a fun time And we regret because I we know that a bunch of people like these films that we talk about Uh, and you always take it personally When we do no like even on my own like We would have done if if there was time There were no people were talking about on 2.0 about the batman. Yeah, and there's mixed mixed feelings about the batman Some people adore it. Some people don't like it. Well, I didn't like it So I don't want to do a review of it just to talk about what I don't like I want to talk about what I do like. Yep. So, uh, so yeah, there was uh, very little Anyways, but please do let us, uh, know what should be our next Bengali film Whether it's a more newer one Or a old one satchajit rai other people like that, of course, I don't think he's had a bad one You didn't like this one. Um, oh, yeah, you didn't like that one Yeah, but I under it was one of those where I can understand why other people like this But for me, this is my least favorite of satchajit rise. I wouldn't say that it's a bad motion picture I would just say it's for me Of the ones that I think are his best. That's the one that's his least best Um, but anyways, let us know what the next Bengali film should be down in the comments Don't kick my camera. Say bye. Say bye
