Yeah, one of the later movie reviews. We've ever done it most likely Yeah, we don't normally go to the late showing now. We don't I'm a sleepy boy. Yeah We don't we're not like you guys who stay up to five in the morning right and runny If I had my button yeah, lady comes from the black void. Yeah Ladies come from oh, yeah Today we're doing a movie of you of the new just came out ljp Dost film Say it it is called They said it enough times. I was trying to get it down. Yeah, it's no way. Well Malakota. I valley button What she said she's she's a bongo. What does she know? Yeah, honestly, why what are you doing trying to Guys probably know more than she does. Yeah. Yeah, settle down back there. Anyways Obviously ljp's new film with the mega star Mohan Lall and it I do want to thank the Distribute I think their distribution production company production company. I don't know for sure But they actually reached out because stupid babies actually they they said they got a ton of messages And they were like hey DM us the stupid army and full force Originally they had showings down where we saw the last one and then they put it and one that's not I wouldn't say where we went is close But it's like it's like a 25 minute drive from my house, but it's an easy drive. Yes It's an easy drive if it's always gonna be a 25 minute drive But you're never gonna get any surprises. No, and so they they added a showtime For us and not just us we there were other people in the theater. Yeah, that was that we're with us But it was actually a good size house. Yeah, but I do want to say thank you to them Very very much paid anything. That was just a very they were very kind and they reached out specifically To do this and so I do want to thank them They because that we don't always get that and sometimes we either don't get them or we have to go far far away So yeah, thank you so much, but anyways this film obviously It's start LGP. Sorry Mohanlal. It just came out. So we're going to start with non-spoilers So to not spoil your little behinds here but It's in theaters now. I'd how the distribution is in India. I don't know obviously in Kerala. I'm sure it's wide In all that and I think it's pretty wide in North America So Rick your initial non-spoiler thoughts of this film. It's so hard to do this with non-spoilers It's very very difficult. So And it's it's just So to see it or to skip it It's gonna depend on Who you are yeah, if you are From I Think if you know a lot of what is being represented in this Which I can't say that because then it's spoilers. Yeah, you're because there's so much in this that is completely foreign to Us to me Symbolically whatever it may be So the cinematography is gonna be what you expect. It's gonna be off the charts Incredible cinematography just like you saw in the trailer and more There's a blending of genres I don't want to say you kind of get the gist of it from the trailer But I don't want to talk about the blending of genres because that's a spoiler for me I This has nothing I think to do with the film and has to do with my I don't be interested to see what you have to say my ignorance to Who's being talked about what the masks represent in certain places what certain things represent There's so much representative and some symbolic that is beyond it's kind of like Trying to introduce It would be kind of like it trying to introduce Shakespeare to someone who's just starting to learn English. Yeah, they would be like I I don't know I guess I I don't know. That's how I felt a lot of the time. Yeah. Yeah So it's a complex for you very complex for me about from a film making from well That's what I mean from the technical side of it I can appreciate the technical side of it, but because I didn't get a lot of the symbolism Yeah, it got I got lost and I didn't know if the reason I was lost was because I'm not picking up on what's being represented Or is the scope of what's being represented getting away from LJP, which I can't imagine that's the case So I put the blame on the fact that so much of what he's conveying is Completely new and I've never heard of it. I don't know what's being represented There are some aspects of it that are very Western, but I don't want to talk about that because that's kind of a spoiler Yeah, I like that part of it But as a whole is a film for a lot of it. I just kind of sat there and thought I Don't know what's going on. I Really for the most of the part I did most of most of the film. I did not I did not kind of comprehend what's going on This film is very It's a lot of things this film is a lot of things one would be Shakespearean a little bit Like a play a little bit. Yeah, it's a lot like a play It's in some spots a little bit of Tarantino sometimes a lot of it a Tarantino Lot of symbolism Obviously from stuff that obviously the same I didn't always get the the references going on because a lot of his films in the past that we've seen are very Christian symbolic behind it and so we get a lot of those references yeah, the worst Christian symbolisms in this as well But I do feel with the nun. I don't I don't think it's a spoiler, but a lot of Hindu symbolisms in this So obviously we are not as verse in that aspect And I think I regional regional maybe as well. Yeah I do think this is by far at least from this ones that we've seen his most stylistic Film is and his biggest in scope which we fell from the trailer. Yeah, I Think a lot of that is stylistic though the bigness So like, you know Tarantino is very stylistic, but a lot of LGP's films are Small nuance right this From the ones we saw I know there's many that we haven't seen yet of LGP So maybe yeah, he has stuff that that that we don't know of yet that it is very stylistic What I'm laughing about is for me. This is his tenant In terms of I just didn't understand what was going on a lot of the time gotcha does that make sense? Yeah I did I wasn't as confused about tenors as you were though Yeah, I still But yeah the The the scope of it and what he was trying to say and I'll get into some of that in spoiler I don't think I'm not gonna try to guess what he was saying with the full thing No, this would be an easy film to say, you know what he's saying, but you really don't know Yeah, yeah, I'd be ever interested with you guys who are Malayalees and well-versed and yeah Indian culture Malayalam culture all the stuff if he has references to other films of his in this Film itself, but man, I I would see this film just for the cinematography of it Good Lord Is it beautiful? You would expect I would expect that from him and a lot of it is very symbolic Symbolism as well And stuff that once again, I didn't pick up on But I'm like that means something right. It's clearly mean something clearly. I wish I knew what it meant And but a lot of it's extremely pretty Sanjay Libansali level at at times in terms of what he was doing with with certain shots It just could have absolutely been a play and the way it's thought it's it's very slow-moving in parts Like in the way it goes it goes by chapter kind of yeah, yeah And but and again Pacing is hard to critique for me when I'm not tracking with the film because then I don't know if what I'm sensing with it For example, if I feel like a film is dragging because I don't know if that's because of the flow of the direction and the editing Or if it's because I'm just not Correct, you know what I mean absolutely. Yeah, but of the stuff that I did I did enjoy a lot of it Like I said, I I'm okay with directors doing what they want to do and Me not getting it fully If I can just watch their vision on screen and be like I don't fully know You know what it what what just happened, right? I think I have kind of some know what this remind You haven't seen this film, but this is gonna be for those of you who have seen what I'm about to reference You haven't seen the boy in the Heron. No, not yet. We will I felt the exact same way watching this as I did The boy in the Heron. I think that might be because you're your first. Yeah, but I felt the same way of Mirzaki film this I can tell that this is probably great, but I don't know why and there's a ton of stuff in this that I just I'm watching thinking what the heck is going on. What does that mean? But I left with the sense of I can tell this was somebody who knows what they're doing. I Just wish I knew what they were doing Yeah, yeah, I get it. Yeah Man, I thought Mohanlal did a very good job. His presence on screen was really cool And not like it looked like a Raj Nekanth cool. That's not that's not what the film is very different Really it's not bad at all. Yeah. No, this is a LGP film through and through the star of Every LGP film I've ever seen is LGP and that's no different In this, you know, obviously this one has I'd say more of a star than a typical Lilo yeah film But he's still I think the star of the film I think if we do we're Molly Ali or something we'd be able to just dissect it better right than two American white guys. Yeah Then that's that's happened before I think and it happened a little bit with his last one even Because they were there were element not as much no, but there were elements of it that were very Tamil very Malayalam References and in certain things. It was a ton. We missed but that last one had a broader appeal in terms of it having a universal understanding Throughout more more so then then this one. I think a lot of people internationally would be able to appreciate the technical aspects of It and the beauty of the cinematography Yeah, but as far as story is concerned, I think there's it's it's it's I'd be surprised To find out how many people who haven't been exposed at all to India, especially this region of India Would be able to track with the story. I would be I'd be really really shocking to me. You were that lost Yeah, I was really really lost. Oh, okay. Yeah When it gets well again, yeah, we'll talk about I can tell you when I didn't get lost We'll talk it talk about that and in the spoilers, but overall in terms of like what I see I would definitely go see it especially if you're for Malayali and if you like Lilo LGP I can't say his full name Because You might be even smarter than we are in the realm of understanding of the film But I think if you want his style it is very different than his normal style actually very different But also still has a lot of elements of what makes a LGP film an LGP film, which is thinking I think that has to do with most of his films is like what is what are the undercurrents of this? This one has a lot of those And also even more than any other one I've seen because there's so much going on Mohanla is not going to give you anything to gripe about in this film The There's actually a ton of quite a bit of songs in in in the film Compared to what are normally in yeah, the LGP film true The cinematography you could go in literally just for that And I thought does the sound design was very unique very loud. Yeah, I think we don't know I don't know if that's the I think it's on purpose Yeah, it might be on purpose in spots or it could be the theater. Yeah, who knows That specifically but very unique In in how he decided to do it but overall I Enjoyed it. I think I you might enjoy it even more though If you if you're a Mali Ali or even just an Indian that knows the references better than I Don't know. Yeah, you can let us know if you've seen it, but now we're gonna get to some spoils Don't expect too much intelligent conversation Because once again very stupid and Lila LGP is much smarter than we are But if you haven't seen it, please go watch it and then come back Before you get spoiled. Okay, so Rick. What were you gonna say earlier? Just so I appreciate the genre mixing because this is a Western That I got this is definitely a Western in the in the whole scope of it and he gives a lot of shout-outs to the to the Western and He Mahanlal is the Clint Eastwood character who kicks everybody's ass and he's the loner and then he befriends somebody It's very outlaw Josie Wales and then the person that he was caring for gets killed So I got that at the end when they started to actually put exposition in the text Yeah, and say here's what's going on, but I still didn't get I Didn't get the big jumping foot in the ground and he's on the other opposite side of the hill And he's gonna face himself in his final battle, which is against himself I guess or another avatar of who he is. I that that I didn't get so I appreciated the blend of both what felt like a Sanjali, Libansali Indian film and a Clint Eastwood Western and But but I so much of the first 70% of the film was him just kicking ass and taking names and It was so comical sometimes with the wire work that I thought that was a stylist's choice. Yeah, I thought We're go. Are we farcical now? Where are we going in and out of farce because I thought at some points you're being really grounded and you're being really Honest in what you're conveying here in a way that you want us to feel a sense of reality and now it's becoming Hidden tiger crouching dragon or is it reverse crouching? I forget With the wire work So, yeah, that's I think it was absolutely supposed to be comical blend absolutely similar to how Me and also different to how Quentin does in Django in a lot of that the The fight scenes specifically were clearly Done stylistically in that way You know, I almost want to say they wanted to do it almost like it was a play how it would be done in the play How would look in a play? And I that the humor was absolutely there and supposed to be there on on those parts So that I 100% agree the one of my favorite parts though was God they he blended so many genres right Like that one song that came on where the the white people started to dance. Oh, yeah, I was like, oh my word Yeah, this is this is so outlandish and that's why I was like that's why the entire thing It was supposed to have the kind of no doubt that yes, it was serious at times, but it was also farcical It was also that it was obvious to me. Well, some of the time really obvious I know I think there was a lot of those really obvious moments but the I Want I maybe I'm just reading into it, but I think that whole sequence where The the kind of big battle sequence of the film with the army there with the army and her on the big gun Rotating cannons. I like that. Yeah, the big gun an animal. Yeah, I did. I I thought that was almost a Answer to not really answer like he's trying to do it, but no almost. He's poking fun. Yeah India's obsession right now Everybody having big mass guns. Yes, and and yes, I thought that whole sequence specifically It felt to me like it was almost a Pointing up a mirror like you see how ridiculous we're looking right now. Yeah Let's call it. We don't need a circular cannon gun and he kind of he does kind of throw in I'm not gonna say it's Masala, but he throws in all of the kind of things that you see in different Indian films So you get the big Bollywood numbers. Yep, you get the Ridiculous white people. Oh, yeah, you get like you even more so yeah, you know the big the big the ridiculous gun Then the God just the evil guy that laughs all the time, right the evil Time I just for no reason. I see he's he's the bad guy. Yeah, I think the bad guy I think you guys can tell me if you read that in as well I felt like it was a little not that that was a whole point of the film, but one of the under count under Current themes of it was Almost a call out of the big like can we can we Pull it down right some guys cuz this is what we're looking like right. We don't need an oscillating cannon Right, just categorically hilarious. Yeah That wouldn't work yeah, but The whole song with their dance and all crazy Everywhere The beginning started off with that same comedy and in the end And not really the end of most of it in general I don't I can't tell you specifically what all the Hindu references were if it's even that It would part a lot of them were like the end was that was Shiva, right? Yeah I'm not sure it was blue The destroyer right returning Yeah, yeah, maybe it was a different avatar of him. I mean there's thousands in blue with dreadlocks. That's Well, I well, I think Mohanlal. I don't know if he's gonna be trying to be Hanuman as well Or maybe just a different app. That's what I'm just reading stupidly sent to it That's what that's what I'm trying to tell you all those are just like from what I know of the Whatever that film was the anime film that I saw was right Was it cool? I didn't see it, but you did the anime film from the 1990s. Yes. Thank you Rahmavayan that that yes, thank you That's basically what I know of all those gods So I was like, yes, I think the masks were the the demoned guy That Scythe was playing in that. I don't know. Was it was the demon with the heads? I know didn't mention them Who do you know who those masks were? That's what I thought I thought it was supposed to be like reflecting not specifically him but a demoned that they everybody in the crowd was like Anyways deceiving that's what I would read into it, but once again very stupid You guys could tell if though if my assumptions and any of that is true Because I don't know that was those were the parts that I'm like, yeah, I don't know I'm not familiar with anything. Yeah, because of that because of so much of it was symbolic I was looking for and couldn't find out Why anybody for the first half of the film in particular I couldn't really figure out why anybody was doing what they were doing And I thought okay, maybe that's the point Is that the point of the and then I just I had so many questions and couldn't track what was going on For so much of it that I just spent a lot of the film just lost Yeah, I like I like sometimes when when films just kind of Take you on a ride regardless of if you're Like relating to character specifically or I mean in LGP's famously done it and then the film he got sent to the Oscars We talked about that It's very much like when we came out of the boy in the hair And we were standing on the street about to cross it and a lady who was in the theater with us We didn't know it until she looked at us and she saw that we were in the theater and she said What was that? And we said we're still trying to figure it out. Do you know she said no I can't figure out what what that was all about. So Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. So I can't tell you you're stupid yet. No, when I see it. I will you will Well, Stephanie will and then I'll say whatever hard thing she says weird as I like it. I Like it anyways, if you obviously if you haven't seen the film yet, I hope you're still not here But if you have please let us know what you thought about the film if you liked it If you didn't like it why we're idiots Please explain. Oh, like We have obviously give us our aha moments, but I do want to once again. Thank the production nerd distribution house I don't know specifically because It's the first time it's happened to us. And so I do want to thank you guys But let us know what you thought about the film and anything else we need to know down below
