 I actually was given From my friend Mickey because we have the same shoe size. He gave me a pair of new shoes Okay, congrats, but I think they were I think they were made by a drug dealer. Why? Well, whatever he laced them with has me trippin all day Hey, welcome back to our stupider access of Corbin Falsett Instagram Twitter for more juicy content like a page from a falsehood account scrub like button whatever he has him laced with Has me trippin all day Haha today we got a Video essay it's called cinema of India my first impression Ah, which which which actor are you gonna do an impression of? Ranveer here, right? Yeah. Hi. I'm Ranveer. Wow. How was it? Was like he was sitting next to me And anyway, so this is a little so it says this channel is called the axe Accented cinema and the reason to me something like this video on cinema of India is purely I know nothing of Indian cinema and culture So this is going to do my no joke my first dive into rich world of Bollywood, Hollywood and okay So have no idea about Indian cinema first impression. He decided to dive in a little bit and now I was doing a video I say what did you watch? Yeah? Because that matters also if you only watch a couple things. I don't know if you can do a video essay on Well, you can't if it's cinema you can if it's your first impression. Yes Well, we basically did that with gully boy. We did a review of gully boy We didn't do a review of Indian cinema. That's I don't even know if we We've seen three plus films, and I don't know if we could do I agree if we were to give you our first impression of Indian Cinema as a whole I think after four years. We now could actually do our first impression Yeah, and that's all we have but at least he didn't just do Bollywood He went to Hollywood Hollywood and and Bollywood So there's more industries than that friend, but at least he didn't just do Bollywood That would be a mistake a lot. That is true. A lot of people would make them. Here we go. Let's see This video is sponsored by Nord VPN That's a good one That's a good one That's an interesting one to have at the first there you go to get to Indian cinema and I've seen that one Famous for glamorous nice entertaining dance sequences and some of the most glorious mustaches Nice is fascinating and intimidating not least because of all the untranslated titles. I mean come on And with so many separate industries nice to make the biggest film producing nation in the world The water is way deep. So I ask you our viewers for movie Absolutely, that was cute I spent the past week watching as many Indian films as possible and I'm here to give you my first impressions Cool, specifically about the three biggest film industries in India Hindi cinema of Bollywood, normal cinema of Hollywood, Italian cinema of Hollywood and tell you which films I think you should watch Bear in mind, I'm a total amateur when it comes to the cinema of India So what I'm saying are almost purely my anecdotal experience with minimal research With that out of way. Thank you for that disclaimer journey through the colorful world of Indian cinema Cool, I'm excited to learn To an average foreigner Bollywood is practically synonymous with cinema of India Hollywood Jollywood there's a million names for it. We're calling it Bollywood because it sums it up nicely That's not gonna make anybody mad now This is both a blessing and a curse Ega there is a good chance that what's in your head right now isn't actually from Bollywood Yes, none of those Bollywood actually specifically refers to the Mumbai film industry, which produces mostly Hindi language films Good job. These films are relatively grounded and romantic great one. It is similar to Hollywood musicals I don't know that I would say relatively grounded the action classic from India And you won't find any gravity defying actions Love was the defining theme of classic Bollywood Practically every body especially in the 90s romance of some kind such as 1995 DDLJ Heck yeah It's a movie about a girl falling in love with a boy and with the boys help fight It sounds cheesy, but that's Bollywood for you It's gloriously cheesy It's a very cozy viewing experience It's all about knowing the outcome and excitedly waiting for it to happen and trains Now I said love was the defining theme because in recent years Bollywood seems to be diversifying Dangal for example steps away from the melodrama formula This 2016 movie is the story of a father training his daughters to become sports wrestlers And in the process challenges Indian gender traditions bricks gender norms It is a beautifully written film and became a bit of a gender equality piece in Asia You can certainly saw your body with journey with Dunga, but really when it comes to Bollywood, there is one movie we all know of And that's the first that's the first one we ever watched. No, it's not. Yeah, well, I was thinking in theater You're right. You're right between free engineering students Fraternity beer music format The college experience is really universal Bowman Arani, not there but an excellent entry movie Yet underneath this cozy exterior the film is actually an intense criticism on the Indian education system Yep, and success culture. Yes a culture that drives a lot of research so far my man Even if the passion is with say photography If you haven't noticed all of the best Bollywood movies have have on your car And afford a range marriage sexism, but usually these movies don't explore these films deeply They are at all cozy little entertainments, but free. It's one there. Yes, and beyond nearly every sequence Satellizes the education system in some way First It sees the absurdity in the system and this would it with a laughter No doubt many of us were forced by our parents into studying something we didn't want to especially in the Asian community In a highly competitive schooling system destroying ourselves Seeing our character confronting his father about this. It is touching Yeah, it's a wonderful scene Through this film's endless wisdom, we get to experience the lives and I always forget Madhavan and Karina Kapoor and that We saw it so long ago. We aren't just sightseeing We get to know how the people of India perceive themselves. We get to know India That's why I think three days is the best movie to get into Bollywood cinema Wouldn't argue. That's how we got into it So it's a beautiful clock. It's it gives you old school and new school Yeah, I think today's sponsor Nord VPN for making this video never seen that movie Pinging so many films isn't easy while I speak English mostly fine I still find it easier to read subtitles in Chinese which isn't always available in Netflix Yes streaming services.

And with that in mind The movie I want to talk about is super deluxe not an obvious choice, but it is so good and so it is to us I have to share it Super deluxe is a 2019 black comedy It's a perfection style and fallacy film where many stories intersect in one story Five teenagers gather to watch porn only to find out the actress is one of the teens mom. Hey, no Well, that's just the beginning though, so I'm still Let the movie tell the story waiting for the read that happens at the blackberry getting the first five minutes It's now a woman. Okay. Now you're not giving away a little too much twist In both cases we see characters unable to accept a shocking review And that was all just the setup it only escalates from here This movie sees the humor in these people's self-pity As if they are the one suffering Well, guess what the only one who isn't suffering is the kid The innocent child who sees no problem with his death being a woman. He just asks his questions and tries to understand I With highly sarcastic humor the film post fun at people's obsession with family reputation All that anguish came from their own prejudice against others It's a very dense movie with a lot more going on than what I just summarized It's normal to get confused by this film, but that is part of fun If you are into more indie art house counterculture stuff Super Deluxe is with no exaggeration One of the best movies I've ever seen in my life and also one of the most beautiful This is literally every frame of painting the ones recommended by our audience are generally more reserved business drama Family drama the drama is hidden in the undercurrent that doesn't appear to be the case for telugu films For Hollywood action is the drama for a walkie-supra your movie like eager To a serious crime action flick the action is well imagined And it is as impressive as a story driven the edge is on full display Look at Dunga a Bollywood sports flick the drama happens mostly in training each match is less about the action itself And more about the subtext and implication all except the climactic last match Compared that to Jersey the 2019 telugu film about a 36 year old retired Cricketer trying to get back into the game The film pays equal attention to the personal drama as well as the development of each match Jersey takes a great deal of time to let each game plays out Revelling in its form and spectacle. It is a drama film and an action film But really when it comes to the telugu action, there is only one movie in our mind Baobali is a 2015 fantasy epic about an exiled king returning to claim his throne The action in this movie is second to none You'll find plenty of gravity-defying stuff here That's a drowsy movie done with just enough drama and gravitas that it never quite becomes shockingly silly Something that even a sequel couldn't quite manage goes to show how difficult this style really is Yet in this film, there are also romantic themed extravagant songs and dances very a simple good versus evil As well as the shop and gritty drama. It has a little bit of everything The titular Baobali is a fun character too. Guess what makes him the God's chosen one What makes him a great king that everyone loves We see him willing to sit beside slaves and share a meal We see him spare an innocent sacrificial animal and chooses to use his own blood as an okay Let's we see him moves the lingam to the waterfall a sacrilege to any common man Just so his mother can do less hard work He's a good king because he's willing to challenge unnecessary traditions for the good of the common people I'm sensing a film here If you are more interested in the crazier side of Indian cinema and let's be honest who isn't Baobali is the go-to film Is crazy, but serious is creative, but traditional It has all the good things you would expect from an Indian production on this channel whenever I bring up modern day Indian movies I usually show This movie I can't pronounce it purely because it has some fantastic visuals and Every what was it? I didn't see it be at least Prem Ratan. We haven't seen it After I sat my ass down and seriously watch some Indian movies, I think I can finally see why It's fun to indulge in a well-finished Okay, so nothing is quite as satisfying as seeing an underdog hero wins In my journey to experience the films of India I saw a nation of industries that belongs to the common folk Indian cinema challenges the rich, the powerful, the authority, the corruption, the prejudice, the regressive It is a forward-thinking art form with eyes looking into a better future And that is the best part of this journey It inspires me to be better, to do better, to make things better And my journey into the cinema of India has only just begun Good hope for somebody who Kind of gets it. Well, and his articulation and vocabulary is quite strong for Not being a native English speaker. Yeah And very insightful just a couple of moments that were a bit too much of the sharing of the story Well, it's I don't know how many you don't strike me as a person who's ever really watched a video essay Right never of a movie like Pulp Viction Video Essay. So they're basically they're not just review They're not reviews. They literally delve deep into okay what each thing means Then a little disclaimer about spoilers. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't horrific. It just got a little bit sherry. Yeah Yeah, but I don't know how many movies you watched. It seems like you watch a decent amount. Yeah At least five it looks like yeah And you got a pretty good grasp I wouldn't say that there's one industry that really I mean Malayalam industry I would say which you didn't explore from here. Yeah, I would encourage you to yes Very much kumbalan genites. Please do that But in terms of like I wouldn't say each industry has one specific thing I they all have stereotypes and he was like because he said Bollywood is a little more Grounded now, so that's not always true and it's just it's cuz that's his first impression. Yeah. Yeah, and I get that yeah But like Tolugu there's so many like obviously if you watch at Roger Mouly films and he has a lot of the biggest hits in the Tolugu film industry understandably In going away thinking that's all Tolugu film is right No, that's just the wonderful mind of SS Rush Mouly His extravagant brilliance in his head But then you have like now you can you say that Canada film industry is I was not That was on my mind was the Canada film industry and they're not predictable They've done big Tolugu we Raj Mouly style blockbustery things. They've also done stuff. That's Reminiscent of what Malayalam industry. Yeah, and then you got our house in Marathi in Bengali, right? Explore such it right and how he's influenced me. It'd be I I don't think I Still don't feel confident enough to do a full video essay on Indian cinema. Just like I just feel like I am continually learning But I thought he did a very good job in terms of like for for somebody who's never seen it Yes, he gave some good recommendations of what people should start with and whoever gave him the recommendations of what to watch where they those were great recommendations and Clearly is Somebody that loves cinema and has insight into cinema and can look at broader pictures and make a general assessment I loved his disclaimer at the front. Yeah, I thought that was wise. Yeah, and so ultimately I think this is a really nice take away on the first impressions It'd be interesting to try to do like a video essay And then I don't know if I could do a video essay on Indian cinema as a whole because there's because the amount of knowledge that we have now it's like What do I talk about? How long is this video gonna be because you can't talk about Indian cinema without talking about such it Right, you can't talk about Indian cinema without talking about old-school Bollywood and and and what and its influences I'm a tech box John and really and it's like it's it's like any a converse con It's like any conversation I have with someone here who wants to be introduced to Indian cinema. I I have to ask them What is your knowledge of it and what kind of films do you like? Yeah, because depending upon the kind of film you enjoy I'm there who if if they're the kind of person who says I want to see something You know over the top Ridiculous that'll make me laugh has a good story. Okay now. We're narrowing it down We and we could do any of those things in virtually all the industries Yeah, so yeah, it really depends on the audience because everything comes out of Indian cinema in my film club We there's like seven to ten of us and every week we watch a different film who that the next person recommends I've recommended a few Indian films. They've watched the lunchbox. They've watched Kumballanji nights. They've watched ugly. They've watched Super Deluxe. No, oh Ramleela And I saw our they obviously watched our But the he recommended some that I'm considering for my next pick because I want them to explore like Are you ready for DDLJ? Right because that is That's an acquired taste. It's but it's also essential. It's essential knowledge. You know what it is, please Kind of like hajmola You need to experience it because it's so central to what's going on But you need to I don't think you should just sneak that up on somebody. Yeah, no, no, yeah that Super Deluxe is very high and I I think that if you're a film lover, you're probably gonna enjoy that one And I said aside from as well I what's what's the one in Bengali cinema because whenever we mentioned Bengali with 70% of what we've seen has been Satya Jitrai. Yeah, but what was the name of the film? We love so much that had the story of the two guys Love I don't remember it, but yeah, that that would be my first right now of what we've seen if someone wanted to see a Contemporary Bengali film. Yeah, that would be my first. Yeah, I would I would say so So I think if I ever did like a video as in I don't know that I ever will it's just I would have to do it based off of each Industry because there's so much History obviously we are and stars more. I I wouldn't say we are more knowledgeable than Indians But I would say we're more knowledgeable than most And non-indians most non-indians I'd say probably the 1% of people that are knowledgeable Unless they're doing what we do in terms of so like jabby as you know Yeah, yeah, yeah, but people who who aren't exposed to this Jimmy Jimmy Yeah, or or of example someone who's immersed for decades like Mark Bennington But so like I'd say we know more than than most yeah non-Indians correct More than maybe some Indians if they haven't explored other Industries I know Indians who talked to me about it here and don't know about the channel are flabbergasted They were flabbergasted in the first year of the channel of the films We'd already gotten exposed to yeah, so yeah, we do know more than the average bear, but I agree with you and he kind of a Deep dive it couldn't just be the totality of Indian cinema Being too difficult and it'd be too many things left out. Yeah, it's like a five-hour video Exactly cuz like you can't talk to give an hour to each industry and can't fives on it Yeah, man, I guess you could you could do like here's all the industries and here's all the history that we know of right now I guess what we could do, but we also haven't seen enough. You know what we could do We could each choose an industry that we would like to do an essay about Yeah, maybe and do two different essays about that industry. Maybe Yeah, it's interesting. Obviously, it's a it's definitely a lot of work Yeah, a lot of the work is also just seeing the films and we've already seen the films, but it's great video So I thought a very good introduction. So hats off to accented cinema on being well researched and please keep exploring Explore the Mali Alam industry, please It's a it's a fantastic Marathi, Canada, Canada, Bengali. Yeah, there's a couple things. We've watched in a psalm Yeah, oh, yeah, there's that's another one that I'm considering Amos for everyone we've seen yeah some ways we've long we've seen from a psalm has been absolutely incredible Yeah, anyways, let us know you thought about the video essay and what other videos we can watch down below
