Discussion on Film Reviews and Characterization

So, the film

Some reviews about its length and story

are coming out negative. So how would you answer those?

It's only appearing in reviews. I don't have a major problem with those who've watched it.

Yes. How exactly do you take these

two things?

I mean, it's okay. I mean, as for reviews,

as far as I know, I've never seen a film that didn't get negative reviews.

For one thing— they keep saying something or other about every film.

I don't know whether they say it just to say something. Every film has its own nature.

Every story has a subject to convey.

Thinking everything should be the same, that everything should follow the same template

isn't correct. So, many in the audience

don't have those complaints. The kind they're discussing in reviews.

Then who are the reviewers? Why, why do they say things in a particular way?

I don't know.

Hmm.

So my sincere request to the audience, approach any film with a fresh perspective.

You should.

Mm. Without any expectations.

Ah. You can have expectations. Based on the teaser, trailer, whatever you feel,

go by that

and go to the movie. Whether you liked it or not is obviously your—

personal opinion.

You should have your own opinion. But another reviewer, he's also an audience member, right?

So don't carry his opinion with you.

Because you're spending money, you're spending time.

So don't enter a theater to watch a movie based on someone else's opinion.

Mm.

If you liked the trai— trailer, go with

that conviction.

Go with that and watch the movie. Whatever you felt, share it with your friends.

Share it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Mm.

Rather than, because there is a reviewer, taking hold of the words he said

and thinking, “That must be correct,” don't go watch a movie that way.

Mm.

That's my opinion.

And whether it's your Sam, Sam Sing Rai, or now

Ranabali, the way a hero's characterization is

That is, no matter how heroic he is outside, he

melts like ice before the heroine, that is what we see.

And the lyric about him being her servant comes to mind.

So why has that characterization been like that from the beginning?

Like that?

Is it the environment you grew up in?

Do you always have it in your mind to give women that place?

From my perspective,

personally, I believe that

I mean,

masculinity, heroism, or manhood is worthless if you

cannot

respect your woman.

Hmm.

Otherwise, if you cannot love her, there is no greatness in it.

That's the beauty of it. No matter how much masculinity you have, if you

cannot balance it with your femininity,

there is

no greatness in it. So for me, a hero is a hero when

he is,

He respects his

woman.

So your ideology is very different, sir.

And the way you tell stories is also very different.

How much

violence there is, how much storytelling there is,

and exactly that love

moments and romance are balanced equally. So how is all this?

It's a matter of taste, I guess. That's just my taste.

I like to do it like that.

So it should be there. I mean...

I feel romance should be there.

Romance doesn't just mean romance in a love story.

Uh...

What do you call it? A person should be a romantic in life.

I mean, he...

He should enjoy the beauty in nature, enjoy beauty.

That's one part of life.

When that's absent, life becomes very dry. It shouldn't be that way.

So, when we make a hard-hitting film, there should be even more of this, in my

feeling.

Hmm.

So I write with that balance.
