Discussion on Life and Technology in Film

Maybe we're rejecting it.

Instead, I suddenly had a thought that came to me.

Oh, something just occurred to me.

This...

Let's see. You said the wiring is different now.

So finally, all the things we do, you...

Everything I do is for what? To eat food, to have a comfortable roof.

To spend time with our people, to buy what we need.

Now, if we

lived in a village and

did farming there or sold something,

no matter what we did, we would earn our own food.

We would have a house at that level, with our family and friends around us.

We would spend time with them. We would have been... We are working

for the same things.

Yeah.

But we have complicated our lives so much by creating...

Communication means comp-- Now, this guy earns ten million rupees.

Meaning,

I need to earn two, and if he has a house this big, I need a house this big

too.

Mm.

We've made ourselves slaves in a way, we're all just working.

By creating planes that can go to other countries.

Now, if I go to another country and get a job there,

do shoots

and stop at a certain level, we'd all be comfortable.

Now, one day while I was shooting,

there were horses, 15 horses on the set.

They were eating, swatting when mosquitoes came, and lying down.

We're shouting this way and that, a fight scene is happening, and I somehow…

A break has come, I'm watching. What are these horses?

They've been doing this for forty thousand years.

Yes, yes.

They eat the food people eat, and if they get a break, they run around and enjoy themselves.

They mate, and their life cycle continues.

Life cycle.

We

Now, for this film, a one-billion-rupee budget for the director

For my third film, I had to make a comeback, prove myself…

I had to do it

as redemption.

But our goal was to make a good film, not all this other stuff.

We built all this around ourselves, complicated it, and now there's this fight

over how it should be, this way or that way.

Like those horses, the rest of the world is as it is.

Yeah, as it is.

Only human beings.

Exactly.

We have added so many technologies, goals,

steps. I don't know what all this progress is for. Medical

progress, I understand.

Mm-hmm.

When we have improved the quality of life.

Mm-hmm.

That one kind of progress seems reasonable to me. That was needed.

It took away suffering, it took away pain

Mm-hmm.

from people's lives. Other than that,

none of the progress actually makes much sense to me.

Yeah.

But I think we, as a species, are, like,

very curious, and we constantly want to grow more,

expand more, know what else we can do.

But we have made life very complicated in this. All of us.

Now, how many students, how many...

Now that AI is coming, a...

A segment of the crowd is stressed that they will lose their jobs.

We created AI ourselves.

Mm-hmm.

If we create anything, it should be created to help us, but...

Making our own people jobless...

By doing all this AI, who will be happy?

Mm-hmm.

Some people will be happy.

Unless it's done in a way that everyone can be happy.

Mm-hmm.

The feeling that we only keep innovating and complicating our lives.

So I would be happy to go.

Go back to the eighteen hundreds.

Mm-hmm.

Life was not easy then.

Mm-hmm.

The rough complications of that time were there.

Mm-hmm.

But...

But, but, it felt real. But maybe...

Thirty years later, this will feel more real than then.

Yes.

Already, when you open the internet, what's AI and what's real...

Yes, you don't know.

I can’t tell what’s correct news or what’s knowing.

Correct.

We’re already there, what will there be in 25 years?

We have to see what the situation is.

But that’s how human consciousness has evolved, right?

Mm.

God gave this opportunity only to us.

Mm.

This brain

To use

I mean, to keep doing this over and over and over, but finally, it's like the water cycle.

Everything comes back like this. Now everyone wants slow living.

They do.

Yes.

I mean, once they reach those peaks, next, they go for slow

living. Gradually, they build a small house

behind it.
