"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
@tom jay comedy is an art form, therefore satire is art as well. I think he means to say that this is just part of what he normally does and no more or less art than his other productions. I might be wrong though
I'll be totally honest; the reason I'm subscribed to Neel Kolhatkar is for these, and I was wondering if any of these would keep coming. Thank you, Neel. Drop one every year or two, and I'll be happy.
Here: My interpretation: The group at the start were "right" wing, y'know how they don't like outsiders and want to be punished by God. Neel's character was definitely in some kind of relationship with the first leader, yet if they were Christian they probably thought a homosexual relationship was to be covered up. The dark haired girl (the one who first left) was a Center-Left who after gaining power became a Far Left. The short, brown haired girl was a Center-Right who after gaining power will probably become a Far Right. Neel and the other guy with the mustache are representations of the crowd, how they constantly shift (just to seem popular). I also see a pattern with how the short, brown haired girl in the beginning was very absent, then became the outcast, and finally became the leader. When she was outcast Neel was seen being very absent and also robot like. I predict that eventually if the film went on for longer that it would show Neel become the outcast, then leader. And then the guy with the moustache would then be the absent one, and follow the cycle. That I believe is why this film is titled Circle, because it is commenting on how the circle of opinion shifts. It is also called Circle because of the way each person fits in with the group. I also believe this is why the dialogue was repetitive. Also there were five main positions for the characters to be in, and the switch out of, these are: • The Leader (the person with the crown) • The Admirer (the person presumed to have a crush or imitation of the Leader) • The Absent (the person who mindlessly repeats the group) • The Outcastee (the person who stands up and then finds the Outcast) • The Outcast (the previous leader who was kicked out)
@@ronxinator9050 That's a very good summary! One could interpret that we too are living in such circles (only with more complex character-concepts) that make true political change impossible. And since the whole process failed due to a lack of acceptance (or the ability to make compromises) it might be meant as a warning sign for our society: As you said: Both circles represent rather populistic beliefs from the different sides of the political spectrum and are fare from perfect. So one could say that we should learn from this video by being open for different opinions and able to make compromises. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong here.
@@ronxinator9050 I think the outcast represents the far left/right, who claims to bring the truth. They radicalize the person that was sent away from the group for asking reasonable questions. Because no one engages with these questions (asking the questions is seen as racist/unchristian), they seek the truth outside of the group, and fall victim to extremists. So I think another aspect of the video is how the lack of civil discourse (being able to question ideas without being demonized) leads to radicalization.
i love how it shows the way people will react. neel starts off as the zealous follower, but after the first leader is taken of his pedestal, he becomes like the woman on the other side of him, silent and complacent, since he hasn't adapted his mindset to be popular, or is trying to lay low because of what he actually believes when the second leader comes. the first skeptic becomes the new leader who is controlling and has her own extreme ideas, sending away the now emboldened new skeptic, who thinks she can now voice her opinions, only to be shut down by the new zealot. and thus the social outcast is pushed out and finds the other social outcast, who due to being silenced, ridiculed and sent away, has become radicalized in his beliefs but needs someone else to say them since he has been censored. the two return and the complacent neel joins them and the zealot, desperate to be accepted or at least not be kicked out does the same.
Both represents the each of the very extreme point of the curve, and both does what they claim not to be doing; controlling. And in the end, true freedom lies within each of us, not by following which others think was right.
The message politically is extremes bever work out. To be truly free you need tk balance tbe center line to ensure the utmost freedom for each person while never outright stripping rights from one in favor of another and not granting rights to ine that would completely impede on the rights of others. It is a balancing act down the middle of an incredibly complex system we call society. This is why you cannot have pure socialism or pure capitalism or pure authoritianism or pure anarchy. The middle offers the most to freedom to everyone but nevee absolute freedom to one group or person as it could interfere with the fteedom of others. Best is to negotiate and make concessions and meet in the middle for the benefit of all.
@@dheibeljr Thats not the solution either. No matter what policy or system is in place, you will have fervent followers and dissenters. The problem is the reluctant follower who feels trapped and oppressed (for previously supporting the previously toppled leader/ideology) but just wants to survive so he/she just goes along with whoever is in power.
Finally after long time one classic Neel video which perfectly represent what I feel. And like all other videos of Neel, it will take few more years for UA-cam to recommend this video to others.

I had a very similar interpretation. My main difference was that ideology became cult like and any descenting opinions by either side were not liked or tolerated. Both denied science and medicine as it didn’t blindly support their cause (doctor and scientists were murdered).
Only thing I don't agree with is your talk about right this and left that. I think the first group we saw in this video represented medieval times. Where God was the most important thing of all, and "memento mori" was the main motto (remember that you will die) which is why few comments about suffering were made. It became clear when they were talking about burning people and accused the woman of being a witch. Then came the next circle which I believe represented the renaissance, the time where individualism became bigger, this became clear when the comment about everybody being the most important living being was made. Then they showed how this transcended into the society we are living in today
Brilliant short film , shows what happens when you run to far to one side, The guy in the forest , seemed to be a centralist, may lean to one side or the otherer , but he doesn't let that stop him from pointing out when both sides can go too far.
Love how it represents pseudo religions and cults. Swinging too far one way is just as bad as the other. It does an excellent job of confirmation bias and that no one wins in stuff like this.
@NewsFactScience speaking on behalf of Christians, I'd say it reflects a large portion of people who call themselves Christian but don't put any effort into actually following the teachings. They use it as a means to power or relief of conscience. In actuality someone who does follow the teachings wouldn't use the teachings for power or personal gain but to rather just serve and humble themselves. Majority of people who call themselves Christian don't do this.
@NewsFactScience there are literally answers for each of these in Islam, some of these are just false, some are changed, and some are metaphorical. And you can’t just call it fake cuz ‘you said so’
niceeeeeee one. I wonder then... if the first two philosophies are the extremes, is this third going to be a middle ground, or is she back to the extreme?
My take away from the video is that it's the reflection of the "Us vs Them" mentality that humans are so prone to doing. Where for the typical individual, they'll just swap one dogmatic view or another.
@@trashaimgamer7822 Not at all. It stems from days when that really was the case, which is why we evolved this way. I don't think the characters of the Old Testament are American.
Y'all, it's not just about two extremities. It's about _cancel culture_ and extremities. They discuss who they want their next victim to be, who they want to cancel. But then they end up just finding the flaws in each other, as we're all imperfect, and turning on each other. If you have even a slight difference of opinion to the one who's in charge of the group you have to leave. They think there is no middle ground. The other two just want to fit in with the ideals of the leader so as not to be cast out. The victim goes into the woods, or the rest of the world, searching for something to say or someone to take their side. When they come back, they are two victimized people verses one powerful leader, showing the significance that being a victim in society is leading the world towards, and that being a minority is an advantage. They make a bold claim against the society/leader controlling them, and it forces the rest of the group to take the side of the victims too. They "just want to be popular." They want to follow whoever has more power. So the leader steps down and is replaced, forced out because of a difference of opinion. It's a never-ending _circle._ People take the sides of common folks, not people in high power. That's a really creative way to portray this. Oh also, their clothes changed every time someone new came in power, to the clothes of the victim from before, showing conformity, and maybe even paying a tribute to those who were beaten down, like a memorial maybe. The memorials were torn down when the society no longer agreed with those principles. That's how I see it all at least, lol.
If you created a movie based on this, I would certainly pay for a ticket and watch it in the theatres. It uses satire to perfectly capture the imbalance of power dynamics in society. A lot of meaning can be unpacked from this video upon further analysis and I totally stand for that!
Though this may not have been the point, this video makes me appreciate Constitutional rights and how the U.S. was started, it gave everyone freedom to have their own opinions and power to elect those who held similar values. When you have a leader who wants everyone to be the same, or tries to enforce singular beliefs, there is more pushback and people want the control they have seen but lacked. It is less sustainable. Being able to live and work with people of differing views is so important for a functioning society, because a world where everyone is the same can't exist, the world stops moving/progressing if it's like that.
Great satirization of human history, though I don’t think it’s as simple as all zealousness being equally bad for us, but a great overall take on the real problem of our time and the past.
Oh god this is pure art, so simple but a perfect description of are current cancel culture and it's similarly to every previous version of it, wether it be the witch hunt or inquisition and crusade or just classical Soviet purges and Maoist culture revolution, this truly a master piece.🤩🤩
Here is my interpretation: The film is about politics but also human nature itself. Neel suggests these are inextricably linked, hence the continual failings of societies regardless of ideology. The first society alludes to religion or conservatism, perhaps the West before the enlightenment. It is depicted as an unjust society where people are openly hateful of outsiders and where this is no concept of human potential or the value of the individual. When the outcast returns, the followers are quick to join her despite their 'loyalty,' demonstrating that people will cling on to any idea or hope that there can be a better world, just like they were happy to cling on the idea of God so they could give themselves a purpose beyond the miserable reality of their world. The returned outcast becomes the leader and vows that people will be "free" in this new, happier world. But we are shown that even a world which claims to be built on love and tolerance cannot overcome the inherent hatefulness of human nature.The members of this society seem to derive their sense of purpose not from God, but from their senseless and all-consuming desire to 'love... [and] respect' those who are different. Ironically, they don't see that what they call "love" is actually the very control they claimed they would never exert on people, and what they call "protection and safety" is the shielding of people from the truth and the stripping of their resilience. In their attempt to protect the vulnerable and punish the bigoted, they themselves become the enemy. This could be a representation of the far left, or it could be an exploration of the idea that a society without hate cannot exist due to human nature. 'Never again will the people be so controlled,' 'I recognise this man,' 'you sound a lot like him...' The repetition of these phrases, the dull colours in the film and the way every new societies looks barely changed, down to the clothes; all this is used to tell us that nothing ever changes. We always want a better world, better lives, more love, more safety, but ultimately we become corrupted by power or blinded by idealism until, bam, the cycle repeats again.
Maybe better when compared to the Millennials or the Boomers, but definitely with more flaws then the previous generations in other respects. It's Kali Yuga dude. We need to accept that as evident truth. It's foretold in different ways in almost every religion and culture.
@@WolfCourtaud you now the saying that goes "hard time create strong men, strong men bring good times..." and so on? that is basically evident here, although i really don't know if gen z is on the uphill or the downhill (and no, one shitty year does not mean we are on the downhill)

Oh god this is pure art, so simple but a perfect description of are current cancel culture and it's similarly to every previous version of it, wether it be the witch hunt or inquisition and crusade or just classical Soviet purges and Maoist culture revolution, this truly a master piece.🤩🤩
We really do live in a society
That reminds me a lot of like, a good ton of religious and political groups
This type of video is what i subbed for
Cool.
This was really really good.
After 5 years , Noice!
Nailed it!
This is absolutely accurate, we tend to idolatrate someone or something, like god or influencers
Medieval times / renaissance and what came after
This was fantastic
I don’t understand any of this, I love it!
It goes on like a cycle.
I am waiting for next video ❤️
Here is my interpretation:
The film is about politics but also human nature itself. Neel suggests these are inextricably linked, hence the continual failings of societies regardless of ideology.
The first society alludes to religion or conservatism, perhaps the West before the enlightenment. It is depicted as an unjust society where people are openly hateful of outsiders and where this is no concept of human potential or the value of the individual. When the outcast returns, the followers are quick to join her despite their 'loyalty,' demonstrating that people will cling on to any idea or hope that there can be a better world, just like they were happy to cling on the idea of God so they could give themselves a purpose beyond the miserable reality of their world.
The returned outcast becomes the leader and vows that people will be "free" in this new, happier world. But we are shown that even a world which claims to be built on love and tolerance cannot overcome the inherent hatefulness of human nature.The members of this society seem to derive their sense of purpose not from God, but from their senseless and all-consuming desire to 'love... [and] respect' those who are different. Ironically, they don't see that what they call "love" is actually the very control they claimed they would never exert on people, and what they call "protection and safety" is the shielding of people from the truth and the stripping of their resilience. In their attempt to protect the vulnerable and punish the bigoted, they themselves become the enemy. This could be a representation of the far left, or it could be an exploration of the idea that a society without hate cannot exist due to human nature.
'Never again will the people be so controlled,' 'I recognise this man,' 'you sound a lot like him...' The repetition of these phrases, the dull colours in the film and the way every new societies looks barely changed, down to the clothes; all this is used to tell us that nothing ever changes. We always want a better world, better lives, more love, more safety, but ultimately we become corrupted by power or blinded by idealism until, bam, the cycle repeats again.
Fun to read comments.
Everybody is THINKING LOUDLY now.
Wondering what will be "Alpha Generation" like ?
Maybe better when compared to the Millennials or the Boomers, but definitely with more flaws then the previous generations in other respects. It's Kali Yuga dude. We need to accept that as evident truth. It's foretold in different ways in almost every religion and culture.
@@WolfCourtaud you now the saying that goes "hard time create strong men, strong men bring good times..." and so on? that is basically evident here, although i really don't know if gen z is on the uphill or the downhill (and no, one shitty year does not mean we are on the downhill)
Really great work! Very hard to find these days, too much pc
"I love suffering"
"Yes! I know you do"
This is one of the most brilliant pieces of social commentary that I've seen in recent times. So good to watch Neel's videos!
