![Writing For Emotional Impact - Karl Iglesias [FULL INTERVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U9V4rEQnle8/mqdefault.jpg)
In India, it is commonplace to refer to elders (even strangers) as brother/sister, uncle/aunty, grandma/grandpa depending on the age gap simply out of respect. Infact, it is considered to be rude/impolite to call older people by their name in India, even if they are strangers. Its just a cultural thing. In this movie, Malli is not his blood sister, she is just another person from Bheem's tribe. Bheem calls Raju "Anna" or "Bhai" (which basically means brother in Telugu and Hindi languages respectively) as well several times in the film if you have noticed even though they never met each other before the events of the film.
its an eastern way of addressing relationships, much like any tribe acts like a church member who call each other brother or sisters
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out this explanation. That totally makes sense. We're going to add a correction in our video description. You're the best!
@@purplefudge8145 yeah but b/w church members they do call eachother by names, atmost they use brother and sister for other fellow members but they don't use uncle,aunty etc for unrelated members of their church, So in that way it's different.
Indian art arises from Natya Shastra written by Bharat Muni 3000 - 3500 years ago . In Natya Shastra it has been written that any theatrical performance should imbibe all the forms of art i.e, dance, music, acting at the same time and it should also display all the emotions of a human being, then only a play/ theatrical performance will be considered as complete. So our performances contain all the emotions - happiness, sadness, doubtfulness, fight scene, etc etc.
exactly! and it is still very visible in Indian movies
Yes, it's called "Navras" I believe which means Nine Expressions in Sanskrit
@@TanayaAmar yah you absolutely correct, otherwise many people believe it means 9 juices 😂😂😂
Possibly the best comment of all the internet conversation about "masala" and "multi-tonal" etc complaints about Indian cinema.
Loved your analysis. A side note, one of things not discussed was symbolism in the movie. They are spread around the movie like golden nuggets. For example the boy saving scene with national flag involved summarizes the entire movie in that shot before the movie even begun. The title card came after that scene. The boy represents the malli the bheem is trying to save which Ram help save later in movie while the flag represents the country pride that Ram is trying to save which Bheem later helps Ram save. There are many more such as that throughout the movie.
You're absolutely right-there was a lot of awesome symbolism throughout. Also interesting how there's the fire and water motif throughout, and how fire and water both played into the boy saving scene in particular (needed water on the flag to keep him safe from the fire) ...Very cool stuff!
The end of the interval fight scene returns to elements of their first meeting (with various elements inverted):
In both scenes, Bheem and Raju are connected by a thread, with a child in peril beneath them.
In the first, they work together; in the second, they are working in opposition to each other.
The foundation of Indian cinema is human emotions and the brilliance of a director is how many and how well he/she weaves it as core wire through out the movie. The emotions such as love hate happiness sadness triumph defeat victory failure trust distrust and others are some which are prominent in every masala movie. The purpose of the Indian movie is not to fit a genre mold but to entertain the person who has spent the money to buy the ticket in every possible way and whatever it takes. There is something for everyone type of person coming to watch the movie. If you see it this way, you can see why RRR is what it is.
I can totally see that. RRR was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way with something for everyone!
RRR- The most entertaining Flick From EARRRTH
Insanely epic Action thriller
Epiccccccness on GOD level
Gobsmacking surrealist Theater experience i EVERRR had
It was so much fun!!! Can't imagine seeing it in a theater-that must've been a blast
These types of Indian movies where the movie includes multiple different genres in one movie is called masala movies. Masala means blend of spices, so the movies are like a blend of genres. The idea behind these movies is to make the movie appeal to the widest range of audiences, so it includes something from each genre which different people will enjoy. But not every Indian movie is a masala movie, some stick to one genre and tone throughout.
I hadn't heard that before, thank you for sharing!
I think you missed the subtle fire-water refernces used many times in the movie. Also, what really invested the viewers more was acting and facial expressions of protagonists and supported by relevant background score (best seen in prison escape scene)
What an interesting discussion. RRR was a really fun movie which lead me to watch a lot of videos centered on specific topics like the background music, the cinematography, how to introduce your villain, there one about the use of silence on this movie, all great stuff
This is not bollywood movie Adam. This is a a Tollywood movie belong to south of india
That's our bad, you're totally right! Thank you for the correction :)
This needs to be emphasized.
We need to get rid of the ‘wood’ unless it is attached to you 😂
MAHABHARATHA and RAMAYANA. These are the two Indian epics you need to read to learn many screenplay lessons wrt Human conflicts and Decision Making. They are our Illiad or Odyssey. Thank me later. Cheers!!
Iliad and odyssey is like kid in front of MAHABHARAT . Forget about Ramayan .
It's perfect for young screenwriters
I am enjoying you guys talking Indian film. And just a correction, there was actually just one dance song in the actual movie. Then the one in the end credits. There is are songs but it's more of part of the background soundtrack.
You're totally right! We were thinking of the recurring song throughout, that Malli sings and then later Bheem sings, but that's not a dance song.
SARDAR UDHAM (2021) is the best bollywood movie ever made. IMDB 8.4. Mark my words you will not forget this movie. It will break your stereotype regarding indian movies that they are only song and dance and fun. It will impact your top 10 movie list of all times.
Watch Bahubali 1 & 2 by the same director and symbolism in this movie is just mind boggling specially for Hindus or the persons who read Indian scriptures . But as an American it has many symbolism and nuances which you can feel connected . Watch it . Rajamouli himself said it many times that no matter how many movies I make Bahubali will not be defeated .
Nice talk guys
Thank you, Avish!

Nutshells off RRR MOVIE
(Rise -Roar -Revolt) released in more than 10languages across the world..
Telugu is original version
TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY,(Tollywood), Hyderabad City (Bhagyanagari),2 Telugu States ,India. (Telangana n Andhra Pradesh states)
1) seeta rama raju from andhra pradesh and Komuram bheem from telangana statess, in history both of them Raju and bheem were from same timeline but never met each other in reality, in original history they both went missing for 4 years during this 1920 time period, no one knows where they went and what they did, but after 4 years they both returned to their villages and fought their own fights and both sacrificed their lives for our country, Director rajamouli hv woven a fictional story that what happens if they met each other, and exchange their ideas and ideologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule,
deologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule,
2) whole story concept revealed instantly with an a logic instant ideas applying to the scenes,
On Train blast incident, Ramraju catches a flag (a strong will for freedom mission resembles a Flag) n Komuram Bheem save a child (resembles as saviour of child to get back mission of Bheem ) exchange by them their missions
2) In RRR we find the performances of english actors far better, that's because rajamouli approached professionals, the one who played Scott is "Ray Stevenson" one who acted in "Thor" movies, one who played lady Scott is "Alison doody" the lead actress from indiana jones....
3) When ram captures bheem's clan member, he catches a snake n attacks ram even though he is tied, that man catching the snake is justified coz they r gond tribals, they know everything abt every animal, how to trap and catch them, n how to treat animal attacks using natural ayurvedic remedies, since they were born n brought up in jungle along with those animals n plants, that's how even jr NTR is able to tame n control the animals during interval sequence....
That song jr NTR sings while being whipped "komaram bheemudo", few non indian and north indian audience may find the song lil distasteful because they r unaware of the importance of the song, the gond tribe (the telangana people) who faced many tortures under the nijam rule, hv developed a habit of singing folklore songs explaining their pain n oppression for years, these songs kind of made those people stronger n revolt against nijams, similarly at the end of the song people revolt, even now a days these songs r famous in Telangana area, we andhra n telangana people r familiar with such songs, but north indian n non indian audience may not hv any idea abt it, even the song komaram bheemudo was written by one of the famous revolutionary singer from telangana area, if u concentrate on the lyrics of the song we can feel the oppression his people r facing....
4) the subtext or easter egg about the "Barbed whip" that lady scott threw to torture jr NTR is that in the climax when the Scott's empire blows up when lady scott died we can see her body hanging in "Barbed wires" implying that she finally got what she deserved.... "karma is a bitch"🤭🤭🤣
5)near the climax when jr NTR knocks on the floor to find ram who was imprisoned in the ground, he actually knocks the same beats of Nacho Nacho song, so that only ram charan could recognise it's him rather than other possible prisoners, ram charan also reciprocates by knocking the same beat of nacho nacho, even in the earlier scene when ram charam is bit by snake he plays the same beats to communicate with jr NTR, the cinematic brilliance of rajamouli for using a song in so many ways giving easter eggs all the way around is lit🔥🔥🔥 hatsoff to rajamouli 🙏
6) In a scene where they show the security measures of the palace they had 2 doors at entrance, only after closing the 1st door they will open 2nd door, if we observe both the doors clearly and also if we listen to the creek sounds of both doors, we would know the outer door is a wooden one, and the inner door is a metal one, so to rescue malli they can break the outer door but they can't break the inner door, that's the reason y the character jhangu climbs a tree and listens for the 2nd door to open to rescue malli in interval scene... Every small detail in this movie is well planned and well executed...
7) the scene about bheem carrying ram in the climax sequence may seem a bit overemphasized, but even earlier in the film in dosti song there was a shot giving easter eggs, where we can see jr ntr doing squats on the ground lifting ram charan, then ram charan does pull ups holding a tree branch, this way rajamouli is planting an idea subconsciously to his audience that jr ntr got lower body strength n ram charan got upper body strength... So that audience get convinced during the climax scene where bheem carries ram... Even the scene seems physically impossible, rajamouli never hesitates to show his ideas n imaginations in the mostmost convincing way possible, that scene may be impossible but u could never find any other director pulling of such a scene in any film like rajamouli... Respect....
8) The same way In climax fight sequence bheem lifting a bike looks over the top for sure, but do u know those bikes were actually used during second world war time so that in any unforeseen situation during war the soldiers can actually carry the bikes, those bikes weight around 55kgs only, i agree that even 55 kg bike travelling at 50kmph velocity is difficult to be lifted... But look at the way it was imagined, presented,picturized, the mesmerising cinematography in that scene, the kind of goosebumps it gave us, we should watch the movie for its epicness, rather than being nitpicky about everything....
9) At the climax that transformation of ram charan🔥🔥, many people thought that was sree ram's avatar, there are many indian purana's references to the movie for sure but its not only sree ram's avatar, it is also about the original look of Alluri seeta rama raju (the freedom fighter ram charan was playing), alluri seeta rama raju in history was well learnt man who wears those kashayam clothes fights with bow n arrows, probably the best archer india has ever had, he fought against britishers he got weapons n guns by attacking police stations n british camps, he used the same weapons to attack britishers with his trusted men... Even he was shot dead bybritishers in the freedom struggle... Legend says that britishers put around 100 bullets in his body n ruthlessly killed him... At the end of the film rajamouli showed ram n bheem in their original looks ram wearing kashayam clothes, with long hair n beard, bheem with a pagdi on his head n those clothes gond people used to wear...
10) the final RRR fact, For the interval sequence with animals rajamouli shot for around 65 nights, each night they spent around 75lakhs for the shoot itself... In that interval sequence they had to imagine animals were there n fight accordingly, for that to happen n so that each n every background artist to be in sync with the CG animals rajamouli employed different tactics while shoot
a) for bear they used a person wearing green blanket, since the movement of bear is slow similar to a human being...
b)For shots with tiger, tiger moves much faster than humans, so they can't just place a human with green blanket, so rajamouli positioned laser lights following the head position of the tiger, so that camera man n actors can imagine the position of tiger n act accordingly.
c) for wolves they used dogs which were trained to catch a ball, while shooting the sequence they randomly throw the balls in middle of men, so the dogs chase the balls, in that way rajamouli captured peoples reactions to wolves, later on during CG he replaced the dogs with wolves...
d) for other fast moving animals like deers, they used remote controlled cars moving in between the actors....
n many more...
...
Bro u are amazing . Even I was unaware of komuram bheemudo's importance.
Try to watch bahubali 1 and 2 from the same director of rrr it has amazing characters

*"RRR" Was An Indian film, Then It's Box Office Collection Was $160 Milloin, imagine, If it Was A Hollywood(In English) film, Then it Was Seen All Over The World, Then How Much Would it's Box Office Collection.* 🤔
*Imagine S S Rajamouli With The Budget Of Marvel Films, That Guy Will Create The Greatest Movies Ever.* 🤔
Yeah , just imagine if marvel movies level budget would have used in Bahubali !!! Watch Rajamouli previous interviews he himself said it many times that he had budget constraints , he wanted many things to do but because of limitations in terms of budget wise he couldn’t able to do . Just sad .

So it'll probably benefit the world if all these indian industries unite to become ONE INDIAN Cinema. I've seen several of the movies above and a lot of it (stories, VFX, etc) can compare and at times much better than Western Cinema. Its so uniquely indian it feels always new and refreshing.
Thanks so much for this information-we're going to remember it for the future!
Maybe a better example than Brad Pitt -- many of John Travolta's best movies add an iconic dance number.

Actually the story writer wrote this movie keeping RAM as the protagonist in mind, later the director thought of doing a multi starrer and altered the script and added another character bheem to get going.
Did he call and tell you?
@@050138 no, he mentioned it in an interveiw
Can you please analyse The Indian Movie '3 Idiots'? Dont sulk, you will not regret watching it. (Its so good i dont like analysing it lmao)
Malli was not bheems real sister
That's our mistake! Thank you for letting us know-totally makes sense in retrospect!
Plz Watch "24" (Best Indian Time Travel Movie)
I'm so tired of telling you Westerners that nobody in this film is related to each other! The 'Brother' and ' ' 'Sister' are merely terms of respect. I mean, does Malli's mom look old enough to be Bhim's mother?! Doesn't Bhim also call Rama 'Brother'? Viewers and reviewers from Eastern cultures get this instinctively!
*Hi, I have a suggestion for you, Create More A New UA-cam Channel And Start Making Reaction Videos On Movies, Songs, etc.*
*Believe Me, Your Subscribers Will Be In Millions.*
*_There is a lot of demand for reaction channels these days._*
*Many UA-camrs Started Reaction Channels and Now They Have Millions Of subscribers.*
*if you think of making the channel, then tell me by Replying in the comment.*
Thanks so much for the suggestion. We've gotten a couple of requests for this, we're going to talk about it! If we do, what movie do you think we should start with?
@@YoungScreenwriters do let us know what kind of genres you like .if you liked RRR..then i would suggest the director's previous work Bahubali 1 and 2 (both are separate movies but one single story) and also his 2012 film "Eega" which is a revenge story of a man who is reincarnated as a fly (crazy as it gets..never thought i would feel for a fly)
*start with (Lagaan 2002) movie*
There are many more good stories in Indian cinema.
I hated this movie so much
👇Important things to note👇
0:45 .. NOT "one of the .. " .. India IS the BIGGEST Movie Producer in the world .. On avg 1800+ movies are made in India per year ... that is more than 2x times entire North America
6:03 .. RRR is NOT 'B0llywood' .. and it is NOT a "genre" .. B0llywood is an unofficial media given term for just one of the 20+ different film industries in India .. B0llywood is also NOT a "single genre" of films .. there is every type of genre/style of movie made in B0llywood and India in general .. not just the songs+dance stereotype that is prevalent in Western minds about Indian films.
do you ever generalise entire h0llywood with single genre .. like seeing Fast and Furious and generalising and defining entire H0llywood to be similar to Fast & Furios .. understand how stupid that sounds ?
22:30 .. C0l0nial Br!ts were 10x times more ev!l than shown in movie ... you might find it silly because you have grown up on mostly western cinema which has always largely sheltered you from Reality of Br!ts .. You guyz always & only talk about Nɑz!s .. but for many Asians/AFricans .. C0l0nial Br!ts were no different than Nɑz!s .. there are literally tons and tons of big ev!l events that westerners are just ignorant about ... to catch a tiny glimpse REALITY .. just go and watch the recent movie Sardar Udham Singh (2021) .. Its a serious historical drama (no song/dance or over-the-top things) .. it deals with a dark event that happened around the same era that RRR was set in.
