Art Samaram and Popular Samaram
As in films, so in activism. " It is the form that is God all else,
including even the most arrogant, can only be His instrument.S/he who breaks
these laws will end up as an "art" film maker , forever banished from the
community of popular films. " (D R Nagaraj, " The Comic Collapse of
Authority")
He says, transgression is an essential component of popular cinema. To quote
him again,
"Songs and dance are the logical expression of a different notion of
morality: They are the ultimate expression of transgression".
Sanjeev, that's a brilliant coinage.. We are not Samskarika Nayakanmar but
Samskarika extras. We are no more playing second fiddle to 'art" heroes. {
Niankkonnum Veettil Chodikkanum Parayanum AArumille? question repeated
inSakshi as in that film!!.. Illedo...
njangal chorus pani nirthi!! nayakanmarkku vedi ozhiyanum bhavamilla..
Swantham script, swantham production...}
Can we joke at this time?
To rely one last time on Nagaraj,
"The comic vision is also employed to laugh at the self righteous belief in
the correctness of one's ideas."
Let us commence a discussion on the emergence of new genres in Politics?
