DESAM

i have few questions to the readers before they read this article.

1. do u think about your country and its growth

2. why you people celebrate independece day and republic day and i bet many of our indian are still not clear about the two adtes AUGUST 15TH AND JAN 26TH.
3. as the world knowzs indians stay outside india in places like US,UK,EUROPE even in antarcitica but they dont like india, then why they present themselves as indians and i dont find any reason why they attend to indian associations and parties in states and in other countries.

remebering the native place for date of birth proof and remember the nation name to fill the nationality block in your job applications and many people remember their expiry date of the visa but they never try to recollect the history of india.

i dont ask them or request them to think about the country or to serve but i expect them not to pretend that they are serving the country and INDIA now is not in a state to be served.

when i was in seventh i read in my english text book that INDIA IS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY and when i passed 10th my teacher gave a lecture starting with the slogan INDIA IS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY and few days back i found an indan settled in london saying " you know india is still developing " and he laughed as if INDIA never develope unless he goes to the country.

very few know that it's developed and far better than many countries in the world.
according to me IT,SOFTWARE ect etc took peolpe to a state where they think they are the most intelligent people in the world.

DESAM my title of the article will suit for a MANI RATNAM'S film than for my lecture.

very few films take the oportunity to select the country to be the main subject.
RANG DE BASANTHI
LAGAAN
SWADESH

3 hours of film will makie popele get very excited and till they come out of the theater they are indians and after having a fag and a cup of tea they are still indians. many film producers think twice when they are asked to invest on a subject about country or freedom struggle or to describe the history of india. i dont see any mistake in those producers stepping back to invest money because WE THE PEOPLE show intrest and will be more excited about the dress color of MALLIKA or some other film actress than about the constitution of india. these days we need a love story in a film like ASHOKA or MANGAL PANDEY to desribe about the great kings of our country. i dont say any one to care about india and i pleed them to stay back there because life is worst if they come out of himalayas.i found many communities and many social organisations surving in the name of INDIA and according to them india is an underdeveloped country and now they are the people who are developing it.

the world feels pround to have a country like INDIA which has many religions, states, languages but we quarell each other and fight for their own religious rights with board written HUMAN RIGHTS. i have a question, what would be the position if A RIGHT TO KILL was written in our constitution or A GUN was given to a farmer.
a farmer kills his land lord with gun and a land lord kills the head of the village from there it continues till INDA is dead after that a film will be realesed and this time its sharukhs turn, RED CHILLIES ENT "REBIRTH OF INDIA" and a software engineer will watch the film on his so called friday night corporate show and a doctor watches the film in his day off and a layer on his court holiday.


i think people who read this still remember INDIA and if they forget and try to recollect i request them to forget.


i promiss, i will make "DESAM" on the big screen which makes people to see the MAP OF INDIA after going home and this time you will see a slogan DEVELOPED INDIA.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH AN ACTOR

Mr.PRANEETH is my close friend and in a very short time we became very close which made to make "SUFFERING SAINT" my first short film.

without having any knowledge how to make a film, myself and my friend SAI PRAKASH (producer and cinematographer for the film) took a big step of making a film.
SAI sent few pics of PRANEETH to my mail and i was just thinking what reply should i give and i relied him that i recieved the pics and will call him in the evening.
the first time i saw him i thought he doenst suit the charecter in the film but his body language exactly suited the charecter. i observed him for an hour when we had a coffe and the way he spoke to me about his life and personal feelings, i was impressed by his behaviour and i kept all other aspects or the qualities that an actor should have and decided to make a film for him.
now its my dudty to make him act and praneeth was not infront of the camera till that time. so its a big task for me to describe him the story and it took me many hours to confirm that he understood the story, still i have a doubt whether he got my points or he made the film because he is close to me.
we had many trials and day by day he got confidence and it helped me to put 100% effort to make the film.
when i saw him infront of the camera he looked very handsome and i saw the enjoyment in him while he ws in the set. he was very convinced by my way of narrating the story and i think he liked the heroine as well, he did a good job.
then i understood that any one can become an actor and how important the role of a director in the film is. the way the director narrates the story and the charecter so that the actor or actress understands it clearly and she or he plays the exact role which the filmaker thinks in his mind.
then i thought it was good for me to take him in the film which helped me to learn how to relate a person beside me to the charecter in my mind.

it was a good experience for me and as well as for him, i hope i will make another film with him and this time espicially for him.

u can find the links of the film at the end of the site and even the film story as well.

OM SHANTHI OM

i never speak about any film and i never write anything against a film because i think i am not the right person to judge a film.
yest i saw the most awaited film of the year "OM SHANTHI OM".I might have enjoyed the film if i would have seen it in INDIA but i had a very bad experience with Shah Rukh Khan's OM SHANTHI OM in LONDON.before the film i had lots of expectations on the film before its screening and the crowd in the theater made me more curious but the film became a disaster and a worst film i have ever seen. its all about a film which starts its making in 1970's and stops and SRK was a junior artist in that film and as the story goes onn heroine dies,SRK dies and he is again born in a film stars family and becomes a hero and recollects his past and you all can expect the film.
he again starts the shooting of the old film and releases in 2007 it is titled as
OM SHANTHI OM.
There is no fault in the storyline and the producer of the film GOWRI KHAN never compramised in the making.
i would be very happy if it was another KARAN ARJUN but we cant compare this flick with any other film.
Shah Rukh Khan can make better film if he comes out of the so called family in the bollywood.people got bored seeing RANI,KAJOL,TABU,AKSHAY KUMAR,SHILPA SHETTY in a song and it has become a ritual in SRK films, dancing with all the heroines of his old films. it looks good and the screen will be full of lights only once or twice but every time makes a boring song in the film. the director showed many good points in the film about the industry and kapoors family business but at last she made fun of bollywood and tollywood by showing how they make film. i felt it as a big draw back for the film. an actor should respect another and a director should respect other films irrespective of the money those films make.
if there is no SRK in this film i can sign in a blank cheque that there is no OM SHANTHI OM.

the film started very well as a recollection of the past then it slowly became a boring one and as the time passed it became funny at last the climax of the film made it a flop.

a dance director should do her job, a singer should sing, a dancer should dance and an actor should act all the above roles should be directed by a person who has grip in the story and screen play.
i think OM SHANTHI OM is not taken seriously by the actor and the producer and even the director.

INTERVAL!!!!!

15 min of interval in indian films, i think we can make another good short film or a documentry in that time.
why we need an intervalfor our films and i had a very bad experience in that break.
how a director decides when to give a break for the audience and what he expects the public to do in the break.
think about his film and if so do any one really bother abput the first half and wait for the second half, i dont think so.

first half and second half with an interval and i think now a days telugu film directors are very eager for the interval and if they don't have any continuty with the story the just write this on the screen.
i saw many people waiting for the interval to have a fag and a cup of tea, i saw few who are trying to run away from the theater in the gap.

and even coming to the point of directors, if the have two different stories ie one with village backdrop and the other in UK or US they mix both short film with this interval and call it as a big film.

S.S.Rajamouli is very famous for his intervals and he makes people very eager before 20 minutes of the break and he background music in his films before interval irritates many and makes some eefect on the mind and even i think he writes the story as if nothing is told before interval and many chareters are involed before 5 minutes of interval and according to mr.mouli and evevn many directors in south india think that they are creating a suspense for the public but they doesn't know that they are creating head ace for the people.
cant we make a 1 hr 30min film?
i think we can make another film in the break?
most of the film success talks come out in the break adn if any one says that the film is flop then no one can change the destiny of the film.

gates of the theaters open and people running to getinto the "q" for tickets and very eager to see the film and the same time many people running out of theaters from the back door.

THE 51st.....ANY INDIAN FILM........

Welcome to the Times bfi 51st London Film Festival, the capital's annual event celebrating the best in cinema from around the globe. Running this year from 17th October to the 1st November, the festival will play host to many local, national and international films, premieres, actors and directors.

Unlike the hyper-competative and sales-led environments of Cannes and Sundance, the London Film Festival is an altogether simpler affair, inviting members of the public to sample the films on offer. And the festival's timing puts it in the perfect position to pick early Oscar hopefuls; many of the films in the programme are already generating early buzz and for most in the UK it'll be the first and only chance to see them before the end of the year.

So it's with that in mind that RT-UK editor Joe Utichi and film critic Paul Anderson have been hitting the festival to cherry pick the twenty films from the festival you're likely to be hearing a lot about in the coming months.

THE TOP 5 WHO RUN THE SHOW.....

MARTIN SCORSESE: he is branded the most talented director of his generation and his peers are coppola,Spielberg and lucas. scorsese films speaks for him and i cant say moe baout him but can list few films
MEAN STREETS-1937
RAGING BULL-1980
THE GOLD FELLAS-1990
these films aer rated as one of the finest films of last 30 years.

Martin Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942 in Flushing, New York. Through most of his life, his chosen career goal was to be a priest. However, he later had a change of heart, and decided instead to become a filmmaker. In 1964, he graduated from New York University from the film program. During the rest of the 60's, Scorsese made various student films, eventually becoming an assistant director and co-editor of the documentary Woodstock in 1970. This film, along with his others, caught the eye of veteran low budget producer Roger Corman. In 1972, Scorsese directed Boxcar Bertha for Corman. In 1973, he followed that up with his amazing feature, Mean Streets. As Walter Melnyk pointed out, that film provided benchmarks for the Scorsese Style: New York settings, loners struggling with inner demons, pointed-shoes rock meets opera soundtracks, and unrelenting cathartic violence.
In 1974, Scorsese directed Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore which earned Ellen Burstyn a Best Actress Academy Award. In 1976, Scorsese directed the film for which he is probably most famous for, the ultra-violent Taxi Driver which drew controversy after it inspired John Hinckley's assasination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981. In 1980, Scorsese made another film with Robert De Niro, Raging Bull. The film was an amazing, black and white biography of middleweight fighter Jake LaMotta which earned two Academy Awards. One for Best Actor - Robert De Niro, and one for Best Editing - Thelma Schoonmaker. Later, it was selected as best film of the decade by film critics, Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel. His next few works were King of Comedy in 1983 with Robert De Niro, After Hours in 1985, and in 1986, Paul Newman earned an Academy Award for his reprisal of the role of gambler Eddie Felson in The Color of Money. His next film was probably his most controversial to date, The Last Temptation of Christ which outraged some religious groups by attempting to portray a human son of God. In 1990, he directed the excellent film, GoodFellas. In 1991, he directed a remake of Cape Fear, a remake of the classic 1961 film. In 1993, he directed The Age of Innocence. Casino, his epic about the rise and fall of a mob figure in Las Vegas was released in 1995. In 1999, Scorsese released Bringing Out the Dead, an adaptation of Joseph Connelly's novel about an overworked, stressed ambulance driver fighting insanity. Scorsese has stayed busy over the years, directing Gangs of New York in 2002, and The Aviator in 2004, with The Departed scheduled for release in 2006, with an incredible cast, consisting of such talent as Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio (a Scorsese favorite of late), Martin Sheen, Matt Damon, and Alec Baldwin, and a great story concept, being of cross spies, one being in the Boston Police Department, and the other being in the Irish Mafia in Boston.
Martin has never won an Academy Award, however, in 1997, he was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.

"This Film Is Not Yet Rated"

This Film Is Not Yet Rated is a documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick and producer Eddie Schmidt - a breakthrough investigation into the MPAA film ratings system and its profound effect on American culture.

-->The documentary asks whether Hollywood movies and independent films are rated equally for comparable content; whether sexual content in gay-themed movies is given harsher ratings penalties than their heterosexual counterparts; whether it makes sense that extreme violence is given an R rating while sexuality is banished to the cutting room floor; whether Hollywood studios receive detailed directions as to how to change an NC-17 film into an R, while independent film producers are left guessing; and finally, whether keeping the raters and the rating process secret leaves the MPAA entirely unaccountable for its decisions.

"This Film Is Not Yet Rated" was kept under wraps by the filmmakers during more than a year of research into the MPAA's rating practices. Director Kirby Dick ("Twist of Faith," "Derrida") interviews filmmakers, critics, attorneys, authors and educators. Ultimately, Dick tries to uncover Hollywood's best-kept secret - the identities of the ratings board members themselves.
Filmmakers who speak candidly in "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" include
John Waters ("A Dirty Shame"),
Kevin Smith ("Clerks"),
Matt Stone ("South Park"),
Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry"),
Atom Egoyan ("Where the Truth Lies"),
Darren Aronofsky ("Requiem for a Dream"),
Mary Harron ("American Psycho"),
actress Maria Bello ("The Cooler") and
distributor Bingham Ray (co-founder,
October Films and former President, United Artists).
