You missed what he said at 5:28: "Tamil cinema has been used as a political tool for the past 70, 80 years". That's way before Maniratnam & Kamalahasan.
Maniratnam is a very contemporary movie maker who is hardly social. His movies are nationalistic and patriotic than socio-political. Even Iruvar which although had protagonist who had a public/political life, the movie itself was about friendship and relationships. Vetrimaran or Pa Ranjith, on the other hand, are a serious movie maker in genre of socio-politics. Such nuanced differences only very few who are aware of difference between regional history and Indian History will be able to pick up.
@@MyPersonalAccount124you are not able to figure out what he is trying to say bro. I will put it in a different way, Aayutha Ezhuthu as a story involves politics but it will never create any consequences like socio-political tensions or for that matter start a debate in real society after its release. Imo maniratnam would have never had such an idea in his mind rather than sculpting the art with human values and emotions. On the other hand, Pa Ranjith or Vetrimaran are actually making a statement against the system and they know what discussion they want to create very specifically with their films.
@@MyPersonalAccount124ayutha ezhuthu is also patriotic not socio political. Like same story fit north indian audience too like bombay. Based on nationalist sentiment. Vetrimaran films are based on dravidian ideologies. In short tamil nadu is always left leaning where as nation is mostly right. Hence socio political exist more here
Very true... ManiRathnam is never a rooted director... His way of film making is seen as POSH and very artistic and appealing to the senses of educated people. His sensibilities are diametrically opposite.... Bharathiraja was the one who started this realistic film manking, about the rural set up. There were directors on and off touching the societal issues and caste oppression.... But this wave started with the quality directors like Vetrimaran, Pa Ranjith and Marri Selvaraj... These people have great understanding of the ground reality. Here, Vetrimaran is seen as a the one with utmost intelligence and nuanced film making. He is class apart. He worked as assistant to an yester year LEGENDRARY film maker Balu Mahendra... He was the only one who was making PARALLEL MOVIES in Tamil cinema then... He did a mix of commercial and art house to maintain his relevance in the Industry ( only when the movies are success can he make his fav genre of art house movies ) No wonder Vetrimaran turned out to be this GENIUS of an director... Dhanush played a BIG part in trusting him and he kept doing movies with him. Vetrimaran is someone a normal mainstream producer cant understand... So Dhanush produced his initial movies to give him that creative space. VM mentioning Tamil movies being used as a political tool started as early as 1950's the first one which started the wave was PARASAKTHI, it was penned by karunanithi, who later became the CM of the state. It was the debut film of SIVAJI, Legendary actor. In 60s and 70s Many actors especially MGR used all his movies to propagate his IMAGE as a saviour of the commoner. It did catapult him to be the CM of the state.
Iruvar ( you might have reviewed it ) , this film talks about how politics , the dravidian movement etc is enmeshed with the Tamil film industry and films .
There are several Tamil political directors like Vetrimaaran - Pa. Ranjith, Raju Murugan, Gopi Nainar, Naveen and Lenin Bharathi. I would also add Atlee and A.R. Murugadoss but the difference is Atlee makes grandeur commercial movies and ARM too but they sure they deliver a strong social message to the public e.g ARM's movies Kaththi, Sarkar and Atlee's debut new Hindi movie Jawan. All of them have a strong content that resonates with the audience throughout. We need such filmmakers who make meaningful movies among other full-fledged entertainers
the highest political post in the state is that of Chief Minister. Two of our chief ministers were script writers in Movies in the 50s and 60s. Three Chief Ministers who followed them were Super stars from various decades. Many big stars have political parties of their own and strong political allegiances.
Mani is a romance film maker... Way back in the 50s we Tamils made political movies...the chief ministers repeatedly ruled TN are from cinema, one is a great screen writer karunanudhi - Ex chief minister and actress jayalalitha who is a female version of Hitler also became Cm ....their story is what Mani made it as iruvar...Aishwarya rais first Indian movie
@@Magz218 how is he show off show me proof. He is literally the most humble director ? you hate him now because he is directing thalapathy isn't it ? thalapathy hater?
Tamilnadu has been ruled by dravidian political parties for over 60 years, and the ideology reached the mass mainly through movies. Our ex CMs Karunanidhi, MGR , J Jayalalitha were all part of tamil cinema. Guys you need to know mainly about one person, MGR , he was the most almired and no one had ever ruled the hearts of tamil people like him ever. When he was sick and needed a kidney transplant , so many tamil people volunteered to give their own kidney and save him. He then won the assembly election and became CM from hospital and without doing any election campaigns. Every actor in tamil cinema always wants to be famous like him.
You've heard about names like rajamouli, shakar, lokesh, prashanth neel but this guy is the best director in india vetrimaran Sir the quality of the films this guy making is unbelievable
Please watch Kamal Hassan (2 roles) tamil movie Oru kaithiyin diary (1986), Main hoon Hindustani (dubbed version in hindi), Akree raasta (remake in hindi with Amitabh). Here a polician is the villain.
Kamal struggled a lot to make a film which is completely raw and realistic.... All his films were compromised a lot due pressure from film industry, government orders, censorship etc... Now its getting better but no where near US... Kamal should have been in US so that he can express his ideas with full freedom and as per his complete expectations
Goddamn ! Rick take a white board & write down the name of the film industries in India and list down the top 10 directors under each of these industries - thats ur home work for the day! 😁 Vetrimaran belong to Tamil movie industry!
Mani Ratnam is not political. And if at all his films appear political, they are too simplistic and lack nuance. Kamal Hassan, however, is definitely political.
The Current Ruling government of Tamil nadu evolved around "Social Justice" had Professors and Activist who used Cinema as a political tool to speak Voice of Unheard . This was even before Kamal & Maniratnam. Even Kamal's rolemodel "Sivaji Ganeshan" (honorary Mayor of Niagra city - US, for a day) did political films "Parasakthi". This film is still an identity for Ex-Chief Minister of Tamilnadu for his dialogues (more on critics of Tamil nadu Politics). Like wise the Opposition Party had MGR (actor turned Politician, who was friend of ex CM). These 2 (MGR, Kalaingar Karunanidhi) people were the original characters of "Iruvar" movie directed by Maniratnam. Kalaingar means Artist. Artforms and Politics in TN has stronger Connect than anyother state.
@12:22 the Great Michael Moore.... the man who predicted the reality of "Trump winning in Rust belt states" once BERNIE SANDERS was sidelined by Democrats in 2016.
Political and Social issues were the main plot from 1952 in Tamil cinema. Such movies were a huge hit, and that started the trend that the mainstream movies were based on such themes. That's the reason Tamil cinema does not have parallel movies. The mainstream movies covers kind of everything in Tamil cinema.
Mani ratnam never made political films, if at all he made some references, they are very superficial and he doesn't understand any of the real world problems as he doesn't come from that background. He is only at somewhere around 10th place in the list of great directors from Tamil film world. there have been far great directors and writers. dont give him unnecessary credit
nothing wrong with making political films but one of the significant challenges facing the film industry from the very beginning is its lack of diversity in terms of socio-political and philosophical perspectives. The industry is dominated by a closed group of like-minded individuals who are not receptive to filmmakers with different viewpoints, and created their monopoly, and make groomed audience (so much for diversity and free thinking) . Their can be many reasons how this happens, some: influencing artists world view during there training and career ,making close groups and funding specific films. im not talking about specific real world politics but about political diversity in film industries
Wrong Turn like movies runing the youth. And Serial Killer movies with over violence is not good for public. So I want a sensor board in India. After watching wrong turn, I wonder why america allows production of such movies. its not at all good for youth mindset. So I strongly recommend sensor board is necessary for India. Especially some people have this so called political agenda to make wrong things about India. Its really internal + foreign politics. So if there are any wrong intentions, its not good for our public. So we have to think in both the ways. So In my opinion not siding with any political parties I think, Sensor board is really needed fo India. I genuinely think its needed for every country. I even strongly recommend the ban of wrong turn like movies. I only watched one of it. Thats enough. Such a bad movie and wrong intention. No good messesage really sucking movie.
Guys please react to the Front row with Anupama Chopra ft. JAANE JAAN cast and director (Kareena, Vijay, Jaideep and Sujoy Ghosh) . It was such a wholesome interview.
Even if you don't agree with all of his political views what makes him great is he never makes his movies as us vs them. He just makes you see things from his pov and does it masterfully with writing. It's refreshing because a lot of Tamil movies generally has in your face politics and actors who make millions spew about social justice and equality on screen without an iota of subtlety
That's why not a single tamil movie got pan indian success. ...as compared to telugu(was not relevant like tamil cinema) rocketed their market and popularity after 2015
The benefit of having political messages in the mainstream ‘mass media’ means that more people will watch it and this enables social change. Asuran was a great example, as Vetrimaran points out. It was digestible for an average movie goer, excellently made movie that was watched by millions of people who understood, sympathised and potentially will act on that sympathy in their politics. What more can you ask for? America can learn a thing or two from that. Elevated artistry is a privilege. Meaningful social progress for the generationally marginalised is more important. Rick and Korbin, you need to think about that as two white men. Suggestion: Watch Asuran with an African American friend of yours. And ask them what they think.
In India if you have even a trivial opinion then you are biased. It doesn't matter how relevant it is. Now imagine how careful the director needs to be in still selling his version of story to such an hyper sensitive audience. Again, this is just a cultural thing and there is absolutely nothing wrong here.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the Dravidian Movement's Ideology whose basic aim is to downgrade and reject Sanatan Dharma!! As evident from the statements of MK Stalin!! I also am aware that this ideology has deeply enrooted in Tamilian cinema!! Films have been made in that direction showing our history to be as bad as possible!! But at the same time, Asuran dealt with Caste Oppression which I totally understand what is the history....Really liked Asuran but Dravidian Movement and its ideology a Strict No No
Coming from a place of learning, but what is Sanatan Dharma and what do they stand for? Also which films have that ideology that you said have been "deeply enrooted in Tamil Cinema" and how does it show the history to be bad as possible? Just wanna know, that's all
