This thought emerges because you obviously don't have any idea about Dada Saheb Phalke!! Yes Ray and other Bengalis have been great in filmmaking and art. But Mumbai is because of Dada Saheb and Prithviraj!! Also the first Indian Movie was 1913 in Mumbai and 1918 in Bengal
Happy to hear a genius talking about our great Director Ray Truly speaking Ray's film r energising,inspiring, pure crystal clear and connects us to the characters His method of telling a story in cinematic way is absolutely brilliant
@indusengineer WE INDIANS are not forcing Ray on anybody..we dont need to do that, his genius does that automatically ..Martin is at a seminar held by the Indian Embassy in honor of Satyajit Ray, so its quiet normal that Ray will be the topic of discussion, please understand this.
no body is forcing it but only you are telling it.try to play his movies sometimes and see how he reflected our culture to the world and how he paid tribute to our country.
LOL Satyajit Ray has won an Oscar for his lifetime achievement in 1992. Though i hardly care about the Oscars. But it should ring a bell. Lets come to national award which is the most prestigious in India. He has won 32 in various category. Then comes his legacy which is unmatched.Nobody in Indian film industry has even comes close to him. Martin Scorsese campaigned so hard that he could get this Oscar. He rallied his close buddies Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and others, which set the ball rolling in Mr. Ray's favor. This event is just one event. He continues to spread the word about Mr. Ray's films. Just stop being ignorant and lazy and start watching his films.
@@shuktikanirmal6121 Bengali is not an Indian language. Sure, we used to be a part of the same sub-continent, but Bengali is Not an Indian language. You're confusing the Indian states with Bangladesh as a country. To claim that Bengali is an Indian language would be as ridiculous as claiming that Bangladesh is a part of India. The modern Bengali language was derived from Sanskrit. Sanskrit was the Indian sub-continent's original mother language. It dates back to 1000BC. During the Mughal era, West Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya were a part of "Bangla" or "Bangal". Although there was no such thing as Bangladesh back then, that portion of of the sub-continent was known as Bangla. People in those regions still speak Bengali to this day. During the British period, they divided the Indian sub-continent into countries and in the process, we lost a huge portion of our land which would otherwise be known as a part of modern day Bangladesh. So to sum it up, people from those regions are known as "Bangali" and not "Bangladeshi". But do not mistake them as purely Indians. I've noticed how people always try to divide the two nations over silly arguments. And please never claim Bangla as an Indian language again.

@Bareek91 what kind of an idiotic statement is that? Bengalis are Indians too. Marathis, Punjabis, Bengalis, Gujaratis, etc. all together make up India.
Indian films r recognized by works of Satyajit Ray❤....not by films of characterless people like sanjay leela bhansali or mukesh bhatt...or karan johar
An Italian American icon understands and appreciates the real heart of Indian life as it relates to his own from Ray’s films, but the idiots of Bollywood have no clue about Ray’s films or his stature in the arena of international films, and nor do they have any sense of pride or respect for this film giant from India, very sad🤔
Satyajit Ray maybe a great director/ film maker to foreigners, Satyajit Ray showed Indian lives in poverty, unclean atmosphere, that changed the very outlook of Westerners to the extent India is a poor, poverty stricken, unclean, culturally & religion divided. What did the satyajit Ray showed to westerners a bitter truth, and watching comments very amusing @ some says he was a Bengali, some says he was a Indian, or first Indian to be honoured with Oscar award. Reality is most of Indians don't want to see Satyajit's movies, bcuz Indians wanted to forget their poverty feeling & turned to commercial movies with songs, fights, or any kind of masala.
@JagdishAcharya...maybe your view of ray films is limited to pather panchali and apu trilogy thats why you are commenting on the poverty one...you should check out his Calcutta anthology films...where he shows the state of the urban youth ..part from this the film 'Nayak'...a psychological journey of a movistar...Gupi Bagha films-a fantastical and social journey of two musicians...and many other ones....dont make a loose ended comment just on a certain stereotype and half baked knowledge
Why just Ray, there have been several equally great directors in Indian Cinema . I do hope that films of directors like Guru Dutt, Hrishikesh Mukherjee , Vijay Anand ( Guide in particular) are made available to US film lovers too, and I dont mean DVDs , there should be proper screenings where ppl can learn something more about these directors and their style via an exhibition, booklets etc.
there is a lot of difference between Ray & others you are talking about...they are just leagues apart ----its like comparing suresh raina to sachin Tendulkar!!please watch his films first & try to understand the difference between Bollywood commercial filmmaking & ray's artistry.i'm sorry but the comment 'equally great directors' speaks volumes about your shallow understanding of films!!
Dharma View....you made me laugh really hard after a long time....either you didn't watch Ray or may be you are too naive to distinguish great from the ordinary
Indian Government does nothing in conserving his films.
They are busy for Ram Mandir
@@kaustabpaul4514 they are not busy in ram mandir u r busy in it .u only talked about mandir but not on babri majid bs yi kami h
@fred roy lol....
It's already conserved and yet again it was done by the West...
@@kaustabpaul4514 had to take a dig at Hindus didn't you?
Taxi driver was inspired by Satyajit Ray movie abhijan
It's a pleasure to watch a legend talk about another legend. Please share more of such extraordinary stuff.
It hurts when I see Mumbai emerging as the main centre of films in india...it must have been Kolkata with guys like ray.
You can check out Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen. They too are among greatest Indian directors from Bengal
This thought emerges because you obviously don't have any idea about Dada Saheb Phalke!! Yes Ray and other Bengalis have been great in filmmaking and art. But Mumbai is because of Dada Saheb and Prithviraj!! Also the first Indian Movie was 1913 in Mumbai and 1918 in Bengal
Yeah it's a shame
Ray would have hated the current state of Kolkata and bengal
No kolkata has lost it sheen....reason overconfidence...
One legend talks about another legend.
Oh man scorsese is awesome. I hope the boundries of film are broken, and a truly international world can be made.
Only we can inspire the next generation to watch good films of the past through our enthusiasm of these films.
Any time I want to start dipping into these legendary directors, I always like to see what Scorsese has to say about them
Happy to hear a genius talking about our great Director Ray
Truly speaking Ray's film r energising,inspiring, pure crystal clear and connects us to the characters

Satyajit ray was God in Indian cinema, Bollywood cheap directors now will destroy that reputation
Thanks to the uploader, thanks to Mr Martin Scorsese...

Ray was born in Calcutta India. He was born in a Bengali family and the films are in Bengali but he is an Indian Director!
Sid Smith Sort of like Irish and Salvs are Europeans too
Dude Calcutta is in india
And bengali is an Indian language
He is Indian
India has 1200 languages and dilects spoken across.

Terrific. Keep these coming..Thanks

It is amazing that bureaucrats also liked the artist angle of Stayajit Ray's direction of film
MARVEL is not Cinema
Neither are 99 percent of the crap made in Bollywood.
Marvel is a theme park
Batman pfp lol
Used to enjoy Marvel... but it turned into a shitshow. Irom Man 1 had some genuine soul.

respect!
Ray!
Legends like Satyajit Ray was 1000× better than Karan Johar,Yashraj,Mahesh Bhatt etc
Don't get too excited brother. Sabko pata hai ye baat. You are comparing a great to kids.
That's like comparing Fellini to Snyder
cool

Idiots 😂

Abhishek Ganguly very much truly said! I agree.
Dharma View....you made me laugh really hard after a long time....either you didn't watch Ray or may be you are too naive to distinguish great from the ordinary
@abhishek and sandip : just curious why is he leagues apart. Technically speaking why do you think that?
Because no one is as versatile as Ray... @Dharma View
Ritwik ghatak was better than Ray. Many people believe this
Is there any measuring apparatus ?
Nobody does . Satyajit Ray was better
u say so...what does everyone else say....and what do i say ???
Opinion varies from person to person. It would be futile to engage in such a debate.
