The shot at the end where the rich kid is sitting helpless listening to the sound of the poor kid's flute, while all his toys fall down one by one is absolutely fantastic.
The rich kid tries to impose his superiority (his idea of happiness) over the poor kid by showing off his materialistic possessions to feel good about himself. Thus he picks up a "fight". He tries to break him as hard as he can. However, the poor kid doesn't lose his spirit and decides to keep himself happy with everything "little" he has. In the end, the rich kid accepts his defeat with a realization that he's not content. Also, him withdrawing himself from his toys, and the tower falling is shown as a metaphor for his defeat and his inability to find joy despite having "everything". "Two" explains the duality of happiness. One that comes from possessions and the other that comes from within.
@@darkmemes953 No matter how desperately US (Rich guy) was trying to put down the Poor guy (Vietnam) with all his might and weapons (toys), Vietnam didn't care and didn't surrender. Quite a good analogy I must say.
What a genius Ray was. In about 10/12 mins he makes you invest in the characters in a way that I don't think the Love Aaj Kaal or Daabang 3 generation of film makers will even understand. In 12 mins he leaves you with a feeling of having seen something that touched you. Hats off Sir.
One of my thoughts is that the rich kid seems to be going one better than the poor kid with his possessions every time, but he doesn't have anything similar to the kite, representing the poor kid's freedom, so he tries to shoot it down out of jealousy perhaps

I can't say films like 3 idiots, PK , lagaan, dangal etc are bullshit. Bollywood is mostly flooded with cringy film production companies, some are exceptions. You cant blame the hollywood for some weird ass cringy production companies, same with bollywood, tollywood etc.
Shin Chan it was used to support the funding of the movie, not to sell the ideas that people want to consume. All modern Bollywood movies are basically fan service with no base to them.
This is the best way to relate how bollywood (the rich kid) have been trying to supress the regional small budget films(the poor guy).... But ending with dissatisfaction and harm towards itself. Satyajit have always been trying to show us the future with his works...but we were busy doing something more important.
My father has been lucky. I'm from Bengal, not a Bengali tho. You know what, my grandfather says he has met satyajit ray at the age of 38 at a post-office...
for some bizzare reason i feel that air must be full of different smells.. some burnt coal.. some cooking food..of heated asphalt from flaming hot summer..the noises of that time must be so minimal and soothing
Tbh, i don't see people of 90's giving him much credit as he deserved. Seems like our older generation weren't too concerned about reality. They rather indulged in romantic movies whose plot revolved around fictious storytelling about two people. Satyajit Ray deserved an Oscar, rightly so
I don't think a renowned and pro realist filmmaker like Ray would purposefully not give credit to anyone. It could be so that the street kid or his family didn't want to have their name out in public, since working in films at that time was seen as heinous and not as glamorous as it is today. It could also be so that the street kid was unable to introduce himself properly and was hence, just used in the film without crediting.
@@views-qw9tf Yeah, and it's not necessary that he was a bad human being either. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. I have personally never heard even rumors of Ray being an asshole to anyone in the industry. I'm sure if he didn't credit the child there must be a good reason behind it.
He would have got a heart attack after knowing that more than 90% things in a cinema are done with goddamn VFX these days. VFX artists are contributing more in a film than a filmmaker which is really awful. Baji Rao Mastani, Padmavat in Bollywood and Mank in Hollywood. But on those days Ray, Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Kurosawa used to achieve special effects manually on their own with meticulous dedication and hard work which they used to do themselves. This had made them the Real Masters of Cinema.Kudos.
It's funny how cool it has become to insult capitalism while enjoying all the benefits of Capitalism. If it wasn't for capitalism and the technological revolution it brought legends like Satyajit Ray would've been a nobody.
This is the greatest short film ever made because due to the fact of how seamlessly pulls so many ideas in 12 minutes. From the Vietnam war and societal class to even the meaning of happiness. It's haunting and it's a masterpiece.
Good Afternoon my child, HAHAHAHAHAAAA, You are damn right and now doubt, you got the tremendous right opinion about the present Movies and Directors. You are absolutely right and that's the reason they can never reach the Satyajit Roy's Tower of glory. Blessings, from your Uncle- Uma
@@RanabirDan what does having a deep voice and dominant personality got to do with being a nerd? And in no way calling someone nerd is considered an insult nowadays.
@@Judge_Holdenalt Nerd in general is referred to people who are smart but also very socially awkward with no charisma and Ray was very charismatic and smart. Reading books doesn't make you a nerd it's a personality type
@RanabirDan the definition of it from Oxford dictionary "a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interests" Now you say, is it an insult to him? It never was, common folks usually put negative connotations to the word and don't know of its true meaning.
@@Judge_Holdenalt I was talking about the stereotypical nerd depicted in movies which I thought the OP is talking about. If we are going by the original definition then yes he was a nerd
As stated above. The movie was lost and gone. I was called by a University Professor close to SFO that teaches Ray filmography in 2007 for an interview on the methodologies that SR used in direction. I wanted to see the movie then to recapitulate the direction and was shown this restored movie. I saw it with my son after 43 years, Thank Oscars' for revival.
Few other countries might remember Satyajit Ray, but we(Bengalis or Indian) have happily moved to some other environment or other planet. Today's every box-office hit Bengali or Indian film is nowhere near to Ray's any film. That describes everything. Needless to say, how "Two" bears same kind of hallmark like any other film of Ray with his priceless direction.
gautam dev most of the south films are either remakes of hollywood or just cringy romantic films. South indian Action films are flooded with anti gravity scenes which even challenge physics. Killing peoples with bananas like wtf
It's sad how many viewers don't realise that this short film is a subtle portrayal of the *American-Vietnam War* 🇺🇸🇻🇳 by Ray with classic usage of symbolism and metaphors. At the beginning, look at the *Mickey Mouse cap* and *Coca Cola* symbolising the US. The rich kid is shown to have all the materialistic joys of life yet is insecured by the poor kid's happiness (Much like the US intrusion in Vietnam)....His *loud toys* symbolise the advanced weapons against whom the simple flute, kite etc. is no match..... But at the end, we all know what happened in history, as the rich kid sits lost in the music of the flute and his "toys" crumble down...👏👏👏 ____________________________
Everyone knows bro. You know that very few people know about the reference of the America-Vietnam war in this short film but almost 90% of the people know about the reference who have watched this piece.
Also, the way the rich kid gunned down the kite parallels to Martin Luther King's statement about the escalation of the war in Vietnam "the promises of the Great Society have been shot down on the battlefield of Viet Nam"
It’s eerie every time he plays the monkey the kid plays flute. It’s about being connected but there are societal barriers. I’m sure boys parents say you can’t play with that poor kid
@@swapnadeepsom5924 even though he wins by shooting down the kite at the end he is still trapped / caged , what he realizes at the end is that he never won and hence the feeling of pride is broken down
Seeing the boy reel in his torn kite is so.... heart-wrenching.. I know what a toy is to a kid... especially if he has so few... a prized possession.. a big part of his world. Whenever I feel myself getting materialistic, I come to this video...to remember what matters.
It's not "only" about Vietnam War, it's not "only" about the rich vs poor. Ultimate storyline is the kid's realisation about himself, a caged robot - and that is way more important in this story imo.
The fact that Satyajit Ray made this film to show the tyranny of the US using US's money is ultimate savagery! This man always seems to amaze me. Thank you to the Academy for preserving Ray's work for me and millions others to be able to see!
It is because people question how worse and shitty can movies get that they discover the impulse to dabble and explore true films like these, Prachi... No wonder there! 😆😆
The real beauty is - It's never really shown that was it really the poor boy who was playing the flute in the end, or was it just his guilt eating him.
The rich kid first hears the poor kid playing the flute. After he seemingly "defeats" the poor with his superior toys and destroys the kite eventually, he goes back happy feeling victorious. But finally hears the same flute music from the poor kid. Showing that the poor kid's spirit is still unbroken and undefeatable even after all that materialistic superiority that the rich kid showed off.. ✌️🙂. This is what I think Ray meant, guys.
In the end when you hear the poor boy playing the flute, the camera moves and shows the robot toy marching to the tune of the flute, this gives the impression of soldiers marching with a band. In reality the rich kid owns the toy but it seems as if the poor kid is the one who is using it the right way. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
It's not only about rich and poor, there's another aspect to it, one trying to be happy with material belongings another living life minimalist and taking life as it comes. A spiritual life looks poor from the perspective of material life and vice versa. Another beautiful aspect of Ray sir is he makes a barebone script and lets audience indulge in their own perspectives. 💎
We are not even in that level to comment on this kind of film... I always been a great devotee of Satyajit Ray... Look at the present Indian film industry and look what Satyajit Sir made on those days. Incomparable... His writings, Music Direction, Film making is not only art. It's pure sacred admiration... No wonder he is the first Indian to get Oscar Prize... We are proud of you sir and we are proud to be bengalees for you sir...
This short film was a symbolic representation of Vietnam War. The rich kid symbolises 1st world powers and the poor kid symbolises 3rd world countries. Great piece of creativity by the genius Ray.
The caged poor holding materialistic possessions vs the free spirited rich holding his happiness in every little thing he has. Truly terrific from The Great, Satyajit Ray.
Did any one noticed at 5:25 ,when the rich kid point his gun towards the poor kid with bow & arrow. Poor kid became sad as he realizes that he can't fight with bow & arrow with a kid carrying a gun. This show the world history that how people with guns & money defeated poor people who have no advance weapon to fight, as they always have there traditional weapon. And this is right now is still happening.
when the opponent dont have same weapon then he/she shouldn't figth , they should use same weapon or no weapons , see mahabharat and ramayan when RAM didn't had charriot ravan didn't fought , ravan fought when RAM got charriot from lord Indra , which is called law of war
gautam dev you have no clue do you? Of course tech was not there at all.. everything else was far better. U probably didn''t even understand it and the symbolism behind it. So naive
In Satyajit Ray's every movie every shot had a broad meaning, such a detailed depiction and artistic approach is excellent. That's why he's an iconic legend
The rich kid acting skills are amazing. I mean look at 8:56 . Look at that smile full of pride, and how fast and natural it changes to that facial expression of contempt against the poor kid. And again at 9:43 its impressive how he manages to smile with such cruelty and a childish arrogance that even for an adult would be extremely challenging to do.
A perfect documentary, without Satyajit Ray, it could never be made. He is really a genius for whom we Bengali people are proud of. Only a twelve minutes, that teaches us a life lesson, persuing happiness comes from inside, that abstract feelings never comes from the possessions we hold on our hands or displays for our room decorations.
"Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in this world without watching the sun or the moon" - Akira Kurosawa I would urge everyone , who have come here to experience this enthralling immutable work of Ray , to go through a book called 'Our Films , Their Flims' by Mr.Ray . He profoundly expresses his discernable ideas about the 'Art'. And , the universality of silent films ,which by imposition, and advent ,of audio has got depleted its all-appealing open ended character. Edited : Wanted to quote the exact words.
Don't agree, there are some great filmographers today as well. Films like Newton, Kahaani, Black are some really thoughtful films. And you don't even know about the short films in India. THEY ARE AWESOME. Try some Indian short films.
making a movie is very tough.. for a normal person to do a movie in India is to submit his whole life into films.. it's very easy to criticise a movie but doing a movie needs lot of dedication, hard work, brilliance, talent and some luck too. Why don't you try writing some screenplay.. then u ll understand the hardship of film making
The thing is we only scratch the surface but do not dig deeper. Every period of time has its own masterpiece. You'll have to dig deeper. There's art for the classes and art for the masses
@@martygusto3056 I don't think I have seen any Masterpiece from Bollywood recently . Most of them are just huge pile of shit . Though there are some good movies but even they are decent at best .
Whenever I recommend someone Ray's films, I try to include this film within the top 5 films. Not only because it's an excellent piece of work, but also this film is an example on how beautifully metaphors can be portrayed on screen, without sophistication and ornaments in such a short time frame. Two has always been one of my favourite Ray's works. Glad that Academy restored it.
1.Pather Panchali (A Song of the Little Road) 2.Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (The Adventures of Goopy and Bagha) 3.Sonar Kella (The Fortress) 4.Hirak Rajar Deshe (The Kingdom of Diamonds) 5.Charulata (The Lonely Wife)
Here is my recommended 5 films (These are not necessarily my favourites) in no particular order: 1. Two 2. Aranyer Din Ratri (Days and Nights in the Forest) 3. Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) [If you can, watch Apu Trilogy: these three films together is the face of Indian cinema to the world.] 4. Nayak (The Hero) 5. Seemabaddha (Company Limited)
Rich always want to dominant poor...but poor always fight... This is eternal truth 😤 Satyajit Ray not only a film 🎥 director, truly a legend philosopher.. As a Bengali, we are proud of him ❤️
Being a bengali I feel so lucky because I can enjoy his creation in Bengali exactly what he wrote or made. He was actually a multifarious. He's one of the best Bengali ever .
Rabindranath Tagore had written on his autobiography that those who has many things to plays has actually nothing to plays. That concept is seen here. So the rich boy though having many toys , watches the poor boy. I am surprised to think that that concept is same today also. That's why Satyajit Ray is eternal. Proud to be a Bengali.
That ending is hauntingly beautiful. The editing, score, acting, framing, thematic metaphors and overall story structure, all are so subtle and yet so powerful and masterfully done. I have learned a lot from this than a film school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr Satyajit Ray.
I was expecting a climax where the guy in outdoors would bring on some friends and playing with them and the rich guy couldn't match it with plethora of toys he had.
Maybe it is the 31st or 32nd time I'm rewatching this video to understand what RAY can deliver in a 12-minute film and I found that every pixel of the film is creativity. A man may have unveiled all his creative potential. Amazing just unbelievable
*FUN FACT:-* * Satyajit Ray sir decided to make a *movie in late 1960s "THE ALIEN". It* *was to be co-produced by Hollywood* *production 'Columbia pictures' but* *eventually movie got cancelled. In the* *late 1980s Steven Spielberg stole this* *idea and made 'E.T:- the extraterrestrial',* *which was later remade in bollywood as* *"koi mil gya'*
Just enjoy the movie there were hundreds of science fiction alien based stories and novels in western culture from 100s of year and I really dont think india has made much of science fictions in early 1900s and and alien science fiction doesnt feel like satyajit ray's style He is more of artistic and classy
@@geeks4all507 satyajit ray has always written creative stories even fantasies....for example goopy gyne bagha byne....so a wonderful story such as that of et is quite expected to be satyajit ray's creation...though i dont approve of the blame suggesting plagiarism i know very less abouy
@@fazilahmed9267 tum katai chutiyeo hon yha bhe chutiyaap kar rhe hon bure ko bura bolne se acha ache no praise karo.. This short film has many layers ushe decoed karo rather ye chutiyap ke
This film is made during the Vietnam War, experts believe that the film makes “a strong anti-war statement” as it ends with street kid’s flute sound overpowering sound of expensive toys. Now no need to say who is Vietnam here and who is the spoiled rich kid :D
@Abhishek shukla I think you know deep down you are not that smart and just wanna be smart. But don't give up. If you wanna be smart you will be. Just don't try to act like one when you clearly are not. Be real. Be authentic. That's more respectable than being smart
In the last scene , the toy falls and breaks like the rich boy. I think its a tale of 2 inner life spirit. One who seems to be rich but confined to a window. Another who seems poor but being in the wide open spirit of life. While one wants to win to justify the walls , one just allows his free spirit to flow enjoying his existence. Such a strong visual. No need to take home any message, sometimes its life as it is.
Just one line: "Maharaja tomaare Selaam"....its a reflection of the fight against imperialism, capitalism, consumerism to live a simple social life....where the one in power can never snatch away the purpose of living a blissful life from the one that struggling, no matter what.
He is the finest filmmaker of India...watching his movie inspires, teaches, gives strength, provides positive vibes-- fulfills all the criteria of a true ART!!!whenver I watch his movies, regret not having him now...!!
Just a small piece of art with such a deep meaning into it...It clearly speaks the turmoil between Rich and Poor without a single dialogue. Never seen a director as big as his stature in India....He is best among directors in the world :)
When the poor kid turned back with the torn kite I was constantly chanting "Give me hope" in my head without realising. There was pity and joy both in the end.
We are lucky that a genious like Ray was born in our country and we can enjoy his films and writings in our mother language. This is also an awsome piece of work.
"Art is biggest weapon against unjust power, and literature is the biggest weapon against dogmatic ideologies" If you love Mr ray's movies you have good taste, if you can relate to it then start questioning your society
The poor was having his fun ,the rich kid couldn’t bear that and tried to make the point that he has better toys, poor one didn’t care about it at all so rich was anxious and tried to torn apart the kite as he thought by doing this he’ll make the poor sad and feel happy, though he was successfull he found out that poor one is still happy and he felt sad about it. If I am not wrong it’s the same structure in modern society, rich earns money and try to show to the poor that he is happy if poor doesn’t care about it they will try to disgrace them and make themselves look better and bigger in terms of happiness and prestige if they are not successfull in makkng poor sad they feel unhappy after all their efforts. This is a masterpiece , he tried to show that the way we pursue happiness is wrong we must feel good about ouuselves from within and not by mocking others or doing harm to them because it never gonna work.
Unfortunately, Ray does NOT show that the poor is still happy. In fact, he shows the poor retreat and disappear, so the rich has indeed succeeded in stamping out the happiness of the poor - just as the rich have succeeded in making the poor miserable in OUR society. HOWEVER, Ray does show that this victory is hollow and does NOT make the rich happy. Ray is telling an all around sad little story, for no one comes out well in the end.
@@zantigar in last seconds you could still hear the flute which poor kid started playing again and rich kid was totally devestated you can see his toy tower fells off and he sits there quietly and sad I think that explains everything, also your point of view is interesting.
@@shashikantdwivedi5792 Watch that ending again carefully. The rich kid stares blankly out the window. I believe the rich kid is only IMAGINING hearing the tune of flute which the poor boy played at the beginning of the film. It is the poor boy's absence which is finally so heart-rending. Satyajit Ray shows how memory and the pangs of conscience are finally working on the soul of the rich kid. Listen to that lonely wind at the end - the little poor kid is NOT there. This is a metaphor for martyrdom: They can kill Gandhi or Martin Luther King, but they can't kill their songs. That is what brings tears to my eyes.

He would have got a heart attack after knowing that more than 90% things in a cinema are done with goddamn VFX these days. VFX artists are contributing more in a film than a filmmaker which is really awful. Baji Rao Mastani, Padmavat in Bollywood and Mank in Hollywood. But on those days Ray, Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Kurosawa used to achieve special effects manually on their own with meticulous dedication and hard work which they used to do themselves. This had made them the Real Masters of Cinema.Kudos.
Classism, colonialism, capitalism - in 12 minutes with no words, enacted by two kids.
Yours truly, Satyajit Ray.
How do you know this repesents all those things?
It's funny how cool it has become to insult capitalism while enjoying all the benefits of Capitalism. If it wasn't for capitalism and the technological revolution it brought legends like Satyajit Ray would've been a nobody.

When nerds indulge themselves in creating something extraordinary, they give birth to masterpieces. Such a great concept and ending
Stop calling smart people nerds Satyajit Ray was in no way a "nerd" he had a very deep voice and dominant personality
@@RanabirDan what does having a deep voice and dominant personality got to do with being a nerd? And in no way calling someone nerd is considered an insult nowadays.
@@Judge_Holdenalt Nerd in general is referred to people who are smart but also very socially awkward with no charisma and Ray was very charismatic and smart. Reading books doesn't make you a nerd it's a personality type
@RanabirDan the definition of it from Oxford dictionary
"a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interests"
Now you say, is it an insult to him? It never was, common folks usually put negative connotations to the word and don't know of its true meaning.
@@Judge_Holdenalt I was talking about the stereotypical nerd depicted in movies which I thought the OP is talking about. If we are going by the original definition then yes he was a nerd
As stated above. The movie was lost and gone. I was called by a University Professor close to SFO that teaches Ray filmography in 2007 for an interview on the methodologies that SR used in direction. I wanted to see the movie then to recapitulate the direction and was shown this restored movie. I saw it with my son after 43 years, Thank Oscars' for revival.

Few other countries might remember Satyajit Ray, but we(Bengalis or Indian) have happily moved to some other environment or other planet. Today's every box-office hit Bengali or Indian film is nowhere near to Ray's any film. That describes everything. Needless to say, how "Two" bears same kind of hallmark like any other film of Ray with his priceless direction.
sen walter so true. Nowadays an intellectual artist mind is quite rare in the industry. Makes me sad
Agree with you.
This is my 1st movie of ray sahab
Wozniak's statement clearly proves correct.
We lost creativity with Ray sahab.
in south india we still make some masterpieces
gautam dev most of the south films are either remakes of hollywood or just cringy romantic films.
South indian Action films are flooded with anti gravity scenes which even challenge physics. Killing peoples with bananas like wtf
It's sad how many viewers don't realise that this short film is a subtle portrayal of the *American-Vietnam War* 🇺🇸🇻🇳 by Ray with classic usage of symbolism and metaphors.
At the beginning, look at the *Mickey Mouse cap* and *Coca Cola* symbolising the US. The rich kid is shown to have all the materialistic joys of life yet is insecured by the poor kid's happiness (Much like the US intrusion in Vietnam)....His *loud toys* symbolise the advanced weapons against whom the simple flute, kite etc. is no match..... But at the end, we all know what happened in history, as the rich kid sits lost in the music of the flute and his "toys" crumble down...👏👏👏
____________________________
True. Many people don't realise this after watching it but Ray subtly showed many parallels to the vietnam war
thanks for sharing 😊😊
Everyone knows bro.
You know that very few people know about the reference of the America-Vietnam war in this short film but almost 90% of the people know about the reference who have watched this piece.
Also, the way the rich kid gunned down the kite parallels to Martin Luther King's statement about the escalation of the war in Vietnam "the promises of the Great Society have been shot down on the battlefield of Viet Nam"
US intrusion in vietnam is only to control communist growth.
It’s eerie every time he plays the monkey the kid plays flute. It’s about being connected but there are societal barriers. I’m sure boys parents say you can’t play with that poor kid
Amazing piece of art.. Last 5-7 seconds, it’s not the toy blocks breaking, it’s the ego which got shattered. Satyajit Ray 🙌🙌
thats relatable
Nice Observation. Thanks
And the window depicts a barrier trapped in his own world.
How? Not trynna argue just wondering
@@swapnadeepsom5924 even though he wins by shooting down the kite at the end he is still trapped / caged , what he realizes at the end is that he never won and hence the feeling of pride is broken down
Seeing the boy reel in his torn kite is so.... heart-wrenching.. I know what a toy is to a kid... especially if he has so few... a prized possession.. a big part of his world. Whenever I feel myself getting materialistic, I come to this video...to remember what matters.
Spot on!
That was heart breaking seeing hes expression.

Master over masters.
It's not "only" about Vietnam War, it's not "only" about the rich vs poor. Ultimate storyline is the kid's realisation about himself, a caged robot - and that is way more important in this story imo.
The fact that Satyajit Ray made this film to show the tyranny of the US using US's money is ultimate savagery! This man always seems to amaze me. Thank you to the Academy for preserving Ray's work for me and millions others to be able to see!

the cinematography is also brilliant, the poor kid is always shown from above...
The rich kid first hears the poor kid playing the flute. After he seemingly "defeats" the poor with his superior toys and destroys the kite eventually, he goes back happy feeling victorious. But finally hears the same flute music from the poor kid. Showing that the poor kid's spirit is still unbroken and undefeatable even after all that materialistic superiority that the rich kid showed off.. ✌️🙂. This is what I think Ray meant, guys.
Actually, this film carries symbolic meaning from different aspects of views.

In the end when you hear the poor boy playing the flute, the camera moves and shows the robot toy marching to the tune of the flute, this gives the impression of soldiers marching with a band. In reality the rich kid owns the toy but it seems as if the poor kid is the one who is using it the right way. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Thanks for explaining
yes
It's not only about rich and poor, there's another aspect to it, one trying to be happy with material belongings another living life minimalist and taking life as it comes. A spiritual life looks poor from the perspective of material life and vice versa. Another beautiful aspect of Ray sir is he makes a barebone script and lets audience indulge in their own perspectives. 💎
We are not even in that level to comment on this kind of film... I always been a great devotee of Satyajit Ray...

The caged poor holding materialistic possessions vs the free spirited rich holding his happiness in every little thing he has.
Truly terrific from The Great, Satyajit Ray.
Did any one noticed at 5:25 ,when the rich kid point his gun towards the poor kid with bow & arrow. Poor kid became sad as he realizes that he can't fight with bow & arrow with a kid carrying a gun. This show the world history that how people with guns & money defeated poor people who have no advance weapon to fight, as they always have there traditional weapon. And this is right now is still happening.

In Satyajit Ray's every movie every shot had a broad meaning, such a detailed depiction and artistic approach is excellent. That's why he's an iconic legend
One of the many reasons why Satyajit Ray is the BEST Indian storyteller ever.
The rich kid acting skills are amazing. I mean look at 8:56 . Look at that smile full of pride, and how fast and natural it changes to that facial expression of contempt against the poor kid. And again at 9:43 its impressive how he manages to smile with such cruelty and a childish arrogance that even for an adult would be extremely challenging to do.

A perfect documentary, without Satyajit Ray, it could never be made. He is really a genius for whom we Bengali people are proud of. Only a twelve minutes, that teaches us a life lesson, persuing happiness comes from inside, that abstract feelings never comes from the possessions we hold on our hands or displays for our room decorations.

"Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in this world without watching the sun or the moon"

I would urge everyone , who have come here to experience this enthralling immutable work of Ray , to go through a book called 'Our Films , Their Flims' by Mr.Ray . He profoundly expresses his discernable ideas about the 'Art'. And , the universality of silent films ,which by imposition, and advent ,of audio has got depleted its all-appealing open ended character.

In the last scene , the toy falls and breaks like the rich boy. I think its a tale of 2 inner life spirit. One who seems to be rich but confined to a window. Another who seems poor but being in the wide open spirit of life. While one wants to win to justify the walls , one just allows his free spirit to flow enjoying his existence. Such a strong visual. No need to take home any message, sometimes its life as it is.
Just one line: "Maharaja tomaare Selaam"....its a reflection of the fight against imperialism, capitalism, consumerism to live a simple social life....where the one in power can never snatch away the purpose of living a blissful life from the one that struggling, no matter what.

Satyajit Ray was a civilisation himself.
The poor was having his fun ,the rich kid couldn’t bear that and tried to make the point that he has better toys, poor one didn’t care about it at all so rich was anxious and tried to torn apart the kite as he thought by doing this he’ll make the poor sad and feel happy, though he was successfull he found out that poor one is still happy and he felt sad about it. If I am not wrong it’s the same structure in modern society, rich earns money and try to show to the poor that he is happy if poor doesn’t care about it they will try to disgrace them and make themselves look better and bigger in terms of happiness and prestige if they are not successfull in makkng poor sad they feel unhappy after all their efforts. This is a masterpiece , he tried to show that the way we pursue happiness is wrong we must feel good about ouuselves from within and not by mocking others or doing harm to them because it never gonna work.
shashikant dwivedi sae kha
Unfortunately, Ray does NOT show that the poor is still happy. In fact, he shows the poor retreat and disappear, so the rich has indeed succeeded in stamping out the happiness of the poor - just as the rich have succeeded in making the poor miserable in OUR society. HOWEVER, Ray does show that this victory is hollow and does NOT make the rich happy. Ray is telling an all around sad little story, for no one comes out well in the end.

Satyajit Ray shows how memory and the pangs of conscience are finally working on the soul of the rich kid. Listen to that lonely wind at the end - the little poor kid is NOT there.
