Does Film inspire people? And how?

Asked by Nisha Dreamz in Movies at 11:06 AM on April 22, 2008

Sunny Bhasin's Answer

let me show you through example,,,,

"Goal is about resilience and courage. It's about how you rebuild yourself and bounce back to life amidst adversity. We are trying to convey this through a football match," Vivek explains enthusiastically.

In a chat with Swati R Chaudhary, Vivek talks about Goal, the alleged showdowns on sets, why his debut film Chocolate failed, and much more.

John Abraham talks about Goal

There appears to be a lot more to Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal than just football.

Goal is about human drama. It is about the triumph of the human spirit when adversity strikes. Football is merely the medium to express this idea.

In the last five years, we have witnessed a lot of celebration in terms of Indian engineers and other professionals. We have found our space in the emerging global world. But the space is limited to a certain strata of society. My film doesn't deal with the rich, affluent people outside India. The Asians living outside India is a huge percentage. We always take into account the cr�me de la cr�me of the society but there are others working as waiters, barbers, newspaper vendors... Some of them are illegal immigrants, people are struggling to make ends meet and some are living below the poverty line. They'd be more comfortable in India but they are living there with some hope. Goal deals with this through football.

A still from GoalDoes it get preachy at any point?

I don't believe in preachy films. I don't like such films. Having said that, I don't even enjoy films that only 'entertain'. That way, even the circus entertains. Our films have to entertain without the viewer being guided to a humdrum set of do's and don't's.

At the same time, as a filmmaker, my films should evoke some feelings, some thoughts in their minds. That's the purpose of cinema. It has to be a learning experience without advocating rights or wrongs in a subtle manner.

Bipasha Basu talks about Goal

Do you see brighter prospects for Goal, given that Chak De! India turned out to be such a phenomenal hit?

If Goal had come first, it would have helped Chak De. But now that Chak De has released, it will help Goal. We started shooting before Chak De; we announced our film before they did. If things had gone well, we would have released it on August 10, along with Chak De.

The USP of Goal is its script. It's fantastic. But people shouldn't expect anything out of the world. Goal is a simple film, told from the heart. And everyone has surpassed my expectations in this one.

Do you think audiences are more receptive to sport films after Iqbal, Lagaan and Chak De?

There haven't been too many sport films but they have always clicked with audiences.

I guess whenever we have made a film based on sports -- whether it was Hip Hip Hurray, Naya Daur or Jo Jeeta Woh Sikander -- the films have always been well received. People enjoy such films.

Will chronicles of narnia- Prince Caspian be better than chronicles of narnia- the lion, the witch and the wizard?

Asked by asha g in Movies at 12:13 PM on April 22, 2008

Sunny Bhasin's Answer

And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; not a few inches away from where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been, but a long way off...she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air..."

With that, C.S. Lewis sends young Lucy Pevensie into the magical world of Narnia. Likewise, once the big screen version of the wardrobe materializes, moviegoers follow Lucy into this alternate universe.

That's the true beauty of Narnia - it isn't portrayed as just a figment of the children's imagination; it's a completely believable, imaginary world. C.S. Lewis never told the reader how he was supposed to perceive it; Lewis was content to leave a lot to the imagination. Even the final battle for Narnia is described in fewer than two pages.

And that's the true beauty of the film - it takes the source material and fills in the blanks that had previously been left to the reader's mind. Visualizing in your head the fight between Aslan's army and the witch's minions is a joy for the creative, but watching a massive battle involving centaurs, minotaurs, dwarves, giants, and a wide variety of other mythical creatures is truly a sight to behold.

Centaur C.S. Lewis theorized that if a book is worth reading when you're five, then it needs to be equally worth reading when you're 50. The same holds for the movie - I gladly recommend this regardless of whether you're five or 50 or anywhere over, under, and in between.

What makes The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe so accessible is its focus on topics that we can all relate to in some form - betrayal, forgiveness, selfless sacrifice, family, and loyalty. For Christians, the allegory behind the story certainly gives the film more meaning as Aslan, the Christ figure, battles the Devil's representative - the witch. But those who aren't as spiritually inclined will find this to be a great epic story of a battle between good and evil. The spiritual parallels are easy to recognize, but they're never heavy-handed.

Fans of the book will notice that the movie has implemented some minor changes, and you may be puzzled by some curious exclusions (why was there no Giant Rumblebuffin?), but overall this is a faithful adaptation that should live up to and probably exceed your expectations. What is there not to like?

Aslan The actors are great (particularly Tilda Swinton as the witch and the adorable Georgie Henley as Lucy), the CGI is remarkably impressive (Aslan looks very real!), the battle is genuinely exciting, the world of Narnia feels real, the creatures are given life without ever becoming cartoonish, and the moviegoer is treated to a two-hour vacation from whatever stress or hardships he or she may be enduring.

There aren't a whole lot of movies these days that completely suck me into their world and force me to concentrate on the characters and the story rather than on the actors that I'm watching. Tom Cruise will always be Tom Cruise, and Angelina Jolie will always be Angelina Jolie. But for two hours Tilda Swinton is the evil witch, Georgie Henley is a little girl whose reactions feel real and sincere, and Aslan feels like more than just an impressive piece of CGI.

This is exactly the kind of movie I want to see more of. Go see it. If you think you're too grown up to enjoy this and can't let your imagination get the best of you then perhaps it's time for you to, in the words of Todd Snider, grow back down.
