[@ssagar8808]

Anukul was written by the maestro Satyajit Ray in 1976..Black mirror seems to be inspired by Anukul and not vice versa. Ray was such a visionary that he wrote on robots and aliens in 60s- 70s .

[@satyakide5168]

s sagar In addition to that spielburge's one of the famous movie was actually concieved from Ray's manuscripts. He was never credited for that. Many people from Hollywood knew that incident. Anyway, he was a great visionary, writer & director world has ever had.

[@suyashawasthi1]

Black Mirror is inspired from "The Twilight Zone" which aired in 1959. Stop claiming everything in the world to be your own. It's cringy.

[@px6497]

Didn't know that.. You you have any references to back up that bold statement

[@daakudaddy5453]

Black Mirror is SO NOT inspired from Anukul. Anukul was an stand-alone work of art that had no impact on western cinema or even Indian cinema. And Hollywood and western entertainment was full of aliens/science fiction/ robots /mutation, etc well into 60s and 70s. Some movies like '2001 A Space Odyssey' even inspired many modern inventions. Even Marvel and their sci-fi superheroes was big back then. Even before that, they were heavy into sci-fi novels with Around the World in 80 days, 200 leagues under the Sea, Frankenstein, Journey to Centre of the Earth, etc. It can be argued that Anukul was inspired by these works instead. It's the Indians that lagged behind with our melodramatic formula films until recently.

This is no big deal in 70s for the rest of the world. Maybe for Indians. Hollywood was well into science fiction in 60s with 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Planet of Apes, and countless others.

[@daakudaddy5453]

@@mindymoore618 No they do not. None of the ancient texts anywhere speak of space-time or parallel universes or multiverse or nuclear physics. You're just deducing meanings that you want to. And if they do, so do the Bible, Torah, Quran and every other mythology ever. Religious scholars do it all the time to show how their faith is better. Something is discovered, and they find a ambiguous line and say "See! Our books already had it!" And am I to believe the widely racist and anti semite hollywood guys of 50s and 60s read and 'stole' ideas from ancient indian texts? Yeah right. PLEASE GET OVER THIS ANCIENT WISDOM THING! It's the cringiest thing Indians do. Satyajit Ray is a great director. Among world's best. But he's not the pioneer of science fiction. The Hollywood writers are. And they were inspired by the English novelists who took the idea and bravely flew with it. Give credit where it's due. Dont steal it to show India in a better light.

Firstly, GREAT video to react to. Not many people have reacted to this short film. Secondly, I'll admit that I haven't watched each and every post-reaction discussion of yours. I've watched a few. But this one is the best. Syntell, especially is a very good orator. Also, this particular discussion was much more engaging for me because you both sorta had opposing views. Syntell was optimistic, even though he could see the dangers of AI while you, Jaby couldn't help but be a little pessimistic about it. And that made for an awesome discussion to listen to and before I knew, I had watched a 50 minute video. Kudos to you guys! Thank you both and love from India. 😊

Thanks Jaby for reacting to this short film. This is my all time favourite short film. I requested you several times in the past for this reaction so I'm happy that you finally did it. Loved your conversation. And this is the brilliance of Satyajit Ray. He wrote this story when nobody could even imagine something like this. He wrote many outstanding Sci-fi short stories like this one. His creations create conversations like the one the two of you just had. Sujoy Ghosh did a fantastic job of recreating Ray's story into this short film. Jaby to have a better understanding about the nuances and metaphors used in this short film just go to the comments section of "Anukul". I'm proud to be a Bengali because we have the artistic brilliance to make something special like this one. Watch more Bengali films, and react to more Bengali film trailers Jaby. Do it man, it's a request from your long time subscriber... You can react to the trailer of the upcoming bengali movie "Professor Shonku O EL DORADO" written by the legend Satyajit Ray and his son Sandeep Ray has directed it.

I did not think about the symbolism in the movie before Syntel pointed it out. But let me make it clear here. In the Gita, Lord Krishna asks Arjun to fight his own brothers for the sake of duty and justice. This is in our Holy book of Hindus, The Gita. In the short film, The Robot is Krishna and the employer is Arjuna. Here too, the robot helped the employer to go against his brother for the sake of duty, just like how the employer will use that money for good. It somehow gives the message that one must not be afraid to take action, even kill if it is for Dharma, meaning duty. In the Gita, Arjun did not want to go to war against his brothers, But Lord Krishna instructed him otherwise, about Duty and conceince. Although this paints a very vague sense of subjective justice, but this is because people don't recognize what their own dharma aka duty is. Although, I am an atheist but I do recognize now, the greatness of Gita as a holy scripture. Hats off to Syntel for noticing this. Love you man!

[@swethas5335]

Hey Jaby, Andrew Yang is right and Also People telling someone to "Learn to Code" to adapt to the current requirement needs to know in IT where I work, Automation (Script created by Human) is already in place to reduce the manual work load and also there is AWS/Cloud computing which reduce employees in many fields within IT. So no one is really safe from AI/Automation/Cloud. Love your reaction, Satyajit Ray ji is a visionary story teller.

What a beautiful conversation!! I cannot put more words. There is synchronicity in thoughts yet there is a debate. The world is changing but not as fast as I expected to be during the 90s. When Cyborg and terminator came I thought I am going to see all these changes very fast in the future but it didn't happen. Thanks, to the regulations which allowed to make changes sequentially. i10 didn't come in the first neither we are going to jump so soon to i20 though we are capable of.We will do it one after the other as per the needs, demands, and requirements of the changing world. In this way, I am close to Syntel optimistic thoughts. I can also relate to Jaby's pessimism especially when he said that's why I want to be at home alone with which I am doing at least some level of self-preservation.
