Monkey Man - Behind the Scenes

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Dev Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city's sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him. Take a look behind the scenes and hear from the cast & crew of MONKEY MAN

Please continue the good work and hope to see you reach great heights. This movie was a killer, hope to see more from you.

Brothers, I want to share a story here. I am from India, I was 11 back then when I saw the trailer on an ad break and I declared that the movie was going to get an Oscar. When it came, my father and I went to watch it and yeah, I was double sure about it. And since they won and my judgment as well. Dev Patel has been one of my favourites and has never disappointed, NEVER.

so u ok with Dev Patel pushing a hindphobic story like he did in Slumdog millionare ?

[@Vahjina-ihtir]

​@@frankiestein8482can you tell how it is hindiphobic?

[@frankiestein8482]

​@@Vahjina-ihtir he's pushing the same narrative that was in Slumdog about imaginary Hindu extremism oppresing Muslims and so called low caste by the indian government even though the PM is a so called low caste and many Hindus been killed by Islamists this year and all the years before.But being the coward he is like many of these colonised indians they use Hindu culture like him wearing a hanuman mask to push that hinduphobic narrative even though the movie shouldn't be banned in India but people need to see how old colonial and religious prejudices in a new wrapper continue against Hindus like they did even in Indiana jones and the temple of doom nonsense

[@frankiestein8482]

@@itcouldbelupus2842 what you mean 'anti nationalist' there is no 'nationalism' India as defined by western racist narratives against India because its a majority indigenous hindu country which historically they have always hated because of their Christian or Islamic faith. We saw the same with Indiana jones and the temple of doom where hindus are portrayed as sacrificing people to Goddess Kali.And there has many more like that. But to be careful they use the term 'nationalism' to not sound racist .

A Homage to Korean violence of Art in Vengeance. The art direction very much seems inspired by John Wick color cyberpunk world. Dev Patel is going to paving an Indian action movie into a more truly serious in asthetically. A young kid had been transformed into a Beast. This is truly inspired the world. Don't waste time being afraid of AI film-making. Do what you want and making the world fear of what we can achieve.
