Satyajit Ray interviewed by Pierre Andre Boutang 1989 Part II

[@adithyasalem5621]

I am from Tamil Nadu. To watch his movies and listen to his music I learnt Bangla to some extent. I watched his Pather Panchali 20 to 25 times. He is genius. No can reach him. Lots of love from Tamil Nadu.

This is Voice this is English this is personality Love u sir love From Bangladesh I was reading Feluda some time ago

[@md.nayeem3616]

In his golden time of creativity, your 'Sir' kept utter silent about the newly born state Bangladesh. The man neither spoke a single word to Indian media about Bangladeshi refugees and their miserable lives in the camps., nor did he produce any creative work whatsoever on this issue. His Feluda travels the whole of India, Hong Kong, London- but never feels the drive of solving any case where he actually hails from. This is called 'denial', my friend. The reality is, undoubtedly a genius, Ray was not a friend of Bangladesh.

I highly doubt he would tempt his way towards technology....His vision was always towards Drama , Story & creativity with limited resources. Granted, he would have made a single film to break the barriers like Spielberg's Jaws & Jurassic park but eventually would return to his roots, which is classical Drama and Story telling. Shares the same if not superior filmmaking DNA like Spielberg, Scorsese and Kurosawa. Amazing Creativity and Superior Talent.

I'm just wondering if He had today's technologies in his cinemas then He probably got 1 oscar for 1 movie. He was that brilliant. he was the master of cinema.. Do you know that Stephen spielberg (as we admired as one of the greatest director of all time) took Satyajit ray's idea, Satyajit ray's concept and made ET (Satyajit Ray's movie name was The Alien). Satyajit Ray came with the same idea in 1960. way before stephon speilberg. YES in '1960' and we were crazy over Koi mil gaya in 20s (Infact Koi mil gaya's idea was way too similar with his story called 'Bankubabur Bandhu'). MOVIE INDUSTRY WILL NEVER GET A DIRECTOR LIKE HIM. He was the Kohinoor :)

I particularly watch and re-watch his English interviews just to be mesmerized each time by his way of speaking the language, his use of words, phraseology and accent. There are few Indians whose English accent I personally love hearing, like Shashi Tharoor but then Mr Tharoor was born in the UK and studied in the US. In contrast, Ray acquired his beautiful accent which he delivers so fluidly in his baritone voice, while all the time living and making films in his native Bengal. And together with his knowledge and erudition about cinema, music and other art forms, clearly shows he is one of the greatest Renaissance men of our times.

It's fascinating how he is explaining everything. When he mentioned about the "unsophisticated audience" it actually means the intellect and taste of audiences not the lifestyle. Well watching Hollywood movies does not mean it's a sophisticated thing. Movie making is an art. That is not easy to do. Though I don't directly blame audiences for their engagement in commercial movies. It's a another debate. But yes I observed people looking for those commercial movies rather than investing their time to understand what is movie itself. The development of the characters, the movement of the scenes, the film score, the script and the story itself is so important. Most of all the philosophy behind it. The grammar of film making and so on. Lastly this interview had a reference of "12 angry men". I loved how he interpreted the scene. The way it broke the still ness by bringing a change. It just shows how enriched they are in terms of knowledge and intellectualism. Thanks for the video
