Movies and Its Defense Objective

Afternoon Voice


Four best poets of our world, can someone guess who they were? By their brilliant imagination they have been to some places where angels too couldn’t reach. They have been to the council of Satan too. Their work compiles with genius words and sonnets written by very less freedom of speech very beautifully. The most shocking part is that all these four Poets were Muslims. The Hebrews the Latin’s and the Greeks too didn’t have such an Interesting Literature, such a rich and authentic stories, which doesn’t ends.
Allama Iqbal and Mirza Galib, of India, Rumi and Omar Khayyam of Iran. Most of their works written in Persian and Urdu language were criticized by Maulana and Aalims (a person educated from Madrassa). Under the limited freedom of speech and limited freedom of expression what they have done in 12th and 18th century today no one can achieve it. Under the limit of official censorship by the religious representatives their work was never censored too.
Poets are the best philosopher’s world can ever imagine, and their work is dedicated in criticizing the evil and motivating its people to the uplifment of society, then no one can change the shape of their society.                     
After four best poet all from same religion, everyone from same belief and ideology. But why are Muslims backward. Why they are always ready to hit the tower by Airplane, not aware of population control, why they bomb trains and why they are illiterate in such a large number? Asks Arvind Adiga in his Booker Prize winning book The White Tiger.
We will come to his question later before that we will review a Movie of Aamir Khan.

After a year Aamir Khan is back with his new movie 3 Idiots, it is Raju hirani’s 3rd Movie since Lage Raho Munna Bhaiand Munna Bhai MBBS, produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra his old friend. Its Raju’s 3rd hit in a row and Aamirs 4th since Rang De Basanti.  A movie based upon Chetan Bhagats book Five Point Someone, after a huge controversies between the writer and the Director, film is a Box Office Success.
This was Raju Hiranis third work again inspired by three of Robin Williams’s movie, a Mixture of Goodwill Hunting, Patch Adams and Dead Poet Society, there were some inspiration from 2001 movie Innocent Moves and also from Ron Howards Beautifull Mind.
3 idiots is shot in the location of Laddakh, Shimla, Bangalore, Delhi and in Film City of Mumbai. It is a story of fresh admitted engineering student in Imperial College portrayed as IIT, and the consequences faced by the its students. It is a movie which highlights the problems related to the education system of India and also highlights the suicide commited by the students due to stress.
It is Aamir’s second movie in a row which spreads a social message for a change in the education and the teaching system of India. Where Aamir again supports the agenda of to follow Excellence, Success will follow you by default.
Raju Hirani has gifted Bollywood with characters like Munna, Circuit and this time with Ranchoo. His prior movie related to improve the quality of life, and follow the path of truth (Gandhigiri) now he is back to improve quality of education.
Farhan and Raju are two other important characters in this movie, as Farhan (R. Madhavan) by pressure of his family was studying engineering and Raju (Sharman Joshi) to earn a good living for his family joined Imperial College of engineering are the 2 idiots.
The movie is a narrative story of Ranchoo and his love and compassion with his friends by Farhan on a long journey to meet him again with Raju. In this Journey they come across a situation where they came to know Ranchoo was a different man and Aamir Khan was his servants son interested in education and brilliant beyond the limit.

Some scenes were too much expressive with a loud song always interrupting in between to  feel the movie musically. Movie is oriented almost among two characters Ranchoo and Virus, principal of Imperial College role played by Boman Irani, also his two daughters Mona singh and Kareena Kapoor after leaving her fiancĂ©, Kareena later fells in love with Ranchoo.
Suicide has been highlighted in this movie too much, and after this every suicide related to education stress is a prime issue of any newspaper and News channels in India. Aamir in his first hit movie Qayamat Se Qayamat tak portrayed suicide as the only option left for failed love story. But this time he explains India not to commit suicide, by creating a huge argument of “work what you like not what the world wants from you”.
A very well set up argument of Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar, could convince Millions of students who do not see any hope by the demand of Engineers and Doctors from the society.
Raju hirani has lost focus in this movie by accepting too many challenges and twisting the story from shimla to laddakh. Very poor quality of editing and screenplay, some stupid comedy didn’t work on serious situation.
                 
However the movie is the mixture of Dead Poet Society it couldn’t achieve the calm nature and an enthusiastic role of teacher played by Robin Williams who is always ready to give any kind of a chance to his students in their respective interest.
It is also inspired by Patch Adams who has a huge problem with old ethics of Education System and Professional difference among Doctors and Patients. In which Robin Williams is ready to challenge the health department and whole Jury of Education in United States.

It failed to adapt the relationship between a counselor and an aggressive Mathematician after whom whole MIT is running to solve the problems in Goodwill Hunting. It also failed in the development of characters as every character was not justified, like the characters of Matt Damon and Robin Williams is still remembered by Hollywood.
Also it has portrayed a brilliant outstanding student Ranchoo with every quality of a hero in him no aggression, no simplicity, no softness at all. As Beautiful Mind which is made on a real life character of the Noble Prize Winner Economist John Nash, had suffered a lot to achieve the path of success, his soul was Beautiful played by Russel Crowe.
Yes there is no short cut to success but Ranchoo diverts young students to achieve success in by leaving studies in between.
In an American Corporate structure of Film Indutry, every Actor works and handles some Portfolios. Critiques like Chomsky say that Hollywood director and actor serve the National Defense, and Foreign Objective of United States. But it’s very difficult to derive what kind of objective has been served by making such film like A Beautiful Mind, Goodwill Hunting, Patch Adams, Innocent Moves and Dead Poet Society.
Once an individual has encrypted it, he will find himself very much far away from truth, and no one will believe him.
Aamir Khan is working too hard to privatise education in the name of empowering it, in the name of quality and by showing the statistics of suicide to viewers. Aamir has discussed these problems and a change with Hillary Clinton too.
 Education in India is a multi Billion Dollar business if privatised. Every state board should be given to some international foreign Stanford or Harvard collaboration. A very expensive education is coming in front of us, without any government aid or subsidy Educational Institution would be runned. And those who cannot afford to study will join Call Centers, or maybe Military will pay well too, maybe in future Oil Pipelines in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran would need Indian troops, as we can become the second biggest consumer of Oil after china in couple of years, who knows?      
Sometime back I saw a Hollywood movie, as they are made in US so it’s quite obvious that they serve United States Defense and Security objective which is Huge according to its size, so it was difficult for me to understand what they are up to. That movie displays the huge technology used to secure its own citizens, and it raised some silly questions.
Will there be a world where Security personnel’s will know about a crime which is about to happen after 20 years, any technology can tell us about it.
Think about it “A person is arrested and jailed for a crime which he is about to commit after 20 years” so it would be for how many years?
Off course more than 20 years, so that the crime is never committed, a criminal of future is placed behind the bars. That’s called Legal Detention, showcased beautifully in a Spielberg’s movie “Minority Report”,
For an ordinary person it is really difficult to understand what Spielberg is up to, but Obama has mentioned that he is building a cyber station in white house. Anyone found suspicious in his searches on internet or mobile phones, anyone a suspected threat to the American national security would be send to legal detention. Anyone who has subscribed himself to any fundamentalist sites or Madrassa will be send to jail. Because there are chances that these Madrassa online will create Terrorism online.
When I read this, I wish to sing John Lennon song
“What a wonderful world”
Coming back to the question of Arvind Adiga, that why are Muslims so shapeless in their small world when the four best poets of our world were from their community.


Dear Mr. Adiga,

One of a Muslim movie star Aamir Khan and also a wannabe education minister of India, says that, oh you the children of heaven, Farishta-e-Zameen do not run after success, Oh you please run after Excellence, Success will follow you
Perhaps what our wannabe Education Minister doesn’t know is. In the year 1917 after the fall of the last Islamic union the Ottoman’s Empire, in turkey a British agent whose name was Mustafa Kemal brought in Democracy followed by a law stating that “only University educated individuals are capable enough to run an Administration, Madrassa educated individuals are not capable to run it”  
This is how Mr. Adiga Future of Millions of Aalims is decided by just flicking their pen in parliament. Do you know why Mr. Adiga because they are threat to the society, anyone who is a threat to the Capitalist Economy, Privatisation and Globalistion is by default threat to whole world.
But still they are not willing to leave their Madrassa and live in harmony with Free and open society, even if their education is not recognized by the Capitalist world, they are not ready to leave it…
                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                         
Isn’t it Amazing Mr.Adiga?  
After the collapse of last Islamic Union,
Allama Iqbal wrote a small line in Urdu and I quote from it,
       
 ----Kyaa Daur Bhi Insaan ko Duniyaa ne Dekhaiyeen Hain,
       Lamhoon ne Khata Ki Thi, Sadiyoon ne Saza Paiyeen hain.

What Iqbal meant is this downturn of Muslims and by default of whole world will remain for more than 100years (Sadiyoon). Because today’s rulers do not have the best critique sitting in their council, the Madrassa educated individual.                              
                                                                                        Did You Got that Mr. Adiga?
