Ray the Rockstar!
of Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne...
superficially about two village idiots...
but the movie is so much more than that...
a simple tale...much like a folktale or even a fairytale for that matter...
simplistically and innocently hilarious...
so many little messages passed on to you...
about the discontentment of man no matter what...
about the pointlessness of war...
and then almost immediately...Ray brings you back to the reality of the film's characters Goopy and Bagha...when Bagha looks at his would be bride and says,
"she'll do!"
Tailpiece
Legend has it that two student representatives in my batch decided to have a Ray film festival during the last semester. So they approach the SPIC Macay group which hosts indian classical music concerts to promote an appreciation of Indian culture amongst Indian youth.
So the kids ask the Spic Macay dude, " We were wondering if you could help us organise a Ray Film Festival? (i mean these Spic Macapy guys are pretty well connected you see...)
SMdude: Of course, in fact we could probably even have Ray talking about his films.
Student reps: Really! that would be awesome!
but legend also has it that before they put up a notice about the same and invoked Ray from the ashes, a noble soul informed them about his death and put the matter to rest.
do i love this place or do i love this place?
