angelina jolie ' s new movie , first they killed my father , will be available on netflix friday . find out when you can watch it and what it ' s about .
` ` the only thing i asked ( the makers of the film ) is that they show the utmost respect to my father , to the victim ' s family , to my family and to have those positive results like adoption works , family values and love .
first they killed my father is based on the 2000 book first they killed my father : a daughter of cambodia remembers , written by loung ung , a human rights activist . the book follows her experiences as a 5 - year - old child during the pol pot and khmer rouge regime . between 1975 and 1979 , the marxist leader killed up to 2 million people .
` ` i try to see everything on the positive side . i couldn ' t wait to spend time with ( my father ) . i said , well , this could be my last time . i didn ' t want to waste a golden opportunity , ' ' said the devout christian , recalling the time he was about to see his father for the first time in 2000 .
in 2003 , a kbs documentary entitled ` ` my father ' ' touched the hearts of many as it traced bates ' search . the film version has fictionalized parts ` ` but it captures the essence of my life , ' ' he said after watching the film the same evening .
` ` my father , ' ' directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker hwang dong - hyuk and starring daniel henney and kim young - cheol , explores the multifaceted meaning of family , love , forgiveness and acceptance .
my father is very lovely father of the world . he is my real hero , best friend , my inspiration and best person of my life i ever seen . he is the person who helps me a lot in getting prepared for the school , getting rise of the bed and getting my home work done well . he always cares for me and calls to my mom in the afternoon to know that whether i have come from school at right time or not . he is very healthy , fit , happiest , peaceful and punctual person . he always goes to the office at right time and teaches us too to go to school at right time . he teaches us the value of time in the life and says that if one wastes his / her time , time ruin his / her life .
but the fact that his father was a murderer did not bother him . nor that they may be biologically unrelated .
upon hearing his wife was killed in the iraq war , a father takes his two daughters on a road trip .

my is feeling sorry for herself not jh . she is quitting her job for no real reason other than making a martyr of herself and bringing attention to herself . how do you rent an apt with no job , anyway ? she will snap out of it now that she sees her father persecuted .
when i got there , i realized i knew nothing about this country and i felt very ignorant ,
she said .
i decided to buy a book and learn a little bit so i picked up a $ 2 copy of ' first they killed my father . ' that was really the beginning of an education and an awareness of how little i knew and how much i needed to change my view of the world .
first they killed my father ’s selection as the foreign language entry marks the first time such a high - profile american director has been the representative of another country in another tongue . it is also the 6th submission ever from cambodia where the film held a premiere in february and was released september 8 in local theaters .

i geeked out on ken burns ,
she said brightly , picking at a plate of cheese and crackers beside her longtime friend , loung ung , who authored the 2000 memoir
first they killed my father
and co - wrote the film ' s screenplay with jolie .
when do you get the chance to do that ?
a father is a male parent of the family who guides , loves and cares his children all through the life . he always acts as the pillar of strength and support for his children .
omg , it ' s already the end ! i love the ending especially the wedding and the dance performance of the children . the last 2 episodes made me cry . this is one of the best kbs family drama i won ' t forget alongside

first they killed my father ,
jolie said she is eager to find another project to direct .
i prefer being behind the camera ,
she said .
i ' ve never loved being in front of the camera . i ' m much happier when i ' m watching other people work .
the model - turned - screec star gives a surprising performance as he delivers the complex emotional state of his character , through jerking tears , frustrated bursts of anger and awkward embraces with his father .

bates has been out of the military since 2002 , and now works as an insurance agent . his incredible life experience does not end with ` ` my father . ' ' the man stands firmly on two feet despite suffering a disc problem last year , which usually results in one being confined to a wheelchair . he lives in arizona with his wife and nine - month - old son .
he is very polite and peaceful person . he never scolded me and takes my all mistakes very easily and makes me realise my all mistakes very politely . he is the boss of my family and helps each and every family member to take good decision in the bad time . he always shares his life drawbacks and achievements with me to let us know . he has his own business of online marketing but never force me to do go in the same field or attract me towards his own business instead he always promote to do what i want in my life . he is really a good dad not because he helps me but because of his knowledge , strength , helping nature and most importantly his way of handling people .
i have to say that it ' ll be my first time to really love a weekend drama , i never even knew about something like weekend drama . but i love it !
` ` i went to see my father ( last monday ) , but they wouldn ' t let me , saying i ' m not his real son . ' ' fortunately , before leaving korea in 2001 , bates had listed his name under the family registrar . only when he presented the paperwork did the prison grant his visit . ` ` everything happens for a reason , ' ' he said .
first they killed my father also includes jolie’s 16 - year - old son maddox as an executive producer . maddox was born in cambodia and also had an uncredited role in brad pitt’s world war z as a zombie . “ [ she’s ] fun , funny , and easy to work with , ” maddox told people when asked what it was like to work with her mother . “she’s a wonder . ”
her war films aren’t strictly impersonal : insofar as her philanthropy is tied up in her persona , each of jolie’s films as a director is , in a way , “personal . ” furthermore , in the case of first they killed my father , jolie’s adopted son , maddox , is a descendant of this atrocity . it’s a worthy subject , one she cares deeply about . and it’s possible , seeing her celebrity in this context , that jolie’s instinct is mostly to make this kind of project while shying away from making movies about herself . however , on the evidence of her movies , she has much more to say about herself than about anything else . and that’s ok ! first they killed my father may be jolie’s passion project ; but by the sea is , by some margin , the more passionate one .
the day before , jolie ' s latest directorial effort , the emotionally wrenching cambodian - genocide drama
first they killed my father ,
had its north american premiere at the telluride film festival . the crowd gave the film the kind of reception any director would dream of , with cheers and tears in equal measure , while critics took to twitter to proclaim it jolie ' s best work as a director .
on its face ,
first they killed my father
— a child ' s - eye view of the horrors of the brutal khmer rouge regime that claimed the lives of some 2 million cambodians — may seem an unlikely project for jolie to have tackled . the film is entirely in the khmer language and chronicles events that took place on the other side of the globe when she was just a toddler .
“i know they had their sort of spat but they actually get on really well . they have a hell of a lot of respect for each other , ” ferguson jr says . “in fact arsène is sorting out the tickets for my father for wednesday , so there you go . coming up against the manager is a great experience for me . he is a great manager and has had a fantastic career . ”

james finally finds his birth father nam - cheol ( kim ) , the only surviving member of his biological family . but the highly anticipated reunion is far from touching , as it takes place in a local prison , under the chaotic flashes of cameras and reporters incessantly asking the bewildered young man to hug nam - cheol and say ` ` i love you . ' ' the father is in his 10th year on death row for the murder of two people .

artist na yoon kwon with jung da eun ( 정다은 ) of 2eyes - father is strange - ost part 1 ( 2017 )
happened to see few clipping on my social network , last 3 weeks was so engrossed in watching all the 52 episodes… . i can’t understand a single korean word , but managed with english subtitles .
from that point on ,
first they killed my father
becomes a survival story about a suddenly powerless family doing whatever it takes to get through the day . their efforts are shadowed by the knowledge that not all of them will make it out alive , and that even outwardly unremarkable interactions could lead to the family being separated , imprisoned , brutalized or murdered . the early scenes of luong ' s mother , father and siblings divesting themselves of most possessions ( including some beloved dresses and toys ) are all the more vivid for being underplayed . this dry - eyed reportage continues throughout the film , ratcheting up toward operatic or tragic heights only when loung is at her most distraught .

ung was 30 when she began talking to family members in cambodia and researching “first they killed my father : a daughter of cambodia remembers . ” and 17 years ago , when jolie visited cambodia for the first time to shoot “lara croft : tomb raider , ” she read ung’s memoir and looked her up , sharing her desire to adopt a cambodian child — who turned out to be her son maddox . they have been close friends ever since .
before the reunion the two corresponded through letters . bates knew his father was in prison , but it was en route to the reunion , at the gwangju train station , that he learned his father was on death row . ` ` it was shocking . yes , he is a murderer . but we have a story because of our situation . i want to emphasize , though , that ( the movie ) is not about him . it ' s more about the relationship , ' ' he said .
my father is very kind - hearted person and my real hero and best friend . he always shares with me his all the bad an happy moments . he tells me that he discuss his all life events to me to give me experience and take right steps in the absence of him . he wants to make me a good person in the life and most importantly a successful person by following all the etiquettes , humanity and ethics of the life . he is the person who always helps the needy people in the society or anywhere on the way . he teaches me about how to get fit , healthy , happy and a peaceful person all through the life .
it ' s a very good drama . specially the jh and my couple . its rating position is no . 1 . but why didn ' t i find this drama on dramafever or any popularity discussion ?
he is the good adviser in my family , every family member takes advice from him whenever they get problem . he is the head of the family and always takes first seat while eating food at dining table .
back ground scores takes you to a different level – kim hyung joong’s – you be in my heart will just melt you away . i didn’t understand the meaning but sure it will touch one’s soul – master piece
i wonder how many episodes this will be ? it ' ll be my first time watching a family drama . i ' d like to try watching a long series and this will be the first . lol .
panh said today , “i am very happy , and very proud , that first they killed my father was selected by the cambodia oscar selection committee to represent cambodia . because the film is original and powerful . because thousands of us participated in the film’s making and so , too , in writing a chapter of cambodia’s collective history . and because this history doesn’t belong only to the cambodia people ; it is universal . cinema also is a way to talk about the resilience and dignity of human beings . ”
angelina jolie is basking in a standing ovation at telluride after the first screening of “ first they killed my father . ” it’s the film she wanted to make : based on the 2000 memoir of loung ung , who was five when the khmer rouge forced her family into work camps , it required a $ 24 million budget , a 60 - day shoot , a two - hour , 16 - minute cut . the only place she pitched the film is the only one who would let her make it : netflix .
henri if it is really , this new make me very disappointed . i don ' t want my actress to play in the family drama again . if it is family drama , i wish it will be like a five drama .
well made but frustratingly impersonal , first they killed my father is mired in a sense of respectful , admiring distance . it is almost entirely told from the perspective of ung herself , who’s 7 in the movie , and whose flashbacks throughout attempt to anchor the proceedings—which begin with her family being forcibly evacuated from their home in phnom penh , where ung’s father worked as a high - ranking government official—in some sense of who she is . but all the point - of - view shots in the world won’t add up to inner life or individual character without a more rigorous sense of who the subject is . and jolie’s film , despite its good intentions , has little sense of who the genocide’s victims are . it’s a movie that privileges the history of what happened over a sense of the people it was happening to .
he never thinks to be back in helping needy people and always ready to help them especially old people . he is my best friend and discusses my all problems . whenever i become fed up , he ask me the reason very peacefully and takes me to the top floor , let me sit in his side , keep his hand on my shoulder and discuss his own experiences of life , his faults an drawbacks including his success in order to make me realize that what i am doing wrong or right . he teaches us about ethics of the life and importance of elders and the life time . he tells us that we should never make any person unhappy in our life and always help needy people especially old people .
i do really enjoy watching this superb drama . . ( except for kissing scene , well , call me hypocrite , but that ' s my feeling in every kissing scene , such as another miss oh , jealousy incarnate and many more )
' my father is strange ' has got to be one of the best , if not the best , family tv drama ever produced by kbs . i just love all the characters in the story ! i mean they are just lovable and funny . i particularly love the leading couple of lee yu - ri and ryu soo - young . jung so - min is adorable and ryu hwa - young super cute ( any kinship with soo - young ? ) kudos to the scripwriters and the director for a seldom seen good tv show !
he is very nice person and helps my neighbours in their difficult time . he loves , cares and respects my mom always and never quarrel her . he always supports her and helps sometime in the kitchen during her illness . he respects and loves my grandparents and teaches us to care for them . he tells us that old people are like god for us , we should care , love and respect them . we should never avoid old persons in their difficult time as this time comes in everyone’s life once . he tells us that we should always help needy people of any age group all though the life according to our status . he takes 15 mins of us every day to tell us about the ethics and other good habits .
i ' m still at ep 12 but im falling in love with every episode . lots of life lessons to learn from . even if i havent finished it yet , this is already on my toplist favorite ! ! i really recommend it .
adopted by a loving american family at the age of six in 1979 , aaron bates returned to korea as an american soldier and began a search for his birth family . years later , bates was finally able to reunite with his ` ` biological ' ' father , who was a death row inmate .
angelina jolie ' s
first they killed my father
is far and away her best work as a director : a rare film about a national tragedy told through the eyes and mind of a child , and as fine a war movie as has ever been made . adapted by jolie and co - writer loung ung from ung ' s memoir about her family ' s experiences after the khmer rouge took over cambodia , it stands apart from most work in this vein not just because of what it does so well , but because of what it refuses to do .
“it was very hard to get things brought in , ” said jolie , “the equipment and moving things around . rithy never make me feel like he was looking over my shoulder . he was giving me what you would want , which is support . ”
kbs never fails to produce heartwarming sat & sun dramas ! i think the only 50 - eps dramas that i bother to watch were all from kbs . from wang ' s family , to what happens to my family , and now this . i could cry and laugh so hard in one episode . seriously not a single boring moment . even my mom loves this show although she watches a week behind since she watches it on kbs world . it ' s tough not to spoil the drama to her lol .
luong ' s story begins in relative peace , with the heroine and her bourgeois family , headed by a military police officer father ( phoeung kompheak ) , in the capital , wondering what changes the end of the u . s . war will bring . the khmer rouge , a splinter of the vietnam people ' s army of north vietnam led by future dictator pol pot , rolls into the city , crushing the remnants of the country ' s weak official government and initiating a purge that would claim millions of lives . loung ' s father sees the writing on the wall and leads his wife ( sveng socheata ) and children from the city .

i love this show . everything about it i love . best news i have heard is it getting two more episodes . wish it was more . favorite couple - jung so min and lee joon ( of course ) . so fantastic . i am going to be soo sad when it ends . father fighting ! ! ! ! ! !
while the most gripping aspect of the film is the father - son love between james and nam - cheol , the profound love in james ' adopted family is equally touching . families take on many forms , but love transcends all , blood - related or not . the strong , family - like friendship between james and joseph is also heartfelt .
i ' m hoping there ' s a season 2 for this drama and the players have to stay , because it ' s the same way of all the players in this drama , iki is the best family drama i ' ve ever seen . good job is always for the crew and the players . i love all father is strange .
funny how the title of this show is just starting to show up in the storyline . and it ' s already on for 35 episodes . xd father is really strange , how sad can this be for junghui when he later finds out the truth . : ( please dont be mad at han soo . i wish junghui will be understanding .
loved the ending , so romantic and happy , wanted so bad to be at that wedding . so no doubt this is the best 50 + drama ever ! starring my most favorite actors , lee joon & jung so min i had to watch it and so glad i did . made me laugh , cry and sigh with the story line . and just fell in love with every character . thanks & congratulations to the most awesome writers , cast and crew in producing the best ever drama ! this one is going straight to my library to watch again & again .
ferguson’s willingness to admit to taking a wrong turn shows an intelligence and determination that may be key in fulfilling his ambition of managing in the premier league . “it is a real challenge , ” he says . “the advice i always got was : ‘don’t be a manager’ – with my old man having done what he’s done . but i don’t see it like that . i’m never going to be as good as my dad , that’s the bottom line . no one is . the actual success he had is a good thing because there’s no point comparing . there’s no comparisons .
` ` growing up , i was blessed in everything . it was just like being part of a ( normal ) family . . . when you love someone so much you don ' t see what their eyes , skin color are like . i ' ll never get rid of my skin color , my eyes… but if someone ' s really that keen about it , it bothers them , then i just don ' t associate with them . those people are biased and they have their own prison _ they can ' t look outside the box , ' ' he said .
1 family drama , # 1 drama for 2017 ( all my opinion ) , wish this drama to get the award - winning for all above & the actors and actresses for an outstanding performances . lee joon , kim y - c , kim h - s , lee y - r , yyu s - y & all under the umbrella of this loving storytelling thank you all for a great life experience what

dealing with hidden lifestyle ( mother or father is strange when loving & protecting their love ones ) bravo to the writer and director , ace it ( a + drama )
deaf and mute since having his hearing knocked out at the age of 12 , asher has been training for almost two decades to avenge himself on ivan , the man that killed his older brother , 21 years ago . and now that his nemesis is out of prison , he gets his chance . but asher ' s target also happens to be his father .
this drama is really good ! but one thing i don ' t understand is why complicate things when the father was never really a criminal ( he was innocent and all ) , they make a fuss like he realh did a crime when he didn ' t . it ' s a shame for not making the characters more open minded on some certain episodes .
the most remarkable thing about first they killed my father is how quiet it is . angelina jolie’s film—about the khmer rouge regime that killed one quarter of the population of cambodia between the years of 1975 and 1979—is based on a memoir by human - rights activist loung ung , who was 5 years old when the khmer rouge came to power . jolie runs with this premise , telling the story of a people through the eyes of a little girl . as a result , the film is an impressionistic , fragmented , sometimes slow affair , one that interweaves tragic and disturbing moments with quiet and hopeful ones . and , by and large , the artistic strategy pays off .
i love this drama so much . . . n would love to meet the cast someday . . . especially i get crazy watching the chemistry between lee joon and jung so min . . . if ever i meet them i would freakingling hug lee hoon for so acting so well . . . . mmmuuuuaaahhh to lee joon . . . . . is their anyway to send gifts to the cast of my father is strange . . . can anybody give me the address to send gifts from india . . . . i hope there are more episodes . . . just keep rolling guys . . . . please don ' t end the show . . .
though it ' s safe to say that
first they killed my father
is not a film that most hollywood studios would have jumped at the idea of making , netflix agreed early on to back it .
it is true that this type of film would be difficult to make at a major studio because it it lacks star power and is in a foreign language ,
said scott stuber , who oversees netflix ' s growing slate of original feature films .
we are fortunate because , for us , we have over 100 million members around the world who have unique and diverse tastes , and we have seen the power of good storytelling traveling globally .
update , writethru after sunday 11 : 01 pm exclusive : angelina jolie ’s first they killed my father has been set as the cambodian submission for the best foreign language film oscar . deadline reported late sunday night that confirmation of the selection was imminent , and early monday morning the cambodia oscar selection committee made it official . the netflix title , directed and co - written by jolie , is about author and human rights activist loung ung’s life under the rule of the deadly khmer rouge . it premiered in telluride and then went on to toronto where it won strong praise . the story is told through ung’s eyes , from the age of five , when the khmer rouge came to power .
life lessons : never watch a 52 episode awesome family drama with awesome casts when your exams are near . i was binge watching this every single day ! so addictive and the story was portrayed so beautifully . my fav couple : lee joon and jung so min . . . the chemistry was just there .
this ep probably would make ahn jong hee be the first to realize that father is really weird for some reason . . . i wouldnt spoil . . . i just want to leave the hype here that it gave me ! ! ! its getting more and more interesting as they add new eps in the drama and thats really something ! i hope it gets the rating it deserves !
wow super love this drama and all the actors too . waiting / anticipating for the coming weeks episode . this the second 50 eps drama i ' ve watched after wolgyesu tailor shop and all i can say is my time watching this drama is worth it since its simply the best . . heart , heart . .
first they killed my father : a daughter of cambodia remembers , which debuted on netflix on friday , is jolie’s fourth turn behind the camera as a feature film director and her third as a chronicler of war . her first , which she also wrote and produced , was in the land of blood and honey ( 2011 ) , a romantic drama set in sarajevo amid the bosnian war . the next was 2014’s unbroken —another war drama , this time chronicling olympian louis zamperini’s time as a pow in japan after surviving at sea on a raft for 47 days . these projects are ambitious , well - chosen , and a little boring . her new film , which is the best of the three , nevertheless furthers that trend .
jolie’s movie typically sees those victims as a huge anonymous mass of roving refugees . clustered together as families , these people are , for the most part , unlikely to survive . otherwise , they’re the soldiers themselves , who are indistinct by choice : the angkar , the ruling party of communist rebels , did not believe in individuality . but everyone else did . hence the dissatisfaction of peering into a face like ung’s when the movie reduces her to a silent witness . she’s a little girl who stands in for many—too many . and her immediate family—four siblings , her mother , and her father—are equally indistinct . they have no character , no ideas , no experiences beyond their pain . this is fiction filmmaking that , despite occasionally feverish editing and a few gracefully askew shots , nevertheless aspires to documentary plainness . no amount of jumpy impressionism—one of jolie’s more tired stylistic ticks as a director—distracts from the bland predictability of the movie’s ethics . first they killed my father is , adamantly , a film that believes that by merely documenting atrocities through the eyes of those who witnessed them , it can also , automatically , sell itself as a movie about those witnesses .

deiva magan was first tamil film sent by india to the oscars in the best foreign language film category .
the film gets tremendous title value as deiva magan is vikram ' s grandfather sivaji ganesan ' s evergreen super hit .
deiva magan will see the very talented vikram playing a role of a mentally challenged person . there has been recent talks that director a . l . vijay and vikram are giving a second thought regarding the title of the movie deiva magan .
' deiva magan ' starring meera jasmine in the lead role went to the floors a few weeks ago . the film reportedly has rechristened as ' adhi narayana ' .

deiva magan ( 1969 ) language : tamil director : a c tirulokchandar cast : sivaji ganesan , jayalalithaa deiva magan was a triple whammy with sivaji ganesan playing three roles - a father , and his twin sons . he was widely praised for all three performances - the father unable to bear the sight of his scarred son , the timid brother and his angst - ridden twin .
now the reason behind this change of mind is that vikram prabhu will be marking his entry as an actor soon . this particular movie will be directed by ameer and surprisingly they have decided to choose the title deiva magan for the project . well the fact that deiva magan was sivaji ganesan’s blockbuster hit ( grandpa of vikram prabhu ) makes it a bit more special for the to - be hero .
jayalalithaa recalled that he directed anbey va ( her mentor and aiadmk founder mg ramachandran starrer - movie ) deiva magan , engiruntho vanthal , dharmam engey and enga mama , in which she played the lead roles .

things have now cleared up with vijay and vikram deciding on the title ‘deiva thiru magan’ . earlier , there were rumors that this flick has been titled ‘pitha’ but that also did not materialize with another filmmaker refusing to part with the title .
the film ' s director vettri vendhan , said , ' we chose the name ' deiva magan ' because we felt it was an appropriate title for the story . however due to some unforeseen circumstances , we are forced to go for a title change . '
now it is clear that since vikram prabhu is debuting with deiva magan , the title will not be given by sivaji productions under any circumstances . meanwhile al vijay and mohan natrajan are looking around for a new title for their under production film , which is fast nearing completion .
deiva magan had the distinction of first tamil films , which went for academy awards for best foreign language film category . he had directed jayalalithaa in avan thaan manithan . he also directed rajinikanth in vanakatthukuriya kadhaliye . his hindi movies include dharmendra’s main bhi ladku hoon and teri kasam .

he had directed legendary mgr for anbe vaa for avm and 25 films with nadigar thilagam sivaji ganesan . his combo with sivaji worked wonders at box office , especially he specialised in remakes of other language films into tamil in his own inimitable style . with sivaji , he wielded megaphone for memorable films like thangai , iru malargal , enga mama , engirundho vandhaal , bharata vilas and deiva magan among others .
stalin rajangam , writer , who has extensively written on the ‘caste component and narrative structures of tamil films concurs . he says that thevar magan was first of its kind with stronger idioms of caste and glorification of caste - based practices . [ 23 ] tamil writer s . ramakrishnan said that thevar magan captured the very essence of the south tamil nadu’s rural culture . [ 25 ]
the film buff’s passion for worthy reels of the past makes him see mere borrowing of titles as unfair moves . so he’s relieved when the new thiruvilaiyaadal is forced to have an add - on — aarambam — after a hue and cry from sivaji ganesan fans . ( the film was a landmark in the thespian’s career . ) more recently , deiva magan ( again the earlier film’s hero was ganesan ) had to be changed to deiva thirumagal , albeit for a different reason . now , naan , the jayalalitha - ravichandran starrer and a runaway success of the 1960s will soon have a namesake in the form of vijay antony’s naan .

thevar magan scenes inspired from godfather : in godfather , marlon brando death scene while playing with his grand son and similarly sivaji ganasen ' s death scene in the movie thevar magan while playing with his grand daughters . even though the essence of those scenes are similar , the style and construction are different . there are also another scene inspiration for rajni kanth ' s annamalai , rajni hits his sister ' s husband for torturing her . there is a similar scene in godfather too where al pacino does it .
deiva magan ( english : divine son ) is a 1969 tamil language film starring sivaji ganesan in a triple role . sivaji ganesan enacted three roles for the second time in his career after bale pandiya . [ 1 ] he acted as a father and two sons . [ 2 ] the film has pandari bai and jayalalitha as the female lead . the film was the first ever tamil film to be submitted by india in contest for the academy award for best foreign language film . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] the film had a song deivamae deivamae sung by t . m . soundararajan
ram ; is daiva magan the film where 2 shivajis have a scarred face ? well ; it ' s very good film . but no nedd to remake as the film is good to watch even now . if they remke ; kamal can be preferred first and ajith or vikram next .
it’s ironical that despite anbe vaa’s extraordinary success , thirulok never got to make another mgr film but became sivaji’s favoured director and lavished his cinematic skills on the thespian , as for example in the latter’s triple role tour de force , deiva magan . sivaji’s forte in portraying tragic heros stood out in thirulok’s babu ( remade from malayalam odayil ninnu ) and avanthaan manidhan ( from kannada ) . the director’s skill in portraying national integration stood out in bharata vilas , while his yen for comedy was seen in anbe aaruyire . thirulok’s iru malargal , a love triangle comprising sivaji , padmini and k . r . vijaya that he directed for veteran sound engineer and studio owner dinshaw tehrani was eminently successful .
before you confuse yourself over the title , its âmadrasapattinamâ director vijay that weâre talking about . the director has started calling shots for his next movie âdeiva maganâ starring vikram and anushka . a low affair opening ceremony was held to mark the beginning of the movie that is produced by mohan natarajan . the first schedule of the movie is slated to be held shortly after deepavali in ooty . buzz is that âdeiva maganâ is a remake of a hollywood flick âiâm samâ thatâs a story of a mentally challenged man , obviously played by vikram in the tamil version . anushka apparently plays a role of a lawyer , going by the story of the english version . director vijay would have changed his script to suit his audiences . more updates about this movie , coming up !

in 1986 , muktha srinivasan initially planned to direct a film based on american film godfather with sivaji ganesan and kamal haasan however the project was dropped after kamal haasan ' s then associate ananthu felt that it would be a ganesan - focused film and not a kamal haasan film as ananthu thought that haasan would fit the role better . the project was dropped . [ 5 ] influential and prolific malayalam filmmaker bharathan was approached by kamal haasan to direct thevar magan for which he scripted . the film was said to be an adaptation of 1972 american film the godfather . [ 6 ] this was bharathan ' s last film in tamil . haasan said it was the first film which was written using a screenwriting software called

. [ 7 ] kamal initially thought of naming the film as nammavar but ilayaraja suggested him to name the film as thevar magan to which kamal agreed . [ 8 ]
balaji , personally i don ' t like this . espcially if someone remakes billa then it will god - awful attempt . . not to forget billa itself was a remake : - ) of don . now they have remade don in hindi . should we have to see a remake of billa as well : - ) remake > remake > remake > remake ! omg ! god save tamil film world ! doing a remake of yesteryear movies will not only make serious comedies , but will also signify the lack of scripts in tamil . btw , i don ' t think the script in varalaaru was pretty weak . the script was pretty good . the first 40 mins and last mins masala turned it into a mixed package . i know in this space won ' t agree with me / this statement : - ) iwould say it was much close to deiva magan in script ! the narration went down ! and the long making of the film added enough insult to the injury ! : - )
thevar magan ( english : son of thevar ) [ lower - alpha 1 ] is a 1992 indian tamil drama film directed by bharathan . the film stars sivaji ganesan , kamal haasan , nassar , revathi and gouthami in pivotal roles . the film ' s soundtrack album and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja while the cinematography was handled by p . c . sriram . the film ' s script was written by kamal haasan who also produced the film along with his brother chandra haasan under the production company raaj kamal films international .
g . dhananjayan in his book pride of tamil cinema - 1931 - 2013 stated
this film is a treat to the eyes not only because of p . c . sreeram ' s cinematography , but also because of the presence of some of the best actors from south
. [ 8 ] tamil magazine ananda vikatan in its review dated 8 november 1992 appreciated the film mentioned
for kamal , the film is another milestone . . . the film ' s naturalism is greatly enhanced by equal opportunity given to all actors in the film . .
. [ 8 ] behindwoods praised sivaji ganesan ' s performance calling it
one of the finest in tamil cinema . .
. [ 50 ] indiaglitz stated
if , ‘nayagan’ was epic , ‘devar magan’ is way above all adjectives
. [ 51 ] rediff stated
kamal ' s story and script , and bharatan ' s powerful direction , made this a film to savor
. [ 2 ]
it was sivaji’s tragedy that , as the years progressed , opportunities for him to display his acting talent became scarce . but he did act in cameo roles , often stealing the scenes , as in thevar magan , which won him the national awards jury’s special jury award in 1993 . ( sivaji , incidentally , declined the award . ) ironically , the man hailed as the greatest actor of tamil cinema never won an indian national award for best actor . he was conferred the dadasaheb phalke lifetime achievement award for meritorious service to indian cinema in 1997 . the tamil film journal pesum padam gave him the honorific ‘nadigar thilagam’ ( doyen of actors ) . sivaji was honoured with the titles padma shri and padma bhushan and the tamil nadu government conferred on him the kalaimamani award . the french government honoured him with chevalier in the order of arts and literature . in sri lanka he received the title ‘kalaikkurusil’ from the then radio ceylon . sivaji ganesan passed away at a chennai hospital on 21 july 2011 . although the brightest star in the tamil film firmament is no more , sivaji ganesan’s films are there to provide pleasure to his fans and keep his memory alive .
interesting topic , bb . you made some nice observations . i agree with you on the point that people would inevitably say ,
if it aint broken , dont fix it .
raja parvai - puhleezzz ! the kamal - madhavi romance has to be ' experienced ' to be believed . andha birthday scene onnu porumey . yes , masala potboilers are easy to remake . the list is endless but here ' s my list of what i think would be the more interesting ( more importantly , challenging ) remakes : 1 . galatta kalyanam - a zany comedy that could be adapted with some talented comedians and more ' modern ' situations . 2 . nool veli ( k . balachander ) - the director of azhagiye theeye could handle material like this . someone please change the ridicuuuulous climax to this otherwise brilliant movie . powerful , controversial , ageless . hell , its k b ! 3 . netrikann - am sure sj suryah will say ,
naan panren naan panren !
but though adult , the movie is still very , very funny . anyone other than sjs who can handle adult material w / o turning it into a sleaze fest . 4 . pagal nilavu - a good movie that if remade could be made into a very good one if the director knows what to retain and what to throw out the window ( to begin with , counder ' s
comedy
) . the aggressive youth character will never die in thamizh cinema ! 5 . dheiva magan - am sure people who love sivaji more than i do , will be thinking ,
you must be kidding !
but if ppl . can make a soththa script in varalaaru into a big hit , they should make this one a big hit as well . . . three v a r i e d characters . . . any takers ? ! ps : yes , am way too protective of kamal haasan ' s films to recommend any !
the passing away of sivaji ganesan on july 21 , 2001 , will remain a dark hour in the history of tamil cinema . a year has gone by , but the immense talent of the actor will be remembered and revered forever , writes a . v . ashok .
sivaji ganesan raised an amazing body of work from
parasakthi
( 1952 ) to
thanga padakkam
( 1974 ) that is unequalled in the history of indian cinema . he was the most gifted actor of our times and a complete artiste in whom voice , diction , looks , face , expression , posture , gesture and presence miraculously combined to create a histrionic charisma of haunting intensity and awesome dignity .
endowed with a sterling voice that he magically modulated , sivaji excelled in histrionics of aural splendour that beautifully brought to the fore the glory of the tamil language .
it is no exaggeration to say that sivaji ' s heroic outpouring as veerapandiya kattabomman is an integral part of the tamil cultural psyche . alongside his enchanting voice , sivaji was gifted with a malleable face that so naturally accepted any type of moustache and hairstyle and that inflected an infinite range of expressions from royal majesty to rustic simplicity .
superadded to voice and face was sivaji ' s singular gift of mesmerising bodily postures and gestures that he aesthetically used with inventive embellishment in his art of characterisation .
all the intensity , wonder , and dignity of sivaji ' s histrionics were in place even in his very first film and in that poignant courtroom
still
deeply etched in the tamil imagination .
sivaji scaled a new and brilliant standard of histrionics in the 1960s in a captivating series of films of family melodrama directed by bhimsingh :
bagappirivinai
,
padikatha medhai
,
paava manippu
,
paasamalar
,
palum pazhamum
,
paarthal pasitheerum
,
padithaal mattum podhumaa
,
paar magale paar
and
pachai villaku
. whether it was a patriot like v . o . chidambaram pillai or a mythological character like karnan or a saint like appar or a monarch like raja raja chozhan or an aristocrat or a middle class householder or a village idiot or even the lord himself , sivaji composed manifold portraits of attractive form and soulful depth .
the veteran had a flair for comedy too . . . with ` thengai ' srinivasan and nagesh in
anjal petti 520
.
it is not so much the staggering range of sivaji ' s roles that inspires awe but far more importantly that sivaji crafted his infinite roles from the inside with uncanny understanding . all the memorable roles of sivaji are manifestations of one sovereign role : that of a custodian of culture .
with lip - sync of stunning perfection , sivaji revealed an unattainable dimension of his own , in rendering songs . t . m . soundararajan ' s resonant voice and viswanathan - ramamoorthy ' s lilting music also made sivaji ' s songs a perennial delight .
sivaji enacted philosophical songs with gripping seriousness and love songs with vivacious joy . his songs sung as a husband in the company of the wife while musing over an hour of sorrow in the family are deeply moving images of conjugal spirituality . sivaji was much more than an actor . for an entire generation , he was synonymous with
excellence
. sivaji is the only indian actor who leaves us awestruck by the stupendous scale of his achievement and makes us curious about the source of his genius .

the first tamil film which impacted on me greatly during childhood was ‘veera pandiya kattabomman’ . it was a kind of bio - picture about a ‘paalayakkaaran’ or polygar ( feudal chieftain ) who defied the british during the last decade of the 18th century and paid the supreme penalty . kattabomman whose full name was veera pandiya kattabomma karuthaiyya nayakkar governed an area known as paanchaalankurichi which is in the thoothukkudi district of tamil nadu state in india . i was five years old when i first saw the film with my parents at elphinstone theatre . the upper portions of the theatre were encased in hardboard , resembling the structure of a fortress . there were two cut - outs on either side of two men with upraised swords on horses . in the middle was another cut - out of a man literally taking a bull by its horns . the two horsemen were kattabomman played by the actor sivaji ganesan and his brother kumaraswamy alias ommaithurai played by oak devar . the
man taming the bull was vellaiyhathevan , the commander of kattabomman’s forces . the actor was gemini ganesan . my family was living in hulftsdorp then . the film which played at elphinstone , maradana moved on to gaiety , kotahena . i can recall seeing the film four times at elphinstone and twice at gaiety . this was because several relatives and family friends took me along when they went to see the film as those in our family circle knew how crazy i was about this particular film kattabomman . even in later years i never missed seeing it when an old print was screened in a theatre . nowadays in canada i have a dvd of the film which i view occasionally if not regularly .
the magic of the movie to me at that time was the portrayal of kattabomman by the doyen of tamil actors , sivaji ganesan . the highlight of that performance was the powerful delivery of fiery dialogue by the film hero kattabomman played by sivaji . i memorised the dialogue ( written by sakthi t . k . krishnasamy ) from ‘veera pandiya kattabomman’ in those days and repeated them with appropriate mannerisms to entertain family , relatives , classmates and friends . two remarkable passages lingering in memory still are the verbal duels between kattabomman and jackson ( played by c . r . parthiban ) and kattabomman and bannerman ( played by javer seetharaman ) . unlike most of the actors seen in the tamil films of today , sivaji ganesan spoke tamil on screen the way the mellifluous , vibrant language should be spoken . it is no exaggeration to say that he was the role model for many of my generation in pronouncing tamil dialogue in dramas . it is in this context of reviving memories about the first tamil film to impact upon me greatly that i focus the ‘spotlight’ this time on its hero sivaji ganesan , about whom i have written extensively in the past . the man regarded as the greatest thespian of post - independence tamil cinema passed away on 21 july 2001 , three months short of his 73rd birthday . though known as sivaji , that was not his real name . it was a name bestowed upon him for playing the role of sivaji in a popular drama .
sivaji was no stranger to sri lanka . his movies ran to packed houses in the island . several of his films were adapted and remade in sinhala . substantial portions of the films ‘pilot premnath’ and ‘mohanapunnagai’ starring sivaji were shot in sri lankan locales with sri lankan artistes malani fonseka and geetha kumarasinghe in the lead female roles . ‘pilot premnath’ in 1978 was an indo - sri lankan co - production directed by a . c . trilokachander . shot in many scenic places in sri lanka , the film had a lively baila type song ‘udarata menike’ sung in lilting tones by l . r . easwari and a . e . manoharan , which had audiences’ foot - tapping in india and sri lanka . but the most popular song was ‘ilankayin ilankuyil’ ( the young cuckoo of sri lanka ) with vani jayaram lending her voice to malani , and t . m . soundararajan voicing for sivaji . music was by m . s . viswanathan . shot in eastman colour , this film was about an air ceylon pilot and his family . it ran for more than 100 days both in tamil nadu and sri lanka . ‘mohana punnagai’ starring sivaji ganesan and geetha kumarasinghe was made in 1981 . the film directed by c . v . sridhar did well in sri lanka but had an average run in tamil nadu despite the fact that it had sivaji in the lead . the beautiful song sequence picturised on geetha bathing in a waterfall - stream with sivaji taking photos from different angles was unforgettable . the song ‘thennilankai mangai’ ( south sri lanka maiden ) is sung by s . janaki to music composed by m . s . viswanathan .
p . k . balachandran , the ‘new indian express’ correspondent in colombo , in a recent article interviewed both malani and geetha about sivaji ganesan . here are excerpts : “sivaji ganesan was a great actor and a great human being too , ” enthused malani fonseka , who was his leading lady in the 1978 tamil blockbuster pilot premnath . “it was sivaji who urged me to become a producer . he would say ‘malani , you should make a no . 1 sri lankan creation , ’” malani disclosed . “a warm and friendly man , sivaji introduced me to his wife and children and invited me for dinner at his house . i was very happy to work with him . in fact , it was an honour to work with him , ” malani said in a fulsome tribute to the thespian , who is no more . geetha kumarasinghe , the lankan leading lady of yore , who was paired with the tamil thespian in mohana punnagai ( 1981 ) directed by c . v . sridhar , said sivaji was a thorough gentleman . “we got along very well even though he was in his fifties and i was only 26 . he was very knowledgeable , not just on film making , but about many other subjects , though he had not gone to any university , ” geetha recalled . geetha said she got offers from madras film makers after mohana punnagai but could not take them because she got married .
sivaji ganesan’s acting career , which began at the age of eight , could be divided into three phases – 1936 to 1952 , when he acted only on stage ; 1952 to 1974 , when he acted for the big screen and also gave stage performances ; and 1974 to 1999 , when he acted only in films . despite achieving stupendous success on the screen , sivaji remained faithful to his first love , the stage , and acted in plays for decades . with more than 300 film roles to his credit , he inspired a whole generation of artistes , virtually creating a new school of acting . essentially a creature of the stage when he entered films , sivaji ganesan brought that baggage with him and superimposed it effectively on the film medium . yet his brilliant acting made this so - called violation of screen norms the accepted norm of film acting . generations of tamils learnt to appreciate the beauty and power of the tamil language because sivaji ganesan breathed new life into it .
vizhuppuram chinniah ganesan , or v . c . ganesan , was born on 1 october 1928 , in vizhuppuram , which was then in the arcot district of the former madras presidency . his parents were chinnaiapillai mandrayer , a railway employee and freedom fighter , and rajamani , in whose name he was to launch later a successful film company , rajamani pictures . ganesan belonged to the kallar division of the mukkulathor caste . his ancestors hailed from soorakkottai in thanjavoor district . smitten by a street drama about kattabomman , the feudal polagar of panchalan - kurichi who fought the british , young ganesan became enamoured of acting and abandoned school when he was in class two . forsaking home , he along with his boyhood chum “kaka” radhakrishnan ( veteran comedian who passed away in 2012 ) joined the madurai - based bala gana sabha drama troupe first , and later the troupe run by ethaartham ponnusamipillai . from child roles he graduated to female roles and then on to the “raja part , ” the role of the hero , as it was known then . the first landmark in his career was his portrayal of the maratha warrior sivaji in the drama ‘sivaji kanda indhu rajyam’ written by dravida kazhagham and later dravida munnetra kazhagam leader c . n . annadurai , who went on to become the tamil nadu chief minister . e . v . ramaswamy , the patriarch of the dravidian movement , acclaimed his stellar performance and referred to ganesan as ‘sivaji’ ganesan . this was in 1946 . the sobriquet stuck .
sivaji ganesan played a wide range of characters , from god and king to commoner . whether it was the mercurial chola emperor raja raja cholan , lord siva , lord muruga , saivite saint appar , vaishnavite saint periyaalvar or tamil poet ambigapathy , sivaji

sivaji ganesan played a wide range of characters , from god and king to commoner . whether it was the mercurial chola emperor raja raja cholan , lord siva , lord muruga , saivite saint appar , vaishnavite saint periyaalvar or tamil poet ambigapathy , sivaji was always at his scintillating best . he was equally splendid in contemporary roles and stereotypes making every performance a memorable one
sivaji’s chief lead actor contemporaries were “puratchi nadigar” m . g . ramachandran ( mgr ) , his namesake gemini ganesan ( kadhal mannan ) and “ilatchiya nadigar” s . s . rajendran ( ssr ) . the only film he acted together with mgr was the controversial ‘koondukkili’ by t . r . ramanna . with gemini he acted in many hits like pennin perumai , pathi bhakthi , veerapandiya kattabomman , paarthaal pasi theerrum , paasamalar , pandha pasam , kappalottiya thamizhan , saraswathy sabatham , thiruvarutselvar and unakkaaha naan . he also acted with ssr in films like parasakthi , rajarani , aalayamani , shanthi , pachai vizhakku , pzhani , kaikodutha deivam , etc his younger son prabhu known as “ilaya thilagham” has also made his mark in films as an actor . prabhu was a very successful hero in the eighties and nineties with many of his movies breaking box office records . sivaji’s elder son ramkumar keeps the home production company sivaji films ticking . the box - office record breaking ‘chandramukhi’ starring rajnikanth was their production . now prabu’s son and sivaji’s grandson vikram prabu too has begun acting and done well in films like ‘kumki’ and ‘arima nambi’ .
