puthiya vaarpugal is a 1979 tamil comedy , drama film , directed by bharathiraja and produced by manoj creations . this film stars k . bhagyaraj , rati agnihotri , goundamani in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by kannadasan , muthulingam , gangai amaran .
of the lot , my favourite ending is the one in pudhiya vaarpugal , an otherwise unremarkable movie that features bhagyaraj as a village schoolteacher who falls in love with a local belle ( rati agnihotri ) . after having the teacher hounded out of the village , the local bigwig decides to have the girl for himself . he makes it seem that she is having an affair with one of his cronies , and gets her married to him . on the wedding night , he asks her husband to leave so that he could do the honours , so to speak . by this time , the girl has reached a state where all that remains is a grim determination to do what is right by her — a recurring leitmotif in bharathiraja’s movies . up to this point , whatever happens is familiar territory , so when she kills the bigwig to save her virtue , i was not too surprised .

this is rati agnihotri ' s first film , and it made her an overnight star in south indian films .
bharathiraja and ilayaraja come together in a fascinating rustic tale of love , conservatism and rebellion . told in the poetic fashion that the director later over - exploited , it remains as engaging as it must have been all those years ago . ilayaraja is in his element . when are we going to listen to such rhythms ?

wait a minute ! wait a minute ! you ain ' t heard nothin ' yet .
most people would agree that bharathiraja was one of tamil cinema’s foremost directors in the late seventies and eighties , along with k . balachander and mani rathnam . but where kb and mani brought an urban sensibility and sophistication to tamil cinema , bharathiraja reinvented the village on celluloid . he epitomized earthiness . the acting in many of his movies was raw , almost too staged to be real . but somehow , none of that seemed to detract from their emotional power . i think it is because the stories he told were undeniably powerful .
in terms of storytelling ability , the man had one skill that was unmatched by any of his contemporaries . he knew how to craft a powerful ending . his trick was simple : he placed his characters in environments defined by very restrictive social mores , and for the most part , he let it seem like they wanted to play by the rules . even when they embarked upon something transgressive , like a love affair between two people of different religions ( alaigal oivathillai ) , they craved acceptance . he did this long enough and well enough that you , as a viewer , wanted the environment to accept them as well . and then , right at the very end , he pushed his characters to a point where they no longer cared , and even a simple gesture of rebellion had the impact of a sledgehammer .
what surprised me , though , is what happens next . the husband , who has by now developed something of a conscience , tells her that she did the right thing , rips her thali from her neck ( signifying that their sham of a marriage is over ) and helps her elope with the schoolteacher who has returned to claim her . he then takes his master’s body to a nearby hay pile and hides it in there , in time for the villagers to light it as part of a village festival , and then scurries away into the dark .
maybe it is because he is played by goundamani , an actor best known for his loud comic roles . but those last few minutes absolutely blew me away . even today , when i watch that movie , it seems just as surprising and gratifying .
brilliant analysis . i haven’t seen this film but i am ultra curious now . i have seldom come across a rustic tamizh village sequence being understood and analysed so beautifully . more often than not , we miss the finesse and the complexity of such a scene owing to an urban prejudice of controlled exposition . i have seen numerous tamizh films set in the village milieu that i loved but this freeze frame post has given me a new perspective to understand them .
people like sarath kumar have made a career out of the “mora pillai” idea but there is surely is a lot more to films set in rural tamizh nadu . i particularly recall being impressed with bharathiraja after watching vedam pudidu , kizhake pogum rail , alaigal oyivadhulai and seegapu rojakal . the last one being significantly different in story telling and execution compared to the other ones .
on a slightly different note , i am unable to recollect many hindi films post 1990 set in rural india . lagaan and jodha akbar being period films are not exactly in this category and neither is swades .
you’re right – i can’t think of a great village film in hindi in recent times . virasat probably came close , and that too was a remake ( of thevar magan ) .
there isn’t much by way of groundbreaking village cinema coming out these days in tamil either . there is the occasional pithamagan or paruthiveeran — a different kind of film to be sure , but thankfully just as fascinating . then again , the proportion of crap to good cinema was probably just as high back then — we just pick the good ones in retrospect .
in some ways , what bharathiraja brought to the table was a view of the village as a world of its own , with its ( sometimes strange ) beliefs and customs . some of it still exists — i remember watching the female infanticide portrayed in karuthamma with a sort of horrified fascination . while he used these customs sometimes as a plot device ( notably in kizhakke pogum rayil ) , it was clear that he took it all quite seriously , and that honesty somehow shone through . later movies mostly took the formula , but shortchanged the sincerity .
somehow i don’t think bharathiraja was as successful in making an urban film . sigappu rojakkal was more of a notable exception . movies like tick tick tick or the later captain magal turned out to fall woefully short of the mark .
semi - urban , i think . kesu is chosen over langda because of his connections t5o the student body , if i remember right . and that sort of a plot point might not make so much sense in a completely rural setting .
more recently , there have been movies like ishqiya , peepli live , dabang , well done abba , welcome to sajjanpr etc which had a rural setting . on bharatiraja’s powerful endings , i watched this movie kallukkul eeram ( in which he’s given credit for screenplay & direction supervision ) which too had a dramatic and unexpected twist . ilaiyaraja’s brilliant bgm in the last 10 mins led one to think there was going to be a predictable happy ending only to be jolted with a shocking denouement

sundar , my mom loves this movie so much . there is a reason behind it . i am telling u some thing bagyaraj was my moms classmate in mani highschool in coimbatore along with nizhalgal ravi . but k . b was in peelamedu where my granny ' s house was . and u know when kb entered movies my mom and her friends were waiting for hrs to get the ticket of the movie to see their school mate : ) ) ) ) ) she now wants to sakkarakatti . i told her its a horrible movie but still she wants to see her friends son ' s acting . . . . : )
hei ! thats lovely da . . . : ) : ) bagyaraj ' s classmate ! ! : )
this is one movie i am longing to watch . interestingly , ir had attempted something very unique in the song
thamthana thamthana
; the song has pallavi and anu pallavi but no charanam . that is even the charanams have same tune and hence , effectively there is no charanam . for more on the song , check this post urltoken i think even the parent thread would be of interest to you as it discusses some of the unique attempts of ir . urltoken
cha . . cosmicu . . appappo ipdi touch pannariyeyppa ! ! : ) that was a very interesting info . . [ will chek out the links once i get a better network ]
as said by every one , the song
thamthana thamthana
kindles our heart even now when we hear the song , the song gels very well with the scene and only ilayaraja can create such a master piece . u can see the mix of chorus , folk , indian classical and western in this song , i am just overwhelmed by the excellent composition of this song , one cannot imagine such a point perfect fusion of various types of strings , chords , chorus and rythm . only a talented music director can deliver such a master piece . even now many light music troupes find it very difficult to reproduce the same music , not only this song but many songs of ilayaraja are very difficult to reproduce . as clearly told by s . p balasubramanian , it will take another 100 years for another music genius to be born like ilayaraja . maestro ! we salute your talent . may your fame spread across all corners of the world
once watch . now , this is going to be long . ( has some spoilers too ) with kaala , pa . ranjith has rewritten ramayanam . in his version , t . . .
it all began in aug 2007 . now i ' m in a middle management role which is basically like that of a home maker - no one notices your work , . . .
the school life culminates in the twelfth class ( xii standard ) ; no wonder the stress levels of the kids also peak around the time . i vivid . . .

there are no featured reviews for alsino y el cóndor ( alsino and the condor ) at this time .
littin , miguel , and others , alsino y el condor , nicaragua , 1982 .
miguel littin’s “alsino and the condor” concerns the relationship between an american pilot ( dean stockwell ) and a nicaraguan boy who becomes a hero when joining the guerrillas fighting the somoza regime .
like the work of gabriel garcia marquez , who is one of the outspoken supporters of this film , alsino and the condor is a mixture of poetry , political reality and fantasy .
looking for movie tickets ? enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing alsino y el condor near you .
though ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is sorrowful , it is never sentimental , which , for mr . littin , a chilean director living in exile in mexico , is as much of an accomplishment as getting the film produced at all . ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is the first fiction feature ever made in nicaragua .
littin has entered the oscar stakes twice before — in 1976 ( for mexico’s “letters from marusia” ) and 1983 ( for nicaragua’s “alsino and the condor” ) . this is the first time he’s repping his home country .

alsino et le condor—une allegorie pour un pays neuf
in image et son ( paris ) , may 1984 .
alsino & the condor is a multinational production , utilizing financing from nicaragua , mexico , cuba and costa rica . the film is related from the point of view of alsino ( alan esquivel ) , an impoverished nicaraguan lad . while his country and its rotting buildings crumble all around him , the idealistic alsino imagines himself to be a condor , flying far above his deprivations . it is during one of his hallucinations that alsino jumps from a tree ; the fall cripples him , turning him into a hunchback . he will only straighten out to his full proud height upon joining a guerilla band , fighting the corrupt government armies . significantly , alsino & the condor was the first production to be filmed in nicaragua after the sandinista revolution and the overthrow of somoza ~ hal erickson , rovi
' ' alsino and the condor ' ' was one of the five nominees for this year ' s foreign - language film academy award , won by spain ' s ' ' to begin again . ' '
alsino and the condor got me thinking of a documentary about u . s . army boot camp i saw in a sociology class many years ago . the psychological warping of military service knows no national boundaries .
the production and costume design spotlighted the high and low worlds of the celebrated fashion desi . . .

alsino y el condor , made at the time of the sandinista overthrow of the somoza regime in nicaragua , is an allegory of the nicaraguan people rising up to meet their oppressor . the film is a mexican - cuban - nicaraguan co - production , yet despite this , it has the distinctive littin touch .
' ' alsino and the condor , ' ' a co - production of nicaragua ( where it was made ) , mexico , cuba and costa rica , is a film about injustice and revolution , not looked at directly but seen , as if in passing , by alsino , a solemn little peasant boy who , more than anything else , wants to fly .
there is a contrast between alsino ' s dreams and the realities of his country as it heads towards revolution . alsino likes to climb trees and to imagine himself flying . his dreams are ignited by the us army helicopter that begins to hover over his head . alsino wants to fly . the fact that the helicopter is fighting the very people who want to liberate his own people is lost on him . alsino ' s dreams are the dreams of his people , although as he is a child he cannot realize this and it is only after he falls from the tree and becomes hunchbacked that he becomes conscious of reality . after meeting the guerilla he returns home to find his town abandoned and his mamabuela dead , the dutch postcards burnt and scattered to the wind , like his dreams . alsino becomes one of the guerillas himself . finally understanding the war and foreign aggression he can fly on the wings of his dreams of freedom .
the movie , which was one of this year ' s oscar nominees for best foreign films , takes place in nicaragua during the fighting with honduras . american advisers work with the government in the war against the guerrillas . helicopters , troop carriers and tanks come and go across the lush landscape where the peasants plow their fields in the rain , and the little boy , alsino , becomes enraptured by the sight of the airborne soldiers .
the hero of the film is 10 - year - old alsino , a dreamer . he lives with his mamabuela , an old lady shrouded in the mystery of her past , who bewitches alsino with travel tales of her dead sailor - husband and shows him old postcards from amsterdam .
like the work of gabriel garcia marquez , who is one of the outspoken supporters of this film ,
alsino and the condor
is a mixture of poetry , political reality and fantasy . there seems to be some sort of a romantic muse at work in the films and novels of latin american artists , reminding them to decorate their tragedies with butterflies and dreams . as a result , any description of
alsino
is likely to make the film sound too factual ; it ' s a war story that takes place largely inside the mind of a dreamy little boy .
alsino and the condor
is the first fiction feature ever made in nicaragua , but its poetic intensity will make it familiar to readers of latin american literature . it makes a fascinating counterpoint to
under fire ,
the excellent thriller starring nick nolte and gene hackman as american reporters covering the fall of the somosa regime . the american film instinctively adopts a realistic approach , just as this latin film instinctively adopts a poetic one . it ' s the difference between a dramatization and a parable .
nominated for an oscar for best foreign film ,
alsino and the condor
is a potent blend of a philosophical coming - of - age fable and a sharp commentary on what was happening in the country politically . it has hints of south american magical realism as we view life through the eyes of alsino , a boy who dreams of flying . he witnesses the arrival of american soldiers in a helicopter , which inspires him to try actual flight from a tree . the war around him escalates and through it all his outlook remains steadfast , or does it ? this was also the comeback film for actor dean stockwell , who played one of american soldiers who befriends alsino .
a socialist epic recounting the struggles of revolutionary chilean peasants in the 1920s and 1930s .
at its best , ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' has something of a latin american ' ' candide ' ' about it . it ' s never uproariously funny , but it is wise and just a little bit lunatic , as when alsino , in his wanderings , comes across a good friday religious procession . the boy , stony - faced as always , goes up to relieve the burden of the man portraying christ on his way to calvary . screams the angry pilgrim , ' ' find your own cross ! ' '
it is 1925 and working conditions in chile are abysmal . the miners of marusia go on strike , but the mine owners and the government use the chilean army crush them .
alsino , a boy of 10 or 12 , lives with his grandmother in a remote area of nicaragua . he ' s engulfed in the war between rebels and government troops when a us advisor orders the army to open a staging area by the boy ' s hamlet . alsino tries to be a child , climbing trees with a girl , looking through his grandfather ' s trunk of mementos and trying to fly ; he goes to town to sell a saddle , has his first drink and is taken to a brothel . but the war surrounds him . the us advisor takes alsino on a chopper flight , but he ' s unimpressed . the soldiers ' cruelties awake rebel sympathies in alsino , and after an army assault backfires , the lad is fully baptized into the conflict .
alsino y el condor made at the time of the sandanista overthrow of the somoza regime in nicaragua , is an allegory of the nicaraguan people rising up to meet their oppressor . the film is a mexican - cuban - nicaraguan co - production , yet despite this , it has the distinctive littin touch . littin ' s shortest film to this point was criticized by some for its too blatant use of political allegory .
the very obvious allegories here are the illusion of liberty through flying , and real dictatorial oppression and north american aggression expressed by the helicopter . cultural domination is expressed by alsino ' s wanting to possess the foreign object , the helicopter—even though it represents aggression . the film is full of symbols—in fact it could be said that there is not one real character in the film , merely symbols and emblems . there are birds unable to fly because their wings have been clipped , and alsino becomes hunchbacked because he falls from a tree and only then begins to see things in a different light .
' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is full of painful scenes witnessed without apparent emotion by the boy , now a hunchback , as he wanders the nicaraguan countryside . he seems hardly to bat an eye as he passes government troops as they massacre peasants and burn their farms . until he finds political commitment , he is not beyond feeling but beyond its expression , which gives particular impact to the film ' s final freeze frame .

with desaturated , handheld lensing that often stays close to the characters , and occasionally switches to black - and - white , littin expertly captures the disorientation and anxiety of the prisoners . raw perfs from the ensemble augment the docu feel , while the violin - and - piano score is appropriately restrained . other tech credits are top - notch .
miguel littin ' s ' ' alsino and the condor , ' ' which opens today at the cinema 3 theater , is a politically angry film with the manner of a mournful fable - a very odd but haunting mix . it can ' t quite bring itself to say what ' s on its mind , but instead , like a child who is shy , it points at things with furious if silent disapproval .

set against the almost unbelievable brutality of an internecine guerilla war ( nicaragua , 1979 ) , a young boy ' s dream to fly like the birds seems almost commonplace . in his dreams alsino can fly , but when he wakes up everything is somehow different . the delightful esquivel brings to the title role a fragile passion around which the chilean film - maker littin conjures an archetypal south american world of enchantment ( the grandmother and her chest of secrets , the prostitute and the bird man , familiar from the writings of garcía márquez and others ) which can absorb intrusive realities as easily as the ever - present verdant jungle .

) is a 1982 nicaraguan film directed by miguel littín . it was nominated for the academy award for best foreign language film . it won the golden prize at the 13th moscow international film festival . the film was a co - production between nicaragua , mexico and cuba . the film is loosely based on the novel
a us adviser ( dean stockwell ) takes the kid up in a helicopter . it is one of the great experiences of his life , but it is not quite good enough .
i want to fly without the helicopter ,
he tells his friend .
i want to fly like the condor .
there is a giant , ancient tree near the village where the boy spends his free time , climbing through its enormous network of branches like a monkey . one day , dreaming of flying , he jumps out of the tree . his back is injured in the fall and he becomes a hunchback .
meanwhile , the war escalates , and so do stockwell ' s lectures . using a war map , scowling ferociously through his green - tinted shades , he talks of
containment
and
parameters ,
and of bombing the whole area into submission to remove the guerrilla ' s support base . he could easily be a villain , since the movie is frankly opposed to us military intervention on the side of totalitarianism . but
alsino
is more complicated than that , and stockwell emerges as an object of pity . his strategies and analyses are so irrelevant to what ' s going on around him that they exist mostly as his means of maintaining his own sanity .
despite limited expressionism governed by low budget , littin vocalizes a poetic coming - of - political - age tale . self - proclaimed “free man” sells caged birds , alsino sees corrupted capitalist fantasy . no wings for the people , only delusional submission to incompatible foreign ideals . while the imagery is certainly poetically evocative , the narrative could benefit from stronger , and more constantly present struggle .
despite its 22 nominations latin america has only won the oscar for best foreign language film twice . both times the winners were from argentina . the first win was in 1985 for la historia oficial ( the official story ) , set in buenos aires . in the film an upper middle class couple adopts a young girl during the dictatorship . as the country transitions to democracy they begin to suspect that she may be the child of one of the victims of the forced disappearances that occurred during the dirty war , known as los desaparecidos .
miguel littin , chilean director in exile and former head of chile films , flirted with magic realism , a style increasingly popular in fiction and following on from this , cinema , in the 1970s , with el recurso del metodo , and then returned to the chileans - in - exile theme of direct criticism and allegories of the political events in chile with alsino y el condor . nearly all those involved in chile films during allende ' s brief tenure in office in the country were thrown out of chile after pinochet ' s takeover of power in 1973 ( some after a period of imprisonment ) , and despite money difficulties , some managed to keep up a form of film production . those who did so were mostly in socialist regimes—the soviet union or cuba—but because of his contacts in the mexican film business , miguel littin was able to continue his career there . this mass exodus of filmmakers from chile who actually managed to continue filmmaking , and provide an alternative point of view to the very small number of films produced under pinochet at this time , lead to the peculiar situation of almost an entire country ' s film output being made in exile .
the us tried to occupy nicaragua in 1927 . general cesar augusto sandino and his guerrillas begin armed resistance .
this film was respected in the west and even nominated for an academy award for best foreign film , although its obvious and heavy - handed political allegory was too much for the north american critics . cine cubano , however , loved it , and praised it for the beauty of using the innocent eyes of childhood awakening to political consciousness as the medium for the message . one could say , however , that littin ' s vision has never been so schematized before and presents a very simplified vision of a country ' s problems .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …

if no gets enough votes it will be the first time a chilean film is nominated in the foreign language film category . what are chile’s chances ? well , if we take a look back at the latin american nominees and winners of the best foreign language film award , the odds don’t look so good .
overall , i found the film uneven but affecting . it ' s heavy on symbolism and the absurdities of war , and that it is rather messy and confused at times mirrors that content . reynaldo miravalles gives a good performance as don nazario . in one remarkable shot , the upturned faces of newly - massacred civilians rise just above the surface of a shimmering river . that shot could have been gorgeous , but nicaragua in the early 80s was a rough place , and this is not a particularly attractive film ; as is , the shot…
after the 1973 coup that deposed allende and brought pinochet to power in chile , the former members of his cabinet are imprisoned on dawson island , the world ' s southernmost concentration . . . see full summary »
the last 7 hours of former president of chile salvador allende , and his closest collaborators inside the palace of la moneda , during the brutal military coup d ' etat on sept . 11 , 1973 , the day democracy in chile ended . based on true events .
mr . littin is most at ease , and most effective , when he keeps to the point of view of alsino , very nicely played by alan esquivel , who looks a little like the boy in francois truffaut ' s ' ' wild child . ' ' the movie is a fairy tale turned inside out . here the monster is not transformed into a prince , but the prince into a monster , at least physically , who eventually finds a more important kind of release in a new identity as a sandinist rebel .
after the 1973 coup resulted in allende’s suicide , the surviving allende ministers and closest government collaborators were sent to a concentration camp on dawson island . the unwelcoming , isolated and sparsely populated isle northwest of cape horn — used by littin for his shoot — effectively made them disappear from view .
on arriving , the men are assigned only the name of their barracks and a number , with former mining minister sergio bitar ( benjamin vicuna ) receiving the titular “dawson island 10 . ” though the film is nominally based on the bitar’s own book , “isla 10 , ” he’s only a bit player here : littin prefers an overview of what the men went through , breaking up their experiences into little scenes that cover many prisoners , guards and events .
this approach , reinforced by the guards’ habit of referring to everyone by number rather than by name , highlights the way in which the system tried to stamp out any individuality . but without anyone to identify with , it also makes it harder for auds to buy into the story emotionally . the attempted escapes , “happy” christmas celebrations , desire for news from home and thawing relationships with some of the guards feel like the stuff of countless other such movies .

trailer for a nicaragua / cuba / mexico / costa rica co - production . director : miguel littin starred : dean stockwell , alan esquivel original title : alsino y el cóndor dvd : no apparent official release .

argentina’s second oscar came almost twenty - five years later with el secreto de sus ojos ( the secret in their eyes ) in 2009 . in the crime thriller directed by juan josé campanella and starring ricardo darín , a retired federal agent begins to write a novel on an unsolved murder case that has haunted him for years . with its two wins , argentina remains the only latin american country to have brought home the bronze . taking into account its 22 nominations but only two oscar statuettes the odds aren’t the best for latin america as a whole and chile in particular ( zero nominations or wins ) , but let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best . chile could very well be selected this time since no is the kind of the film the academy usually goes for .
set in 1988 , no recounts the amazing real life story of a national referendum that everyone thought was destined to fail but ultimately dissolved the chilean dictatorship and ended general pinochet’s almost twenty year rule . leading up to the historic vote each side was allowed 15 minutes of late - night tv airtime every day for a month straight . gael garcía bernal stars as rene saavedra , a young , rebellious skateboard - riding advertising executive who went from selling soap and soda to heading up the campaign to vote no on keeping pinochet in power for eight more years . shot using u - matic video cameras , larraín wanted to match the look of the archival television footage woven into the film . as a result of using the same format that t . v . news was shot in during the eighties , the real - life footage seamlessly matches his purposely grainy and overexposed film . despite its dreary appearance , it is funny , uplifting , and entertaining . it’s not a slow artsy film with little dialogue ; it is perfectly paced . and together , bernal’s charm and the film’s many amusing moments end up creating a movie that will surely captivate the academy and maybe even a mainstream commercial audience .

himself an exile after pinochet toppled allende’s marxist - socialist government in 1973 , the helmer has long been one of the most politically engaged filmmakers in latin america . however , the tone of “island” is closer to humanist documentary than sociopolitical pamphlet , as littin lets the story speak for itself .

less effective as drama is mr . littin ' s portrayal of the pro - government bullies , and especially of all united states advisers , in the characterization of just one fellow , summed up in mr . stockwell ' s role . frank is seen as a well - meaning but fatally ignorant sort who , when desperate , turns brutal . there ' s nothing wrong with the concept of the character ; it ' s just that it seems to belong to another , far less subtle film .

i actually liked this movie . . . . but after reading other comments , i ' m wondering what happened to me . was i hypnotized ? was it because i was reading subtitles ? i truly did care about the little boy in this film . and the scenes of war in this central american country were heartwrenching . really hit me hard . am i a fool for propaganda ? was i being played like a violin ? i also thought dean stockwell was great in his role as the american chopper pilot . i especially loved his drunk scene - uh , maybe because it reminded me of all the fights i used to have with my ex . . . . . the one lighthearted moment in a film filled with heavy sorrows .
