hi cuties thank you all for ur comments and sry couldn’t reply to ur comments as i was busy here with some family function and i hope u will get the answers for the questions one by one and this plot will not bore u i guess……with no further delay let’s get into the plot…… . .
it was a very pleasant morning and all the birds were chriping the cool breeze the sun rays and the lawn which was decorated beautifully for the two people of the day… . . the dhols sound made everyone dance along with that the smell of the flowers that were spread on the carpet which was for the bride and the groom of the day… . . the groom was already sitting near the fire with his face covered with flower ( hanging from the sherwani cap he was wearing ) and the pandit was chanting the mantras… . .
all the members of the oberoi family was present around the mandap and they were waiting for the bride to come… . .
soon the bride also came down with her face covered with veil… . . she was wearing red color lehenga and she was looking damn pretty even with her face covered… . matching to her the groom was wearing a light red color sherwani……
the marriage rituals started and the couple were instructed to exchange the garlands… . . followed by seven rounds around the fire…… . next moment he made her wear mangalsutra and filled her hairline with sindoor ( with her face covered ) … . . the pandit announced that the marriage is over and now they are pathi patni and asked them to remove their veils…… . they obliged him and removed their veils…… their face is reviled and by now it has turned into dark red as both of them were blushing and standing in front oof elders and all wished them together as… . .
no……… ( the voice echoed the whole room ) nahi nahi aise kaesi ho saktha ? ? ? ? ? ? ? saumya weds chulbul what the wuck . ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
it was ofcourse a dream sequence of the great rudy the lady killer…but soon he’ll become chulbul killer… . .
rudra : chulbul ………… ( in an irritated voice ) first my long hair creature and now my sumo……… no never ever i will allow you near my sumo…… . she’s mine only my sumo… . . rudy’s sumo and not chul’s sumo… . ( saying so he made an crybaby face and with a jerk he got down from the bed and rushed outside… . .
saumya was pestering chulbul / gauri to accompany her till the temple holding his . . sry sry her hands……seeing this rudra’s blood boiled in jealous and that red blood might burn anyone who comes in front of him……
rudra : chulbul first you tried to become my bhabha and now you planning to become my sautan…… very bad mistake chulbul i underestimated you…… . . but not anymore you’ll have to pay for this……… ( in anger hit his legs on to the near by wall but again it backfired him and his legs got hurt and soon he ran into his room hopping )
but chulbul denied saumya with a shy face and now saumya turned to an crybaby but she pulled chulbuls cheeks and went from there coz her mom and her bhabi was already waiting for her…… . .
rudra who was in great relief went to his room and fell on the bed with a thud… . and again he closed his eyes but the same nightmare of chulya’s marriage haunted him and he ran inside the washroom to wash himself and his nightmare … . .
dadi excited about her best friends visit after long years was kneely observing the preparation and arrangements and all food each and everything was checked throughly coz she doesn’t want anything to be compromised……… .
om who was figuring out all the possible ways of regaining the deal and trying to crack the answers for his brother’s question… .
rudra who came down list in his own stupid nightmare came and sat near om and questioned about the day’s work… . .
shivay as ordered by dadi came with dhushyant , sahil along with the little devil…… . pinky doesn’t like shivay caring for someone’s child and that too she was the one who cheated her and made oh my mataa of her……… . . but jhanvi adorned her in her arms and soon she found her more comfortable started to play with her heavy jewelleries…… . dhushyant felt really uncomfortable by the way pinky behaving but shivay assured him and they both went to meet tej who was busy in his own thoughts… .
shivay and dhushyant entered tej’s study oly to find him lost somewhere but their voices brought back his thoughts and he composed himself… . .
tej : no… . nothing as such was…was… . just thinking about how to sort out this deal issues… .
shivay : you are right… . but he himself came forward and we couldn’t deny it and i jus accepted it oly whn i was convinced and assured that the other small industries invested their shares with us will be benefitted… .
tej : why is that you want to deal oly with small and budding firms… . .
shivay : it’s because they are being underestimated by big industries and so their exposure and their survival in the business market is less that’s y… .
dhushyant : so once when small firms like mine get to collaborate with other firms like mine then the shares and the stock levels of the small corporates or firms ll be increased and this will pave way for other collaborations too… . .
tej : fine great that’s interesting and even i ll think about it and sure ll try to imply it… .
tej : well…… . quiet impressed shivay……and a very all the best to both of you and best wishes… . .
saying so they headed outside oly to find the devil’s mischief all over the living room… . .
dadi who was overwhelmed by seeing them opened her arms and walked towards them… . . and she hugged them tight and pulled them inside… . .
dadi : on time huh…… . . as usual……dint change a bit… . . ( spoke with them while walking and took them to the living room were all others were remained silent an surprised…… .
dadi : arre khothiya what are you staring at ( closing the opened mouth of rudra who was bit shocked by his dadis gesture towards them ) they are my best friends……… leela and vidhya… . ( both smiled at him and blessed him as he bent down and touched their feet )
now all the three ladies sat on the couch and all others too sat and dadi started the introduction section… .
a voice : it is not blah blah blah actually it is called as conference call… . .
all turned to see who it was and there stood four people and came to the living room… .
karan singh shekar ( kss ) leela meri maa . . not with rosy as you think and for ur kind information it was you who fired her
leela : haan haan i know i know just checked whether you are lying or not… . .
vidhya : bhaisab ignore her and kalyani woh meri pati hei raj singh rathore ( rsr ) and he is my son kailash and dil parvathi… . .
leela : yeh meri pathi the great shri shri shri karan singh shekar maharaj ji…… . and my son and dil shifted to canada fifteen years back and oly our grandson came back now to see us and he took over the business in india… . .
parvathi : we lost our children in an accident…… . two daughters and one son…… . .
shivay who witnessed the sign language between them felt something is fishy and decided to ask tej but before that he turned to the guest and introduced him as shivay’s brother in law… .
but suddenly from nowhere a bucket full of black color water was splashed on mr and mrs . kailash… . .
all stood with a jerk and meantime chulbul who brought tea for the guests dropped the plate and made all the galsses to break into peices…… . . he / she was shocked to see the scenario and the people in front of her……
anika ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ( shivay shouted at his top voice ) yes it is anika who poured water on them… . but anika dint respond instead directly went near kailash and held his collar and started to yell at him…
tej who was standing immediately went near anika and pulled her towards him and she like a kid hugged him and cried telling him to get out of her life and nothing is left with her… . .
anika : looked at tej and aksed him to send them away as she doesn’t want to see them and they are really such an 2rs people who wud do anything for their business… . . ask them to leave bade papa ( said crying and folded her hands and pleaded him )
tej ( hugged anika and who couldn’t tolerate it shouted at his top voice ) mr . kailash out now……… . . for god damn sake out now……
shivay who went near tej to take anika with him but she pushed his hands away to his surprise and continued uttering the same and soon she fainted… . .
tej immediately picked her in his arms and took her to his room and shivay was literally shocked first by his wife’s behaviour and now she is unconscious and followed tej along with omru…… . while they informed the doctor to him fast……
chulbul just ran to his room and he was trembling with fear and whose eyes were filled with tears only indicating the pain of her’s… . .

aashi dear i guess u’ll like and njoy this plot…… . . love u dear… .
all the three look at the direction of the voice… . . it was none other that gauri’s voice…… . . anika , gauri , mohit , ranveer all the four were standing at the door step and were listening to the whole convo……… . . pinky meera and shivay were shocked to the core coz they were ultimately confused as to how they wud make them understand and explain them…… .
shivay : anika ( faking his anger ) how many i’ve told u that you shd rest and now u r not in ur at this time… . come let’s go… . . saying so he went near her and holded her hand… . . but she jerked it off…
anika ( in a stern voice ) don’t ever forget that it is always me who shd and will get ur first priority……it’s me whom u pampered , loved , kissed , hugged and made me to call u as maa……so don’t you dare try to share it with ur newly found son… .
shivay ( in his loud voice ) enough anika… . . is this the way to talk to my mother… . . dint forget that i have two… . . remember two mothers so be careful if not you’llhave to suffer…… .
anika : accha…… . . two mothers…… . . really… . . okay then let’s ask them…… . now anika turning to meera… . . waise you tell me will you give ur first priority to your son ? ? ? ? ? meeru………
meera ( with happy tears ) nodded her head in a no…………it’s you always will be my first priority and it’s you whom i first kissed , hugged , loved , pampered , and called me maa……but above all it was u who called me as meeru……so its oly you beta…… .
anika : ha ha shivay……i think u lost one wicket……… . . and now turning to pinky……… . . aunty ji he is ur heera beta na… . and obviously am ur heera bahu and now mother of ur heera grand children so………whose ur priority now ? ? ? ?
pinky ( wiping her tears ) any doubts in that beta……it’s you who ll be my first priority…… . .
shivay ( making an o face ) yea tho cheating yaar……… . anika not fair huh… . . and mom you am ur heera beta and maa aap tho anika side huh ? ? ? ? ?
meera and pinky together shook their heads in a positive way… . . shivay was dumstruck as to how she manipulated both his mothers…… . but he is not left alone…… .
mohit ( winking ) yup……i know… . . oly after that i came forward with the business deal……and all that breakfast etc…… . .
gauri : jiju… . . em in ur team… . . you know this bua maa na always anu anu anu anu…… . and this mohit always moti moti moti……and this ranveer always in anger mode…… . . so pl just make me ur partner…… ( puppy face )
shivay : arre gauri u are my team yaar… . . and no worries ll make them suffer i’ll take care……
anika ( coming near both of them and holding their ears ) accha yea tho baath hei………now this useless shivay singh and naughty chutki in one team huh ? ? ? ? let’s see what you both ll do… . .
both of them were shouting in pain and finally they both have up and all the five hugged each other… . shivay happily accepted mohit as his brother and ranveer trying to reduce the gap between him and shivay…… . . all of them retarded to their rooms with a full filled heart…… . and waited for the next day as it is a special day for all of them…… .
the whole mansion was decorated beautifully with yellow flowers and the family members were eagerly waiting for the time to arrive…… .
soon all of them gathered including mr and mrs kailash too gathered… . anika and gauri felt uncomfortable but coz of meera they both put on a fake smile……anika , gauri , prinku , saumya all were standing with a pooja plate……… . it was coz they are celebrating rakshabandhan that too after three years in om…… .
after the pooja anika tied rakhi to sahil first… . . followed by dhushyant and ranveer…… . gauri tied rakhi to sahil , dhushyant and ranveer…… . . sumo too did the same but she tied to om and shivay also………now it’s prinkus turn…… . all the obros were waiting for her to tie………and more than shivay it was omru who wanted their baby sister to tie rakhi to them…… . she soon tied rakhi to shivay…… . . and then to omru also coz of anika…… . . now anika and gauri went towards mohit and both of them took his hand and both of them together tied a thread telling that this bond and relation is unbreakable……soon three shared a hug……
tia was all alone standing with tears holding shivika… . . she was in a corner of her heart was cursing her fate of not having a brother to share this beautiful day…… . . and even her daughter is also facing the same fate as her’s were the thoughts she was occupied with………
sahil went near her tapped her shoulder to bring her back to normal… . . and soon she was on track…… .
sahil : tia didi i think universe want you to tie a rakhi to me and to mohit bhaiya and i guess ranveer bhai also need it…… .
tia ( confused ) me ? ? ? ? ? but… . . sahil ? ? ? ? ? ?
sahil : didi…… . that word na , im not just calling you for name sake……… . it is for real……you are also same like anika didi… . but on one condition…
sahil : i may and i have too many sisters but always my anika didi is first……and no compromise when it comes to her……… . deal ? ? ? ?
tia happily nodded her head in agreement and tied rakhi to sahil and mohit also…… . and last but not veer… . . ( even he too put the same condition forward )
anika came near shivika and made her do all the rituals to sahil and made her tie rakhi…… . sahil cutely hugged her and kissed and gave her the gift………
now it was time for all the brothers to gift their sisters with a gift… . . omru gifted prinku with lots of stuff which them safeguarded for three years… . even shivay did the same…… . ranveer bought two big boxes and handed them to his sisters……it contained all the gifts which he bought them in all the past years………the same was done by mohit……
amazing… ! i like the way anika . . turned his mothers . . on her side . . ! nice !
sooo cute arthi ! ada ippo yaarupa new entry ? another cliff hanger part dear… . this is not fair arthi ! waiting for next part .
loved it to bits…… . annika became both the yashoda and devaki first priority… . . poor shivay , i was laughing imagining the whole scene… . the rakhi sequence was very sweet specially sahil and tia scene… . and i think the voice is of ranveer or mohit’s sister… . just guessing… . and di i didn’t liked it…… . . because i loved it…… . and i love you too aru di… . . post as ur convenience… . but i’ll be waiting…… ? ? ? ?
saina ff ~ kuch kuch hota hai ( s - 1 ) … . part 1 ~ meet naina
as i mentioned in the character sketch anika is elder to ranveer and gauri and ranveer elder to gauri but a small correction ie , ranveer is twin brother of gauri and he is few mins elder to her… . .
only the sound of laughter and pulling legs of each other filled around the dining room… . all were happily talking to one another either about business or the young ones of their house……… . . suddenly the phone sound of shivay disturbed everyone and more than that his reaction caught everyone’s attention…… . after talking he went out as fast as he can leaving everyone confused but soon resumed with their chit chat ……… within mins he was in front of oberoi mansion……
what if i go inside now ? ? ? ? yeah i know sterday i came but none knew about it and today everyone are present in there and how can i face them as am in reason for every mishap…… . but i have to go inside now when it comes to my family i shd be strong enough……composed himself and went inside the mansion……
tej : shivay she is not at fault jus let her go and we will search pinky…waise haste makes waste beta .
shivay jus calmed down after listening to his words went outside the mansion and shouted at top of his voice khanna ! ! ! ! ! as always he was in front of him composing himself from the shock of seeing his boss after three longgggg years… . .
shivay : woh actually bade pappa am sorry but am not sure whether we ll be coming back… . . as far as i know i myself is enough to clear the misunderstanding between all so it’s better other’s remain hidden coz i don’t anyone urltoken false hopes… . .
shivay : bade pappa pl try to understand and yeah let me go in search of mom… . saying so he left as fast as he can i order to avoid further argument……
after one hour all the members returned ( dadi , jhanvi , prinkus , om , rudy , chulbul ) to om and were shocked to see the scene in front of them…… .
dadi : is this is a dream ? ? ? ? pinky beta u r standing in front of me and u r fine…… . ( hugged pinky with happiness )
pinky : mummiji my hera beta is back and he spoke to me sterday and told he is fine and jus left us with his helplessness… . .
pinky : am telling truth why don’t u all trust me… he came spoke with me , touched me and hugged me and called me maa…………… . .
as soon as she said so rudy called khanna to get the cctv footage to check and soon they checked and got to knw tat their brother , son , grandson came back to his house to meet his mother and not them… . .
at the same time at an unknown place a guy is talking over the phone he was looking perfect for any girl to fall for him… . .
guy ( over the phone ) : i don’t know what u ppl will do just cancel all the deals we are holding with oberois… do u get that… . . if they call for an reason jus tell them that mohit singh shekar doesn’t like to give explanations…… . and that’s final… ( shouting so he threw his phone in anger jus like shivay ) …
i’m not gonna leave you oberois this is just starting and before u guys try to resolve this you will just get something bigger than this… and am pretty sure about ur destruction both financially and emotionally…… .

hi cuties back with the next plot…and again thank you all for ur comments… . . do support with both positive and negative… . . with no further delay here comes the next plot……
the whole mansion echoed with the person’s statement and turned towards the doorway… . .
oberois were shocked to see person and the remaining members were left confused… . .
acp : yes mr . shivay or let me say mr . shiv ? ? ? ? ?
shivay ( surprised and shocked ) what ? ? ? ? shiv ? ? ? and it’s shivay not shiv… .
acp ( smiling a bit ) yeah yeah mr . shivay……… . . and yeah where i was yes…… u sacrificed ur children……and that too believing in ur so called obsessed superstitions ? ? ? ? ? right mr . rathore ( staring directly into his eyes )
a person enters and he was in his mid 45 - 50’s but still healthy enough to walk on his own and even to run in any marathon… .
acp ( facing shivay ) here is ur proof mr . shivay… . . ( pointing to that old man ) his name is suresh and he is the chief secretary of mr . kailash rathore and he is the witness for what ever happened 15years back……so i think you received ur answer…
suresh : wo . . wo…woh……… . actually i was threatened by kailash sir so i had to leave… . .
raj ( holding his collar ) how dare you u put such accusation on my son ? ? ? i know he has done wrong with them but not fall as low as he can… . .
suresh ( removing himself from his clutches ) haan sir ji… . whatever am telling is truth…… . . he jus believed blindly what a saadhu said and he sacrificed those little kids and left them in orphanage……
parvathi ( made kailash face her ) is this true ? ? ? did u leave them in orphanage and did u lie ? ? ? ? ? you told that u were taking them to a boarding school but u really left them there… . .
kailash now bend his head down indicating that the act he performed was wrong… . .
suresh : he was influenced by that saadhu and he said that he will be very successful oly when he sacrifice his daughters and oly then his son ll become the prince of rathore industries…so fooling all of u by telling that he is taking them to boarding school and left them in orphanage…when i opposed him he threatened me to harm my family so i just left from there and resingned the job… . .
omru who listened to this where utterly shocked coz they were thinking that oly their dad can do any sort of thing for his business but when they saw another one bt there were lots of difference between them as he never sacrificed them but he sacrificed that too daughters… . . they both saw each other and saw shivay who was now staring at them ……
vidhya ( directly went to her son and gave a tight slap ) how dare you ? ? ? ? ? you and ur obsession ? ? ? do u ever thought coz of ur this obsession how much u suffered and how much u lost and how much we lost… . we lost our three precious possession of our lives…… ( she sat on the couch with a thud and started crying )
acp : mr . tej oberoi… . . ( it is my favourite tej ) coz it is my old debt to payback… .
acp ( who lost his control after listening to the name with full rage faces mohit ) it is my payback time and this is none of your business mr . shekar so stay away from it ( shouted at his top voice )
karan and raj who is more confused by now moved towards them and making them apart they enquired both of them as to why he wanted to arrest kailsh and how he knew and what is the relation between all this… . .
mohit : because he is none other than the prince if rathore industries…… . mr . ranveer rathore… .
acp ( shouting at his top voice now being irritated with the introduction ) haan mei hu woh…… . ranveer rathore…… but not now and that ranveer is dead… . now all i want is to destroy this kailash rathore for destroying the lives of my sisters…… . when i come to knw the truth somehow frm suresh kaka i decided to leave this kaandhan and then live the same life my sisters living so i left from there and i myself went to an orphanage and studied there and became an police officer jus to do find the whereabouts my sisters and i was desperate to destroy the great kailash rathore for ruining my sisters life……
shivomru were astonished hearing this form him… . coz never in their dreams they thought that someone ll leave all the luxurious life behind and live like an orphan voluntarily jus for the sake of his sisters and to take revenge on his own dad…… . they together saw prinku who by now was broken completely as she oly got what she wanted before she tells but not the love or the bond which they three brothers share and by now she was staring at her brothers who bend down their heads in shame……
to know who is that and so on keep reading…see you soon with next plot until then…… . .
yahoo… . my guess was right i had a gut feeling that it’s ranveer… . and finally the much awaited revelation started… . . and ranveer’s sacrifice for his sisters… . . hats off di only you could write such a touching story… . and about prinku i always thought that she was left out in the obros moments…but here you gave her justice……and about the person who hugged mohit is chulbul… . just guessing… . . post as soon as possible… . . love you and your work… . . ? ? ? ? ? ?

sita : beta what is all this ? ? and y everyone are here and y decorations suddenly… . ( questioned anika with confusion and along with sita remaining three joined )
saumya : didi u r alright na ? ? ? coz am not ready to marry again so pl stop this drama . .
everyone was hell shocked and shivay was very much hurt and his face displayed mixed emotions and was stood rooted to hi place… .
sita ( who lost all control went and slapped anika ) are you in ur senses you know the meaning of what u r telling ? ? marriage and marrying someone else leaving the one who loves you the most… . . am feeling disgusted anika and y the hell u asked time from shivay to hurt him to break his heart ? ? ?
anika ( smiling looking at her mother ) maa…i accept that i asked time and that doesn’t mean that it is a yes to shivay…… . i love someone else maa… . . i wish to marry him…
shivay who listened to all this felt something is torn inside and someone stabbed him deep inside his heart and what not he felt like a lifeless body being rejected by the person whom he valued most love most trusted most other than his brothers… . .
anika : yea maa i love someone… . who made me realize that am worth of loving and am worth living and moreover who accept me the way i am without surname , and without any objection of myself becoming his child’s mother… . i just love him and wanna live the rest of the life with him holding his hands… . .
anika : ( took a long breathe ) his is a simple business man staying in lucknow and i met him one and a half years back to be exact the next day shivay proposed me and i liked him his way of perspective about ppl , life , money made me fall for him and i was in my own taadi of analyzing him whether he is correct partner for me and took me one and a half years to overcome my fear and to accept him and today i decided to propose him for that this decoration and after he says yes then marriage… . .
anika : so mr . shivay sorry let me say mr . shiv i know i hurt u today and made u wait for more than one year and today u are very much hurt and am really sorry for that . . what shd i do then i jus loved him and he washed all my fears reg his perspective and he passed all the tests which i kept and moreover he stole my heart and he won in all those tests and my trust , my love , my care and above all he took over me… . . so i shd propose him right and i wanna spend each and every sec , min , hour , day , week , month and whole life with him… . . so what say shivay ? ? ? shall i ? ? ?
shivay ( was now fully shattered and his face with mixed emotions which clearly displays his failure to win back his anika composed himself and spoke finally ) ye . . yea…yeah…… . u shd propose him and i know u take decisions clearly and not in haste so go for it all the best ( finally wished his lady love for her new life with a smile )
anika : ( now kneeling down in front of his love holding a ring finally spoke ) so will you accept me mr . tadibaaz kanji ankhowala bagad billa and pl do say fast my legs are aching…… .
all were shocked and sita and saumya hugged each other in happiness and sahil started dancing in happiness and shivay of course was now speechless and shocked by his lady loves confession . .
anika : ( holding shivay’s hand and started to pull it to bring back to the real world ) shivay pl i can’t be like this for long i will count till three if u not saying anything then u have to forget me forever… . . saying so she started to count one…… . two…… . thr before completing she was pulled towards the safest place ever…… . . ( yup shivay pulled his lady towards his chest with a thud… . . )
shivay : ( hugging anika as tight as he can which express his fear of losing her and spoke hugging her ) don’t you dare to say that again i will not leave you that easily and can’t imagine a world or life without you… .
all the three together ahem…ahem…… soon both broke their hug and saw both of them with tears… .
saumya : didi sorry sorry bhabi……waise y u gave so much suspense and what all u said that u love someone and fell for him and what not ? ? why u gave us a big shock and to bade bhaiya y u gave him such a shock…… . . ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
shivay : ( wiping his happy tears and back to his own taadibaaz mode ) what am i unromantic ? ? ? ? wanna prove that panika… . .
shivay : ( holding her one hand and pulling her toward him and holing her waist by another hand ) yes i do accept and will you do the honor by making me wear this ring… . and showed his hands…
shivay was sitting in the mandap restless and this was noticed by saumya and sahil and they left no chance teasing him and this irritated shivay to the core and soon the bride was asked to come down and shivay eagerly looking the way and there he saw the most beautiful and breath taking scene in his whole life… . his lady love was beautifully drapped in red color lehenga with minimal make up and smiple yet elegant jewelry and with her most precious charm bracelet adding her charm more…… . he opened his mouth and this was opened my sahil and soon he went near his jiju and closed his mouth saying mosquito will go in and come out of you ears… . this made shivay realize what he was doing and soon closed his mouth and glared sahil and soon she was sitting next to him and the wedding rituals started both took vows holding each others hand and their heart promising each other and he filled her hairline with sindoor and made her wear mangalsutra and he finally made her his own……… .

i have been trying to find a cd of the soundtrack for “yesterday” without success . any suggestions ?
such mixture of resilience and simplicity is brought to life by yesterday ' s greatest asset : leleti khumalo , a sensitive , intuitive actress who had previously worked for roodt in both sarafina ! ( 1992 ) and cry the beloved country ( 1995 ) . khumalo effortlessly carries yesterday on her shoulders while delivering one of the best performances of 2004 – or of any other year .
the film opened last week ( 14 june 2004 ) at the suncoast casino cinema marking the official opening of the 25th edition of the durban film festival . it goes on general release on 30 july and then heads for the international circuit . if you ' re proudly south african . . . : watch it with a critical eye .
after falling ill , yesterday learns that she is hiv positive . with her husband in denial and young daughter to tend to , yesterday ' s one goal is to live long enough to see her child go to school .
aids movie ' yesterday ' : zulu - language drama with leleti khumalo , lihle mvelase , and kenneth kambule .
as for yesterday , far from being a mere victim , she is a woman who draws strength from despair . as a result of yesterday ' s refusal to feel sorry for herself , her suffering becomes all the more heartbreaking .
every film that has ever been nominated for an academy award in any category . enjoy !
is the first fully fledged isizulu feature film with english subtitles . it was shot in the bergville area of kwazulu - natal . a moving story of an illiterate young mother named yesterday ( played by leleti khumalo of
“‘yesterday’ is a moving and emotional journey as yesterday deals with her diagnosis , her daughter’s future and her husband’s illness . after her diagnosis is revealed , yesterday receives little support from the tight - knit village where she lives , once she was part of the community but now she is ostracised , her only friend being a teacher she befriended on the road to the neighbouring village .
, who yesterday consulted after two attempts to see a doctor at the local clinic had failed , was also suspect . during the consultation she instructed yesterday :
get rid of your anger , then i will heal you .
i ' ve consulted many
“to some extent , this gives the film space and scope , a certain openness : in some ways , yesterday’s suffering seems specific , in some ways emblematic . there’s something restrained about the film , a feeling that it , too , like its central character , is holding something back . yet it is this restraint and openness that invites us to reflect beyond the point where roodt chooses to end the film – to other yesterdays , their daughters , and their futures . ”
a woman ' s journey . in a zulu village , yesterday is a cheerful mother with an inquisitive five - year - old child , beauty . yesterday has a persistent cough , and after several attempts to see the doctor at a regional clinic , she gets a diagnosis . she goes immediately to jo ' burg , where her husband is a miner . then she must deal with consequences . her singular motivation is to see that beauty enrolls in school the next fall . the film begins and ends with yesterday walking on a road .
i ' m sorry , but we don ' t have filmmakers ' contact information at the alternative film guide .
shot overs 3 years , with a small crew of 5 people ,
hier , aujourd ' hui , hier
(
yesterday , today , yesterday
) is the first feature film from xavier beauchesne - rondeau and is a completely independent effort that explores , with sincerity , the ups and downs of love stories . the ones that leave scars . the ones that force you to rethink your life .
is a powerful film that confronts the social stigma surrounding hiv / aids . it is the story of one woman ' s perseverance to survive against all odds and audiences will be deeply touched by it . ? i was deeply touched , not by the lonely struggle of yesterday , but by the opportunity missed to produce a great south african film devoid of all neo - colonial stereotypes .
“yesterday is the central character in darrell james roodt’s quietly moving film – a young zulu woman , living in a small village with her daughter , while her husband works away from home in johannesburg . her father named her , she explains halfway through the movie , because he believed that yesterday was better than today . and there’s something oddly ambiguous , both melancholy and optimistic about his reasoning , in keeping with the nature of the work .
“all of these people grew up to become major players in the emerging south african film industry — which , 10 years after the fall of apartheid and the election of nelson mandela as president , is being showcased at this year’s [ 2004 ] toronto international film festival . it’s a measure of the maturing south african film scene that there were enough new titles of festival stature to justify the recognition . a few years ago there would have been only one or two , such as ‘sarafina ! ’ ( 1992 ) and ‘cry , the beloved country’ ( 1995 ) , both made by the pioneers singh and roodt , both starring leleti khumalo .
“the film opens with the image of a dusty , stark landscape , over which the camera moves with inexorable slowness : only gradually do we become aware of two small , isolated figures , making their way through it : yesterday ( leleti khumalo ) and her young daughter , beauty ( lihle mvelase ) . they have been walking for hours : they’re going to a distant clinic to see if they can find out what has been making yesterday feel sick .
best foreign language film south africa . winner : the sea inside / mar adentro . dir . : alejandro amenábar . spain .
“never sinking into sentimentality or becoming a tool to preach regarding hiv issues , ‘yesterday’ is simplistic but also brutally honest . yesterday’s love and devotion for her child is paramount as is her loyalty to her husband and it is these virtues that are central to the movie , combined with the visually dramatic and often harsh landscape . it is hard not to feel touched by yesterday’s story as she strives to deal with her life and it is a reality check that human emotions know no boundaries . ”
the academy award for best foreign language film is handed out annually by the u . s . - based academy of motion picture arts…
leads a bunch of village women confronting yesterday about her aids - diseased husband . again , singh , it doesn ' t happen like that in south african - african communities .
additionally , roodt ' s delicate , compassionate touch helps to humanize the film ' s characters , among them the doctor who first diagnoses yesterday ' s illness or a kind - hearted teacher at the zulu village . ( they are movingly played by camilla walker and harriet lehabe , respectively ) . even yesterday ' s husband , though initially seen as the villain of the piece , is transformed into a pitiful figure , a man unable to come to terms with his deteriorating health and physical weakness .
of course , the script that’s floating around on the internet may be fake , and all the plot summaries and details in various books may be inaccurate . plus the script was probably still being reworked when the film was shelved , and it’s never fair to judge a film from a script draft , because it’s just a work in progress . we can’t know how this film would actually have turned out , full stop .
the film , which has taken in a billion dollars at the box office , took the oscars for film editing , art direction , visual effects , makeup , sound mixing and costume design . the movie also won for best adapted screenplay , best original score and best original song .
instead of confronting the social stigmas of hiv / aids , the film perpetuates them . upon hearing about yesterday ' s plight , the village women violently threaten to get rid of her and her family . the viewer doesn ' t get a sense of enlightenment from any member of this community . even a teacher ? yesterday ' s new friend seems to only make a feeble attempt to liberate a community so ignorant about hiv / aids . i thought her introduction in the plot would serve a stronger purpose .
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…

ring of fire keeps a sense of menace to the end , the atmosphere is tense . there is no safe haven , and beirut of yesterday becomes a chilling image of our world at war today .
update : i ' ve recorded a commentary track for the film . it covers most of what ' s explained below , but has some new stuff too !
“yesterday is handsomely composed and contemplative in tone , with something of the simplicity and immediacy of a parable . it confines itself carefully to its central character’s immediate situation : to her isolation , the repeated journeys she undertakes , the grimly straightforward realities of her circumstances . it shows times when yesterday is treated with harshness or apparent indifference , but it’s a film that doesn’t look for villains or blame , although it quietly imparts information , suggesting , for example , in ways that would get through to a local audience , the factors that have contributed to the spread of aids .
the film lacks good elements of storytelling , i . e . the backstory , the meaning , the context of what went before , that would inform this situation . as a character , yesterday seems to have no history to inform her current pathetic situation . at no point in the film does she talk about her parents , friends or relatives , even when she discovers her hiv status . at worst , the film provides a shopping list of contemporary social issues—domestic violence , absent husbands , unfaithfulness in the context of hiv / aids , rural underdevelopment—confronting africans in our country today . none of these are fully developed . at best , it is just a caricature of south africa at 10 .
i made the mistake of watching the film pissed at 2am . i ' ll have to watch it again when i ' m in a better state of mind .
when
hotel rwanda
premiered at toronto 2004 , some reviews criticized the film for focusing on paul and the colonel , and making little effort to
depict
the genocide as a whole . but director terry george and writer keir pearson have made exactly the correct decision . a film cannot be about a million murders , but it can be about how a few people respond . paul , as it happens , is a real person , and col . oliver is based on one , and
hotel rwanda
is about what they really did . the story took shape after pearson visited rwanda and heard of a group of people who were saved from massacre .
even if you ' re firing on all cylinders , there ' s a point about 3 / 4 of the way through the film where everybody - everybody - loses it on the first watch . this is not your fault ; this part of the film is very confusing and not explained very clearly . i will explain it later .
yesterday ' s husband , is a migrant mineworker , who refuses to accept his status or take responsibility for the plight of his wife . consequently , yesterday is left to fend for herself and her young daughter , beauty . in a bizarre twist , the husband arrives home , already showing signs of advanced aids - related illnesses . only then does he seek his wife ' s forgiveness . perhaps a little detail missing : mine houses were amongst the first companies to roll out anti - retroviral drugs for their staff . at no stage , does yesterday ' s husband seek such help . the subtext is that big business in south africa sends miners with aids home to die . and this is what will be sold to international audiences . furthermore , yesterday , is never counseled during her hiv testing . at no point was she informed about anti - retrovirals .
yesterday ( leleti khumalo ) , an illiterate woman living in a remote zulu village , ekes out a living tilling the soil . so named because her father believed that things had been better in the past , yesterday ' s day - to - day existence consists of a series of back - breaking chores , including walking to the nearest hospital , located several kilometers away , to find out why she has been feeling so tired lately .

correction : march 2 , 2004 , tuesday an article yesterday about the academy awards referred incorrectly in some copies to the nationality of peter jackson , who was named best director for ' ' the lord of the rings : the return of the king . ' ' he is from new zealand , not australia . the article also misstated the number of times a nomination has gone to sean penn , who won the oscar this year as best actor . it is four , not three . the article also misidentified the man who was kissed by renée zellweger after she won the oscar for best supporting actress , in ' ' cold mountain . ' ' he was john carrabino , her manager , not bob weinstein , co - chairman of miramax , which made the film . correction : march 10 , 2004 , wednesday an article in the arts on march 1 about the academy awards ceremony referred incorrectly in some copies to the species of the fish that is looking for its son in ' ' finding nemo , ' ' which was named best animated feature . it is a clownfish , not a blowfish .

the film depicts the effects of aids in the life of a young zulu woman who contracts hiv from her husband . although roodt ' s narrative maintains its focus on the plight of one particular individual , the ( for non - zulus ) quirkily named yesterday represents millions of other women , men , and children who are now suffering or who have perished from the effects of hiv in that part of the world .

ought to be the story of the devastation wrought by the hiv virus on families amid disintegrating communities ; a gripping film that must offer a glimpse of that twilight zone between courage and fear .
we’re just one month away from seeing batman v . superman , the long - awaited smackdown between the dark knight and the man of steel . but if things had turned out differently , we could have seen batman fight superman back in 2004 . here’s everything we know about batman vs . superman : asylum , and how it would have been different than batman v . superman : dawn of justice .
so petersen was all set to film batman vs . superman in 2003 , for a 2004 release . there was already tons of casting speculation flying around , with christian bale being rumored for batman and jude law for superman . ( matt damon was also in the running for either role . ) petersen gave various interviews , where he talked about how the clash between batman and superman was perfect for the post - september 11 world : “superman represents sort of everything clear and bright and noble . he represents our hopes and ideals . batman , on the other hand , represents the dark and obsessive and vengeful side . ”
please could somebody make a movie out of this book , i mean it ' s brilliant and i think marguerite poland is still alive so she would be able to assist in making the film a success .
in this zulu language film from south africa , writer - director darrell james roodt takes us straight to the tragic heart of the aids epidemic . living in rooijoek , a remote village of zululand , a devoted wife and mother named yesterday khumalo ( leleti khumalo ) wants nothing more than the happiness of her seven - year - old daughter beauty ( lihle mvelase ) , while her husband john ( kenneth khambula ) supports them from afar by working in the mines of johannesburg .
even if marred by a slow - moving second half and by sporadic incursions into melodrama , yesterday has much to recommend it . for starters , director - screenwriter darrell roodt and cinematographer michael brierley make sure we are transported from our movie seats to zululand , as brierley ' s lenses beautifully capture the region ' s magnificent vistas . surrounded by enormous expanses of dry grassland and hillsides , the area around yesterday ' s small village is reminiscent in scope to the american west ' s panoramic views as portrayed in the films of john ford .
' ' two soldiers , ' ' a 40 - minute film based on the william faulkner short story about two brothers divided by war , by aaron schneider and andrew sacks , won the oscar for best live - action short film . and ' ' harvie krumpet , ' ' a claymation movie by the australian director adam elliot , won for best animated short . it is about a polish - born man cursed by bad luck .
so the idea of batman going up against superman , on the big screen , has been around for nearly 15 years . but the biggest challenge in this concept has always been finding a reason for batman and superman to fight that actually makes some sense . how you answer that question depends on how you see both of those heroes : the 2004 movie answers it by turning batman into a vengeful killer , who can only keep from murdering people by hanging up his cowl , and superman into batman’s conscience . by contrast , the new film plays on the fact that superman actually did murder general zod , and he inadvertently trashed a huge chunk of his own city .
not really sure what this is . i ' ll try to read this when i am not so tired and write some feedback . i really loved the primer universe book . is any of this based on the book or just personal speculation ? the whole hidden clue thing makes me wonder if any other films are similar to this effort by the film maker . too bad he only made one film . leaps and bounds better than the prestige .
whether as a focal plot element or an ancillary one , hiv / aids has been a relatively rare topic when it comes to academy award - nominated narrative films . besides darrell roodt ' s yesterday , the most notable examples – shortlisted in any of the oscars ' categories – are :
this all succeeds as riveting drama .
hotel rwanda
is not about hotel management , but about heroism and survival . rusesabagina rises to the challenge . the film works not because the screen is filled with meaningless special effects , formless action and vast digital armies , but because cheadle , nolte and the filmmakers are interested in how two men choose to function in an impossible situation . because we sympathize with these men , we are moved by the film .
and the other huge difference is that batman v . superman is clearly aimed at jumpstarting a whole dc comics movie universe , with lots of potential to follow ben affleck’s batman and his supporting cast alongside wonder woman and the rest of the justice league . by contrast , it’s hard to imagine just how batman vs . superman , back in 2004 , could have led to much of anything , since it features a washed - up batman , and a somewhat burned - out superman as well .
abe waited six and a half hours ( in the film the figure is repeatedly stated as
six hours
) . at the correct time , he climbed out of the box just after it was activated - at 08 : 45 monday .
when yesterday discovers she has contracted hiv from her husband , john ( kenneth kambule ) , a miner working in johannesburg , she travels to the big city to tell him . at first , john violently refuses to accept the truth , but some time later he shows up at the zulu village , considerably weakened .
it ' s up to yesterday to care for john , for their young daughter , beauty ( lihle mvelase ) , and for herself . her health may be failing , but she makes up her mind not to succumb to the disease until her daughter starts going to school to get the education she herself never had .
backstage ms . zellweger was asked whether female roles were becoming more gritty , with the transformation of ms . theron for ' ' monster . ' ' like ms . theron in that film , ms . zellweger has put on many pounds for some of her roles .
yesterday becomes a modern remake of the stereotypic african woman as a collector of wood , bearer of children and beast of burden . producer anant singh and the gang forlornly fail to capture the lot of an ordinary poor african woman . yes , this might be their lot , but their lot is also much much more . the one - dimensionality of
hi ! i ' m trying to reach darrell roodt in order to invite him to venezuela , ( december 12 to 18 , 2008 ) on behalf of africala the first african film festival in latin america . i would very much appreciate if you could send him this invitation .
“‘yesterday’ tells ‘a simple story , ’ says singh , ‘but it is stronger for its simplicity . ’ it’s simple not because it is simplified ( its emotional complexity runs deep ) but because by containing not a single unnecessary shot , word or character , it achieves a kind of purity and universality , like ‘bicycle thief’ or ‘salaam bombay’ or ‘pixote . ' ”
from the stage , ms . coppola thanked her large family and the filmmakers who inspired her and noted : ' ' every writer needs a muse . mine was bill murray , ' ' who was nominated for best actor for his potrayal of a lonely american actor in the film .
as most people may know shades is one of her best books and i had to read it in grade 12 as a set book . it ' s a pity that a film hasn ' t been made of this book because i ' m 100 % sure that it would win an award .
' ' finding nemo , ' ' the disney film made by pixar about a father fish trying to find his son , won for best animated feature . in january pixar broke off negotiations to renew its alliance with the walt disney company , which has produced blockbusters and critically acclaimed computer - animated movies .
healthcare is a human right . 6 , 000 miles away and a world apart from america ' s insular healthcare debate , we can find solidarity with women in the desert pans of inland south africa . yesterday has fallen victim to illness , in the most gruesome of ways , and is met with total apathy . there ' s no institution or infrastructure or anything to protect her or any of the others she interacts with in need of job security or even basic hygiene and dignity . for the first half of the film , i really felt invested . the cinematography is really fantastic , and i found the tone and editing to be quite excellent . lelti khumalo is fantastic . the direction was subtle and…
take what you ' ve read in the newspaper about hiv , plus one of those sponsor a child infomercials . now sketch out a quick screenplay . ok , done ? well , you ' ve just written yesterday . i hear this was done partly as an educational film , and it shows ; this is one of those films that means well , but ultimately gets the nod for being
important
rather than preferable markers like being
good
. the weird exception is a ten minute sequence just before the 1 hour mark , which are so markedly better than anything else that one wonders who was actually behind the camera that day ( perhaps the day the credited director was off filming dracula 3000 ) ?
the new line cinema film was not nominated in any acting categories but won the best - director award for the bespectacled peter jackson , his shirt half - tucked and his necktie at half - mast . he told the audience : ' ' you ' re giving us an overwhelming night . thank you . ' '
there were few other surprises in the evening . sofia coppola , the 32 - year - old daughter of francis ford coppola , the famed ' ' godfather ' ' director , won the oscar for best original screenplay for her delicate film about two lonely souls who meet in tokyo , ' ' lost in translation . ' '
i don ' t know what you mean by
prevailing theory
, but it ' s pretty clear to me that by the end of the film , the shotgun / lauren / granger situation is totally resolved . . . leaving abe and aaron with a different and much bigger set of problems , which cannot be resolved using time travel .
new line cinema , one of hollywood ' s youngest studios , made the ambitious trilogy for a combined cost of more than $ 350 million . founded in 1967 , the studio that once made its name on pulp horror films finally achieved the prestige of its first best picture oscar , a sign of its maturity in the film - making community .
aaron and abe confront one another and explain everything that has happened . this is the most difficult sequence in the film to follow , partly because of the complexity of the plot but mainly because , due to the lack of cgi , it was impossible to put more than one aaron on the screen at the same time . the two major discussion points are :
the best account of the rise and fall of batman vs . superman : asylum comes from david hughes’ indispensible book tales from development hell : the greatest movies never made . and luckily , hughes’ chapter on this film ( along with darren aronofsky’s batman : year one and j . j . abrams’ superman : flyby script ) is actually online , as an excerpt at movieline .
“the clinic is hopelessly understaffed , and it is only after several long trips , and an act of kindness , that she sees a doctor , and discovers that she is hiv - positive . yesterday keeps the diagnosis a secret for as long as she can , although she knows that she must tell her husband , and she knows that the women who gather around the water pump to gossip will eventually find out . her thoughts are focused on one thing : her daughter’s future .
thanks for the explanation of primer - really useful . i felt so stupid watching this film . i couldn ' t follow all of the subtle plot lines at all . just vague ideas as to what was going on . so it ' s nice to have it laid out like this , assuming it ' s all correct of course ! i don ' t want to know if it ' s not though ! reading some of the comments here blows my mind though . this is just a made - up story someone wrote and turned into a film . . . . . for fun . it ' s extremely doubtful that they discovered time travel in the process and that their
theory
holds any water , so i just don ' t understand why people even try to rip it apart , find flaws in it , expand on it . what ' s the point ? just enjoy the movie , doin ' t suck all the fun out of it . and yes i know some people are just discussing what was in the film - maker ' s mind and that ' s completely separate - nowt wrong with that .
yesterday ' s not tomorrow
has become the lowest rated daytime soap opera on television . in a last ditch effort to boost the ratings and keep the network from canceling the show , the producers hire eli fein , whose acting career consists only of the wildly popular spotless detergent commercials . this rating stunt sets off a hilarious chain reaction behind the scenes that makes the soap ' s melodramatic plot line pale in comparison ! can the show survive even long enough to tape eli ' s debut episode ? tune in and find out !
this is great ! but . . . . . the explanation says -
they put granger to bed at abe ' s house ; aaron cannot approach him with ( out ) actually somehow knocking him unconscious .
- however , in the film , both narrator aaron and aaron three suggest that it is abe ' s proximity that causes granger ' s unconsiousness . why would being close to abe cause granger ' s unconsiousness ?
i enjoyed the film , but i could not buy into the fact that either character ' s main concern was to go back in time to manipulate the stock market and basically steal money in that way . these guys created a time machine , they ' re geniuses . both characters develpment indicated that their primary concern would be to continue research related solely to the time machine and its effects . they wouldn ' t be interested in punching someone in the face or stealing money , that part just didn ' t fit , and really didn ' t add anything to the film . and for a couple of geniuses , go figure , they invite an ex - boyfriend to the party for no reason whatsoever , out of the blue . are these guys high school dropouts ? yeah , sounds like it to me . carruth could have easily found a more realistic scenario for the emergency travel back circumstances .
in a village where there ' s no electricity , water , or any types of public services , a young woman called yesterday lives her life next to her seven - year - old daughter called beauty , and prays everyday for a great future for her beloved daughter . her husband has left the village and works underground in the mines in johannesburg . with almost no money , but armed with hope and stoicism , the woman has only one dream : to see her daughter in school , something she was never given a chance . it is hard not no get touched or even appalled by this movie . but what is more important is what we learn by the end of the movie : that hope , determination and love have a much better effect on people ' s lives than rage , ignorance and denial . yesterday is a young woman who accepts her faith but refuses to allow it to control her life . perhaps the best way to describe this remarkable movie is through the following four words :
live at all costs !
even if that means defying the odds and standing up to everyone else . for more african movie reviews go to : urltoken
this is a problem , and a critical turning point in the film . there are two aarons at this point ( one at the hotel ) , and , due to aaron ' s clumsiness , two of his cell phones ( one at the hotel ) . if the phone in aaron ' s hand is ringing then , so aaron and abe reason , the phone in the hotel cannot be ringing . symmetry is broken and history has changed . history can be changed .
to date , nowhere has the aids pandemic been felt more strongly than in sub - saharan africa , home to approximately 16 percent of the world ' s population and 70 percent of the planet ' s estimated 35 million aids cases . in the past thirty years , more than 20 million sub - saharan africans have died from complications of the disease . [ 1 ] even today , drug cocktails that are relatively accessible in other parts of the globe are still beyond the means of the vast majority of africans . writer - director darrell roodt ' s south african drama yesterday is set in this catastrophic scenario .
you go into a shyamalan film waiting for the other shoe to drop . if the plot seems straightforward and easy to understand , hold onto your hat because two - thirds of the way through the thing , something you never saw coming is going to emerge from the shadows , hitting you over the head with how clever it is . it’s the movie equivalent of click bait : you fall for it hard the first time around , but every subsequent iteration leaves you queasy and irritated .
he deals with a murderous hutu general , for example , not as an enemy or an outlaw , but as a longtime client who knows that the value of a good cigar cannot be measured in cash . paul has trained powerful people in kigali to consider the hotel des milles collines an oasis of sophistication and decorum , and now he pretends that is still the case . it isn ' t , but it works as a strategy because it cues a different kind of behavior ; a man who has yesterday directed a mass murder might today want to show that he knows how to behave appropriately in the hotel lobby .
if i may jump ahead in the film slightly , the basketball scene ( which takes place sometime in the middle of monday ) is also important . this scene further establishes that it was aaron who originally invited will , rachel ' s ex - boyfriend ' s cousin , to the party - and that it was aaron who suggested that will should bring rachel ' s ex - boyfriend with him . in other words , whatever originally happened at the party was indirectly aaron ' s fault .
at this point , the narrator , hooded aaron , reminds us that he , of course , does not come from a timeline where everything worked out perfectly . in fact , he was never originally at the party . he has no idea how long it will take for aaron three to
reverse - engineer a perfect moment
. from what we see in the film , though , for abe two and aaron three , it appears to work first time . the jealous ex is arrested and jailed . the end .
so which box did abe use to come back in time ? logically , abe must have used failsafe box c , since failsafe box a contained hooded aaron and failsafe box b contained aaron three . how did that happen ? aaron must have swapped failsafe box a and failsafe box c . the box that abe believed was failsafe box a ( anchored 05 : 00 monday ) was actually failsafe box c ( anchored 05 : 30 monday ) . this is not seen or even alluded to in the film , but it is necessary to resolve this plot hole .
the first commercial zulu feature from south africa was a mixed bag . the story follows yesterday and her husband , and their little daughter beauty and tackles the issue of aids and lack of awareness in the rural zulu villages . lets see the positives first , the cinematography is terrific , of course aided by the landscapes around the village . the extensive grasslands and sprawling mountains make for an amazing setting . and the people are well shot too , no grudges there . the ideas are also good , the story being that of a typical village type and not overly melodramatic , maintaining a simplistic lookout . the relationships between characters are well explored . my complaints are greater though , i felt the movie lacked sincerity . it is…
@ sam . well , i say prevailing theory because i felt it was seemingly obvious to most people that by the end of the film it becomes clear that the entire string of events are related in a non - linear causal format . the very new yet still somehow mysteriously broken refrigerator in aaron ' s kitchen at the beginning of the film , ( likely the result of a previous temporal generation of either abe or aaron using the copper tubing ) , abe ' s initial introduction of the machine ' s function to a very impatient aaron from an unknown and apparently relatively distant future , ( he is impatient because this is his umpteenth time experiencing it ) , the
leaks
in the boxes , ( likely the result of a future abe tinkering with the boxes ) , granger ' s inexplicable appearance , ( likely the result of a desperate future abe sending him back to alert his past self to the degree in which things have spiraled out of control ) , and finally the appearance of rachel ' s boyfriend at the party , who as we all now know was and always had been invited by an aaron from the future . nothing is resolved , everything has simply been reset to its starting position . feedback loop .
everyone seems to keep saying that aaron was bleeding out of his ear from extended exposure to the boxes . evidence suggests that this is not the cause . the evidence , aside from no one else bleeding from any other place , is that it is the ear he always has his earpiece in . given the use of the earpiece as the main indication of which aaron we are seeing throughout the film , there must be more to it than it simply being an effect of exposure to the machine . i find it more likely that it could simply be from his overuse of the earpiece . it would be a pointless coincidence otherwise . am i right ?
haha , that is awesome . do you have a url for that interview ? the remark about crushed ice at the start of the film is more about establishing scenery . we see some of the actually rather dull details of aaron ' s family life , his daughter (
she needs a bath
) . later on we see the cereal he eats for breakfast ( always ) , and supermarket shopping , and filling up at the gas station . the whole movie is set against this incredibly low - key , pedestrian suburban backdrop . the most interesting thing in aaron ' s life is a crushed ice machine ! you can see why the time machines would drop a bombshell on that .
@ sam that ' s quite alright sam , we don ' t have to agree . that ' s what makes the film so great , it ' s open to endless interpretation . however , the refrigerator issue is difficult to ignore . you don ' t find it at all odd that aaron ' s brand new refrigerator , ( we know it ' s new because it has a bow on it ) , is malfunctioning , malfunctioning by creating dirty ice , that aaron and abe later remove the copper tubing from abe ' s ( not aaron ' s broken ) refrigerator later in the movie , and dirty ice is sometimes caused by faulty or missing copper tubing that connects the water supply line to refrigerators ? i understand that it initially seems far - fetched , seeing as the opening scene takes place 3 months before the
first
machine is built . but what we are ignoring is that at the very end of the film , aaron is building a much larger box , one the size of an entire room . so we now have a giant box being created in march , ( perhaps even one that an individual could conceivably exit from long before the internal structure has been fully built so long as all of its doors have been closed the entire time leading up to someone going in and using it to build the internal structure ) , a broken refrigerator and an unknown number of aarons and abes roaming the earth . none of this is temporally connected ?
other sorts of paradoxes are not really consequential , in light of whoever has temporal supremacy . but it really just begs the question of what exactly occurs when someone emerging in the past subsequently within a timeline in which someone has already emerged from that same machine . such a person has decided to flip back instead and in spite of the original occupant , emerging
this time
in lieu of them . it seems like they should both experience the same timeline , but the person who returns subsequent to the original occupant must be experiencing an alternative one . this is illustrated in the film , when it appears that two oscillatory timelines occur simultaneously , both originating and terminating co - dependently . interactions between these two timelines may cause conflicts which will engender consequences that become
permanent
outside the loop . this way , each time an emergence occurs , alterations will appear and conflicts will ultimately influence the timeline until there are alternate possible outcomes , ad infinitum . ( only recursively conflicting events will cause paradoxes for the occupants . ) however , in one way or another , there will be a point at which none of the possible occupants enter the machine , therefore belaying the subsequent emergence of an occupant and establishment of his
personal
alternative timeline . in this event , the loop will become closed , and any subjects which had become potential occupants might now be only possibilities . does this then mean that logistically , in such a scenario it is the occupant who emerges and prevents anyone from entering the machine at point b has the supremacy and successfully establishes a future timeline ? i would think so . as in the film , this causes an additional copy of the original occupant .
enjoyable article . i don ' t agree on every point , but it did open up a bunch of ideas to me . it never occurred to me to think about the connection of the
noises in the attic .
if not for that , i wouldn ' t buy the idea that it ' s aaron2 or aaron3 in the original bench scene . but that for me is a weakness of the film - i find it hard to buy that aaronprime could be locked in an attic for four days . i have a question on a point i haven ' t heard anyone else mention - when the granger incident takes place , i think it ' s pretty clear there are two people who get out of granger ' s car . they are both out of focus so it ' s hard to see them , but one of them looks like it could easily be another aaron . this other person never seems to get mentioned or referred to by anyone . anyone have any ideas ?
i appreciate the author ' s input on this film . it stimulated a lot of interesting reads . given the
reality
of the movie , what would happen if you put a running time machine inside of a another time machine then turn that machine on ? from what i can tell , you can only travel back in time to the point where the machine was turn on . that ' s like an anchor point . when you turn the machine off , you are in essence opening up a door through time . however , it seems you must sit in the time machine for the length of time the time machine was on . you have to experience that time ( in essence , you gain that time as part of the time travel ) . but i was thinking if there was a way to compound the length of time you traveled through , and decrease the amount of time you spend in the box by sitting inside 2 time machines . i know this is all fiction , but it ' s neat to think about .
the question of granger ' s lost consciousness in the presence of abe ( does abe lose consciousness , too ? ) , interests me . i think i might have an alternative explanation . maybe . at one point in the film abe and aaron are discussing shutting off the box that granger is
in .
they make it clear they don ' t know what would happen , and decide it isn ' t worth the risk . is it possible that granger , distraught after his daughter ' s death turns off a box that abe is
in
before entering it ? this might result in an entanglement between the two . there is much quantum woo about
consciousness
so . . . of course , when abe got into the box it hadn ' t been opened yet or the power would have been off , which means that granger entered the box from his timeline from another timeline . this seems to imply that another one of their working hypotheses is broken . still , it ' s all a hypothesis till the experiment is done . possibly granger , not altogether intentionally , did the experiment .
@ teddy : the watch runs forward because it is still subjectively experiencing time progressing forward . what was odd that they noticed was the amount of time that the watch had subjectively experienced and the actual time that had passed from outside the box . this indicated that the watch was experiencing twice the amount of time because its arrow of time was no longer linear but parabolically shaped . therefore it was making forward and backward trips which resulted in a doubling of the minutes it had experienced subjectively . the only flaw the film has from this standpoint then is that aaron and abe would have had to subjectively experience 12 hours in the box to travel back 6 . @ bobber : no . what you just described is essentially what aaron did to travel back farther than abe . he folded up the failsafe box and took it back with him into his box . he then opened the failsafe that had been running the entire time within the first box and traveled back in it to an earlier point . what would happen in the scenario you presented is that you would wind up deeper in the past , not farther in the future .
