the film has a wafer - thin story but this clean family entertainer will keep you entertained till it lasts . shivaraj urs ( puneeth rajkumar ) a rich nri a happy - go - lucky guy who does not know the value of money . he comes to india out of compulsion and it is love at first sight for him with shruthi ( ramya ) , daughter of his office manager .
but sruthi a practical girl asks him to earn five thousand rupees out of his own hard work . arasu is taken under the wings of aishwarya ( meera jasmine ) a friend of shruthi . she gives him shelter and a job in her place of work . and slowly our hero comes to know the other side of life as he works hard to earn money and soon aishu starts loving him . she also reveals her love to shruthi . what happens in the climax ?
as usual puneeth excels in dance and fights . his dialogue delivery is cool and casual . it is meera jasmine who overshadows everyone in the film . when she is on screen it is a feast . ramya also takes the cake for good acting . komal provides some lighter moments while srinivasamurthy is adequate .
music by debutant joshua sridhar is average as lyrics take a back seat . camera is adequate . on the whole

i believe there is a subtle difference between ‘misogyny’ and ‘anti - feminism’ , at least in the context of film . imo , mannan belongs to the former because none of the female characters in the film exhibit feminist traits .
the film is grossly misogynistic in the sense that it follows the overused ‘taming an arrogant woman’ and ‘showing a woman her place’ templates .
the story is about the conflicts between a man - the caring son of a mother - and a man - hating woman - the only daughter of a millionaire father - ceo . the rest of the plot is woven around her attempts to take revenge on him ( of course , by marrying him ) . but , as always , she ends up losing the battle and gets ‘reformed’ by her husband ( the hero ) . in the end , the head strong woman ceo is merely reduced to a caring ‘lunchbox giving’ housewife !
this movie is a classic rajinikanth movie , his style and just his presence is magnificent .
the movie does portray a strong woman but she’s kinda an ass ( yeah woman can also be assholes , equality yeah ! ) , she’s ultimately tamed by thalaivar , yeah that comes out as anti - feminist , misogynistic even to some ( honestly if you think this is misogynistic you shouldn’t watch old indian movies ) .
summary - krishnan ' s boss shanti is an autocratic , domineering woman and krishnan defies her many times . irked and revengeful , she manipulates his paralysed mother and marries him in a bid to control him .
) being announced as the number one industrialist in india . shantidevi is a rich and arrogant lady and rules her company with an iron hand . enters krishnan (
to see his mother . krishnan and shantidevi meet at the airport and their first meeting ends on a bitter note . krishnan learns that his mother is suffering from paralysis . krishnan quits his job in mumbai and decides to stay in chennai to take care of his ailing mother . his family doctor recommends krishnan to meet a renowned business man for his job . krishnan goes to meet the business man and on the way an elderly man , viswanathan , is beaten up by several men . krishnan helps him and takes him to a hospital and finds out that viswanathan is none other the business man whom he was going to meet . krishnan is asked to go to the factory only to discover that factory belongs to shantidevi who happens to be viswanathan ' s daughter . shantidevi refuses to hire krishnan but later due to her dad ' s compulsion she recruits krishnan .
) who is shantidevi ' s secretary . meena is a very sweet and warm person who instantly falls in love with krishnan . in the mean time krishnan is elected as the union leader and shantidevi is not very happy about him as they have different views and ideas . they have frequent clashes due to this . meena decides to marry krishnan and reveals it to him . krishnan likes meena but advises meena to discuss it with his mother first . shantidevi on the hand decides to marry krishnan , but only to take revenge on him . she somehow convinces krishnan ' s mother to get her married and krishnan obliges his mother . krishnan ' s mother is not aware of shantidevi ' s plan . shantidevi expects krishnan to stay at home post marriage but her plan back fires as krishnan continues as the union leader even after marriage . shantidevi changes a policy in her company which agitates all the workers and they go on an indefinite hunger strike , which is headed by krishnan . viswanathan realizes that his company ' s image is at stake and takes over as the chairman . shantidevi is angered by this move saying that she has lost to krishnan . krishnan ' s mother comes to know about their bitter relationship and dies immediately , out of guilt . shantidevi is being kidnapped by some of her business rivals , when krishnan saves her and ultimately she realizes her mistake . the film ends with meena being appointed as the new chairman and shantidevi as a homemaker leading a happy life with krishnan .

despite the streaming platforms . here’s why rangasthalam’s 100 days is a huge success for tollywood
from a cement godown to a beautiful set . here’s the set of largest crowd - funded telugu film
reliance jio’s giga fibre is finally announced . and there are a lot of surprises for users
what if . . bb - 2 contestants were authors ? here’s how their books would look like . part - 2 .
unfortunately , kfi has been at the receiving end over the last several years . remakes have supplanted great scripts and writers . producers find it easier to remake rather than do the hard work and develop great stories . 60s , 70s and 80s were great because we developed great writers and used novels to produce great movies . there are just way too many to list .
to make matters worse , the kfi market size has shrunk from its peak of about 800 to 1000 theaters to about less than 400 . other language movies have made huge inroads into karnataka . hindi and telugu movies are running rampant in north karnataka . movie like dhoom 3 and krrish 3 were released in 80 and 67 theatres in north karnataka .
hindi and telugu and tamil movies have penetrated even into c centers of karnataka reducing potential for kannada movies . dhoom 3 made rs . 37 lakhs in the first week from one theater in mangalore ( big cinemas . it made rs . 26 . 3 laks in week from satyam mysore and it made 1 . 13 crores from pvr orion in the first week .
the best first week gross for a kannada movie at pvr orion is 24 lakhs for gaja kesari . at satyam mysore , it is about 11 lakhs for anna bond and in mangalore just about rs . 6 lakhs for anna bond . kfi is not even close to big movies from hindi in our own backyard . if we do not widen the audience pool , it will be very tough for kfi . producing quality original movies would be the first step towards achieving it .
dhoom3 ' s first week share was about rs . 60 lakhs in mysore city . final mysore city business was about rs . 1 . 32 crores in just 4 weeks . only jackie , anna bond , hudugaru and raam have a bigger gross in mysore city than dhoom3 . jogi did rs . 1 . 3 crores in 2005 . in 2013 value , it would be over rs . 3 crores .
in 2013 , both chennai express and dhoom 3 grossed over rs . 1 crore just in mysore city .
anyway , kfi should adopt the malayalam industry model to an extent . while their home state market is only 50 % of that of karnataka , malayalam industry has been steadily growing due to their quality products . they rarely remake movies due to abundance of talent in their industry . kfi would have to produce more mass movies compared to them due to the differences in audience tastes between kerala and karnataka .
as don indicated in some other thread , let us get those talents that penned fine scripts like drishyam elsewhere to write good original scripts for our movies . in fact there is historical precedence for that . salim javed were brought in to pen raja nanna raja and premada kanike in the mid 70s during their peak . if this was done during an era when kfi had an abundance of talent in karnataka , it certainly can / should be used now .
ol : . . . . easily the industry which is making maximum number of remakes in indian film industry . . . . 30 remakes in 2013 - 2014
irony is in karnataka most of the people blame kfi for not expanding the market . . . . . at the same time they watch and enjoy the remakes saying they want entertainment . . . .
dhoom 3 total first week gross from just 14 multiplexes in karnataka : rs . 6 . 33 crores
the grosses of cinepolis , rockline , drc , laxmi pride & other smaller multiplexes are not reported . if you include those , dhoom 3 first week gross in karnataka from just multiplexes is about r . 9 crores .
in 2013 , four ( 4 ) hindi movies have crossed rs . 10 crore gross in karnataka . krrish 3 – rs . 10 . 5 crores , yjhd – rs . 13 . 5 crores , chennai exp . rs . 15 crores and dhoom 3 – rs . 23 crores
while telugu and tamil affect the kannada movie grosses on single screens , hindi is a much bigger threat . telugu and tamil don’t even make 10 to 15 % of hindi multiplex grosses in karnataka . so kfi has to truly market to multiplex audiences .
even financially , it makes perfect sense to market kfi for multiplexe audiences , due to the high ticket rates . dhoom 3 sold 35 , 520 tickets at pvr orion in the first week . at a single screen , it would have yielded about rs . 24 lakhs using a unit rate of rs . 70 / ticket . dhoom 3 grossed rs . 1 . 13 crores which is about 4 . 5 times more than what a single screen would have grossed . while rates for kannada movies are lower currently , they certainly could match once the audience pool grows exponentially .
i would like to mention few telugu remakes of kannada movies . kannada movies per se have lesser collections as they have a smaller market compared to the telugu movies . so most of the remake movies have had a better run than their originals .
( 1972 ) . it was directed by legendary kannada film director puttana kanagal . the film was critical acclaimed in kannada , but went on to become one of the well known films of akkineni nageswara rao .
( 1971 ) . it was remake of school master . it gave the legendary actor ntr a fresh lease of life when he was running with series of flops .
( 1962 ) . this comic drama film starring ntr & anr was remake of kannada film mane thumbida hennu .
( 1992 ) is arguably one of the biggest blockbusters in megastar chiranjeevi’s career . it was first south indian movie to cross 10 crore
. ironically , this telugu movie had a very long run at karnataka box office also .
( 1993 ) . this classic family drama was remade multiple times in different languages . it was a remake of kannada movie mallammana pavada ( 1969 ) which was inspired by the novel of the same name . the novel inspired telugu movie with similar story line ardhangi ( 1955 ) . it was remade 8 times across different languages . irrespective of the story origin abbaigaru was the biggest hit among all the remakes .
was a musical hit . it had retained the kannada song
enneno janmala bandham
from the original kannada version -
( 2003 ) . yes . sometimes kannada films also provide unique ideas to balagaru such as pulling the chair and moving the train like spiderman . strangely , the original kannada version was a box office failure .
in late 90s , we can see a reversal of sorts in the trend where most of telugu remakes of kannada super hit movies not doing commercially well where as kannada remakes of telugu movies finding success even after ‘straight telugu movie releases’ in karnataka .

series in telugu . it is difficult to say if it was better than the original , but chiranjeevi made the two movies immensely popular .
the liberal prognosis of teleological triumph appeared vindicated when the soviet union collapsed days before the end of 1991 . if we take the reductionist logic of the cold war between the united states and the soviet union as ‘capitalism vs . communism’ , one ideology established a nonpareil . the hegelian dialectic supposedly reached its apotheosis when the foremost communist state splintered , marking the so - called ‘end of history’ . triumphalist interpretations declared that liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism prevailed to bring to eschatological fulfillment the enlightenment project . however , the cataclysm also interred the dream of a working - class utopia ; the world was lost for the proletariat .
this regional narrative also captivated a national market through multiple adaptations across india’s major film industries . a telugu remake starring tollywood megastar chiranjeevi , gharana mogudu ( ‘rogue husband’ , 1992 ) was a blockbuster and spawned a hit remake in hindi as laadla ( ‘beloved son’ , 1994 ) starring bollywood’s top stars at that juncture , anil kapoor , and sri devi . a comparative reading of all three films reveals laadla to be a more faithful remake , whereas gharana mogudu is heavily inspired by mannan with major changes made to the plot to suit the star persona of chiranjeevi . there are talks of an updated tamil remake this year to coincide with the 25th anniversary , with a number of kollywood stars vying to reprise the roles of the original’s ensemble cast .
yet , two and a half decades later , mannan remains an under - studied text despite lending itself to rich and variegated interpretations from a spectrum of perspectives . a retrospective textual analysis must deal with both a literal reading in light of conventionalized interpretations and a second - order reading of the film’s connotations . gendered interpretations long held to be second - order analysis have now become the de rigueur denotative readings based on popular cultural memory .
intending to rekindle debates about the film , an alternative second - order marxist reading is proposed . the lesser known urtext also provides an informative starting point for reading the film . looking at mannan , through the lenses of contextualization , historicization , and concatenation , a sublated interpretation can be extrapolated . by retrieving the idiom of class struggle as the primary animator of narrative tension , a more complicated image of the semantic field mannan exists in emerges consonant with the polysemic nature of the text .
above all , mannan shows that power is determined not by gender but by power over production and power over human capital . rather than seeing the dialectical process as resolved , given the global context at the time of the film’s release , mannan reasserts the dignity of labor and the importance of working class mobilization to resist unfettered capitalism and dehumanizing competition . rather than suggesting prescience , it is more appropriate to see mannan as a palliative for the beleaguered left holding on to the hope of a society based on cooperation , between genders and classes , instead of competition . to the filmmaker’s credit , mannan marks out a cultural space for itself in ways that the remakes do not .
the narrative of mannan is prima facie a taming of the shrew - esque plot updated for ' 90s - era india showing the power struggle between a beautiful young and successful industrialist and her corporation’s rambunctiously charismatic working - class hero . we are told in the film’s introduction that as managing director shanti devi ( telugu cinema’s ‘lady superstar’ vijayashanti ) has just made her company india’s ‘number one’ . shanti manages her corporation with an iron first : dissent against her solipsistic vision is not tolerated . union elections in shanti devi & company are always walkovers - - no one has dared to compete against her candidate , the company’s sycophantic production manager secretly in cahoots with her main business rival .
that is until krishna ( played by tamil screen legend , ‘superstar’ rajinikanth ) challenges her totalitarian management as the company’s chief mechanic and popularly elected union leader . shanti feels threatened by the influence krishna has over the factory’s blue - collars , which she once monopolized in the labor - intensive manufacturing factory . after successfully manipulating his ailing mother to gain her approval that he does not transgress , shanti marries krishna . through marriage , she intends to either domesticate him or undermine his clout with the proletariat who would see him as the capitalist’s husband and not their comrade .
yet , shanti fails to defang krishna , who outsmarts all of her machinations . things come to a head when krishna exercises his influence as the union leader and calls for a hunger strike , which paralyzes the company . shanti has a nervous breakdown that she vents on krishna . heartbroken at witnessing the dispute between krishna and shanti , krishna’s mother dies . blaming herself for her mother in law’s death , shanti is on the verge of suicide . her main business rival takes the opportunity to try to murder shanti and her family but krishna saves everyone in a spectacular climactic fight scene . finally , an intenerated shanti tearfully admits defeat and begs for her husband’s forgiveness . in the last scene , we see her as a housewife . her secretary takes over as the boss .
south asian feminists lambast mannan as a misogynistic text perpetuating male - chauvinistic gender roles by valorizing a hetero - patriarchal worldview . they castigate the negative stereotyping of shanti as an emasculating castrator , antithetical to the more benign female characters who fulfill traditional gender roles . feminist interpretations about tamil cinema inveigh against the portrayal of shanti in mannan as bumptious because she is a powerful independent - minded woman . such fulminations resort to abridged designations of shanti’s complex character and tend to fixate on shanti’s conversion or her being tamed into a housewife by krishna . a recent article encapsulated this type of feminist critique :
rajinikanth exemplified the ultimate taming of the shrew in mannan , in which he puts his arrogant rich wife vijayashanti in her place - - the kitchen and the bedroom .
needless to say , the narrative reinforces gender polarities . krishna’s infirm mother , parvati amma ( played by yesteryear actress pandari bai ) , and meena ( played by ' 90s starlet khushboo in yet another girl - next - door role ) , krishna’s love interest and shanti’s personal secretary , conform to traditional expectations of femininity . parvati amma is the archetypal “loving mother” of tamil culture who is “the ultimate image of the ‘good woman’ within popular film narratives” . unlike the usual ' 90s rajinikanth - vehicle that opens with a high - octane song - and - dance number , the first song in mannan is a gentle paean to mothers and motherhood , which serves as a leitmotif repeated at various points to emphasize krishna’s devotion to his mother ( source : sundar kaali , “narrating seduction : vicissitudes of the sexed subject in tamil nativity film” in making meaning in indian cinema , 2000 ) .
similarly , the moment romance blossoms between krishna and meena , she pines for the day he will marry and domesticate her . with dramatic irony , it is meena who becomes the boss of the corporation at the end of the narrative . the conservative meena is the figure of the “self - sacrificing tamil woman” who forsakes her romance with krishna for her boss whom she admires . yet she continues to take care of his stroke - afflicted mother - - a surrogate traditional wife . meena is also the surplus heroine who enhances the hero’s masculinity and virility , she gets a foot tapping fantasy duet with krishna ( source : premalatha karupiah , “hegemonic femininity in tamil movies : exploring the voices of youths in chennai , india” in continuum : journal of media & cultural studies , vol . 30 , no . 1 , 2016 ) .
while traditional womanhood is valorized through parvati amma and meena , the hardline feminist tycoon shanti departs from these expectations . when she is interviewed on national television for being the boss of india’s top corporation she proclaims that women are superior to men . she proceeds to inform the female television reporter that men should be domesticated and women left to run the country . she concludes the interview by proposing her vision of conjugality in which she will be ‘number one’ and her husband will be the inferior ‘number two’ . at work , the perfectionist shanti slaps a male factory supervisor for productivity shortfalls and yells at her male production manager multiple times for ineptitude . shanti humiliates a business rival who proposes a marriage union between his scion and her . her first meeting with krishna when they accidentally collide at the airport also leads to locked horns .
while there is some truth to these ruminations , it ' s also fair to levy the charge of decontextualization or cherrypicking on feminist readings that are more popular cultural memory than thorough textual analysis . they criticize the legacy rajinikanth leaves behind for making female characters subordinate to his heroes in his action - masala films . while rajinikanth - vehicles do demonstrate a male - centeredness as phallocentric fantasies , mannan is less straightforward . popular memory has pigeonholed the film into excerpts , ignoring that it also condemns violence against women by showing krishna’s initial deployment of force against shanti as fruitless and promotes female empowerment to ensure that women remain in the most powerful position in the narrative . at the heart of mannan is the conceit that domestic violence , physical and emotional , is a civil war of attrition that inevitably hemorrhages both parties .
when krishna tries to save shanti from an industrial accident at the factory by carrying her away , absolutely livid at the physical contact , she slaps him . in retaliation , after a quick - fire sermon about traditional womanly virtues in tamil culture , krishna slaps shanti back ( the sound engineer for mannan seems to have ensured that every slap or fingersnap in the film , whether from shanti or krishna , reverberates like a gunshot ) . rather than subduing shanti , as is expected of masculine aggression against women in action - masala films , krishna’s retaliation only emboldens her . when the camera catches her expression after the altercation , she is smirking ; far from being cowed , she is invigorated by the clash .
shanti escalates her own aggressive maneuvers against krishna and he responds in kind setting in motion a vicious cycle of conflict . unlike the hackneyed taming of the shrew - esque tales in tamil cinema , the physical and emotional violence in mannan is neither asymmetrical nor decisive . shanti manipulates , traumatizes , and abuses krishna just as much as he does . this is to the extent where she overturns gender conventions in tamil cinema by laying a connubial trap for him . here the rajinikanth - vehicle departs from his established star persona as the angry young man of action , to realize the limits of using violence on his nemesis . instead , for the rest of the film , he uses his smarts to expose the contradictions of shanti’s business empire . only after a bloody and bruising dispute for both sides does she concede , albeit a pyrrhic victory for krishna . in retrospect , vijayashanti may have provided the most formidable adversary to the hero in a rajinikanth - vehicle ever .
the extratextual star economy only reinforces the textual analysis . the casting coup that gave rise to mannan prepares the audience for a gender war that will not be a foregone conclusion . consideration of the star economy in indian cinema is essential to the more balanced reading proposed . before this film , vijayashanti began establishing herself as a heroine in “female - centred action films” where she would routinely beat male villains to a pulp . in her analysis of the genre in indian cinema , film scholar lalitha gopalan suggests that vijayashanti managed to “corner some of the most spectacularly aggressive roles in indian cinema” as the avenging woman . unlike other heroines who play second fiddle to the hero , in her early ' 90s - era heyday , she became known as “the amitabh bachchan of andhra pradesh” emulating the preeminent bollywood legend . as an action heroine , vijayashanti was an indian film legend in her own right ( source : lalitha gopalan , “avenging women in indian cinema” in making meaning in indian cinema , 2000 ) .
moreover , an india today report from 1992 revealed that vijayashanti was the highest earning actress in indian cinema . her remuneration surpassed that of her peers in tollywood and even in bollywood . by the time mannan was released , vijayashanti had also established a major fan base and an immense reputation in the cinemas of south india . between the a - list of indian cinema’s action - masala genre , the report also established rajinikanth and chiranjeevi as higher earners than amitabh bachchan . in the ensemble cast of mannan , vijayashanti’s reputation as ‘lady superstar’ , of course , positions her on par with tamil cinema ' s ‘superstar’ . braggadocio from both krishna and shanti is , therefore , to be expected . the star economy ensures that there can be no easy resolution that would too severely damage the dignity of either character , which would upset their fans . the star persona of both leads makes it difficult for the audience to anticipate the outcome .
at the end of the movie , the heroine becomes the submissive housewife , but the hero is not the boss of the firm . the way the denouement plays out overturns expectations that krishna would take over his wife’s role . instead in meritocratic fashion , meena takes over as managing director with hundreds of men under her charge ( while laadla retains this , gharana mogudu completely abandons this progressive angle altogether ) . in fact , throughout the film , shanti is shown to be a highly successful captain of industry who earns the envy of her male rivals for her business acumen and for succeeding in the world of men . made the year after india ' s economic liberalization , it is optimistic in its postulate that with the market being freed , women will also be released from domesticity to help power the country ' s economic development . here mannan is progressive in suggesting that a woman could be a capable boss , which was still a rare development in south asia at that point in time .
if anything , shanti’s ‘type a personality’ appears to stem as much from her industrialist father’s deep regret at not having a male heir ( as shanti’s nanny remembers ) as it is from her competitiveness ( it is only after she takes over from her father that the business becomes india’s best ) . we are told that her hotheadedness and self - righteousness also causes her to take umbrage at injustices , both personal and social . meena , shanti’s father , and shanti’s nanny , all point out similarities between krishna and shanti throughout the film . with many redeeming qualities , shanti seems designed to be a misunderstood anti - heroine set in not - so - diametric opposition to the tamil hero , whereas uma devi in gharana mogudu or sheetal jaitley in laadla , are caricatured as stock female villains .

we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of a nightingale falling by p . j . curtis .
based on the novel by pj curtis and shot in offaly during a heat wave on a tiny budget , this is certainly a logistical triumph but a nightingale falling sags under the crushing weight of its own sense of importance .
irish independent feature film ‘a nightingale falling’ , the period drama set during the war of independence , will have its irish television premiere this easter sunday at 10pm on utv ireland .
based on a novel by pj curtis , a nightingale falling tells a similar story to that of well - remembered 1971 melodrama the beguiled . don siegel’s american civil war picture saw two frustrated southern sisters tend a wounded yankee in the attractive form of clint eastwood .
a nightingale falling is a movie starring tara breathnach , muireann bird , and gerard mccarthy . set in ireland during the war of independence , two sisters lives are changed forever as they care for a wounded soldier . what transpires is a tragic love story of a household and its inhabitants , caught in the crucible of dark deep secrets .
tv audiences will also get a chance to see ‘the making of a nightingale falling’ in a special documentary which looks at the community involvement in county offaly . it focuses on the ways and means the filmmakers managed to produce the film and the efforts undertaken by everyone involved , including the recording of the score with the ulster orchestra for their very first film score . the film was co - directed / produced by garret daly and martina mcglynn alongside producers gerry burke and pj curtis . ‘a nightingale falling’ is a mixed bag media production in association with northern ireland screen .
mary curtis , head of channel at utv ireland , said : ‘garret daly and his team at mixed bag media have created an impressive production in a nightingale falling and we are delighted to be supporting the film . ireland’s independent production industry is regarded as a leading player on the global stage and it is very important that we continue to support the sector . the film will make its irish television premier on april 5th on utv ireland and , in addition to that , we will be showing a documentary on the making of ‘a nightingale falling’ on the same day . ’
in a story inspired somewhat by the romance in ryan ' s daughter , a nightingale falling is after that grand epic on a limited budget . while they don ' t exactly pull it off it isn ' t for the want of trying . like last year ' s independently produced irish feature a belfast story , a nightingale falling is overcooked in places . graeme stewart ' s grandiose soundtrack is overused and intrusive ( do we really need soaring strings when may is taking the washing off the line ? ) and while the flowery narration can be explained away by may ' s wordy diary entries , they do the job that visuals and dialogue could easily do .
a nightingale falling , the irish historical period drama set during the war of independence , will receive its world premiere at this year’s galway film fleadh . directed by garret daly and martina mcglynn , it tells the story of two sisters who , against the backdrop of war - torn ireland , take in a wounded british soldier . the lead actress , tara breathnach , has been nominated for the bingham ray new talent award .

set against a backdrop of a turbulent , war - torn ireland in the early 1920’s , this is a story centering on a group of people whose lives are caught up in an unfolding drama that leads to tragic ends as passions are fueled and familial relationships tested and , finally , torn apart . it is a story of a household and its inhabitants caught in the crucible of the merciless politics , cruelties and hardships of the period . it is also a story of love ( requited and un - requited ) , of broken hearts , of entrapment , desperation and madness and of secrets revealed and darker secrets kept – even to the grave . ultimately , it is a story of lives overtaken and destroyed by events outside their control , leading to the death of two souls ensnared in a tangled , deadly web not of their own spinning .
i almost wish this was a true story . i live quite near where the story was set which makes it all the more poignant , also my husband was a british soldier . this was a beautifully told tale of war , sadness and love . i look forward to seeing the film .
this book really does set the scene of a turbulent time in irish history . the relationship between the soldier and the two sisters is gradually developed in a way that draws the reader in . this book has been made into a movie of the same name and i will definitely want to see it having read the book . i really enjoyed the story .
i really , really loved his last book and it should have been a big seller - but we all know how difficult it is in the publishing game . nonetheless pj curtis has proven once again just how sensitive , how deep , how lyrical and just how magical his story telling ability is . it ' s all here in a wonderful page turner ! tension , emotion , a rippingly brilliant set up , a story told from four perspectives , an uncanny talent to write in the subtlety of style of the protagonist in all cases and a notable descriptive power in reference to nature throughout the book , makes this an involving , entertaining and poignant tale . i totally urge you all to take a punt on this ! ! you did it again pj !
during ireland ' s war of independence , the lives of two sisters are changed forever when they care for a wounded soldier .
i liked the story and setting in 1920 ireland and the history but i thought the diary format wasn ' t working . also , i thought the plot was given away early on and as a reader , i would have liked a discovery of the unfolding story on my own .
the drawn and spinster - like before her time may is watchful and intense , while younger sister tilly is innocent and dreamy . it’s a dynamic that works well and their affection for each other is clear until may discovers a wounded british officer taking refuge in one of their outhouses .
set in ireland during the war of independence , two sisters ' lives are changed forever as they care for a wounded soldier in their home . what transpires in this historical period drama , is a tragic love story of an anglo - irish household and its inhabitants , caught in the crucible of deep dark secrets . framed against a backdrop of a turbulent war - torn ireland in the early1920 ' s , may collingwood is forced to make critical and difficult decisions when she rescues a british soldier and must now protect herself and sister tilly . they live in fear of the british black and tans , the rising ira , their own entrapment , and ultimately the dark secrets of un - requited love unfolding from within .
there ' s nothing that i can point to as being at fault , but think it would ' ve made a better tv adaptation than a full length feature . the setting and period were convincing , and one did get a sense of menace from the situation . the acting was fine . all in all though it just didn ' t really engage and take off . i never really reached the point of caring very much about the three central characters , and i can ' t say the acting was totally to blame . i feel the script could ' ve been better , a lot more could ' ve been made of the situation , it didn ' t lack drama , but didn ' t really live up to the possibilities , and seemed obvious at times . its not a bad film , but not a great one either , hence the score .
pj curtis creates a vivid picture of the west of ireland in the 1920s . you become engaged and involved with his characters and their story .
the score for the film was written by donegal born composer graeme stewart . stewart likens the score to “an emotional spectator of the film” , and describes it as having ”a lyrical and a pastoral quality , featuring woodwind and solo stringed instruments , while at the same time becoming much more symphonic when it needs to” . the ulster orchestra has recorded the full , feature length score and it joins only a handful of film scores recorded entirely in ireland .
now that the summer blockbuster season is coming to a close , the cinemas are making way for an audience that ' s ignored by and large by the multiplexes . in the space of three weeks there will be a grand seduction , the one hundred foot journey and this independently financed irish drama . film fans of a certain age might be seduced by the downton abby - esque tale of doomed romance but , if anything , it ' s trying too hard .
two sisters find a wounded british soldier during the irish war of independence , and provide him with a safe place to recover . the decision puts them at risk from both the rising ira and the british forces , while feelings of unrequited love threaten to drive the siblings apart . period drama , starring tara breathnach and muireann bird .
the film is based on the novel by clare author pj curtis and was released in cinemas last september where it enjoyed a six week nationwide run at the irish box office .
graeme stewart has written some fine music and the ulster orchestra have agreed to play it , but , apparently overwhelmed by their good - fortune , the film - makers layer on the chords with a virtual trowel . the parking of a bicycle is accompanied by the sort of epic surge other film - makers might reserve for the parting of the red sea .
the irish film takes place in and around a cash - strapped stately pile in the midlands during the war of independence . the assertive may ( tara breathnach ) and her more naïve sister tilly ( muireann bird ) happen upon a wounded british officer and , for slightly muddled reasons , end up offering the black and tan shelter in their home . various jealousies develop .
speaking on behalf of the production co - director garret daly said : ‘it’s really great and we’re immensely proud that the film will be broadcast in such a prime time slot on this new channel . ’
may collingwood ( breathnach ) , is forced to make critical and difficult decisions when she rescues a british soldier and must now protect herself and sister tilly . they live in fear of the british black and tans , the rising ira , their own entrapment , and ultimately the dark secrets of unrequited love unfolding from within . this is a powerful drama of lives overtaken and destroyed by the events and hardships of the period .
the actors struggle hard , but are constantly defeated by dialogue that sounds like neither spoken english nor heightened poetic prose . “tilly tells me that you aspire to depart here , ” breathnach mouths in a characteristically overcooked snippet .
in cinemas september 12th . set in ireland during the war of independence , two sisters ' lives are changed forever as they care for a wounded soldier . what transpires is a tragic love story of a household & its inhabitants , caught in the crucible of dark deep secrets . showing in imc screen , imc tallaght , imc santry , imc dun laoghaire , imc dundalk , imc tullamore , imc athlone , imc galway , empire ennis , gaiety sligo , carrick cineplex , cork omniplex , navan diamond , cinema killarney . starring tara breathnach , muireann bird , gerard mccarthy , brian fortune , elliot moriarty , andy kellegher , rose henderson , michael james ford , mark tankersley , blathnaid ryan , derek o ' sullivan , maura clancy and michael hough . urltoken
great authentic setting to a very poignant story . the depths of love including filial love are explored within an almost historical novel . novel should be read by anyone interested in the vagaries of ireland ' s past which could be set even on todays ireland . .
no , i got 11 % in on my kindle & i just thought ' no ' . i found the writing stilted , lots and lots of repetition ( in the first few pages anyway ) . i didnt like or believe the ' fathers voice in his letter and when i started reading the first journal that feeling was magnified . years ago i would have persisted with a book like this but now i ' ve go by the motto ' life ' s too short ' and im happy to park a book that doesn ' t grab or delight me . simply not for me . s
the film , which is set in 1920 with the anglo - irish war at its height , follows two sisters ( tara breathnach and muireann bird ) who discover a wounded british officer , and must outwit british and ira forces as well as confront their own personal rivalry in an attempt to save his life .
tara breathnach , her performance nominated for best new talent at this year ' s galway film fleadh , gives it socks as the under pressure matriarch and if anything she could have eased back on the throttle . the three leads fail to drum up the requisite chemistry to keep the ménage á trois bubbling with a little sex , however .
directors garret daly and martina mc glynn said [ quote ] we are thrilled to be in the galway film fleadh . as an independent film , it gives us the recognition we needed to vindicate our passion for this film , and to demonstrate what we’ve always believed – that this story needs to be told and seen . we can’t wait till the premiere , because there is something magical about the festival and walking up the steps of the town hall for our first feature and it will be a special moment . that’s how important a festival of this magnitude is to an independent production . already it has brought great attention to the film , so we are very excited . [ / quote ]
another well crafted book by pj curtis . after a tantalizing opening , the story cleverly unfolds through the journals of two of the key characters , their innermost thoughts and emotions grip the reader , sharing their pain and joy . the story is sensitively told leaving one to ponder
what would i have done in such circumstances ?
i look forward to reading more from this author .
director garrat daly said : ‘all any filmmaker wants to do is find an audience and we always believed there was one there for this type of period drama . we now thankfully have a commercially successful film , and the movie will continue to find audiences , as we’ve secured great deals in south korea , germany and hong kong . i’m delighted for the entire cast and crew and communities that helped us make the film . ’
but it looks the part . the house is kept deliberately icy and sparse and lonely , with breathnach and bird clomping their way across creaky floorboards that boom with each step . in stark contrast to these cold interior sets , the exterior scenes are attractively shot in a warm hue ( daly doubling up as cinematographer ) , belying the dull autumn and winter months the story is set - the irish countryside can look beautiful when there ' s an eye behind the camera .
the story begins with the end , but not quite . do not be beguiled by the beginning . you will be intrigued and before you know it , you are lost in 1920 ' s war - torn ireland with may and her sister tilly , two protestant sisters who wish for peace , but are cruelly trapped in the destructive politics of the times . there is struggle , passion , and requited and unrequited love , and when events become uncontrollable , choices have to be made . it is a story of ethics , self - preservation , and the entanglement

it ' s 1920 and the war of independence rages with black and tans roaming the back roads of offaly flushing out ira suspects . in glebe house , a once well - to - do country home that has now fallen on hard times , may ( breathnach ) shoulders the financial burden , hoping that loyal farmhand tom ( fortune ) can sell off another field to pay for their upkeep . the only other occupant , naïve younger sister tilly ( bird ) , is oblivious to her sister ' s mental strain , giving the glad eye first to tom ' s son ( elliot moriarty ) , an ira sympathiser , and then to captain shearing ( mccarthy ) , an english officer may finds unconscious in her shed . hiding the soldier upstairs , may and tilly fall for his dashing looks but are all too aware that the ira would execute him , and possibly them , if they were discovered harbouring the enemy . . .
following its premiere at the galway film fleadh the film went on to win best film at the sky road film festival , best feature at the underground film festival , and recently picked up an award for best drama score of 2014 at the reel music awards .

unfortunately , the film is hard to embrace . stilted , sluggish and occasionally ludicrous , it seems suffocated by its own good intentions .
all this is filmed in such pristine folk - park surroundings that one half - expects to see blue ropes around the period bedstead and guides leading japanese tourists through the eerily deserted streets .
review : the film’s freaky visuals are peak psychedelia . the songs aren’t bad either

tara breathnach and muireann bird play anglo - irish sisters may and tilly collingwood in this handsome - looking but overwrought drama set during the irish war of independence . they struggle to keep their big house going as black and tans and the ira clash in bloody showdowns in the surrounding countryside .
for reasons that are never fully explained other than basic humanity in an era of base savagery , and at great personal risk they take him in and nurse him back to health . inevitably , the frigid may and the girl - like tilly soon develop feelings for the handsome captain and tension rules the formerly serene household .
an intrusive orchestral soundtrack and stilted dialogue of old world sophistry sacrifice subtly and drama for shrillness and perhaps the camera is over busy at times .
husband and wife directing team of garret daly and martina mcglynn have done very well to make their debut feature with little cash and less than perfect conditions but perhaps this is not quite the terrible beauty they may have been aiming for .

is the man who is tall happy ?

is a 2013 french animated documentary film by michel gondry about the linguist , philosopher , and political activist noam chomsky .

is the man who is tall happy ?

is the man who is tall happy ? is michel gondry ' s intellectual spirit quest .
a scene from the documentary “is the man who is tall happy ? , ” with noam chomsky .
there are no featured audience reviews yet . click the link below to see what others say about is the man who is tall happy ? : an animated conversation with noam chomsky !
so you might expect a conversation between the filmmaker and the philosopher — which frames gondry ' s extraordinary new animated documentary
is the man who is tall happy ?
— to be unusual .
the film isn ' t a very long one but it is a saturated one , so much thinking on screen . in addition to gondry ' s drawings and some photo collages , the director occasionally sketches out a camera and projects footage of chomsky , as if we will forget this is a film . i don ' t know whether the tall man is happy , but i do know that
is the man who is tall happy ?
is intellectually and visually groundbreaking , and most certainly a film .
yet that’s exactly the key to its appeal : the centerpiece of “is the man who is tall happy ? ” is as much gondry as chomsky ; the contrast between them wryly juxtaposes measured and chaotic introspection . by extension , its real topic is the elusive nature of all thought processes , and it effectively shares the dual speakers’ collective journey without revealing any tangible destination . the movie ends , but the discussion resonates indefinitely .
if you know and appreciate the director ' s work in feature films ,
is the man who is tall ?
serves to illuminate the filmmaker as much as his subject . the idea of ideas is very much at the core of gondry ' s 2006 film
the science of sleep ,
with gael garcía bernal as a man who loses sight of the line between daydreams and reality , and the seminal 2004
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind ,
which examines the implications of a world where disturbing memories can be erased .
a woman is in love with a man in love with another woman , and all three have designs on a young man raised as an ape .

the charles river comment comes from chomsky’s gazing out the window where the two are speaking ( chomsky teaches at the massachusetts institute of technology ) , but otherwise “is the man who is tall happy ? ” feels unmoored in time and space . the animated visuals pinwheel through gaudy abstractions and cartoonish reductions of the ideas being discussed , and some of these are extremely beautiful . the drawings don’t accompany chomsky’s comments so much as try to stay on pace with them , and gondry’s questions skitter over the surface while rarely following his subject down the rabbit hole of logic .
in his introductory remarks , gondry blatantly compares his completed project to “a thorn in the heart , ” but it’s better described as a quasi - sequel to “eternal sunshine , ” as it returns to the unnerving challenge of battling the limitations of thought at every waking moment . both movies elegantly blend gentle wit with melancholy . while “eternal sunshine” certainly has more polish , “is the man who is tall happy ? ” is like its scrappier , exuberant younger brother . as usual for gondry , the experience can be too precious for its own good , as the fanciful elements of its design lead to the impression of flipping through a scrapbook filled with half - formed ideas .
a man entranced by his dreams and imagination is love - struck with a french woman and feels he can show her his world .
a look at the lives of a group of teenagers who ride the same bus route and how their relationships change and evolve on the last day of school .
there is a bit of the wistful student in that phrase , and in the texture of the film . wistful , insistent , intellectually discontent . gondry ' s like the kid in the class who keeps pressing the professor to explain and expound . chomsky is by turns patient and exasperated — - not so much at the probing , but when he thinks gondry doesn ' t understand .
probably of interest only to those viewers who , like gondry himself apparently , already have an obsession with chomsky .
the conversation turns personal eventually , with gondry extracting a few details from a man who ' s reluctant to speak about his relationship with his late wife or the things that bring him personal happiness . perhaps the difficulty is that chomsky truly doesn ' t believe he deserves this kind of individual spotlight - - that like the ship of theseus , which is repaired so often it eventually contains none of its original parts , the person we see onscreen is no more special than any in the sea of humans engaged in a history ' s long pursuit of knowledge and justice .
the result is a stop - motion animation that , by their color , dynamic and originality , is quite attractive visually . [ full review in spanish ]
michel gondry merges the worlds of art and science by cleverly animating the innerworkings of noam chomsky’s world - renowned mind . pushing beyond chomsky’s acclaimed theories and opinions , he gives insight into the man behind the legacy . done in hand - drawn animation .
most of the film is framed in 4 : 3 . however , some sequences extend beyond this .

we are watching two very fascinating , very different minds interact , and the result is a bit inspiring .
on some topics , the pairing works beautifully . unsurprisingly , this is especially true when chomsky makes points by talking of fairy tales and magic transformations . when a child is told a story about a donkey that is turned into a stone by a spell , how does the child instinctively know that the stone is still in essence the donkey , not some unrelated object ? that ' s a question made for gondry ' s surrealism - friendly brain .
walk this way is taking you for a ride around europe . jump in !
gondry chalks it up in other ways as well . discourse may be driving the narrative , but what we see on screen is a kaleidoscope of images . gondry uses a colorful neon - bright , hand - drawn , pulsating animation style to show us how he is processing the countless words he is hearing . it ' s as if the ideas , rather than gondry , are holding the chalk .
what emerges from the chats and the drawings and the animation is an often - fascinating glimpse at both genius and the creative process ( itself a kind of genius , after all ) . if it sounds boring , it isn ' t . if it sounds weird , it is - but weird in a good way .
near the end , chomsky and gondry get into the specific way in which the structure of language impacts thought — it is what the mit professor has spent a lifetime exploring . it is mesmerizing to see those seven words structured , then restructured , chomsky explaining why we choose to place words where , how meaning shifts accordingly .
filmmakers discuss the tremendous impact of françois truffaut ' s 1966 book hitchcock / truffaut , in which alfred hitchcock painstakingly detailed his directorial process . wes anderson , david fincher , richard linklater , and martin scorsese are among the a - list directors who pay homage to the legendary . . .
one of the pleasures of the movie , though , is that mr . gondry remains acutely tuned into these passages , which he addresses with a startling openness and a lack of directorial ego . this is a movie that celebrates the life of a great mind and makes a case for the mind that knows less but keeps on asking .
the caveat is both unconvincing and unnecessary . if anything , flooding the viewer ' s senses with so much stimulation - - drawings that not only illustrate the topic being discussed , but flash and spiral and decorate this imagery without pause - - presents challenges to digesting dense ideas that aren ' t present in the standard talking - head nonfiction film . ( one wonders what chomsky , who has studied the way brains make sense of the world for so long , would say about this pedagogic strategy . )
imagine that you’re at a dinner party . imagine you start conversing with the man sitting next to you and within minutes realize that he’s far smarter than you’ll ever be — pleasant enough , but talking with him is like falling off the back of a truck and watching it speed into the distance . what do you do ? if you’re michel gondry , you sprint like crazy to keep up while doodling on the tablecloth .
among their topics is the sentence that gives the movie its title and that mr . chomsky has used , by moving one word , to argue that the linguistic information children receive is insufficient to explain how they acquire the grammar of language . “it seems plain , ” mr . chomsky has written , “that language acquisition is based on the child’s discovery of what , from a formal point of view , is a deep and abstract theory — a generative grammar of his language — many of the concepts and principles of which are only remotely related to experience by long and intricate chains of unconscious quasi - inferential steps . ”
a . the director ' s accent is very heavy , while noam mutters more unintelligibly that usual , making it rather hard to understand them .
it is fitting that tension in the film comes from an issue of
understanding ,
gondry sometimes chalking it up to his thick french accent .
throughout , gondry fancifully embroiders on chomsky’s running commentary . intellectual curiosity is personified as a homunculus toting a potted plant with question marks on its leaves , and galileo’s questioning of accepted truths is represented as a stairway of “why’s . ” gondry might present ideas as rebuses , as descartes’ philosophical “tools” are lifted from his treatise , or else embark on his own sentimental flights ; when chomsky first refuses to talk about his late wife , gondry sketches a cartoon man and woman biking across the top of the frame .

documentary filmmaker jean - paul jaud sets out to discover if contemporary society can create a food supply that isn ' t littered with contaminants by exploring the current trend of organic , localized food production in france . the current generation is the very first . . .
chomsky ' s specialty is linguistics and cognitive science . he ' s in the business of examining language for clues about life . with chomsky ' s help , gondry wants to probe the mit professor ' s studies into the way in which words give shape to our world , defining how we humans feel , think and relate in the broadest sense . but gondry is also interested in the specific — chomsky — and how language , ideas and experiences intersect in his very particular life .

it’s not the only time gondry casts himself as the slapstick naif on the receiving end of chomsky’s genius . elsewhere , he discusses his struggles to complete the project while in post - production on “the green hornet” years back ; as he talks , we see him represented by a giant bug wandering about his living room . it’s a candid admission by implication : while gondry was glued to his work on a commercial spectacle , he was cognizant of its fundamental simplicity in contrast to this deeper side project .

but not everything fits snugly into gondry’s fairly apolitical worldview . the director gave whimsy a good name in offerings like “be kind rewind” and “the science of sleep , ” and as if acknowledging his shortcomings , he includes examples of his own fractured - english gaffes , and even audio of him interrupting chomsky’s perfectly sane criticism of the french government . gondry dismisses the subject as too depressing , suggesting chomsky instead return to reminiscing about his wife .

michel gondry directed this animated documentary , which features a number of interviews with renowned linguist noam chomsky . gondry recorded with him over a period of years . the director then used stylized animations in order to help the viewer understand chomsky ' s complicated insights into the creation of language , while also illuminating chomsky ' s ambitious theories .
i would have loved to hear a good film with some narration concerning naom . instead i got a constant annoying projector and misc sounds interrupting what was otherwise a potentially great film . the graphics were amateurish and often pointless . i felt it discounted from his responses more than enhancing them . i didn ' t see the point in the perpetual noise or randomly agitating the viewer with unnecessary sound . i ' m not so schizophrenic i need perpetual noise in order to appreciate an otherwise potentially dry point . not that i even think of naom as dry ! he ' s interesting and all that crud did was detract from his speaking or the ability to focus on it . you ' d think you ' d want to enhance what he is saying but this film does everything but . it just wasn ' t enjoyable . . . . . . . . . .
gondry’s low - tech approach might even be said to expose the artistic limitations of the big - ticket , reality - based cgi that dominates today’s movie screens . equipped with only an old - time oxberry animation stand , a portable lightbox to facilitate frame - by - frame rendering and the same do - it - yourself gear long accessible to students in animation courses , gondry and his frisky hieroglyphs successfully convey chomsky’s concept of language as the fleeting “meanings we impose on fragmentary experience . ”

we learn quite a bit about chomsky’s early years in philadelphia and how studying hebrew with his father set him on a path toward parsing language down to its rudiments . we learn that his atheism doesn’t dissuade him from understanding how religious beliefs weld people into communities . we don’t learn much about chomsky’s relationship with his wife and colleague , carol schatz , whose death in 2008 is still an open wound .
an almost entirely hand - drawn , animated film that was clearly a labor of love for the director and has enough charm to reach a wider audience than his other recent docs .

some of the film ' s best and most revealing moments see gondry trying to get a slightly wary chomsky to leave his comfort zone of cerebral conjecture and open up about his emotional life .
but viewers likely to be in the audience will have come seeking the very thing gondry seems apologetic about - - not an
objective ,
academic treatment of chomsky ' s thinking on language , religion and popular democratic movements , but an engagement with those ideas that employs gondry ' s peculiar sensibility . we get that , and how : ever - curious , self - deprecating about occasions in which his fumbling english keeps him from making questions clear , gondry works with sweet earnestness to understand his subject and convey that understanding to us .
filmmaker thomas balmes offers an adorable glimpse at the first phase of life in this film following four newborn babies through their first year of life . ponijao , bayar , mari , and hattie were born in namibia , mongolia , japan , and california , respectively . . . .
gondry makes some headway in burrowing behind chomsky ' s mild academic facade : by asking him about his early life , what he does for entertainment , and about his recently deceased wife , we get a sudden glimpse of chomsky - the - human - being ( no doubt entirely trivial ones , if you ' re a signed - up chomskyite ) . but little asides – such as hearing him talk about his parents ' interest in cultural zionism , or his regular jail time when his kids were growing up , or just the fact he and his wife liked to be alone with each other – create an unexpectedly rounded portrait .
