Strokes on Silver Screen

I create video essays on stuff related to movies.

[Strokes on Silver Screen @StrokesOnScreen]

In my new video essay, the films under study are SONCHIRIYA and CHILDREN OF MEN.

The focus is on how an 'Unlikely Hero Turned Saviour' archetype is adapted into two different settings - one in a dystopian society in London and the other in Chambal valley.

Ved Mehta lost his eyesight at an early age and moved to the United States in his teenage years. His work at THE NEW YORKER for more than three decades caught the attention of Wes Anderson.

He is credited for introducing 20th century Americans to India through his writings.

Wes Anderson's THE FRENCH DISPATCH that he calls a "love letter to journalists" is dedicated to a bunch of journos who worked for THE NEW YORKER.

One among those names is the Indian origin writer VED MEHTA.

Independence Day is not for celebration. It is an annual, sombre reminder of what independence means, how much we have it and why we can't stop fighting for it

I write to you with a broken heart and a deep hope that you can join me in protecting my beautiful people, especially filmmakers from the Taliban.

#Share it please, don't be #silent.

Retweeting in wake of the announcement of 'The Intern' remake

[Strokes on Silver Screen @StrokesOnScreen]

I need an explanation from folks who complain that iconic films get "ruined" whenever they are remade.
How does that happen?
Do the copies of the original film vanish into thin air once the remake is announced?

[Strokes on Silver Screen @StrokesOnScreen]

Bahman Ghobadi's TURTLES CAN FLY is one of the most heart-breaking movies you'll ever see.
We see the Iraq war unfold through the eyes of refugee children who navigate the crisis to best of their abilities, though some of them are unable to recover from the horrors of war.

Almost a year and the views counter has frozen at 300 something 🥺
Takes a lot of effort to make one. Please give it a watch 🙏🏻

I first spoke to Prateek Vats in June, 2015, when he was spearheading the FTII protests against the appointment of Gajendra Chauhan. 5 years later, he's made one of the most important films to have come out of Narendra Modi’s India. A profile. https://t.co/jNoaGi07kc

ALIEN and ALIENS used mirrors to extend the sets and create more visual depth. You can spy the reflections of Harry Dean Stanton and Yaphet Kotto if you peep closely. Practical solutions for maximum effect.

The gate is open. No one is keeping it. You can find almost any movie you want on the Internet if you decide to look for it. If it’s not legally available, somebody pirated it. If your taste is confined to a tiny circle of things you already know you like, that’s on you.

We’ve lost one of our most iconic and beloved actors. From the Stratford Festival to "The Sound of Music" to "Star Trek," and countless other performances, Christopher Plummer gave life to so many characters we love and cherish - and always performed with gravitas and heart.

[Rian Johnson @rianjohnson]

RIP to Christopher Plummer, a living legend who loved his craft, and was an absolute gentleman. So lucky to have shared a set with him. ❤️
