Kerala - A land of Hippocrates
Have you ever thought about the double standards of keralites ? Well you have to become a malayalee to know what I meant. Recently I saw the latest movie from fast and furious franchise. We all know how sad for the fans to see Paul Walker in his last film. But what I found interesting is the reception of that movie by mallu's.
Years ago back in kerala along with my some other friends I watched Sagar Alias Jacky, this movie lacks a good plot but was perfect in technical aspect, I would say one of the stylish movie. But my friends did not accepted many of the fight scenes because of the logic behind it. I have seen many allegations like this against another actor - prithviraj : many of his old movie had fight sequences with out logic. I agreed with that view of the people that film should have an element like supernatural to show fight sequences with out any logic. That is the reason we always cheer for superman and batman, interestingly in India we have another Gotham state - Tamil Nadu. where we can find another superhero Rajnikant. He is above the script and viewers. what ever he does in a film is acceptable to the fans and particular viewers. I should say he made his career with a magic wand of style and power. He is the legend, legend became god for fans, but there are a bench of new actors trying to imitate the same style and action in their respective films. Like vijay , surya , ajith and vikram. The same malayalee viewers who cannot accept the logic of stunt scenes in malayalam films will clap for the illogical scenes of tamil and hindi superstars.Even in that case there are a bench of intellectual audience who say that it could never happen and mallus always remain as the best critical audience.
Apparently I had a discussion with one of my friend and he said that people like to cheer about the external factors more than the internal simplicity and this may be the reason every keralite finds it interesting to watch Vijay picking up a tyre of JCB or vikram fighting 50 men at a time. Even in this scenario there are another set of guys who follows hollywood, they always alleges and argue that the best films are always made in hollywood and others are just copycats. so tell me the logic of these hollywood fans ? when you watch AVATAR you need to know about the inner meaning along with the magic of visuals , like the world economic policy and poverty as per the imagination of those writers. And there are some geniuses who create movies and we always end up in a question like in nolan movies ? Now we should compare those guys complain about the mallu superheros and tamil superheros with another category, the self proclaimed intellectuals of films. Those who spend their time to rate movies in imdb and make a critical view of each movie on their FB wall. It is very common these days to see a status like this kerala - watching FF7 @ sreekumar with X Y Z...feeling pwoli vin diesel kalipppp..... I dont know what is the reason keralites consider this movie as the most appealing movie in recent times, apart from the tribute we can give to the lead actor Paul Walker, there is nothing to cheer about in that movie. the action sequences in that movie can be comparable with those comics in the balarama where you can make everything possible with the magic wand of mayavi or magic malu. Tell me how can it be possible for a car to jump from one building to another ? whom do you think having more eyesight , an eagle or dwayne johnson ? Was vin diesel and co present during the time elixir was served ? after watching the whole film you could understand one thing that it is not possible to kill Don and co. Also they are using some special kind of cars which can land on the desired place with the help of parachutes, it is having high defensive system to elude from all kind of missiles. Even if the missile hit their cars, all passengers can safely land in highways with out injury just one micro second before the explosion. If you start to point out the loop holes in this movie you might get a value for infinity and possibly get a Nobel in mathematics and literature. Interestingly mallus find this movie interesting with this much number of errors. may be there is a pride inside the mallus where they always need to say that the west is better than the east. people in kerala find joy in saying that they felt good after watching those EPIC scenes in the movie. In imdb people used to rate movies according to the standards, may be because of the sad demise of Mr. Walker people are giving high ratings to this movie. Or may be am so jealous of this genre lovers. I have seen many people who hates the godfather movie and finds twilight as interesting. So may be am wrong in my perception.
Last but not least we know how keralites handle litter. They find space for rubbish in neighbor's courtyard, throw away empty bottles in road, always try to spit in footpaths and so on. To an extend we can blame government for not providing enough services in this sector like bins, waste treatment etc. I must say that it is a part our life style, in my childhood the first interesting activity I found in road was to place an empty 'mango fruity' cartoon on road and wait for a vehicle to run over it. There begins my part in ruining the environment by dumping litter on road. But how can I relate it with the Hippocratic malayalee ? when you move to some other place than india you will change that behavior. when I moved to England, I feel like am a narendra modi of UK doing swacch england campaign here. Always walk toward bins to spit my chewing gums, never make a noise in public places (except in library) and show manners in queues. This manners is not the one inherited, this is not what I learned in my childhood, But this is an act a mallu can do everywhere on earth to show that you are one among the host nationalities or should I say - pambine thinnunna naatil chennal nadu kashnam thinnanam (a proverb in malayalam)
I dont want to make this more complex by including politics in this note, just wait for the next assembly elections and you can see how Hippocratic are those malayalees. To stand against the anarchists like me they always stay together like a broom.
