If it is BLACK, I know that better than most.
Hello DARKNESS Smiling Friend
I have come to talk again.
Because the visions that keeps creeping,
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
i>And the visionthat was planted in my brain, still remains, because
I hear ???.THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE
BLACK: YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT TO UNDERSTAND IT
Me and my staid young very wise friend for life , Q, at the RSI club bar after watching BLACK
Q: Stop singing and Shut your frigging Mouth!I am suffering a terrible migraine after this movie.
M: Barman, saab ke liyee double large!
Q: After Page 3 we should have done AVIATOR. I warned you I get pretty upset with these sort of movies.
M: You an escapist. You have no stomach for reality. People like that, deaf-dumb-blind, they out there and live a life. Black helps in understanding that.
Q: Why should I understand that? Just coz I live a life? God, true. This is life with or without eyses and ears man. The Vodka?is good. I am feeling better already. Hmmmm?..Sanjay Leela?man hats off to him and his star cast.
M: Now you sounding okay. Yes. I am going to spend a day with a Black cloth strapped around my eyes and earplugs one whole day.Just to figure out what this sort of deaf and blind life is all about.
Q: You crazy or what? I should have done that in the theater. By God, dimaag pagal ho gayaa. The little kid girl?.Jesus, the way she lived her life, the way that kid acted her role as a deaf and blind, man my hair stood on ends.
M: So you have hair. All these years you were the wise man. Have a thought for the parents. The way they bring up such kids, the way they have to deal with them growing. It was all there in the movie and shown so very sensitively. I bow to these people.
Q: Stop! I can?t handle you no more than I could handle the movie.
M: So if the movie wrenched your guts off, it was a great movie.
Q: No doubt. No doubt. Amitabh Bachhan?.man that dude is here for a long time. What a role what a teacher!
M: And Rani Muks. Jeez, such a brilliant actress and she moves around with Govinda! Crap! She deserves better. You know what? Sanjay Leela said, ?Many a times during the shoot, Mr Bachhan would stand silently in a corner and weep, sometimes loudly? ?.the role and the script got him bad. Turned him inside out!
Q: You serious? I can believe that. Look at me man. I am suffering just watching the movie.Just to recap?.is it possible that he taught her to get through a University degree?
M: I guess there be many such folks who beat all odds and came good like Helen Keeler.Just that we don?t know these folks. They the real heroes in this tough world.
Q: Man you right. We got everything, eyes, ears, touch, feel?..and we screwed up our lives. I mean, we could have done so much more with these God given gifts. This is what I learnt from this movie.
M: Man you young mate. You have a life. And you learnt fast. Yes we can go a long way if we use these faculties as per the design specifications, correct. Just that we do not realize what we have. We crib about what we do not have Chalo, life goes on man.
Q: Shut up!I am screwed up in my head. All messed up. I am reevaluating my 30 years on earth! Now get me a double large. This might well be the last drink of my life!
M: Cool. As I said you a fast learner. Bar man, saab ke liyee double large.
Q: You know what? I don?t know about you, but the next weekend I am going to tie a black band around my eyes and plug my ears just for 24 hours. I will do that! Just to experience BLACK.
M: Been there done that. Way to go mate. Barmen mere liyee, BLACK LABEL, double large! You will miss your Golf Game! So what??.
Q: What game? We have a game? 4 ball?
M: Pal, forget the game.
Post script: Q did precisely that. He lived 24 hour in darkness?.and shut all sounds out . He is transformed.
And in the naked light I saw, 10,000 people maybe more,
And the words of the Prophet are written on on the subway hall,
and tenment halls...
And whispered as.........
SOUNDS OF SILENCE.
That's how the movie ends.
Sanjay Leela, you moved people in more ways than you figured out. Way to go Man!
Mariner2.
