equa vandha dhAn oru dijipline varudhu. Good framework equa. Now this all encompassing definition of entertainment is problematic for me. It is like the word beautiful. I get really impatient with people who seriously say my grandma is beautiful and Mother teresa is beautiful etc. I mean, use another word. Or if I have the wrong word, then give me that will exclude the abovementioned two noble souls and include the heroini of this year's best Mass movie. Eitherway we know at some level - not saying this is easy to articulate, and that is what we shall attempt to here - the distinction exists. The distinction is rather amorphous and is composed faced with exceptions to exceptions which have exceptions. But that does not mean the distinction itself does not exist. |

Of course, you also say, "தனியொருவனுக்கு படம் சிக்கவில்லையெனில் genreஐ ஒழித்திடுவோம்." But I'm trying to see if there's some middle ground. |

If reactions are influenced by prior experience, expectation, cultivated taste, and so on, then what human experience escape this. Endorsing a view that responses (to a film, or a scene) are subjective implicitly mean the inference are (subjective) too, in which case excepting 'Entertainment' is a Non-Sequitur. Any distinct quality (of filmmaking) that holds attention to that particular person would obviously be his idea/sense of Entertainment. And I don't mean to put it snobbishly. This applies to Symbolism in a Mahendran film just as much in Flying Frog Splash in World Wrestling.

True, if the word is intended to connote a general (all-inclusive) liking towards something. But when the idea is to differentiate between various reactions to various films, it is undeniably a very useful (and hence very common) word. வார்த்தையா முக்கியம்! |

விவாதத்தைத் துவங்கும் ஒரு ஆரம்பப்புள்ளியாக முன்வைத்தேன். மரபு (ஜெமொ சொல் alert !) என்று ஒரு இருப்பதால் அது பொதுமைப்படுத்துதலுக்கு அப்பார்ப்பட்டதா ? மரபின் தொடர்ச்சியைப் பற்றி மிகுந்த பிரக்ஞையுடன் அவை உருவாக்கப்படுகின்றன என்று வைத்துக்கொண்டாலும், ஒரு படைப்பை வகைப்படுத்துவதற்கு என் வரையறைகள் ஆரம்பமாக இருக்கலாம் என்றே கருதுகிறேன். இல்லையா ? 'சுப்ரமணியபுரம்' போன்ற ஒரு படம் எந்த விதத்தில் இந்த கூறுகளிலிருந்து மசாலா படங்களை விட விலகியிருக்கின்றது? இது subjective 'ஆன ஒரு கேள்வி தான். (அந்தப் படத்தைப் பற்றி உங்கள் மதிப்பீடு தெரிந்ததானால் என்னால் இந்தக் கேள்வியை முன்வைக்க முடிகிறது.) வரையறைகள் பிரதானமாக qualitative 'ஆக இருப்பதனால் தான் இந்தச் சிக்கல். இதனாலேயே கூட, இந்தத் திசையில் செல்லாமல் இருப்பது உபயோகமாக இருக்குமில்லையா?

Masala movie - made with a template. There are a countless number of films that are based on two or three templates of love stories. If this were to be true, why is it that we don't call them masala films? There's a certain mode in which masala films operate, and it's precisely that mode which registers as masala in the audience's mind. |
