read my first line properly joe!

Leave it! I am not good enough in english to understand your first line

[Peptobismol]

Erica, Thanks a lot for the wonderful explanation! It all makes sense ... :P

But I still feel if we put down the ratio remakeriginal, it might be like 1:10 or something like that! So that will not mean that Tamil cinema will go down ... And yeah, ppl who remake movies probably dont care much abt the ART of cinema, but rather give HIT movies for Business reasons and their personal benefit only, or maybe to keep the fans and audience intact as well!

And say for example, a movie that has a concept that is totally out of the box for the Tamil audience ... And if some director/actor tries to remake it ... Maybe that will become a trendsetter and make ppl think a little outside their world ... That could mean, quality of Tamil cinema could also improve by remakes right?

Ellarume thirudanggattan. There is a thin blur line between getting inspired and copying.

like "pudhiya paravai" uruvified from "following the crooked shadow"?

if uruvified why does times magazine recognise nayagan?...

if u say inspiration and copying has thin line..."pather panchali" is inspired from a western drama....is sathyajitray a thirudan

if u say inspiration and copying has thin line..."pather panchali" is inspired from a western drama....is sathyajitray a thirudan Maybe I was wrong. But as long as you credit the original, then it's okay. That is the point of remakes, you credit the original guy and your do your version.

The digression I have with Nayagan is that he took scenes from other movie. Athan en manasu thaanggala. And not credited. I like mani, and I am crazy about Kamal, but both have taken and not credited the original source. That is copying.

Now, inspiration would something that is taken and is further improvised. Remember, the climax of MMKR? It was taken from one Chaplin movie. Same house, same edge of the hill, but Kamal added a whole bunch of crowd, himself in four roles and had hell of a time. that is inspiration.

But you are right, I won't call it thin blur line. But the line is quite thin.

if u say inspiration and copying has thin line..."pather panchali" is inspired from a western drama....is sathyajitray a thirudan sorry to say this Vikki. But I think u mistunderstood what "groucho" said. He said there is only minimal difference between getting inspired and copying.

He didn't refer to anyone in particular. He referred to the word "Inspiration " being used by many to hide their copying, I think.

btw, Only Nayagan got recognition in the magazine. Right ? I have nothing against this as long as it enriches tamil cinema.

But anyway mistake is a mistake. Be it inspiration or copying.

thats why i mentioned that satyajitray example!

see..in cinema everything is inspiration...from real life or from the movies they watch in younger days!

but the way they take is what matters...devar mahan is inspired from godfather....this would explain that there is a huge line between copying and inspiration

[S.T.D.]

Some of NT movies might be inspired or copied from some movies ..But NT never copied anybody in his acting and there are many many people who copy him in acting.
