"Gunahon ka Devta" 1967

What to do in a gray rainy day for not giving them much thought, and then depressed, the events of the Rising Sun?
or contact a force greater than ourselves, to choose between God and Star Trek, to name "The big bang theory" or even rely on the supplied DVD shrine in search of something lifted morale.
After starting out in the name of minimalism and avant-garde, I have firmly taken the way of India and listening this this and, once entered in the right frame of mind I decided to see "Gunahon ka Devta "Indian film of 1967.
How did you come to my DVD library in a Hindi film loosely subtitled? You should know that in India cinema is very important and I know all the films produced in the subcontinent, is sung, so much so that many films are determined by some of the songs contained therein. Actors is required athleticism, beauty and acting ability as for the vocals are dubbed by singers professionals. Among the female vocals for a long time, it was important Lata Mangeskhar (I hope I wrote his name correctly ... never remember where it falls, the "h" in Devanagari transliteration system in the Latin).
Mrs. Mangeskhar gave voice to many heroines of the film and "gunahon ka Devta" is no different. I do not know exactly for what mysterious reason, but I remember clearly defined, perhaps contemporary with the first film Kurosawa ("Ran") I've ever seen, some scenes from this movie.
Evidently I must have tainted one of my friends with this news, and other likely unintended, about this film so I got a DVD in Hindi with English subtitles, with two classics Indians and "guhanon ka Devta" is one of them.
The first striking thing about these films is the gestures and movements absolutely excessive for us, as it is striking that the actors start in Bezzo the scene, singing immersed in a setting that involves at least three or four people and sometimes the entire population of the town in which the film is set.
What then is striking is the excess, the colors, the scenery ... in everything, the rest of the Indian culture certainly can not go hand in hand with the concept of "minimalism."
Like many others I have always been limited to the appearance of the surface, that is, to our eyes the most comical, but after saw about a hour of film, I still have an hour and ten residue to watch, I realized some things that I could catch only a cultural background with a little 'more varied. I must say thanks to filmography Alla Nazimova and a recent foray into silent film of the 20s. The looks, the gestures, the choreography lavish, excess is the same as the films of those years in the 20s were necessary because the absence of voice prevented viewers to empathize with what was happening on the scene and the opulence offered the viewer the image of an idealized world where the action took place.
The operation of the Indian film is a mixture of elements from silent films, along with a dose of realism, the use of overlapping characters well defined as it was in greek theater where the masks were used, I mean the greek theater because I do not know the tradition, which certainly exists and is alive and strong, and the history of theater in India. .. luckily they are not omniscient.
It is, at least for those films of which I remember reading, or having seen clips from the network, the pursuit of happiness on earth, or in this reincarnation it seems more appropriate to the context, in spite of adversity and one thousand that being happy is possible.
might also seem an easy concept vehicles, and that points to keep the population subjugated to a particular social system can be, but Moreover, remember that anyone who believes this is "a vale of tears" is not their culture.
'm curious to see how it turns out the film, although of course I already know how this ends, but three hours of film are wound way too many, luckily the film has an age and have not shot in 3D ...
I discovered that there is, perhaps, even a modern makeover, or at least it has the same title, and one of the '80s that is classified as "action movie", and from what I understand the TV series began 's Last year, because that is what it is called and always "gunahon ka Devta" , it may be a mixture of the two films ... or the film of '67, at the moment seems more likely, nothing to do with this series. I also tried the online streaming TV series and I also find and watch two episodes but, alas, the television series is rightly said in Hindi, and there is not even a minute in English subtitle. The
not speak Hindi and not even understand it.
