Ray

World has ever produced rather

​@@prasenjitbag5248he is an imposing legend but world's greatest? Not by a mile!

haha

I can TOTALLY see him killing the Godfather role

Ray rejected Brando as a main character in his film

His height baritone doesn't matter What matters is his artistic vision

Hence we bengalis have Satyajit Ray extremely tall Rittik Ghatak average height Mrinal Sen Below average height

The Music Room (Jalsaghar) is undoubtedly one of my top favourites as well. A true masterpiece and poetry in motion. I didn't know that a film about a stubborn, entitled old man would move and resonate with me this much but it did!!

Well, it is difficult to infer, if Spielberg “stole” the script of “The Alien”. One thing is for sure is the obvious similarities between “The Alien” and “ET”, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Spielberg stole it. At that time the Script of “The Alien” was available in European market and fell into the Spielberg’s screenwriter. As for Spielberg pressing for Ray’s lifetime achievement academy award, it was mot true. It was Martin Scorsese who had pushed ahead with his support of Ray’s lifetime achievement Academy awards. Spielberg has always avoided talking about Ray, whereas Scorsese, Wes Anderson and a few others drive have talked about his greatness.

Banku babur bandhu written By Mr Ray...

​@@tanushrimandal377yes in English that is named as "The Alien"

BEcause nobody else could think of a movie with an alien arriving to Earth in it.

Thats right, however exception here is Ray went to Ballygunge Government School and that is a Bengali medium school, where all teachers were native Indian. He developed his English speaking skills from BBC radio. He wrote this somewhere ( so far I remember in his book " Amar Chelebela" - My Childhood.)

Yes i'm surprised as well. As well versed as educated as they are in cinema, its a surprise they haven't seen it. Fun fact Through a Glass Darkly (1961) won an Oscar for best foreign language film. I believe every cinema lover should watch Ingmar Bergman's films. He is to Sweden what Satyajit Ray is to India.

i was about to type this comment..glad you mentioned it..

I second this. Ray's movies are all treasures and gems, but there's something about Jalsaghar and the great Chhabi Biswas ji.

🙏🙏🙏

Nowadays every bengali is being called Bangladeshi that too by Bihari immigrants in Bengal, and they are still alive, I am sure they don't have the guts to call Marathis by offensive names in Maharashtra but we Bengalis are lacking the spine to teach them that they are in the land of Bengalis

No now a days u r celebrated if you are a money hungry fuckall Marwari or Gujarati. Suddenly it seems having your own business is the only thing celebrated in India… even the greatest cardiologist is basically working for a business man who is most probably a marwari or a Gujarati who is taking 80% profit in to their own pocket and giving 20% to the people who are working hard to make them successful

Kumar Sanu.......what? You serious

@@jackstraton1 yeah, he is Bengali. His actual name is actually Sanu Kumar Bhattacharya.

​@@abx9056 Kedarnath Bhattacharya

The exception here is Ray went to a Bengali medium ( Ballygunge Govt School). He wrote that his English speaking skills has lot to do with his habit to listening BBC radio.

@@tanmaybasu10 thank you for the info bro👍

You are not alone.

He attended a Bengali medium school. I am sure his English was mostly self taught

He went to Ballygunge Government School, which is a Bengali medium school. He developed his English speaking skill from BBC radio.

Jaws might have released in India in 1978.

@@lodalega9674 no, movies are released not THAT far in different countries. It was released in 1975 in India as well.

@@MadanChikna maybe,maybe not.

@@lodalega9674 please check it online. It released on 26th December 1975 in India as well as USA.

It is also a Sujoy Ghosh Flim

Good film but too much change from the original story.

Bengalies are busy proving their citizenship and patriotism for a country that deliberately picks out on them , seeking validation from people that have since decades looked down on them, sabotaged them, humiliated, belittled and still do it even today.. Mere lip service of "we respect bengalies" mean nothing infront of the reality. Meanwhile Bengalies remain complacent and keep on looking for faults within themselves. Why are u surprised with the "decline" in limelight then? Satyajit Ray warned of it. Opportunities, Resources and Capital has been stripped off of bengalies conveniently. So why the surprise? If bengalies had understood him instead of worshipping him, there would be a difference. Besides, I wouldn't say there is a complete dissolution of intelligentsia. It's just that Delhi centric hindi imperialist media doesn't show it much. They ignore Bengali scientists making breakthroughs ,even proving Stephen Hawking's theories wrong, but will go on and gloat about interviews about IIT toppers from North India and then based on their lack of ignorance will rant there isn't anything happening in Bengal nowadays. Then there is a political enmity of Indians towards Bengal too. Purely , a game of narrative. Self Depreciating rants that bengalies have been moaning for decades only added to their weakening and benefit for the people who peddled it.

@@S.Ghosh_221 Well... this is not a forum for debate. Neither did I ask for it. Nonetheless, you can have your views. You are entitled to it. Signing off 🙏

@@souptikkk I didn't seek "debate" either, although I don't refrain from intelligent debate if I ever get into one,(oddly debates on logic and facts ,I have rarely got from Indophiles). You moaned about Bengali decline here. So I just needed to add more vital points to it which u didn't mention or are unaware of.

@@S.Ghosh_221 Fair enough. I understand. I just wish you had better choice of words than just saying 'moaning'. Words that would do an objective critique of a statement rather than subjectively analysing what prompted one to make a statement. This will lead to a more engaging discourse. I am sure you will agree. Anyways, you seem to be a good debater. Best wishes buddy.

@@souptikkk Comminuism destroyed many things of Bengal.

If your implication that Indian Cinema has not progressed much since, then I must say that is questionable, since regarding what ? Story, technology or something else. Also why compare to Hollywood or another movie industry, in fact they themselves have their big blockbuster similar to the Indian cinema, and both celebrate those movie in the similar way. Also on a different note movies can be intuitive, Intriguing and altering, but not all movies have to be the greatest out there or the post surreal experience you've had.

Aww shut up....Korean cinema?? Ha ha ha ha...just because of a few Oscar nominations, right?? There were better films made in Bengali cinema in the 50s & 60s than were made anywhere else in Europe or the Americas. It's a pity that the rest of India had absolutely no inkling of those films. And I am not talking about the Mrinal Sens, the Rays and Ghataks. They weren't born out of vacuum. Stop being so self-deprecating all the time......or worse still, being such a kiss-arse.

It's a big joke if you think that Indian cinema has not progressed.

Sid here it comes , our very own PR people working for bullywood👍

What's with this insecure attitude?

@@charlie7mason man i am stating a true fact, u r the one who is getting insecured with my comment 😜

@@ghostboy_9229 It is perfectly alright for more than one person to be good and not be able to replace each other. Your thought process is like that of an edgy child.

Earlier people from India specially from Bengal would speak with the accent .But now a days it got distorted.
