  • Fine adaptation of Khushwant Singh's classic novel

    I finally got around to seeing this film the other day, and it was worth the wait. It tells the story of a small town on the border of India/Pakistan just as partition is ripping the cultures apart. Singh's novel of the same title came out in 1956, and was probably the first English language novel to deal with this traumatic historical event, which saw nearly 10 million people rendered homeless, and perhaps 1 million murdered, raped, and kidnapped. Rooks takes Singh's social realist narrative and faithfully transcribes it to the screen, with the allegory of India's tragic fate still bitterly intact. Hopefully, this film will gather a wider audience later in its life than it had upon release when it was all but ignored, in India and abroad. It has an important message to us all about the reality of cross-cultural harmony being destroyed by desperate and ignorant ideologues. Unfortunately, the current political climate in India and Pakistan seems largely uninterested in such a view right now.

  • Insightful expose of US media "self censorship"

    As another user noted, this film has much in common with the much longer "Manufacturing Consent." Studs Terkel hosts this hour long documentary about how the US media's corporate backing effectively creates a culture of "self censorship." This is one of those films that should make you angry and motivated to do something. As Jefferson noted, a free press is imperative if democracy is to work.

  • Uneven but worthwhile biography of the Tamil poet and political hero

    I did not know anything about Subbayya Bharathi before seeing this, so it was enlightening to get a nice background on an important figure in Indian history. For one, it might help Western audiences get a more nuanced picture of the independence movement in India, as I think too often we think of it as a one man struggle (Gandhi).

    As for artistic merit, this film certainly has some weaknesses. It doesn't particularly capture the period (turn of century). It also focuses almost entirely on Bharathi's family and personal problems, so if you are interested in his literary or political thought, this is actually not a very good source. I understand some Tamil critics were annoyed at this. Still, I think they did do a nice job of presenting the alienation of the social reformer in a culture still quite bound by notions of caste and gender roles. The relationship between Bharathi and his wife was particularly complex and compelling, I thought.

    On a final note, the film is a bit overlong at 150 minutes. You are carried along for the most part, but the musical interludes (standard Indian fare) will probably seem silly and dragged out to western audiences.
