Satyajit Ray filmed his second film on the Goopy-Bagha Series way back in 1980 which magically revealed the ongoing and everlasting social set-up not merely in Bengal but globally.
I normally have a tendency to see the film time and again in order to test the message of the film over changing time. I must admit that I'm defeated every moment I observe the film with the power of it's relevance as I'm a bit adamant that message of a film changes over time.
Today, while I've been observing the film I found another strange coincidence. When the King was about to celebrate the ceremony of coronation of his bust to be attended by dignitaries of kingdoms around, he made it a point to remove the poor and hungry from the shanties and keep them in places which would not be observable to the dignitaries. It's a strange coincidence. During the Commonwealth Games, Sheila Dixit moved the beggars and homeless to special places in order to make the streets free of them. There has been a huge media coverage on this issue. There's so stark a resemblance to what we see in this movie that believable looks unbelievable .
The inventions of the scientist possibly reveals the acts of Heisenberg, Neils Bohr and Atto Hahn...during the World Wars, but the film saw the same scientist act otherwise. I'm waiting to observe the phase reversal of the scientist in today's realm.
Media is giving blows to the kingdoms today. I want to see the media acting as the 'teácher' today and leading the revolution and not otherwise.
