THE HATER

The Hater (2020)

Director : Jan Komasa
Starring: Maciej Musiałowski, Vanessa Aleksander, Agata Kulesza, Danuta Stenka


This is one movie that resembles the current political unrest created by the influence of social media globally. The movie is about a young fellow who gets thrown out of his law college for plagiarising his assignment. His uncle and aunt who fund his education constantly look down upon him and treat him as their inferior. This internally creates a lot of disturbance in him and he plans to avenge them soon. He joins a company that runs negative and positive campaigns for certain individuals as per the request of their clients through Social Media. As he learns the technicalities of such campaigns, he also uses social media as a platform for spreading fake news and hate-mongering. This results in devastating consequences. Coincidentally and unfortunately, three weeks after the movie got wrapped up, the mayor of Gdansk, a city in Poland was stabbed by a mob during an event and was killed. He was also a target for a large number of online trolls.


ஒரு நாட்டின் அரசியல் சூழலை, தகவல் தொழில்நுப்டமும் , சமூக வலைத்தளங்களும் எந்த அளவு தீர்மானிக்கின்றன என்பதை பிரதிபலிக்கும் திரைப்படம் இது. ஒரு பணக்கார குடும்பத்தால் புறக்கணிக்கப்பட்டு , அவமானதிற்கு உள்ளாகிற இளைஞன் ஒருவன் , போலந்தில் உள்ள ஒரு நிறுவனத்தில் சமூக வலைதள நிபுணராக பணிக்கு சேர்கிறான். தேர்தலில் வெற்றி பெற விரும்பும் ஒரு அரசியல்வாதிக்காக சமூக வலைதள பிரிச்சாரங்களை உருவாக்குவது இந்த இளைஞனின் வேலை. நாட்கள் செல்ல செல்ல தன் கையில் உள்ள அந்த தொழில்நுட்ப ஆயுதத்தை சில ஆபத்தான விஷயங்களுக்கு அந்த இளைஞன் பயன்படுத்த தொடங்குகிறான். அதன் விளைவு என்ன என்பதை படத்தின் முடிவு சொல்கிறது. இதில் உள்ள ஒரு வினோதமான நிகழ்வு என்னவென்றால் , இதன் படப்பிடிப்பு நிறைவுபெற்ற மூன்று வாரங்களுக்கு பிறகு போலந்தின் டான்ஸ்க் என்ற நகரின் மேயர் சில மர்ம நபர்களால் குத்தி கொல்லப்பட்டார். இதற்கு முன் பல நாட்களாக அவரை சமூக வலைதளங்களில் மக்கள் கடுமையாக விமர்சித்து வந்தது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...

MAESTRO'S MARVELS

Da Vinci - The multi-faceted polymath who has been the greatest inspiration for people for aeons. The admirable quality that I found in this Genius is the fearlessness that enabled him to explore and gain expertise in various areas exhaustively. He created the intellectual freedom for everyone to feel empowered to create a society of free thinkers, express without inhibitions and feel confident about choosing the mode of expression in a non-judgmental way.  "I am not good at this thing" is a statement I hear every now and then from my students in class. Some of them would say this spontaneously even without trying out that particular engagement. I had to really push them to give it a go, provide them examples of similar work, share my experiences or give them the comfort to practice by practising along with them. Leonardo never seemed to have this midblock and was very open to being experimental with his thoughts. Sometimes I had even taken the maestro's paintings, r...

DARK AND PUNY

           This is the story of a girl who had the same kind of life as mine except that she is "big" and I am "small". An inferiority complex is a very dangerous and irrevocable impression that can be created by parents on their children. There are certain inconsiderate opinions and treatments that affect those children and become their lifelong baggage to be carried.  Skin colour, facial features, and size are the factors involved. To rub salt in the wound, there are abrasive reminders every single day about the disappointments of the child.          There is no about the maternal and paternal love but how deep is it in comparison to the other things that they are fond of or if there is another kid born with all their expectations gratified, then the former one becomes the tester cake or the sidekick. We've all been on that boat when sibling rivalry takes its toll on our emotions.      ...
