in i920s india, when the british were in charge. it s sheer movie escapism and it has been put together extremely well. rrr is a big movie, an epic action drama the most expensive indian movie ever made. not from bollywood, but tollywood. it s a telugu language film. it s gaining accolades by the minute. essentially, it is a story of friendship friendship between two giant heroes, you know? but what we did was, like, we kept the emotions as grounded, as very human. their strengths might be superhuman. but there is a beautiful friendship that is developing between them. rrr has become a global phenomenon. it s become a hit across india, injapan, the us, as well as elsewhere.
they tend to be more choreographed. in the old days, it was like 0k, get on with it . but life is what we make of it. this version does also focus on the men in lady chatterley s life the ptsd 0liver mellors is suffering after the first world war that causes him to isolate himself, the class bitterness between gamekeeper and landowner, and sir clifford chatterley s own mental health problems after a wartime injury that leads him to rebuff his wife. but this is emma corrin s film as constance chatterley and as such, their comments on acting categories becoming gender neutral could have a lot of currency, given that award season is already under way. for me, one of the more pleasant surprises at the movies in 2022 was the indian film rrr. it s a story of the relationship between two heroes
there s some food in there. it is quite good because you get a dvd i mean, not a lot of people have dvd players any more. you get a screenplay. the other thing about all this is it s very wasteful packaging. sometimes, there is nice chocolate. ok, this is puss in boots why would i want anything to do with puss in boots? these books, i mean, they re beautifully produced. it must cost a fortune to put them together but basically, it is all soft promotional material and i find that kind of a wee bit off putting. well, i am, of course, a totally incorruptible human being anybody who knows me will tell you that so getting all these things like this is not, or did not, have any impact at all on me making up my list of the top ten films of the year. at number10, rrr, the indian action epic for the joy it brings to all who watch it.
