I have a partial disagreement on this. I agree that it is not a great idea to showcase the protagonist as a moral perfectionist. Though it might look like a socially uplifting movie, it won't push people to behave the same way. For ex, mudhalvan, Indian etc., twitter.com/Mr_McLovinnnn/status/1599264712616988672
Morally, socially perfect character is a lie and it usually alienates people from connecting to the character. So yes. Including grey characters who are imperfect and make mistakes is a necessity for people to connect.
So it is fine if the character is a serial killer, kidnapper, stalker or a womenizer. But this comes with an exception. It is the responsibility of the creator, in this case the director, to put this character in a moral compass somewhere in the story.
If u are showing the main char as a smuggler, u should somehow make the audience realise at some point it is not worth it to be a smuggler. U could find this properly done in movies like, Sadhuranga vettai, Kutrame dhandanai, aandavan kattalai
I do expect political correctness in movies, atleast to a certain level. Yes. People are still gonna commit crimes even if we make absolute morally perfect movies. But that doesn't mean, we would support a movie which upholds honor killing or any other social ill-practices.
And if the creator fails to put the character in the moral compass, we should criticize them. I have seen moj videos, where people use the villain's jaadhi potrum dialogs and proudly acting to it. Even from the movies where it is clearly placed in moral compass.
Indha madhri social structure la irukra apo, people do get influenced by the nuances of character and thus the creator should definitely take responsibility. But banning a movie just because u have a few disagreements in some parts, not gonna help either.
I do agree with Quentin on this. But his movies are mostly revenge action dramas and there is always a reason for the anger. And this QT is actually for the love today movie. I hate that people r either completely defending the movie or going to another extreme & asking for a ban
People go enjoy the movie in theatres. Comeback and introspect a little bit about it. Go ahead and criticise if u want. But don't judge people just because they loved the movie. 🤷♂️
I haven't watched the movie yet 😅 naan paathutu enaku pudichudhu na kandipa Twitter la Sola maaten. 😭 Irukra prachana podhum 🤗
