dr dharmasena pathiraja was branded as a left bank ( wam ivura ) filmmaker in the 70s decade . his cinema mainly revolved around urban middle - class youth who challenge a prevailing capitalist socio - political system .

a clan of then youthful actors comprising vijeya kumaratunga , wimal kumar de costa , daya tennakoon , w jayasiri , amarasiri kalansooriya and malini fonseka in pathi’s films portrayed staggeringly , distressed youth who are deprived of many privileges let alone sex .

a . prasanna vithanage has suggested h d premasiri to entrust the project with me . when premasiri approached me , i read the book by chamminda welagedera and was fascinated by it .

the story revolves around ‘rajakari’ system prevailed in the colonial era in this country . it has many ingredients that are in harmony with my political ideology . thus it stimulated the passion in me to indulge in another film direction .

i told chamminda to write a screenplay on his story . we had two to three drafts written and i was happy with the final outcome .

producer premasiri is very different . he was too good . he gave me fullest freedom to select my cast , handle finances and direct the film . he is a person who respects one’s professionalism .

q . prasidini athapaththu portrays the role of rathi exceptionally well in the film . how did you find her

a . i wanted to cast in the lead role of rathi , a romantic and sexy looking female who also possesses traditional intellectual looks .

we came to know about prasadini athapaththu while interviews were progressing and we screen tested her . kelaniya university has bestowed her with intellectual looks and she proved well for the character . in chamminda’s novel , rathi is a very romantic yet somewhat tamed character .

a . i wanted to project this cinema as a historical social drama . thus the veteran donald karunaratne handled the camera to blend with the flow of the story being told .

rhythm was set according the narrative . from the very first shot we maintained this rhythm of camera .

if you noticed the end scene , the gunman with the gun in his hand walks towards an unknown destination while the pererahera is on its procession .

1918 rebellion was unsuccessful . but our struggle for freedom evolved with time and we won the freedom struggle in 1948 . the perahera continues to be held . rest is food for thought .

a . some call my films ahas gawwa , paara digae and mathuyam dawasa a trilogy . a filmmaker does not necessarily have to stick to one particular genre to position him .

what is important is to use the most appropriate rhythm to make a particular cinema . the political ideology or vision is a deep thought which is part and parcel with the creation as a whole . when you enjoy the cinema these values are automatically inculcated within you .

q . your cinema discusses politics in its deepest sense and never is political slogans . how was this filmmaker nurtured within you over the decades

a . at the time we started making films , critiques used to categorize filmmakers to their whims and fancies . that’s how i was branded as a left - bank ( wam ivura ) filmmaker . yet my political ideology too was socialist oriented .

i was a leftist from my schooling days . when i was studying for my university entrance at dharmaraja college , i used to listen to speeches of dr n m perera , dr colvin r de silva and bernad soyza with much interest . while in the university my batch mates used to call me a trotskyite .

however i studied english and sinhala literature and western classical drama thus associated closely with highly respected intellectuals as prof sarachchandra and prof siri gunasinghe .

a . actually i wanted to take forward the trend created by them and produce more realistic cinema that give wisdom to people .

their cinema did not showcase socialist realism but had a kind of penetration into deep issues in the society and reality .

my cinema was similar to this genre . indian filmmaker ritwic ghatak too was engaged in making similar cinema .

a . sex is grossly misinterpreted in this country . we should be aware that sexuality is part of reality and an essential part of life .

so - called moralists would say sex should take place within closed doors and should not be discussed openly . it is a mere psychosis .

you read child abuse , rape and extra marital affairs in paper . why not see them in cinema

it is a reductive attitude to say local filmmakers include sex in their films to get recognition in the international sphere .

if someone says that he is insulting filmmakers . we have a problem with critiques . most of them do not have proper background or education to indulge in film criticism .

a . i do not believe in censorship . the word censorship is not used in many countries and they do not have censor boards . there could be a kind of clarifying or rating system for films . we had the fifth circuit sometime back .

a . technology took its toll and brought us to a digital era . now there is no turning back . we can make digital films up to 4k level here and also cut down on costs . but our theatres are not digitalized to facilitate this and that is a crisis .

the government should interfere and do this . however for restoration purposes movies can be kept on tape .

now there is a trend to shoot in negatives and convert via digital intermediate to release the film digitally .

that way we can restore the film in negative and preserve it . restoration power is with the tape .

a . i don’t think there were characters for either of them in the film .

having given considerable concern in regard to the current state of affairs pertaining to the plantation industry , i wish to highlight certain facts , even though many have expressed their views . the . . .

- duvvada jagannadham movie is a romantic action entertainer written and directed by harish shankar and produced by dil raju under sri venkateswara creations banner while devi sri prasad scored music for this movie stylish star allu arjun playing the title role .

duvvada jagannadha sastry alias dj is a traditionally raised brahmin guy from vijayawada who runs a catering business . he doesn’t hold back from taking things into his hands for the greater good , thanks to ethics instilled in him by his grandfather . now , dj , with help from a unassertive cop ( murali sharma ) , is hot on the heels of royyala naidu , the backbone of an ‘agro diamond’ scam , and is set to meet him through a series of twists in tale .

the visuals are well - shot and pooja hegde looks stunning . the character of rao ramesh as royyala naidu is definitely the highlight of the first half . the first half comes across as a wholesome commercial pot boiler that makes you want to sit for the rest of the film .

for the foot tapping music and a thumping background score , musician devi sri prasad deserves applause . songs , might on the other hand disappoint the fans for their picturisation and also for not having their favorite actor doing some twerks to the music . it is only in the song ' seetimar ' does the actor gives you away some kickass dance moves . the action sequences are quite well done . on the whole , duvvada jagannadham will entertain not just die - hard fans , but also the average moviegoer for serving up a heady mix of comedy , action and drama .

duvvada jagannadham has received good ratings from the audiences . from the morning itself , fans of allu arjun thronged rtc cross roads where most of the movie theaters are located in hyderabad . allu arjun ' s brother allu shisish and mega star chiranjeevi ' s daughter srija also came to watch the movie .

the film seems to be unique from starting to the end with many twists . the first half is total entertainment with fun sequences of allu arjun and pooja hegde . the love tracks are also nice . allu arjun has presented good looks and good dancing moves . the songs are well - placed . thus , he has mesmerized the audience .

the twists hold viewers ' attention . the first part is extremely good and excites the viewer to watch the second part as well . the movie ' s climax is the major part of the film in which allu arjun chases the villain . it is all awesome .

dj aka duvvada jagannadham has an interesting story that is about a police officer , who disguises himself as a brahmin cook to investigate a case . the first half of the movie is entertaining and some songs , comedy and romance engage you . last 20 minutes before the interval are just brilliant . the second half is also good with intense action , say the audiences .

you have to figure that mcsorley is good for a td or two or three . penn state is a 28 - point favorite against the scarlet knights , who yield an average of 38 points per game . plus , mcsorley is on a hot streak - - he has had a hand in 10 touchdowns over the past three games .

it took morano and penn state nearly 20 minutes to score , and they led just 1 - 0 at the half . but the game was never in doubt . within a five - minute span in the second half , penn state added three more goals to extend its lead to 4 - 0 .

the redskins ' rookie quarterback put on a phenomenal performance in the first half against the new orleans saints . the heisman trophy winner out of baylor went 6 for 6 in washington ' s first offensive drive , leading to a field goal . on the first pass of the redskins ' second drive , rgiii threw his first career touchdown pass . .

“these pledge drives are so much fun because it’s a chance for us to work with our fans and establish something bigger than football together , ” mcsorley said in a an uplfiting athletes press release .

while todman showed a burst to the end zone on the screen pass , it was a mixed game for his fantasy value . josh ferguson got the start at running back and todman did not get a rushing attempt . todman is likely third at this point behind ferguson and robert turbin in the competition to be frank gore ' s backup .

355 points in 10 games , the most penn state has scored in a full season since 2009 ( 375 ) , bettering a string of 319 , 251 , 349 , 344 , 268 and 300 points from 2010 - 2015 .

hamlett was activated off the practice squad earlier this week due to injuries to tight ends randall telfer ( ankle ) and seth devalve ( knee ) and was able to make his mark with his first nfl touchdown reception . gary barnidge is still the man in cleveland , but hamlett could ultimately turn into a red - zone threat .

meanwhile , no . 1 pick in that same draft , andrew luck , was not off to quite the same blistering start against the chicago bears . of course , luck was in good company as matt ryan and mark sanchez ( seriously ) were the only signal callers playing anywhere near as well as the kid with the flashy socks and the big arm .

picking from no . 2 overall in ppr is a piece of cake - - you ' ll start with either todd gurley . . .

penn state football : tds by joe moorpoint’s offense vs . rutgers will count extra

or , to ( kinda ) quote james franklin : “touchdowns , touchdowns , touch - downs . ”

148 points over the past three games – 62 at purdue , 41 against iowa and 45 at indiana , the first time ever psu has scored over 40 points in three consecutive big ten conference games .

that ' s more total points scored than in 12 of penn state’s past 18 complete campaigns .

fifteen different nittany lions have scored touchdowns in 2016 , from saquon barkley ( with his 15 ) to the scoop - and - scores of defenders grant haley and torrence brown .

which is all well and good . but here’s the thing , for the betterment of society :

. overall , uplifting athletes has made an economic impact of more than $ 400 million in the area disease community with chapters across the nation , including nebraska , ohio state and clemson .

“i think uplifting athletes speaks to the character of penn state football , ” said shirley . “and to watch this team get behind their pledge it campaign and recruit the fans to rally around them proves how we are different . ”

“and uplifting athletes has been good for our team , definitely , but even moreso for the people with rare diseases we’re able to help . ”

the actress dame sybil thorndike was one of the outstanding figures in british theatre in the first half of the 20th century . she is best remembered as a shakespearean tragic actress and as saint joan , a part written for her by george bernard shaw .

buster plays a family man in this one , and he ' s married to sybil seely once again . in fact , this is apparently a sequel to " one week . " he shows that he takes care of children about as well as he builds houses .

keaton takes his wife ( my favourite keaton gal sybil sealey ) and two children boating , leaving a trail of mass destruction in his wake ! there are a couple of iconic keaton moments in this one . the first launch of the ship with keaton stoically standing on the bow only for the boat to immediately sink is hilarious . the cleverly…

the family ends up in a row boat that was actually their bathtub . of course one of the boys pulls the plug out of the drain . they end up on some land and keaton mouths the earliest expletive i know of by a major movie star in a film .

, keaton and his cameraman elgin lessley advanced the art of photographic effects with their mechanical ingenuity . on a single strip of 35mm film , they created shots with as many as nine images of keaton interacting with his multiple selves . to achieve this effect , lessley masked part of the camera lens , filmed keaton’s antics , then rewound the film to its original starting frame , moved the lens mask , then filmed the relocated keaton again . this required precise timing for keaton’s performance , and excruciating accuracy for lessley . once they had begun , there was no way to correct any miscues or misplaced elements in the frame . unfortunately , the show within the film features keaton in blackface , a performance that modern audiences find objectionable . ( minstrel shows were a standard element of 1920s live theater , and blackface performances did not entirely vanish from american entertainment until the 1960s . ) keaton and lessley used the multiple exposures again , most notably in the 1924 feature

the first keaton i ' ve seen , and to be fair it ' s neither his best nor my interest but it ' s old school charm wins over . it ' s not a film i think you talk that much about , it ' s fairly slapstick about it , but from a historical perspective it ' s an interesting snapshot into the humor of the time . i could have happily watched a little more .

as a father of two boys , who also builds things in the basement , i connected to this little film very well . keaton runs ragged trying to keep his family and bought afloat . yes , yes , yes , you could definitely say this movie is allegorical to the stresses of being a married father trying to support his family . i am not sure if keaton was going for that but it ' s there if you want to see it .

exaggerates the problems an amateur might encounter with a build - by - numbers house . the young couple assembling their first home in a sub - development—actually the metro pictures studio lot—achieve epic levels of architectural disaster that keaton accomplishes through mechanical wizardry , all of which he designed himself . there is very little camera trickery in this short , all the effects are mechanical , not photographic . for the malformed house to spin in the film’s climax , it was mounted on a massive turntable .

i think this is the best buster keaton short film i have seen . it is a pure set - up , where keaton , with family in tow , has built a large boat that he intends to the pacific . he wrecks his house , sinks his car , before getting the boat to the sea , then it starts going badly wrong . a storm , a leak , a sinking . like a vacation gone wrong , in the most amusing way possible . a perfect 27 minutes .

buster keaton was great at what he did . he understood the medium he worked in so well . it is why his work is still at all relevant today . the boat is a short film that has very little dialogue screens . it doesn ' t need to . like all of his work , it is in what he does that is so important and not what he says . although , the boat does end on one of the funniest pieces of unspoken dialogue i have ever not heard .

, also about the pitfalls of technology , presages the automatic kitchen via an elaborate rube goldberg apparatus . offering a glimpse of the transformation of america’s population from rural to suburban in the early 20th century , the film opens inside a single - room farmhouse outfitted with a profusion of labor - saving devices . state - of - the - art technologies like phonographs and natural gas are highlighted in a distinctly agrarian environment , complete with pigs , ducks , and cornfields . a chase sequence follows the progress of the moment , beginning on horseback , moving through a railroad yard , and ending on a motorcycle .

this is less inventive & clever and less funny than the keaton ' s i ' ve seen so far , but as a little story of a man going out on a ( self - built ) boat trip with his lovely wife and two children and finding the trip doomed , i found it very enjoyable . visually it looks good , especially the rotating interior of the boat , or the shot with buster sitting at the rear end of the boat against a dark backdrop and slowly sinking with it . loved to see buster with sybil seely again , they make a beautiful couple , and i like the domestic scenes inside the boat . but . . . i didn ' t get the damfino gag . i pretty much had figured out the meaning had something to do with damn but since english is not my mother tongue , i had to look it up .

" we waste our money , so you don ' t have to . "

keaton plays a married father of two young boys . he proudly builds a boat in his basement for his family to vacation on . he names it damfino . of course it is too big to get out of the door but keaton gets it out none - the - less . after rescuing his sons a couple of times he eventually gets the boat to float in the water . some low bridges cause some problems but they eventually get out to sea and start to relax . that is until a storm comes up and sinks his boat .

keaton was the destructive comic . within the first few minutes of this short he has caused his house to collapse ( i wonder how many houses keaton destroyed in his career ? ) and driven his car into the ocean . upon launching , his boat immediately sinks .

his character works because he never loses his famous deadpan expression . even in the middle of a crisis ( usually of his own making ) keaton never seems worried or upset . he takes everything life throws his way with a grain of salt . only keaton would go topside on a boat at night in the middle of a raging tempest using only a lit candle for illumination .

i liked the use of the bathtub as a lifeboat and i agree that the ending is quite funny . the boat still has the ability to induce laughs nearly a century after it was made . such is the art of buster keaton .

buster keaton watches his dreams of boat ownership go down the drain in the boat .

this is probably my favorite buster keaton short that i ' ve yet seen . the simple plot device of giving him a family actually humanizes the great stone face . where normally he comes across as a simple cartoon character , by making him a husband and a father , it made me feel more for him .

there are a plethora of sight gags scattered throughout this short . i laughed at the floating anchor because it took me by surprise . likewise when he had the genius idea of nailing a picture to the hull of the boat . and like you patrick i wondered just how many houses and cars keaton must have destroyed over his career . insurance agents must have cried themselves to sleep when they heard he was coming .

what really makes keaton ' s character so winning here is that he ' s just so indomitable . no matter what goes wrong with the boat , he just keeps going . he ' s determined to get that boat in the water and for his family to have a trip out to sea , no matter what it costs . the house gets destroyed , the car goes into the bay and the ship hits a storm , but keaton will not be stopped . he reminded me a bit ( or i guess that should be the other way around ) of chevy chase in national lampoon ' s vacation .

was this the best keaton short ? damn if i know , but it ' s one of my favorites .

thorndike’s professional debut of 1904 in a production by ben greet marked the beginning of a stage career that was to span six decades . she toured america with greet for two years and by 1907 had played 112 parts . it was good training for her time at the old vic under lilian baylis , who reacted unhappily when thorndike turned up late for rehearsal during a first world war air raid . ‘what’s an air raid when my curtain’s up ! ’ baylis said .

in 1908 thorndike married the actor and director lewis casson ( 1875–1969 ) and worked with george bernard shaw for the first time . following four years at the old vic , she performed in several greek tragedies and grand guignol melodramas before shaw wrote the part of saint joan for her in 1923 .

in a specially extended drawing room on the first floor of number 6 , thorndike rehearsed her many parts , most notably st joan , which she performed regularly from 1924 – when it opened at the new theatre – until 1941 .

three of keaton’s classic short films featuring breathtaking stunts and feats of visual trickery , which never lose sight of slapstick cinema’s primary objective : laughter .

there are escapades a - plenty when a photography mishap causes buster to be mistaken for bad guy dead shot dan . can buster’s disguises and quick - thinking elude the the local police chief ?

buster accidentally gets in trouble with the whole los angeles police department leading to a huge chase through the city with involving hundreds of police officers .

buster ' s handmade boat , the damfino , is finished and is , of course , too large to get through the basement door . when he drives off with it in tow , the side of his house , then the whole thing , collapses . at the harbor he rides the boat out only to have it sink beneath him . the rest is a series of adventures he and his family have with the restored boat .

i guess it was inevitable , my first keaton rewatch in this endeavour . i enjoyed this viewing of the boat just as much as i did the first time round . its a short where the humour derives from a succession of disasters befalling keaton . to me it feels like a forerunner of films like national lampoons or planes , trains and automobiles .

a small boat is a very strange setting for a buster keaton movie . why ? because keaton thrives in spaces , his immense physical ability , his agility and speed should never be confined . it ' s like putting fred astaire in a closet . here he spends most of the time confined . there ' s some good visual jokes mostly at the beginning - buster building the boat inside his house causing the front wall to fall down when trying to take it out . the boat ' s sails collapsing as it passes under a bridge , then springing back up . the rotating boat room is pretty good but i think keaton improved upon the concept in day dreams . i also can ' t shake the fact that keaton has probably ruined his family ' s lives now . no home , no boat , not even a bathtub .

this short closed a series of lloyd , chaplin , and keaton shorts i saw tonight and i was reminded why buster is my guy . fun , creative , wonderfully deadpan , and very few “bonked on the head” gags . ( after five other silent shorts i was pretty sick of seeing “bonked on the head” gags ) .

buster keaton ' s haplessness in the boat is brilliant . really great gags here .

keaton’s kids having his lil hat is the cutest thing out there . this short wasn’t life changing but it was a fun time and the adding of children actually worked really really well

keaton , with kids in tow ( could this be made today ? ) , have an adventure on a boat . the ship ' s name was bugging me because it seemed very odd , but there was a payoff ! it ' s more gags - put - together than a full story , but still enough to make you think this was the original griswold family adventure .

i play fantasy football , and in the league that i ' ve been in the longest , my team name has been damfino . that ' s a reference to this movie where the titular boat is called damfino . there ' s a little shane trivia for you . it ' s also the name used by the international buster keaton society .

what i love about this character is how he can be simultaneously very clever and extremely inept . he ' s got no business taking his family out on a boat…

holy cats that rolling boat set ! not much story to it , but those stunts are just a delight .

a brilliant keaton short that is endlessly creative and goofy . he ' s having fun here starting to play with the intertitles as well . so much fun watching this one !

buster keaton ( multiple characters ) , virginia fox ( twin ) , edward f . cline ( orangutan trainer ) , joe roberts ( actor / stagehand ) , joe murphy ( one of the zouaves )

buster keaton was born of vaudeville . his mother , the former myra edith cutler , and father , joseph hallie keaton—known simply as “joe”—were knockabout comics on the late 19th century’s medicine show circuit . joe and harry houdini—later legendary as the ultimate escape artist and dedicated debunker of spiritualist charlatans—were partners in the mohawk indian medicine company . the traveling show featured houdini’s prestidigitation and the keatons’ raucous physical comedy . keaton , named joseph frank on his birth certificate , always claimed that houdini dubbed him “buster” in 1897 , when the then - two - year - old toddler hurtled head - over - heels down a flight of stairs , rising without a care or a scratch .

the boy was thrown into the keatons’ family act in 1899 . the basic schtick involved the toddler’s disobedience met by the father’s physical violence . the young keaton quickly learned how to fall , roll , take a punch , and , most importantly , keep an outward veneer of calm while suffering intense pain .

after nearly two decades of touring north america , the act broke up because of joe keaton’s drinking . in 1917 , keaton , now 21 years old , met roscoe “fatty” arbuckle , a vaudevillian who had become the most successful comedian in the motion picture business . keaton , on his own since the family act’s dissolution , asked arbuckle if he could borrow a camera to learn how it worked . as legend has it , keaton stayed up all night , disassembling and reassembling the apparatus , until he was certain he understood the magic of movies . history recounts that he returned the camera the next morning and asked arbuckle for a job .

together , arbuckle and keaton made 14 short subjects . arbuckle left in 1920 to begin a brief career in feature films , leaving keaton the sole star of the shorts series . in 1923 , after making 45 other shorts under producer joseph schenck , keaton transitioned to feature - length productions with

the three shorts showing in think slow , act fast come from keaton’s own production unit , buster keaton comedies , and testify to keaton’s uncanny ability to use an engineer’s approach to building comedy .

when the “talkies” came along , keaton’s days as a top box - office draw were numbered . he worked as a gag writer for mgm , he appeared in shorts at columbia and educational , he even went back to the stage . far from forgotten , keaton remained visible in the 1950s and ’60s . he was speedy alka - seltzer’s comic foil in tv spots and print ads for the fizzy cure - all . he was one of many cameos in the epic 1963 comedy

episode . in it , keaton is an ennui - afflicted janitor from the peaceful days of 1890 magically transported to the fabulous future of 1961 , where he finds not utopia , but traffic jams , smog , and noise pollution . the world of the late 19th century is delineated with out - of - tune piano music , title cards , and undercranked camerawork , producing the then - stereotypically “sped - up” look of silent movies .
