Therein lies the beauty of the film. The way in which he went about holding a mirror to give us a glimpse of our beliefs about God as a human being. The alien was just a means to convey his msg. It was not a sci-fi movie.
Again, I agree,... but then again, he should had hold also a Christian Father, and Moslem Mullahs, and not only the Hindu Mahunt,...
All beliefs are equally wrong,. Whether Hindu religion says,.. that after death a vast river Vaitarni is coming to cross in your way and Nandini ( female Bull ) will help you only if you had good deeds in credit,... Or a mullah says,.. 72 virgins / allah ko pyaari hai kurbaani hence, slaughter a goat or hurt yrself bloodily in Moharrum ,.. ( Deh-daman ki activities ) or Hindu sadhu explain sthe virtues of walking on an angaar ( burning char-coal-fire ) ,... Meditation is also a Deh-daman, ( self-torture / Body torture ).. by not eating/drinking,.. Or Christian Priest says,.. since, Jesus assured that he will shoulder all the sins and will help only the Christians to take them into heaven on his own shoulder,.. a white knight ride will come,.. yada yada,.. How about the suicide thought process from an alien mind,.. point-of-view? How about mummy ( Egyptian deads ) of saving the deads in their coffins with jewels, with a hope, that they wake up, some day !
Sau baar Mantra-jaap karke ( 30 namah sivaay / gaayatri mantra ) kar ke, Time, Money and Energy waste karna,..
Maala rotate kar ke, ...Time, Money and Energy waste karna,..
Mandeer/ Makbara / Kaaba ke round-round chakar laga ke,...Time, Money and energy waste karna,..
Paidal, chaar-dhaam ki yatra karna,.. ya fir,... Jesus waala heavy cross le kar chalna,..
Ghee ke diye jalaa kar,.. khaane ki cheez ka waste karna,...
Infant bachhe ko chaar maal ki iimarat se giraa kar,... neeche,... dharm-guru/ Maulaalna dwara catch karwaana !
Bhoot-Pret , Sati-Pratha and Faansi / execution,...Re-birth Beliefs, Judgement day, Chitragupt ka chopda,... Hell / Heaven up their - belief systems,.. Monstors / Metrmaids / God / Ghost,... opens an another dimension,.. as we do not know which element dies here, which escapes,.. ( after execution, is it fair ? ) and what not ! What would be an alien's approach, towards all these?
List goes unended,... Any explation about Right or Wrong,.. from an Alien vision POV ?
By the way,... what and how far the importance of "Death",... It would/should be,. from an Alien, point-of-view... Since, Alien is the tribe, from a planet, galaxy far away ( traveling at the speed of light ) which somehow is from an outer galaxy, that had the formation million more yrs ago than earth and hence so far advanced in sci-tech,.. arena and,.. also biologically,. and genetically,..
Say,.. in this movie Sanjay Dutt dies, and Alien says,... " So What ? Oh ! wait,. Just a minute,.. and he grabs some DNA sample from his skin cells,.. he gets back to his flying saucer laboratory,... and due to some instant high-growth, genetic, biological Clone techniques,. and combined with,.. ( like we raise and breed few Hens and chickens,. Very fast,.. ) likewise,.. he goes into his flying saucer,.. and in 5 minutes you see,... 10+ more young Sanjay dutt standing,.. already,.. fast grown up and clones of the one, who just died,... ( naked though ! ) . ( Like, we are still struggling to bring Dinosaurs back on the Earth, from their Bone's DNA ) Then ? What if, that alien was here with a purpose/aim-mission of stealing the powerful genes samples and cells- Blood DNAs of our Tigers, lions and elephant, Whales and crocodiles,..to produce a stronger Universal tribe, ever,..in the entire universe ! Will story had gone more interesting, then ?
On a highly populated Blue planet, where the most intelligent spices' population is the highests among similar similar mass other troibe's population and still SEX is still a tabboo, like Acharya Rajneesh used to say in all of his tape,.. Sex is not done or discussed openly and that's why all the cars are shown vibrating in teh movies,. from where aamir khan gets his free stolen clothes,..!!
Agree that, for any stock market ,.. Greed and Fear are the only two factors which drives the market, and similarly these so call God messengers / Prophets and religious leaders are using the same cards,..taking advantage of the orthodox people and steering then in any which direction they want,... by playing these two two cards of Greed and fear,.. under the label of God !
There are tons of such things he should had portrayed in this movie,.. and the outcome would be only that, the movie had gone violent and under extreme ban,..
There had a movie of Jitendra 32+ yrs ago,.. which had gone under the ban for the same religious reasons.,.. woh swarg mein jaa kar bagaawat karta hai,.. Remember ?
