Damn and I would say that's Bong Joon Ho's most accessible film. 😆Originally posted by: VintageWine

Is it the content or the way it's shot?
Slumdog Millionaire is a British film though. International festivals and Oscars would definitely help Indian cinema break-out if they were Indian films. Iran's film industry has done it pretty successfully. And now Korea is doing something similar. But that requires vision and writing/directing talent, while KJo's idea of a good film is pretty people dancing in pretty places.Originally posted by: SmittenKitten
While I agree that attending international festivals and winning an Oscar a la Slumdog Millionaire doesn't equate to cross over success, cuz it doesn't really make much of a difference on a bigger scale, I don't trust KJo cuz he's too suss a character for me to accept at face value ... so shade it is. Given how his favorite isn't attending Cannes or anything international at the moment (her Hollywood project nonetheless) while others are, this statement ... the timing of it, is sussss. 🐍
The same guy promoted Cannes 10 years back. There is nobody who will benefit him in this Cannes squad
He goes where the moolah is.
Right now it is the south, he is very smart i will give him that but to be honest he is great at marketing.
He spinned the whole that Baahubali releasing was his idea when he just rode on Anil Thadani aa films.
He was more of a presenter than anything else
Just before KGF was made for pan India, Rajmouli confessed that he loved the shots and visuals and asked Anil Thadani for a pan India release.

Would have KJo spoken so highly of pan Indian cinema and south movies if he wasn't benefitting from being the producer? I don't think so. His opportunistic streak is showing yet again. If tomorrow one of his films that he had produced lands in Oscar pile, he'd scream from the rooftops how it's an accomplishment. He makes sense here but only because it's beneficial to him. Sab chalta jab tak naam or paisa mile.
Moolah matters to him. He will swing in the direction of money.
This!
exactly what I was thinking,
What he means “We should make movies as one Indian film industry because it benefits me”
he will sure do that but Aishwerya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Irrfan, Anupam Kher have done far bigger roles in the west alreadyNext he will say that starring in a Netflix project with Gal and the outlander actor in lead roles is the biggest deal, without batting an eyelid.
