Aryan-Imlie/ AryLie Discussion Thread 25 🧿 - Page 68

Since Atif Bhau likes people to notice his filmmaking, here goes...

I really appreciate that his team's direction style has changed from the choppy, slapstick direction à la Ishqbaaz with constant breakage of the third wall to the more subtle Gul style of narration circa Geet and IPK Even the ridiculous action sequence with Chandlal blowing up was so easy on the eyes with the blue-green colour scheme. It was so subtly done even when the script was so illogical.

Like Wednesday's Arylie scene was so so so significant with Aru lashing out at Imlie's obtuseness, but the camera work was so seamless with the master focusing in through the dimly lit windows. More yellow light for Arylie scenes and less yellow foundation on Aru. The mirror work in Tuesday's scene was such a clever narration technique. They are drawing inspiration from Joe Wright romances a lot— at least I feel so. Rahul is such a great director. ♥️

Their editing is still so miss-and-hit but they work on such tight schedules.

The horrible arm grabbing in control room reminds me of this scene in its composition:

Oh god, was just stalking through the forum and that one clip of P&P makes me want to go and watch the whole film right now 😭 Such amazing cinematography man, this scene especially when she notices Darcy is behind her and then gone, just in the blink of a second and the whole mood of the scene changes. The Gazebo scene when it was raining and Lizzie refuses Darcy, ouff that tension and awareness of each other, I got some vibes of that scene from when AryLie confront each other out the car while drenching in the rain. Such powerful emotions emanating from both the scenes. And another favorite scene of P&P was when Darcy smiles seeing Lizzie and Lizzie smiles in answer and the sunlight hits them on both their faces, peak cinematography it was. Manifesting a close enough scene or anything with similar vibes on AryLie ❤️

Oh nothing. He's a baccha, that's why.

Also because he looks like such a dudebro in his non-Aru avatar.

Also because I rap on all men without exception.

Oh okay, you scared me for a second there, I was waiting for skeletons to come out of the closet😆

Yeah, he definitely gives me those vibes from the little I've seen.

Lol, you think you're bad, people in real life always tell me to shut up when I start venting/complaining abt men.

The rain scene with Arylie takes me everywhere from the Darcy proposal (uff the sexual tension between Matthew and Keira), to Atonement, to Hero, to, as Atif said, Se7en. Really classic sort of cinematography. Drawing from not only from Hollywood but also Asian cinema.

Lately, their night scenes remind me of Wong Kar-Wai and Ang Lee in the way they play with light and shadows. Main bhi Kahan se kahan aa gayi dekho. Maybe it's all in my head.

That's the thing about perceptions, no? Lol.

Nah, he is cute actually.

And takes stands when most people in his position— especially a certain perfect creation of God— don't take those stands. He deserves my respect for that if nothing else.

Plus, y'know, he was talking about his love for cricket in that interview instead of revving up his own acting career. That sort of thing really makes me think of him as a normal dude I can rap, y'know?

You said it all. That AryLie rain scene was everything, I think we draw the parallels because we finally see the conflicts harshly exposed in every scene, like there's no other machinations or manipulations. It is what it is. In AryLie, it was what finally pulled and connected the characters in a distinct way. And damn that chemistry in Pride & Prejudice, that sexual tension was something else. The way Lizzie acutely feels the pull >>> Even though, Darcy had already felt it as evident in the hand clenching scene but still nothing tops that scene. Ahh, Keira Knightley has something for regency films be it Atonement or Pride & Prejudice. Extremely versatile.

Yes, rain actually acts as a classic. Be it fight scenes in Blade Runner, John Wick or exploring the attraction/ love in Kuch Kuch Hota Hain and Wake Up Sid. Its purpose is all serving. Hollywood- Bollywood to World Cinema.

Oh I have no idea about Wong Kar Wai and Ang Lee or their works for that matter. But it sounds so fascinating, will definitely check them out. But no, you are right. The way they are playing with shadows and light these days is soothing to the eyes. Even in the episode where Aryan gets sick, and we see the scenes in his room. The aesthetic really blew my mind that day. The color pallette was on the cool side, blue and white with hints of neutrals like brown and faded gold. Even AryLie's clothes were melding in and it completely set the mood for the scenes ahead. The whole effect was so soothing and light, exactly what should be after the heavy fighting scenes of PD. The way the makers pay attention to these small details despite sometimes messing up the big picture that is the storyline, has me gripped.

Oh, I am sure you have seen Ang Lee because he directed the Emma Thompson- Sense and Sensibility. Wong Kar-wai is this slightly overexposed director after "In the Mood for Love", but he has a top-notch eye for aesthetics. Don't know if anyone on the team watches any Japanese cinema but they should definitely check out Yōjirō Takita and Ōzu, at least.

Ōzu was this master at setting up domestic/Ibsenesque scenes with so much subtlety. For that matter, Sai Paranjpye was so wonderful in setting off romace in the composition of scene:

Something as simple as the camera focusing on a red hibiscus that the heroine absentmindedly put on a white plate laden with well-baked buns.

Here's the hibiscus scene:

Sorry for rattling off. Clearly the pandemic did things to my system that I am watching Gul Khan serials of all things.

Guys I have written a new OS.. Based on Wednesday and friday episode.. Do read and give feedback... 😊

I haven't actually, I am more of a book person rather than a film person or any visual form at that. So the number of films I have seen are rather limited. But I will definitely check them out because I am always up for some stunning cinematography and in my TBR, Sense and Sensibility is next along with The Tempest. So it will definitely be a treat !

Oh since you talked about Japanese Cinema, have you checked out Kurosawa's Rann ? The cinematography was top notch there as well. Of course it was an epic, so the grandiose was also there rather than subtlety but excellent symbolisms and sublime watch. Do check out if you haven't since you seem to have an eye for good cinematography ❤️

Bold : Completely understandable and relatable. Trust me, I have been asking the same question to myself each day. The way I am invested in this ship is totally going to drown me soon. 🤦🏻‍♀️
