I don't know what I just watched ... I swear when Krishna was narrating the negative events that Bhishma, Drona, Dury, and co did to the Pandavas and Panchaali, and Arjun was like I want to kill them ... I thought that the Gita has been saved by Starization. I was wrong.
Welcome to the family StarGita.
Now some serious questions:
1. What is the ground made up of?
It looks like sand from every angle. When Arjun drops his bow when he is surrendering to Madhav, some grains of sand fly up into the air. But when the camera has a top shot looking down on Arjun, the ground is wetter and more dirty than sandy.
2. I think I understand why Krishna is on the Pandavas side -- they are the ones with the new dharma which overpowers the fact that they have dharma and adharma on their side (or they hold it or something).
3. Why is StarKrishna so mean?
I get in the Gita that Krishna initially mocks Arjun because of his sudden change in attitude, but was he pissed off as the CVs portray him to be. It's like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and until the light shines on him, he is pretty mean.
4. What's with the light at the end? It falls from the sky which per whatever I've seen relating to that is when someone is receiving enlightenment from God. There are people who believe that Krishna, while speaking the Gita, was no longer Krishna. Some people believe "time" or "Kaal" entered Krishna and spoke through Krishna (which I don't get) but this particular scene reminds me of this because Krishna just randomly changes from a condescending tone to a friendly tone.
I'll say this much -- if I was younger, I would enjoy watching this Gita scene from StarBharat. Back when I was a kid, I never enjoyed watching the Gita scenes from BRC because it was "boring' to me ... but I can see younger people watching this and enjoying this ... hopefully that ends up being a good thing, but my expectations are such that I see it as a bad thing.
