when the makers themselves dont understand the character
how can we claim to understand the character
its all about perception of a character right...
answer to the blue--@red- I thing the basic answer and the problem ( I say problem bcoz of the numerous debates which come up). Each of relate the stories to certain personal level. Characters are interpreted as how either we would behave in a similar situation or certain beliefs that we hold or if they resemble someone we know in real life or If we have experienced similar situation in real life... oh sunsign, moonsign, astrology, date of birth, numerology...🤣(kidding) to state a few
Since no two individual might have all these in common.. perception varies... We end up liking or disliking a particular situation/character accordingly. Again the reason for reading btwn the lines... or reading more than what was actually intended.. is there anything wrong in that... ermmm nope... hilarious ... again debatable.. if you'vent been in similar situation you (addressing in general) may find it hilarious.. or else you relate to it.
I think both of us agree on that part.
Its like 6 blind men trying to decipher the object (elephant) in front of them.. one says is a wall(body), one says its a brush (tail) etc etc. Each of them is correct in someway.. each of them is wrong in other. We are right coz we think is best that suits us... we are wrong coz we never do think in other's POV. I wanna add .. I would be a hypocrite if I said I consider others POV always. 😆
So those who watch the show for entertainment and not emotionally either never visited the forum or have stopped posting here 😆
Now comes the question of the makers dont understand the characters.Well that could ve been avoided as you stated like in the Korean shows. since the creator himself decides the storyline based on audience response, Channel's response, producer's concerns, trps, other shows other channels, oh and the numeruos number of films that he has watched in the recent times.... the story varies accrdly. LOL
I just remembered the Panchatantra story that i think most of us read in our chilhood. The story with father , son and the donkey. Quick recap of it- They are on a journey to the market. Dad asks the son to ride on the donkey. Passerby critizes son for having made an old man walk. now the Dad rides on the donkey. Another villager critizes him for making a young boy walk. Now both ride on the donkey. yet another villager reproaches them for burdening the donkey. In the end they end up carrying the Donkey. i guess in the end they return back home. i.e. forgot the purpose they started the journey in first place..
So since the storyline itself goes thru numerous opinions an polls the end result is mishap of it all. I think thats the problem I have with the CVs more than butchering a character. my problem... forgetting the basic theme of the show.. basic intention when the characters where created (if any😆)
I hope I didnt go off topic or did I just say what others did...😆😆😆
and abt why we fight it out , decry other's opinion... coz we think we know everything .. we always are right...😕.. I dunno...😕
