RTH you missed Carolina. Total blasphemy

Agreed. 😭

What a haunting melody. It gives me goosebumps. And her voice in that, there's something ethereal about how she sounds in it. ❤️

Agreed. It was perfect for the movie. Also, she sounds very earnest in Carolina and All Too Well.

Red is the blue pill that sends you down the rabbit hole of spending 100k on the 200 vinyl variants 😆

I suck at posting Insta reels/vids on here but Atomonis’ topic indirectly spoke about queer representation in Indian cinema and came across this gem of an interview of Shabana Azmi today. She basically says “if you have to bring change through cinema, it has to happen through mainstream cinema, because that’s what the audiences are watching. When you tackle these issues in independent/parallel cinema/artsy movies, you’re already preaching to the converted” and man I could not agree more!👏and this is exactly why a PC playing a Mary Kom may be problematic on many levels, but i’d still argue she was the right choice.

The push and pull between authentic representation and using mainstream to drive change will always be a catch-22. And I have switched sides on the issue depending on the situation.

I think we need popular actors to take on queer roles in India and make the masses understand. I don't mean to dismiss the opposing voices from queer communities with that. For the long term change - both are needed.

It is Lover for me. The tracks are great. But the album doesn't come together for me. Some of the songs feel Reputation. Some of the songs feel Folklore. And Me! is her weakest single.

I got myself the 5 volumes of MDZS after watching the Untamed . It’s life changing.

India is progressing at a much faster pace than our neighbours in many fields, that is a fact. But I am not ashamed to admit that despite that, we just aren’t there yet with so many things. LGBT acceptance, North East representation/acceptance being two big ones. Long term, the goal should always be authentic representation but we’re not there yet. We need a mainstream actor to bring attention to the topics first, we actually need people to show up in large numbers to the cinema first in order for people to be willing to even have a conversation about it. And why just cinema as a scapegoat? I’ve lost count of the amount of Indo Chinese restaurants i’ve been to in Mumbai that hire North Eastern staff to give it a “Chinese vibe”. Speaking of authentic representation, Axone on Netflix is a decent watch btw.
