Just Watched Amitabh's Deewar For The First Time
Just watched Amitabh's Deewar for the first time, I am surprised I had not seen it already.
Amitabh Bachchan: Deewar
I mean, I don't believe this. I grew up watching this dude. I am his evergreen fan. I don't think I have ever watched a full Paul Newman movie, and if I did I probably watched it when I had no idea who he was, maybe I have watched one, but I don't remember, but I have seen Americans revere Paul Newman. And recently I left a comment at TechCrunch.
Lincoln is like Gandhi. Paul Newsman is like Amitabh Bachchan, correct?
Deewar was Amitabh's first hit. Otherwise he had been struggling in the industry for years, he had given flop after flop. And this movie became a super hit and he never looked back. He has ruled Bollywood for three and a half decades since.
You should watch it. They have put the full movie on YouTube and it comes with English subtitles.
I mean, how did I miss it? I have known the storyline forever, I have known the name forever. I have known its famous lines forever. Beats me.
Amitabh is not only the most amazing actor that ever lived, he is also an amazing human being, and the two perhaps go together. He is the most recognized face on the planet, and don't think it is because India has a lot of people. China has more. People watch him across Africa, in Russia, you name it. The most famous person on the planet handles fame better than anyone else I know. And he is the ultimate family man. His wife Jaya was a big shot actress in the industry when he was a struggling actor. I happen to think she is a better actor than him in the early movies they did together.
Here are some other full length Amitabh movies I found on YouTube. There must be more.

I have not seen these last two, Ek Ajnabee, and Shoot Out At Lokhandwala, which I am proceeding to do right now.

Music is an integral part of our lives, our being and our existence, irrespective of what the others may have to say on the subject. It lifts, cajoles, caresses, envelopes you in a bind which never leaves you. A piece heard at an impressionable age remains with you for a life time. Music and song collectively is a force, which has serious physical ramifications. We have heard of the great Tansen stories and the effect his music had on weather conditions. We have seen strong and sharp classical music notes and chords, demolish glass and shatter it to pieces. We have seen and heard the power of religion when it encompasses the rituals that connect it to sound. The prayer meetings of different faiths - the ‘bhajans’ the ‘azaan’ and the hymns bring a feel of religiosity. Strengthening belief with its repeated recitation. The Gods are pleased it seems when they are sung to. Music has the power to impress them to. And of course I miss mentioning the singing of Anthems and the fervor of patriotism it invokes. Your own anthem of your own country does something to us. It instills in us a sense of belonging. This is my land, my country, my flag and my anthem. I belong to it, and it belongs to me. That is a lot to be said about any other music heard.
There is that other little matter of football and the singing crowds and the belief that the energy of collective singing shall most certainly move mountains, or least of all a goal in favor of your home team. The beauty of all this being that the singing invariably gets carried along from the playing field to the nearest bar for most of the day. Sometimes many days !! And when it does it may not all turn out to be pleasant.
So …. melody ! And the strange effect it has on our psych irrespective of age and place and moment .. !!
