Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is the story of the Hindu God Shiva, also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with Sati. Sati who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, a staunch Vishnu devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the yajna of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces Virabhadra, who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into Shakti Peethas, embodiments of the power of the Goddess Adi Shakti.
Sati is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, Ganga. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage Dadhichi, who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
Shiva and Parvati give birth to Kartikeya, who slays the demon Tarakasura and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by Meenakshi and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of Tripura, belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.
After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord Indra (the King of Devas) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi Durvasa gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as prasadam. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, Airavata to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King Bali attacks heaven and in attempt to steal Amrita (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the Ocean of milk. To get the Amrit back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the Amrita and to share it among them.
The churning of the ocean, known as Samudra Manthan is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord Vishnu also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, Kurma.
The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as Halahala. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the Amrita secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.
The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of Senapati(head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
Looking at the ill happening of the world, of how Ahalya is seduced by Indra, Mahadev come indside. Even after Mahadev tells that he is his father and many other gods tried to tell him, he still refuses. Mahadev got angry and cut Vinayak's head.
【A】开场便让我欲罢不能,通过台词与剪辑制造的行为反差/思想对立来营造能量,该手段反复而密集的使用,却从不让人感到厌烦。于是情绪在电影标题出来之前都从未止歇,裹挟着超凡的气势冲向第一个高潮。接下来的段落里,剪辑依旧是不弱于剧本的存在,事件的再现/回忆/叙述,多视角台词的重复/反差,观感逐层提升,情绪随之激昂。尽管匠气而工整,却依然有效。个人观点是,不该拒绝这样一部以编剧为主导的「辩论电影」,哪怕高超的剪辑与精致的文本依旧无法掩盖摄影调度上的平庸。但观点与口号仍然具有价值,既然有赋予画面多义性的必要,那也必然有定义画面唯一性的选择,尤其是这样一个时代,此种观点更值得被呐喊。
牛逼的剧本,索金宝刀未老,插叙的剪辑看的太爽。配以当今2020的各种时食格局,实在是沉浸代入体验感1w倍
开篇一段剪辑凌厉,不了解这段历史的观众需自行查阅补充背景,中间利用庭审来逐段还原事件的真面目,但索金的意图明显不是深挖而是借古喻今。前半段法庭戏好似疲于奔命的美剧,后半段金句频出,可惜全都是浮于表面的论述,大概索金还是驾驭不了如此宏大的叙事。只能说今时今日回顾这段历史的意义肯定大于索金拍出来的意义。
好难得把一场审判拍的没有很无聊。但N记电影通病还是…创意高,拍摄诡异…看着真难受。
Very well orchestrated, 但是太 煽 了。这样的剧本,如果对它有满分的信念,又为什么要剪辑和音乐助力呢。
完全可以想象一部分日常唾骂XX的人,在看完这部片后的高潮状态。六十年代特殊时期背景下的特殊案件,放在当下看,本质上也不过是另一种政体下模式化的洗脑片。不喜欢的原因在于,创作视角极其狭隘,对于事件本身并没有全角度的客观呈现,而是带着鲜明的主观立场,对政客和公检法系统中的部分败类极尽刻画,来强调放大这场政治审判的无耻,来宣扬抵抗主义的英勇,来高唱自由民主的赞歌。再说影片本身,除开头一段略惊艳外,形式框架中规中矩,密集的语言输出犹如子弹,对话中穿插回溯拼凑完整故事线,都是导演的惯用套路。整体上只能说是部还不错的政治作业,但完全算不上什么特别佳作。顺便,通过这部电影也完全可以了解,为什么在某些国家或地方的某些人对警察的印象会如此负面了…
于漫漫黑夜中,绝望无尽处,看到光,那是人性中的“善”,总有希望,总有温暖。
艾伦索金的剧作技术太恐怖了,但私以为这部片子应该在此基础上有更精致深沉的影像设计以及一个更独道的导演灵魂。
索金目前的两部导演作品都是看完Act 3冲动多打一星。这里的剧本是加分项,但是如果给芬奇这类导演拍,原封照着剧本拍也是4星,if that make any sense...可能最合适还是拍成mini-series。以及雀斑选角好灾难...
我也不费劲写了,就看这页面还能存在几天吧。
political trial的论点很有趣。扣一是去看了原本事件的页面,只能说电影完整还原了,并没有太大的发挥空间。
我记得第一次看是在第一次艺考的那个冬天看的现场盗摄版,北京下了初雪,我躲在被窝里看这部剧,心里充满了对舞台的向往,然后情不自禁地流泪,至今我仍然觉得小成本音乐剧的成功典范就应该参考它,绝妙。
2001.9.11五角大楼事件后,美国暂时关闭了领空,数百架正在飞往美国领土的飞机被迫降落在世界各个角落的机场,而在加拿大一个无人问津的小岛突然间变成了38架飞机、7000位来自世界各地飞往美国的旅客的避难所。它接纳了母亲、孩子、同性恋者、不同宗教、不同国籍、猫猫狗狗、甚至还有大猩猩。小镇倾其所有,帮助人们度过了风云莫测的五天。
看看人家
没条件去看现场的穷人表示这部音乐剧光是bootleg就已经超好看了,默默希望百老汇/伦敦西区音乐剧放出官摄变成常态,为了不影响档期卖票完全可以延后几年再放出来,那些超珍贵的OBC摄影只存起来真的是太可惜了~
幽默又好看。在充满恐惧与愤怒的几周里,很难得的笑了出来。
They say no man's an island, but an island makes a man.
8.0 索金就像电影中那些接受审判的活动家们,他以文本的力量纪录着一切的不堪与罪恶,及其夹缝之间片歇许美丽,描绘出了六十年代复杂又混乱的派系,尤其是对嬉皮士改观了不少;同时这也是警示着当下的世界政坛,那些偏见与错误又在卷土重来。即使影像调度再平庸,群像表演层次不齐,有这样的剧本力度也就可以渲染出无限的情绪了,而且也能看出索金从他合作过的那些导演中偷学了不少剪辑,也致使最终的结果也是足以振奋人心的,在震耳欲聋的“whole world's watching”口号中加入这场未尽的斗争。(查了下wiki,发现Tom Hayden居然是Jane Fonda的前夫,感觉破次元壁了。)
很喜欢这些纽芬兰人们 很喜欢女机长的故事 很希望有机会看现场
看过艾伦·索金最不好看的作品,作为剧作家成名的艾伦在本片中少了以往的犀利和讽刺。除了马克·里朗斯和弗兰克·兰格拉的表演,其他演员都显得尴尬、做作,感觉有种历史传记的大包袱驼在身上。除了噱头和煽动反抗情绪,不知道这部影片还有什么作用。
