The videos are awesome.
Simply breathtaking, and awe-inspiring, if not totally inspirational
for those of us who do not know how to have proper fun. The
cinematography and choreography is exquisite, so is the script.
(Well, I tend to forget that it is thoroughly impromptu and entirely unscripted!)
The dialogues and one-liners are the best I have heard so far. The brilliance outshines Al Pacino in Scarface, where he is reputed to have uttered F-word a 223 times , that is a one every 1.30 minutes (source: IMBD).
I find it futile to mention the hip hop songs and movies where profanity is the basis of the entire song or the script ( No offense to hip hop fans) as I am not well informed about the genre. But I like the songs! Catchy tunes they have, and one even recieved an Oscar for the best original song for Hustle and Flow (2006). I once quipped that such songs are being nominated and are winning the Oscars, and one avid fan riposted, SO? What is wrong with that? None, I guess. It is art nonethless. It is creativity. A nude painted by Monet or Da Vinci would be still be an art, and not pornography.
I donot have second thoughts about that one. But I do have second thoughts about such lewd acts being publicly exhibited, and its impact upon the growing generation. I get an occasional glances from such teenagers, and they slouch when they walk and speak with utmost disrespect, and oftentimes, profusely using N- words and F-words. Their pants almost around their ankles, and the blatant disrespect for things does make me feel awkward, but what can I say? Freedom of speech!! Freedom of expression!! This is America, where everyone mind their own f**ng business.
Civilized. Uncouth. What is the degree of variation? None! Or many, per say!! Let me stay on the subject at hand.
I went through the comments posted on the youtube page, and the first comment was ""looks funny"...and then follows " you give Nepalese bad name" by some, and finally I find the post-er retaliate with "watever" and a bunch of profanity laced "mind your own business" . I am profoundly muddled, upon the perception of mixed opinions, and responses. There, I found the degree of variation, nonethless, is still a state of mind, and opined in various states of mind.
The people in the video (nothing personal!) are a bunch of lively and vivacious students or professionals. And in such an auspicious occasion of Dashain (as it was posted under, and yet all we hear is Budday!!), they are letting their hair loose (literally!) and trying to have some fun, away from the hectic schedules of work and school they might be undergoing. Labelling them villagers is only an insult to your own intellect, and arguing about the width and girth of the matter will only leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. It is not about being "khepa" or a villager or an urbanite. It is about how you carry your gait gracefully and urbanely. The steps you take to make those impression gives you the character.
Profanity. In total of 15 some-minutes of the footage, there is fun, vivacity, happiness, liveliness, celebrtion, and uh! of course profanity. What are the norms of acceptibility of profanity? We cannot set a standard or bar, nor can we judge a person by just the way he speaks. He might be a wonderful person, for all we know, and that is all we know what we see. The visceral utterance of genitals and lewd acts, especially in public or for people to see, can only portray the person's way of thinking. If you are a psychology major, or some shrink-sort of professional, you could very well parse the words and intentions behind them. Or not!
Flaunt. The video clips are posted in YOUTUBE for all of us to see. I wonder what the post-er wanted us to see. The fun they had, or the fun they are having for showing the fun they had. A little hazy, it makes me!! And then, there is a ubiquitious statement, "Donot watch if you donot like it!!" Ah! Grow up people ( for whoever say that particualr statement).
PostScript: I intend to offend such people, who in the name of freedom of speech and freedom of having rights to have freedom to have fun, make such blatant and disrespectful episodes. There is nothing wrong with you running naked around in your own confines, but when you streak, think of the rabid dogs who might be chasing you in the false hope of glory, or some fresh meat! Nonetheless, I intend to offend those people too, who just plain stereotype people, thus rendering a general misconception about people and their heritage. It is all about respect you show and feel for people, and the actions that make it seem a truer experience.
PostScript 2: To the GUYS in the video. Homies!! ya'all having fun. Keep it up. But we do not need to see you guys having fun. Especially, when you want to show us.Not that you guys posted it in Sajha, but you did post in the youtube. So, that makes it quintessentially a similar thing. But to be honest, I enjoyed your video. It is thouroughly entertaining, and subjectively informative. Other than that, piss all your want, after all, it is your bucket.:) Have Fun!!
PostScript 3: I do sound condescending and condoning at the same time, aren't I? Told ya!! We all are hypocrites and ambiguous. Pour Quoi Pas?
