[Maqbool Hindi Movie In 720p Download
Virginie Fayad
Fidelity is an interesting concept, does retaining more from the original work make something more valuable? One example I always think of when thinking about adaptation and Fidelity is Harry Potter. The first two films follow the book almost exactly, but are they the best films? No! The third is, and it cuts out from the book than the first two films did. So does Fidelity really matter? Could Maqbool have been more different from the original work and still have been a good film?
You posed a very interesting question regarding whether remakes or originals have more credibility or appeal. In modern day society many people are attracted to remakes because of the familiarity aspect. People tend to stick with what they know. With ticket prices varying in the $10-$15 range, not many people are thrilled by the idea of paying to sit through a 90 minute movie that they might not enjoy. Personally, I am more impressed by films that are not derived from popular novels or plays. I think there is more creativity and imagination involved in the process when they start out from scratch. Remakes are able to rely on this cushion of popularity whereas originals are not able to. While there is a common structure or format that most films follow, there is still a higher degree of effort involved when directors are not translating a novel into a film in my opinion.
Nick, definitely an interesting topic you bring up in this post. Honestly, my reaction to maqbool was that part of the reason it succeeds is because it is an adaptation of shakespeare which is really unique for Bollywood. I think if I had watched the film not knowing it was an adaptation, I still would have enjoyed the film, but it wouldnt have hit me in the same way because I would have viewed it as a recognizable take on the mobster movie genre. Instead, by taking a public domain, well known story and placing it into a world we really dont understand, the story becomes that much more captivating. As I was watching, however, I couldnt stop thinking about slumdog millionaire, an original work, which is so far superior in every way because it dared to tell an original story and be different. Just my personal opinion. Your point about Harry Potter and movie 3 being your favorite because it dared to diverge from the actual book is interesting. I personally liked the Yates films better, but the direction/pacing of movie 3, directed by Cuaron, is definitely the best aesthetically and really feels the most unique in the whole series. It is the best FILM, of the series, but it is not my favorite.
