Why is Raj Kapoor is so famous in Russia?

 Why was Bollywood icon Raj Kapoor so popular in Russia?

The answer to this question was unexpectedly given by an old Russian lady who said it was the optimism of the charismatic actor that inspired them to brave through hard times. "In the early fifties, just after the devastating war with Germany, the country was still in ruins we were poor and our life was full of privations and shortages," said the old lady during 'Retrospective of Raj Kapoor films' organised in the provincial city of Tver, 200 km from here. His film Awaara – dubbed in Russian and released as Brodiaga (or, the Vagabond) – became hugely popular. The title song became a rage, greeting not just Indian visitors to the country but also played at official banquets. Awaara was the first Hindi film to be successful in Russia and along with Shri 420 firmly cemented his reputation. But when we saw greater hardships being faced by the poor from the country (India) with a smile, it gave us optimism.

So after watching Awara and Shri 420, Raj Kapoor became a symbol of optimism for the Soviet people, she added. Even prominent figures like ex-President Boris Yeltsin and powerful Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov could be heard humming Awara hoon song from the first Indian movie ever shown behind the Iron curtain. According to project coordinator Ludmila Sekacheva, there is immense interest in Indian films in Russia, because they share common spiritual values. "Every Indian movie gives the message of 'victory of good over evil'. This is the yearning of every Russian soul," Sekacheva said. Bollywood movies are also a source of optimism for the younger generation of Russians and they take inspiration from their Indian counterpart's life shown in the films. "Bollywood movies show the inherent challenges and opportunities of the market economy for youth, of which we were not aware of in our Soviet-era childhood," a 28-year-old office worker Lena said.

What is the origin of famous movie monsters?

 Artist H.R. Giger, born in 1940, was plagued by terrifyingly vivid nightmares that made even the worst Black Mirror episodes seem like Disney movies in comparison.

His art was his outlet, a way to cope with and express himself.

His art featured recurring themes of blurring the boundaries between organic and inorganic, human and machine, and life and death. In many ways, his biomechanics concepts were remarkably prescient and would appear repeatedly in the science fiction genre.

The ghost of a living, dying robot that haunted him in his dreams became a terrifyingly powerful muse.

In the late 1970s, Ridley Scott was looking for an artist to design the monsters and spaceships for the next Alien series.

When Ridley Scott presented his chosen artists to the management of 20th Century Fox, they were initially stunned. They were concerned that this was a massively budgeted film, and that adapting Giger's unsettling art into a movie might be too much for conventional audiences.

Scott moved forward with a bold vision, insisting that it had to be Giger, that Giger was the man. Ultimately, he was fortunate enough to win.

Giger began drawing art for future alien Xenomorphs and spaceship designs.

And eventually, this art began to be directly translated into final products.

What are some of the strangest facts about famous movies?

Saving Private Ryan, is one of those war movies, which doesn’t glorify war. Instead it shows us the war, as it is. It shows us, how the bravest of the people, shudder, when a machine gun, stationed atop, sprays bullets at them.

But the brilliance of this movie comes out in this one particular scene.

This is just after the Americans penetrate the German defenses and move forward.

In this scene, two Nazi soldiers, drop their arms and try surrendering to these two American soldiers.

But instead, the Americans shoot them, after yelling ‘What ? What ? I am sorry, I can’t understand you’

Now, the master touch to this scene is that these two soldiers were NOT GERMANS.

What they were actually saying was “We are not German, we are Czech !”.

This is indeed a fact that many Czech POWs (Prisoners of War) were forcefully enlisted in the Nazi Army for aiding the war effort.

This scene without even making it evident, truly justifies the saying that
“
When two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers”.
