(One of the many reasons, teachers became my enemies at IVS, was my act of criticizing two film gods.)
When I was at Indus Valley School Of Arts & Architecture for a brief period of five weeks (yes, I left realizing it would be waste of one year learning crap), I noticed that the teachers forced perfection in filmmaking – angles, camera movement, rule of third, 180 degree rule, continuity… The film has to be just perfect. (This is what I learned).
No problem; good thing. I like that too.
But then it should be applied to all. Teachers should be able to criticize legends’ work too and not get offended when a student does so.
I started watching films by all-time famous filmmakers like Kuberik (he was a psycho), Cappola etc and found some mistakes. (Some mistakes should be allowed. We are all humans, right?) When I pointed out in class discussions – just to make a point…guess what these teachers Zeeshan Haider and Hisham Masood said…”SO WHAT. THEY ARE FAMOUS!” (Hmm…very interesting.)
According to them they are the big names. So, does that mean that they COULD make crap sometimes but not others? Interesting theory…
So I learned, you have to be a big name to produce bullshit.
This explains why in Pakistani media, everything I see, is nothing more than different fantastic modes of time waste.
(Yes, this is one of the many reasons I left Indus Valley School Of Arts.)
