Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Very interesting! Whenever I used to watch Superman, Batman, Matrix, current TV favorite called Heroes, I always saw how Western filmmakers can take totally irrational and absurd ideas to make a very highly successful film. Harry Potter is the best example of the most absurd idea (western concept of witches and black magic) woven into a very successful book and then a film! Lord of the Rings is another. I mean, we all know a Human cannot fly. Yet Superman sells! You look at Heroes and you'll see every character has got some special power, which is impossible in the rational world of humans. Yet, not only do these sell, but people dont even comment that such a trait is possible! Yet, our own beliefs about gods who can fly, who can have any kind of form have been derided by many. I think that making an animation film about Murugan is a terrific idea! If it is produced and directed slickly, the script is done professionally, it can hit the box office! (I saw the TV serial called Baal Hanuman. The animations were very good, more like Disney style, but I wish the dialogues and direction were better) Vijaya Padma's is a great idea. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I believe, there is no such thing called as fiction. Our imagination is nothing but what the soul feels travelling beyond time and beyond earth. Super Man, Spider Man, Lord of Rings , Harry Potter etc are written by the mind that is able to recollect and visualize but fail to hold the exact situations. Garuda is a bird man. Pretty much all Gandharva's are super men. I wont attribute Gods or even the Deva's to superman or spiderman etc, they are much more superior to the Super man theory. A super man for Krypton (our superman - Mr.Kent in Krypton will be just another being) could be termed close enough to Hanuman, just because the Avatar was designed so. Well, as anything in spiritualism, this could sound outrageous, but think and correlate, you may find traces. Be it, horcruxes of Voldemort or the Eye of Sauron, I believe they all exist, somewhere in some astral or physical world, we can only fictionalize. -- Ravi dhandapani , Patricia Jay <patriciajay2000 wrote: > > Very interesting!
