Ram Gopal Varma Question And Answers #35
341. Can a book change the
reader?
Ans: No. But a reader can shut it.
343. Can you publish the
article you have written “The ideas that killed 30 million people”?
Ans: I don’t have a copy as I wrote it 20 years ago. But I will quote a few
passages from it.
The start of the article:
Although the Ideas that nourished the intellectual roots of Adolf Hitler
can be traced back to many a megalomaniacal thought that poured out from a few
German minds of the 19th Century not other man’s thoughts have contributed so
much to the barbaric part of the Nazi mind as those of the philosopher Fredrich
Nietzsche.
The essence of the article:
I quoted from Nietzsche’s “The natural history of morals”.
“The strong men, the masters regain the pure conscience of a beast. They
return from a fearful succession of arson, rape, torture and murder with the
same joy in their hearts and the same contentment in their souls as if they
have indulged in a harmless students rag. When a man is a master by nature and
violent by gesture, of what importance are treaties to him?”
My writing in the article under the above quote:
These words uttered by the most terrible man that has even existed on the
face of the earth as Nietzsche described himself in his autobiography “ecce
homo” had a profound impact on the shaping up of the mind of Hitler and host of
lesser Nazis and in time they would justify such ruthless deeds as the
breaching of the Versailles treaty, the violation of the Hague Convention, the
killing of his own followers in the blood purge of June 1934 and the senseless
massacre of millions in the IInd World War and the brutal torture of Jews in
Auschwitz and other such concentration camps”.
The end of the article:
All things said and done no one can blame Hitler for surprising the world
with his doings because he bared each and every intention of his, years before
he was given the power to do them. Any reader of his autobiography “Mein Kampf”
will have no doubts about that.
344. What compels you to do
something that you did not believe in?
Ans: A little bit of not being sure and lots of dumbness.
345. Why don’t you shoot ur
movie and watch it yourself?
Ans: Why don’t you write your comment and read it yourself?
346. If you are so selfish
can you make a movie without cameraman, assist. Director, choreographer etc?
Ans: If you are so charitable why don’t you give away your pen, internet
and your brain and then try to communicate?
347. Creativity should not
fill your head. Give some space for humanity in your grey cells.
Ans: Pompousness should not fill your head. Give some space for creativity
in your grey cells although I suspect you have none.
348. Satya and Company are
highly superior films. We believe in your genius inspite of Aag.
Ans: Hello. Hello. Hello… if there is one thing I am scared of more than my
haters it’s well-wishers and patronisers like you. That’s because I can so
easily fall a victim to your kind of breed as you guys create a false sense of
security. I beg you and plead to you and request you to chill and see my movies
and read my blog if you feel like it or don’t if you don’t feel like.
I don’t need anybody to tell me how good or how bad I am. If you praise me
beyond what I think of my worth is, I will think you are a fool and if you
praise me below what I think my worth is also I will think you are fool. Nobody
knows me beyond I, me and myself.
Oh my haters! I plead you all to come save me, a self-obsessed megalomaniacal
fuck-all filmmaker from the love of my well-wishers and patronisers.
P.S: I think I have overdone this but what the hell. I was just in the mood
Vaishak.
349. Your movies and
attitude show no sign of positiveness.
Ans: And your views on the same show no sign of positiveness either.
350. What inspires you to
resort to such radical compositions and oblique camera angles?
Ans: Anything and everything are the same to all people. The way one
individual chooses to look at it is what which makes it look different. That is
the way I choose to look at things.
