Ram Gopal Varma Question And Answers #48
I missed 401 to 410 and 471 to 480. So I am publishing those RGV
QNA here. Remaining will be continued as earlier.
471. Ayn Rand is ashamed of
you.
Ans: Oh! ……. When did
you die?
472. I want to kiss you Ramu.
Ans: I only believe in
kissing and not in being kissed.
473. What is your advice to budding directors?
Ans: To understand
that the onus is on you to get a film and not on someone else to give it to
you.
474. What if Spielberg directed Godfather and Coppola directed JAWS?
Ans: That’s a mighty
interesting thought. It’s not so much about the genre but considering their
highly different world views obviously they would be highly different films but
I think they would be lesser than what they are now.
475. Is it possible to engage the audience in a film without
background score?
Ans: of course. The
earliest example I have known of this is The Exorcist. Inspite of it being a
horror film, a genre which almost depends on background score, it had very
little of it. And of course there is the Blair Witch Project which had none.
476. With all your understanding can you not hate a snake which is
about to bite you?
Ans: I would run from
it or jump over it or kill it or in case of not being able to do any of the
above I would prepare for a post-bite scenario but I would never never hate it.
That’s because both love and hate are highly destructive feelings. They are
like drugs which will make you feel high for the moment and then just when you
are not looking throw you into a never ending abyss of complexities.
477. Ayn Rand said, “I will not die. The world will end”.
Ans: Schopenhauer
said, “If you close your eyes the world will cease to exist”.
478. I wish you come out of the shell of Rand and Nietzsche and get
into the shoes of Chanakya.
Ans: I wish the reverse
for you.
479. Do you think prostitution is a sin/crime?
Ans: I detest prostitution because it vilifies the sacredness of sex.
480. Your Telugu horror film Deyyam looks like a B-grade Ramsay film.
Have you transformed yourself from Deyyam to Bhoot?
Ans: Transformation
comes partly from experience and mostly from intent. I can’t believe that the
director of AVATAR could have ever made a film like “Piranha II”.
