INSIDE OUT (English Animation Film) and KILLA (Marathi Feature Film) - Similar themes but distinctive perspectives. (An overview by Bobby Sing) |
Friends having personal experience would readily agree that one of the most difficult times around the years of adolescence begins when a child’s parents decide to shift to another town due to some personal or professional reasons opening many new chapters of life for every individual member of the family in just few days. There are unknown surroundings to adjust with, new people to deal, unexpected arrangements to handle and a new life style to be adapted as per the changed scenario. The sudden twist does bring its own shares of joy and pain for all simultaneously, but it’s actually the child who has to suffer the most in those tender years of growth joining a new school, meeting all stranger classmates and then making fresh friends, causing a substantial amount of change in his or her personal character.
Interestingly we had two widely acclaimed films released in the last few weeks coming from completely contrasting regions and mindsets, dealing with the same theme mentioned above tackled differently. And these two releases were INSIDE OUT, an English animation film made with a splendid idea and KILLA, an Indian Marathi feature film winning the National Award.
Now in both these films we have a young child of the family, finding himself/herself in an unfamiliar city, a new home, joining a new school with all unknown kids around to deal with. The feeling of loneliness is the only friend they find walking along as a constant companion and the stories revolve around how the kids fight with their own undisclosed trauma and how parents decide to go back instead of continuing with the difficulties faced in the new city. Here though the movies remain completely different products on creative grounds made with entirely unrelated visions, it’s the interconnection of expressing the same scenario from two different perspectives that gave me the idea of writing this particular piece.
As a magnificent take on the fictional conversations between the five emotions, INSIDE OUT displays an exceptional understanding of how ‘brain-mechanism’ probably works dealing with the past and the present memories stored suitably, whereas KILLA takes you onto an emotional journey of the child with an eye catching cinematography capturing many striking natural locations also dealing with the corruption faced by the mother in her new office.
