Welcome to my blog,This blog is inspired by the screening of the 2005 movie "Black," directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The screening was organized in the context of R.K. Narayan's well-known pre-independence short story "Crime and Punishment.”
About the movie:
Movie :- "Black" Released in 2005Director :- Sanjay leela Bhansali In 2003, Bhansali announced the production of his new project, Black.
Story of movie :
"Black" is a film that portrays the life of Michelle, a girl who is both deaf and blind, living in a world devoid of light and sound. Her life is dominated by anger and frustration, and her parents, struggling to cope with her disabilities, often respond harshly. Michelle lost her sight and hearing at the age of two due to an illness, leaving her with minimal means of communication. Her childhood is characterized by frustration and an inability to control her emotions.
Everything changes when Mr. Debraj, a strict yet compassionate teacher, comes into her life. Through innovative methods, he teaches her to communicate through touch, transforming her isolated world into one of understanding and connection. Slowly, Michelle begins to learn, experience emotions, and find hope.
Mr. Debraj becomes more than just a teacher to Michelle; he becomes her mentor and friend. He inspires her to dream big and helps her overcome the many challenges she encounters. As she learns to read, write, and even paint, their bond grows stronger.
However, their journey takes a difficult turn when Mr. Debraj ages and falls ill, leading Michelle to take on the role of his caregiver. This reversal of roles highlights the deep connection they share. Despite facing numerous challenges, Michelle remains resilient, embodying the remarkable strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of education.
"Black" is a story of hope, courage, and the enduring relationship between a teacher and his student.
The movie starts by showing Debraj's lost life through words, with light and a window symbolizing the hope that comes with Michael's arrival.
In Michelle's journey to learn, she is guided by a teacher named Mr. Sahai, who is shown as the perfect teacher. He is someone who always tries to bring out the best in his students, even if it means making sacrifices.
Mr. Sahai teaches not for personal benefit but because he deeply cares. He is like a lamp that gives light and hope, even though he faces his own struggles. Despite the challenges, Mr. Sahai works hard to help Michelle be seen as a respected person, not as someone crazy or like an animal. He believes that with hope and hard work, anything is possible, and miracles can happen.
This part highlights the initial learning process between Devaraj and Michelle, where we see the challenges Devaraj faces in teaching her. Throughout the movie, Devaraj encounters various obstacles, but by the end, they both develop a strong bond.
In this scene, Devraj and Michelle are in a dimly lit room with a bluish hue. Devraj, who is in the foreground, looks older, wearing a dark beanie and scarf, with gray hair and a serious expression. His hands are clasped, as if he’s deep in thought or conversation. In the background, Michelle is slightly out of focus, appearing to listen closely. The scene has a melancholic and reflective mood, capturing the film's exploration of deep emotions and complex relationships.
In this scene, we observe Michelle's learning process and the significance of the teacher-student relationship. The use of colors is also notable, with the student dressed in black and the teacher in white, creating a contrast that symbolizes Michelle's learning journey.
In the final scene of the movie, Michelle receives her degree after a year of hard work. She decides to show her degree first to her teacher, Devraj.
