Episode 132 - Outlaw Country: Paan Singh Tomar, Sonchiriya, and Thar
We set out on the back country trails with three modern takes on the western genre.
Notes:
Content Warning: two of these films feature sexual assault as plot points
What is a Western? Did they die out?
The Emergency
The period Hindi Westerns: The Magnificent Two (Sholay)
Revisionist Hollywood Westerns, Dark Westerns, Blaxploitation Westerns, the list goes on
We miss Irrfan Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput
Spoiler alert, none of these movies end very well for the main character
Paan Singh Tomar
We have watched many sports biopics, they usually don’t have this many gunfights though
(INTERVAL (”Baaghi Re” from Sonchiriya)
Sonchiriya
Alberta is the wild west
Caste politics and feminism
Thar
Violence should have a point
Catharsis and heroic bloodshed (see RRR)
Spoiler Zone: 55:57 - 1:00:54
Next time: 2022 midyear review
