Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is the story of the Hindu God Shiva, also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with Sati. Sati who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, a staunch Vishnu devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the yajna of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces Virabhadra, who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into Shakti Peethas, embodiments of the power of the Goddess Adi Shakti.
Sati is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, Ganga. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage Dadhichi, who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
Shiva and Parvati give birth to Kartikeya, who slays the demon Tarakasura and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by Meenakshi and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of Tripura, belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.
After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord Indra (the King of Devas) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi Durvasa gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as prasadam. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, Airavata to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King Bali attacks heaven and in attempt to steal Amrita (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the Ocean of milk. To get the Amrit back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the Amrita and to share it among them.
The churning of the ocean, known as Samudra Manthan is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord Vishnu also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, Kurma.
The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as Halahala. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the Amrita secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.
The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of Senapati(head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
Looking at the ill happening of the world, of how Ahalya is seduced by Indra, Mahadev come indside. Even after Mahadev tells that he is his father and many other gods tried to tell him, he still refuses. Mahadev got angry and cut Vinayak's head.
偏向舞台剧,对白也是,光影也是,看完不眠之夜沉浸舞台剧之后再来看这个
无继承人的国王登上王位,女巫是深层欲望的投影,血与毁灭将降临大地,乌鸦已群飞遮蔽天空
感觉像话剧现场录制的视频,而且是很传统的莎剧。实在是无创新,所以找黑人演的重要角色。
然而表演的拿捏似乎在度上仍可继续商榷
8.4分 乔尔科恩单挑大梁,改编了一部如此特色鲜明的莎士比亚,竟也没有让我失望。台词并不如想象中难懂,很多时候未必需得听出每一句的意蕴,只看出表层了解大意便足以投入故事感受其魅力了。剧作五星,当然这是莎士比亚的功劳。而在这诸多的人物甚至都没有交代什么背景的前提下,竟毫不纷乱,科恩的功力真是了得。看得出来他绝对是下足了功夫,一如自己的风格强调着宿命与人性,极简主义和黑白风格用得和谐,庄重肃穆,气势恢宏。几场室内戏极具表现力,留白恰到好处,光影变换让人如醉如痴。算是将一场舞台剧完美复刻到大荧幕,尽管没有太大创意。
舞台化布光、垂直调度、俯拍和仰拍,地狱般的荒原弥漫着死亡气息,毫无生气的高大建筑和空旷通道让人迷失,视听雕琢到这种程度看着太过瘾了。以弗里恩斯作结提供了彩蛋般的乐趣。
在欧洲的传统叙事中总喜欢插入一则带有宿命论的神谕。
Life is but a walking shadow
简洁主义的布景、极为考究的台词、充满张力的表演、自成一体的美学,使得影片具有浓厚的舞台剧色彩。这也不同于科恩兄弟以往的作品,或许是由于乔尔·科恩单独执导本片,我更愿将这部电影视为其“单飞”后的实验作品。
1.极致戏剧化的呈示,而非着手于对镜头媒介的献媚,这才意味着电影艺术真的成熟了。
就一开始被这个光影和几个影帝影后的表演给震慑到了,正要打个高分的时候,回过味来,却依然觉得故事还是那样,人物也没有突显出来,更多的是戏剧化的表达,可以说是把话剧搬到了荧幕,话剧与电影的结合是做的不错的,依靠于那精细的光影,但是故事却因为要应和这个光影而略显得薄弱。
可以但没必要的创作。极简风加照搬原本 有着表现主义的装置 打光,整体还是缺少电影“纵深感”的舞台化。 最缺失的其实是对于人物动作的视听设计,除了固定镜头 只有傻傻的跟拍。 唯独的亮点是把麦克白内心的那把利刃 给合理的视觉化,达成双重隐喻 这才是独属电影的,可惜这样的设计太少。
该死的为什么只能在流媒体看(影院都关门了)
看过的第一版莎翁剧《麦克白》,极简的黑白摄影,紧凑刺激的剧情,男女黑白双煞的演技,地表最强的台词对白。
这把年纪感觉真的看不了这种文学电影了,艰难看完
莎翁的作品现在看来确实跟不上时代了,同样的故事在现代人看来,台词太过晦涩,剧情太过拖沓了。丹泽尔华盛顿的表演无可挑剔。极简主义的场景有的镜头看起来很美,有的却又显得那么简陋。
在欧洲的传统叙事中总喜欢插入一则带有宿命论的神谕。
麦克白其实就是一则寓言故事 跟我们解释了什么是self fulfilling prophecy 算是忠实原著了
这光影布景无敌,科恩的极简式改编。欧洲的文学巨著却启用黑人演员,也算大胆尝试了。
和奥逊·威尔斯那版的《麦克白》相比,故事讲得更丝滑、更工整,但是情感却显得如此的单薄。形式上的美大于一切吧。相较于丹泽尔·华盛顿扮演的麦克白,麦克多蒙德扮演的麦克白夫人更出彩一些。
