MollywoodMaking a new imagery for death needs an inspiring script handled with passion by a director, crafted in detail by a cinematographer-sound designer-production designer combo.Screenshot from 'Ee.Ma.Yau'By Prahlad Gopakumar “Death: You won’t get off that easy.” Death has always been a repetitive motif in cinema. The imagery of death is culture specific; it’s always related to the script of the film and thus to the director’s understanding of language and culture. The Hollywood image of a group wearing black suits and dresses standing in an organised manner and giving speeches are alien to Indians. In India, each region, language and state has its own interpretations of death. The objects, locations and the reactions of the actors used to signify the experience are far removed from the Hollywood ‘way’. Making a new imagery for death is different from and more difficult than making something look good.
