00:00The more superstitious a person is, the more he is celebrating Kantara.
00:04If I could overlook and ignore the impact Kantara is having on the masses,
00:09I would have surely appreciated it because purely as a piece of art, it is quite appreciable.
00:16India is witnessing what you can call as English-educated superstition
00:21that's happening since last 10-20 years now.
00:24Because the political ideology says culture is everything
00:27and superstition is a part of our ancient culture and that's why Kantara is great.
00:32It is helping us regain our confidence.
00:35Now we can declare to the world that we are superstitious and this is our culture.
00:39That's their argument and that's where I have a huge problem with Kantara.
00:44It is basically going to strengthen the dogmas and the voices of those who believe in all kinds of primitive superstitions.
00:54I am requesting you to please question what you are thinking, what you are doing, the direction you are taking.
00:59I wish we were not living in a society where I had no option but to strongly criticize what is otherwise quite a good piece of art.
01:10There is a question from the online participants.
01:17Recently a movie was released by the name Kantara the Legend and that movie is receiving a lot of great reviews when it comes to its technical prowess.
01:27So people are appreciating the cinematography, the story and a lot of things.
01:32I too watched the movie and I somehow agree with them on most cases.
01:39The cinematography is good.
01:40They have made a nice movie in the kind of budget they had.
01:45But at the same time I wanted to ask a question on the impact of that movie on the society as a whole.
01:53Because that movie is also carrying a message.
01:55Such a movie which is technically very good, is it really going to help the society when it comes to the psyche of the man?
02:09Or there can be some repercussions which I am not seeing as of now?
02:14So obviously I have seen the movie.
02:15Any movie of any birth I usually don't miss.
02:29The impact that the movie is going to have on the society is quite dangerous, very dangerous.
02:36Partially because of the carelessness of the makers and partially because of the kind of people we are.
02:49Potentially the movie could have been seen as communicating
02:55the message of the strife between
03:06Prakrati and man's greed.
03:14The character there, I do not remember the name,
03:17who is the one who is trying to
03:19occupy the
03:21land
03:22of the villagers.
03:25He is just called by the name, Sahib.
03:30So, this character represents
03:33the capitalist mind,
03:36the greedy mind,
03:38who just wants to
03:40consume the forest.
03:43So, potentially
03:44the message could have been a
03:46healthy one,
03:48a great one.
03:52But
03:52practically,
03:55as the movie has
03:56finally turned up,
04:00the message is entirely different.
04:04Most of the attention that the movie has garnered
04:07is due to the last 10-15 minutes,
04:10the climactic scene.
04:11It is basically going to strengthen the dogmas and the voices of those who believe in all kinds of primitive superstitions.
04:32The same story could have been a great, a great commentary on the common kind of rationality.
04:54The usual rationality is nothing but an expression of greed. That's what the movie could potentially have been.
05:10Instead, the movie has become some kind of torch bearer of superstition.
05:17Starting with the initial scenes, where the dancer says that the one who has come to take back the donated land, would meet justice on the stairs of the court.
05:32And then we are shown that fellow, dying on the court steps, bleeding through his mouth.
05:50And that's a very gross scene.
05:51That is exactly the kind of primitive superstition that India has taken centuries to come a little distance from.
06:05And it is again being recycled and reserved to us.
06:24And then the scene in which the dancer runs away and goes to the jungle and makes a few quick circles and disappears and all that you are left with is a circle of fire.
06:46That is the stuff of the folklore that has damaged India, no end in the past.
06:58What's worse is that all these things have not been shown as symbolic.
07:03They have been portrayed as factual.
07:07Had they been shown as mere symbols, then I would have had no objection.
07:17But they are not shown to be symbolic.
07:19They are shown as if a person has actually physically disappeared.
07:24As if the spirit within the body has become disembodied.
07:30And that is the reason why those who talk so much of disembodied beings are particularly gloating over the success of this movie.
07:43The more superstitious a person is, the more he is celebrating Kantara.
07:49I am sure this was not the intention of the filmmaker.
07:56I greatly appreciated Charlie 777.
08:01We talked over it and we in fact published a video on the same on our channel.
08:10I am sure the filmmaker was not intending Kantara to become cannon fodder for the superstition lobby.
08:29But that's what it has become.
08:32And the filmmaker should have foreseen that.
08:39This country has been in a vice-like grip of all kinds of nonsense since very very long.
08:53And that is the reason why, even in the constitution, as part of both the directive principles of state policy and the fundamental duties, it had to be said that it is very important to cultivate scientific temperament in the population.
09:19Very important.
09:20Because that's what this country has been lacking and has paid a tremendous price for being superstitious.
09:28And we are not learning from history.
09:31We are saying that Kantara is a celebration of our culture.
09:40What do you mean by that?
09:42Is it a thing to be proud of if your culture involves a lot of mindlessness and superstition?
09:50Please!
09:51How is it a thing to be proud of?
09:56It is not, you see, coincidental that this spirit business, this spirit business, this
10:23thing regarding ghosts, spirits, disembodied beings has returned to gain so much of circulation
10:50these days.
10:59You have Bhutpreth professionals on social media these days, who with all impunity and audacity,
11:17say how they are dealing with spirits and they are gaining traction.
11:27Kantara belongs to that same kind of trend.
11:34Ghosts and spirits are trending.
11:40They are in fashion.
11:41So if you talk superstitious nonsense these days, you are doing what the trend is.
12:01It's just that it used to be on the periphery.
12:10All these things have existed in India, have been in culture but they have been at the periphery.
12:16They used to be a part of the remote culture.
12:20These things used to be practiced in the interiors.
12:26What is very alarming and threatening rather is that these things are now being mainstreamed.
12:37from interiors and uneducated areas.
12:42These things are now being beamed into the bigger cities, into the metros, into the otherwise educated homes.
12:54And people are gladly falling prey to all this.
13:04India is witnessing what you can call as English educated superstition that's happening since last 10-20 years now.
13:15Mostly in the last 8-10 years.
13:20Because the political conditions have become very conducive for superstition to prosper.
13:26How?
13:28Because the political ideology says culture is everything and superstition is a part of our ancient culture.
13:38So superstition is great.
13:41The political ideology is not talking really of spirituality.
13:47It is talking only of culture.
13:50It says our culture is great and since superstition has been a part of our great culture,
13:56therefore superstition is also great.
13:59Hence you have rise of god men over the last 10 years who specialize in superstition.
14:09Half their talks and discourses are about the other world.
14:15What happens in death, after death, how many kinds of disembodied beings are there,
14:22how to talk to them, how to tame them.
14:25And all this is gaining both traction and market.
14:31People are buying this stuff, especially when it is coming well packaged in English, in an aesthetically pleasing way.
14:44Buy it.
14:48Now you see, it is not a stuff of the uneducated.
14:57It is coming from the highest places and that too in English.
15:03So it can be bought and it is being bought even in very educated stations.
15:18Like Bangalore for example.
15:22Bangalore has become a hotbed of superstition.
15:33This is a very, very tragic development.
15:37What's more, more movies of this nature are now bound to come given that this one has obtained commercial success.
15:49Don't you see already, you have a slew of movies on all these topics?
16:04This one has come Ram Setu.
16:06Do I suppose it has already flopped or what?
16:08Yet to be released or already flopped?
16:11Already flopped.
16:25So there are spirits and they can possess you.
16:29Was this not always being believed in the hills, in the Adivasi areas, in all these places?
16:41Somehow literacy levels rose and education enabled us to go beyond this nonsense.
16:53And such a shame that by using the gifts of technology, the same nonsense is being pushed back in our lives.
17:14The most modern technology is being used to create the most primitive kind of movies.
17:23And when I say this, I concede that in an awakened society the same movie could have been interpreted differently.
17:40In fact, when I watched the movie, I was rather pleased.
17:47To me, the movie was not really about superstition.
17:52The movie was about the strife between jungle and greed.
17:58That was how I looked at the movie and I was rather pleased.
18:03So my contention with Kantara is not really in the theme.
18:11It is in the effect.
18:16The same theme could have had a beneficial effect in another society.
18:27But in this society and in these times, you are being careless and irresponsible as a scriptwriter, as a producer, director and actor.
18:42If you come up with such a thing without thinking of the effects that your production will have on the masses.
18:54So from my initial approval of the movie, and I very readily gave my approval to the movie,
19:01I had to come around to admitting that the effect of the movie on the society is rather deleterious.
19:16When I see the kind of people, you know, you want to know how good a thing is or how good a person is, I will give you a talisman.
19:29Just look at the quality of the people who are with it and opposing it.
19:37If you want to know how good Kantara is, just look at the quality of the people who oppose me and you will realize.
19:47If you want to know how good Kantara is, just look at the quality of people who have come out in its support.
19:54And look at what they are saying in its defence and support and approval.
20:01And you will realize.
20:08It is an orgy of chest thumping.
20:13And they are saying, see we always knew that these things are great.
20:21But we were shown down and ashamed.
20:28Now we have come out loudly and unabashedly.
20:33They are saying Kantara is an unapologetic movie.
20:38Unapologetic?
20:40In what sense?
20:42Because we were made to apologize for our superstitions earlier.
20:47Now we are loudly declaring our superstitions.
20:55And that's why Kantara is great.
20:57It is helping us regain our confidence.
21:00Now we can declare to the world that we are superstitious.
21:03And this is our culture.
21:08Now that's their argument.
21:10And that's where I have a huge problem with Kantara.
21:15Otherwise purely in terms of aesthetics etc.
21:20You know very well that I like the movie.
21:23But the kind of use the movie has been put to is very very dangerous.
21:33That which should have been symbolic has been taken as factual.
21:40People are already saying that there exists, exists, factually exists, a spirit.
21:47And that spirit is the Daiv.
21:52And the spirit roams about and enters people's bodies.
21:55And that too only on specific days for specific purposes.
21:59This is very very dangerous kind of mindlessness.
22:05Plus this is anti-spiritual.
22:07I do not know what it has to do with culture.
22:12But it surely is very very antithetical to spirituality.
22:17Particularly Vedanta.
22:22And all the things that mark the cultural right have been glorified in the movie.
22:34For example an apathy towards nature.
22:37So who are the heroes who kill animals?
22:41Did you watch the movie?
22:43The forest officer is trying to prevent them from hunting.
22:47And they are the ones who go about killing animals.
22:50They cut trees.
22:51In fact one of the huge trees that they cut actually falls on the forest officer's vehicle.
22:56So destruction of flora and fauna.
23:00Killing trees, killing animals.
23:02All that is okay with the right.
23:03The cultural right.
23:05And that's the right for ideology right?
23:07Nature is there for my consumption.
23:10And the police officer has been shown as a fool.
23:12When he says that when you are bursting crackers.
23:14The animals are being disturbed.
23:16He has been shown a fool when he says that.
23:25And they are big time meat eaters.
23:27All the heroes there.
23:29All the heroes there are constantly pig and fish.
23:34And all kinds of animals they are killing and eating.
23:37And all that is being glorified.
23:39That's our culture.
23:40Our culture.
23:41Our culture.
23:42Very, very saddening development.
24:07What's more it's just the tip of the iceberg.
24:14Now you will have an entire series of movies on such topics.
24:26And this population of ours.
24:27Which is already steeped in mindlessness.
24:33Will become even more mindless.
24:39And very confidently.
24:41And unapologetically so.
24:42There are news reports.
24:44There are people who are going to watch Kantara.
24:48And they, in the middle of the movie, they start emitting the same kinds of sounds.
24:55One woman had to be carried away.
24:56She was all the time.
24:57She watched the movie and she felt as if the spirit has possessed her as well.
25:02And she started saying.
25:03And she had to be physically taken away.
25:04All that is there in the papers.
25:05Read.
25:06That's the effect that this movie is having on the masses.
25:07Now this Bhutpreet business is being done.
25:08In the middle of the movie you are going to have to be taken away.
25:09In the middle of the movie.
25:10And they start emitting the same kinds of sounds.
25:11One woman had to be carried away.
25:12She was all the time.
25:13She watched the movie and she felt as if the spirit has possessed her as well.
25:17And she started saying.
25:18And she had to be physically taken away.
25:25All that is there in the papers.
25:26Read.
25:27effect that this movie is having on the masses.
25:35Now this Bhutpreth business is going to reach every household.
25:41And you'll have professionals specializing in this business.
25:49And they'll carry out their business professionally like an MBA in English.
25:59They'll have proper websites, they'll be enrolled as companies, they'll pay GST, they'll call
26:06themselves consultants, spirit consultants, specializing in, you know even disembodied
26:13beings will have several departments.
26:14There is a Bhut, there is a Preth, there is a Chudal, there is a Dayan, there is Jinn.
26:19So they'll have entire hospitals of specific kinds and you can go there and take appointments.
26:28So you can go to the Jinn department.
26:32And this thing is going mainstream, for sure.
26:39Very very educated people are going to fall for it.
26:42Why?
26:43Because we are not educated in life, we are not educated in the self.
26:49We do not have spiritual education.
26:52And the only antidote to superstition is spirituality.
27:00Science cannot defeat spirituality.
27:04Science cannot defeat superstition.
27:09Science just cannot defeat superstition, rather superstition will co-opt science.
27:14Particularly technology.
27:18The only thing that can defeat superstition is spirituality.
27:23And we have no spiritual education, therefore the forces of superstition will be all over us.
27:30We thought that just having scientific education is enough.
27:46It will help us move away from superstition.
27:48Not true.
27:49Not true.
27:50I am venturing to prophesize.
27:57All the superstitions that you thought dead and gone are going to return.
28:01You will see all of that.
28:04All those things that your grandmothers used to practice will soon return.
28:10And in new and modern English names, the old primitive superstition is going to return packaged as something modern and English.
28:21Primitive and local stuff that used to be practiced in backward local areas that's now going to become mainstreamed.
28:34Not that Kantara alone would do that.
28:36That's the project.
28:38A lot of cultural nationalists have been on.
28:42And that's what some of the biggest gurus have been trying to do.
28:47They have been trying to make local superstition national.
28:59Even international.
29:06Just turn local superstition into something that looks modern.
29:13And market it to the entire country.
29:15Let it be accepted in every home.
29:29I repeat, as a piece of art, I still approve of the movie.
29:39But as someone who is bothered about the society, I am quite worried.
29:50The way this movie will be taken is being taken.
29:58And the trend that the movie is going to set.
30:01Very dangerous.
30:11You know, you always have had horror flicks.
30:15Bhutbhutni types.
30:17The only thing is that you always knew it was fiction.
30:22The special thing with Kantara is, it shows that thing as factual.
30:29It is brilliantly made, no? Actually.
30:35Well done, Rishabh Shetty.
30:36You are led into believing that all this really exists and happens.
30:48I have had one.
30:49Good morning.
30:50I hope you are at this.
30:52Thank you for the work.
30:55Thank you for the work.
30:56Thank you for the work.
30:59I've had one particular lady, so sir, this was like six months back,
31:28when for two months, like I was possessed, and this spirit, it was really so mean.
31:36It used to attack me, you know, only when I was trying to be happy.
31:41Like, wait, what happened?
31:44I was possessed.
31:46What exactly is that?
31:48No, there are these spirits now.
31:54What?
31:54There are these spirits, they don't remain visible, but they sometimes take shape.
32:04And then they disappear, and they enter your body, and they capture your mind.
32:13Educated one.
32:15That's why I'm talking like this.
32:16Well-educated in a Delhi college.
32:25And pretty comfortable.
32:30And unapologetic in asserting that she was possessed for two months.
32:35But sir, there are so many proofs.
32:47You look at YouTube, there are so many videos showing how people are possessed.
32:54Game over.
32:56Finished.
32:58It's trending.
32:59But sir, exactly what is it that is within us that wants to believe into such stories?
33:14Because ultimately, what I have seen is that people start thinking that, you know, maybe
33:18there are some dimensions to living that I don't know of, but they do exist.
33:22So, if I am not aware of them, why should I, you know, make a statement that they do not exist?
33:26The one thing that the ego is deeply afraid of is responsibility.
33:36Another name for that responsibility is truth.
33:42I do not want to take charge of my life.
33:48So, I would rather console myself by believing that there are hidden masters in charge.
33:58That there are invisible forces that are controlling me, affecting me, even possessing me.
34:08I don't want to take responsibility because that is, as they say, tough shit.
34:14So, I would rather say, no, you know, I flunked the exam because I was possessed.
34:26What was the name of the central character?
34:29Shiva.
34:29Could Shiva have defeated Sahib on his own?
34:32No.
34:33Because as normal human beings, we are so little and so helpless and powerless.
34:40As little beings, we can do nothing.
34:42So, what should we do?
34:44We should pray to the Daiv so that the spirit comes and helps us.
34:48And then we can do something.
34:51You understand the absence of responsibility in all this?
34:58I am little.
34:58I can't do much.
35:00The great forces are all outside of me.
35:03And that absolves me of all responsibility.
35:09The great forces are all out there.
35:10What can I do?
35:11In fact, because the greatness, the power is all outside of me, so I get the license to be irresponsible like Shiva.
35:24All the day, entire day, I can loaf around, I do nothing, I don't work, I just eat, drink, make merry, I kill animals, I cut the trees down.
35:34That's what I can do.
35:35Because all the greatness is outside of me.
35:37I don't have any responsibility to be here.
35:39My only responsibility is to let the great spirit enter me.
35:50So then, you know, life becomes cool.
35:52Why did you flunk the exam?
35:55Why did you flunk the exam?
35:57Because the spirit had possessed me.
36:00Why did she top the exam?
36:02Because some other helpful spirit had entered her.
36:05How did Federer win 20 Grand Slams?
36:16A great spirit used to enter him.
36:18I'm not making fun of spirits here.
36:28I'm not trying to attack somebody's ego.
36:30I'm requesting you to please question, what you are thinking, what you are doing, the direction you are taking.
36:54The movie is some kind of a wasted opportunity.
36:57Think of the direction it could have taken.
37:01Think of the message it could have conveyed.
37:05It's an important message that the film stands very properly to convey.
37:18The conflict between, I'm repeating this, the forces of greed and the forces of the jungle.
37:27And remember, the movie opens by, when the king says that I want peace.
37:33And for the sake of peace, I'm prepared to donate so much land.
37:38The message contained there is that peace is more important than land.
37:43So that's wonderful.
37:45And the movie could have stood for that central message.
37:48But unfortunately, the movie has come to stand for something totally different.
37:58I wish we were not living in a society where I had no option but to strongly criticize what is otherwise quite a good piece of art.
38:14If I could overlook and ignore the impact Kantara is having on the masses, I would have surely appreciated it because purely as a piece of art, it is quite appreciable.
38:31It's not even that it's having that impact.
38:44It is being used to create that impact on the masses by all the babas and the gurus and even the politicians.
38:52And then the profit-seeking filmmakers, the other filmmakers, will cash in on the opportunity and create absolutely wild stuff following Kantara.
39:10A follow-up question to the same.
39:23We debate a lot on the, you know, if technology is a boon or a curse.
39:28But we seldom discuss what exactly is the place of art in our life or in society as such.
39:36So I wanted your insights on this.
39:39What exactly, what role does art serve in a society?
39:47See, it all depends on you.
39:51If you look at the 1930s and 40s, of the various instruments that Hitler and the Nazi party used, art was a prominent one.
40:14Especially when you want to condition the people, then art is a very useful tool of propaganda.
40:30And that's why you find that since the last 10 years or so,
40:34ideologies are trying in a big way to penetrate cinema so that movies with a specific message can be created.
40:54Specific political message especially.
40:59It's movies being created on demand.
41:01Movies being created with a specific purpose.
41:07Not as art forms only.
41:11But as art with a goal.
41:16So as long as
41:18the artist is trying to express
41:23life and truth as he honestly sees it.
41:28Art is wonderful.
41:29I'll quote Dhumil here.
41:32Ek sahi kavita pehle ek sarthak vakhtavye hoti hai.
41:41The right poem is first of all
41:44a meaningful statement.
41:49You cannot have trash served
41:52in an ornamented and aesthetically pleasing way
41:56and call it art.
42:01You cannot just have
42:04ornate words
42:07and call them poetry.
42:11There has to be a meaning.
42:17There has to be a purpose.
42:19Sarthakta.
42:26The purpose has to be truth.
42:29Because that has to be the purpose
42:30behind every single human activity.
42:33Whatever you do.
42:34Since
42:37truth and liberation
42:41have to be the purpose
42:42behind anything and everything
42:44that we do.
42:45Therefore they have to be
42:47the purpose of art as well.
42:51So the question
42:53when it comes to assessing art
42:55must be
42:55is this piece of art
43:00leading me towards liberation
43:01or towards falseness?
43:06Is this painting
43:08or poem
43:09or movie
43:11or dance
43:13or drama
43:16or whatever
43:17helping
43:20clear
43:21the mental
43:22clutter
43:23is it
43:25deepening
43:26my understanding
43:27or
43:29is it
43:30designed
43:31to condition
43:32me
43:32and make
43:33me
43:34fall
43:37into the trap
43:38of
43:38some
43:39political
43:39motivation?
43:42What is
43:43that art
43:44work
43:44for?
43:45if art
43:48is true
43:49it will liberate
43:50but if
43:52art
43:53is being used
43:54it will
43:55enslave
43:56and
43:59mostly
43:59the kind
44:04of art
44:05we are talking
44:05of
44:06is
44:07sellable
44:07if the
44:11artist
44:11is
44:13available
44:14to be sold
44:15his art
44:17will be
44:17very dangerous
44:18because art
44:21captivates
44:21the mind
44:22you can
44:23have a
44:24musician
44:24you can
44:26have a
44:26rapper
44:27and if
44:30you can
44:30buy
44:30this
44:31musician
44:31he can
44:33create
44:34wonderful
44:34music
44:35that can
44:37serve
44:37your agenda
44:39commercial
44:43agenda
44:43or political
44:44agenda
44:44don't they
44:46hire
44:46musicians
44:47to create
44:48advertisements
44:48now music
44:51is not
44:52art here
44:52anymore
44:53music
44:56is an
44:57instrument
44:57to maximize
45:00your commercial
45:01profit
45:01you think
45:03you are
45:03listening to
45:04a jingle
45:04but by
45:06listening to
45:06that jingle
45:07you are being
45:07motivated
45:08to pay up
45:10to buy
45:11something
45:11and there
45:15have been
45:15several
45:16jingles
45:19in ad
45:20forms
45:20they have
45:21become
45:21very popular
45:22no
45:22and you
45:24just keep
45:25humming them
45:25and when
45:26you are
45:26humming them
45:26it's a
45:27success of
45:28the artist
45:29but more
45:29than the
45:30success of
45:30the artist
45:31it is the
45:32success
45:32of the
45:33businessman
45:33because
45:35when you
45:36are
45:36the
45:37businessman
45:37who hired
45:38the artist
45:38because when
45:39you are
45:39humming that
45:40jingle
45:40you are
45:42subconsciously
45:43preparing to
45:44buy the
45:45product
45:45that the
45:46jingle
45:46stands for
45:47are you
45:51getting it
45:52so that's
45:54what art
45:54is being
45:56used for
45:56these days
45:57there are
45:58hardly any
45:59independent
46:00artists
46:00and be
46:03very very
46:03cautious of
46:04artists
46:05up for sale
46:07rather artists
46:08who have been
46:09already sold
46:10because they
46:13know how to
46:14capture your
46:14mind
46:14they will
46:16capture your
46:16mind and
46:17then in
46:17your mind
46:18they will
46:18place all
46:19the nonsense
46:19that their
46:20masters are
46:21dictating
46:22them to
46:22the artist
46:25has the
46:26knack of
46:28entering
46:28your mind
46:29he will
46:30enter
46:30you will
46:31find the
46:32art farm
46:32pleasing
46:32and after
46:34he enters
46:34your mind
46:35he will
46:35place in
46:36your mind
46:36some stuff
46:37that he has
46:38been paid
46:38for
46:38the artist
46:42has sold
46:42himself
46:43and his
46:43master
46:43has told
46:44him
46:44to place
46:45thing X
46:48in the
46:49mind of
46:50the audience
46:50so he
46:51he the
46:52artist
46:52will open
46:53your mind
46:54and place
46:55X in
46:55your
46:56for example
46:57you might
46:58like the
46:58music
46:58but the
47:00lyrics
47:00are coming
47:02from the
47:02master
47:03the buyer
47:04you will
47:07think that
47:07you are
47:08appreciating
47:08the music
47:09but the
47:12music is
47:13just a
47:13trojan
47:14horse
47:14in the
47:16garb of
47:16the music
47:17it is
47:18very likely
47:19that an
47:19ideology
47:20will be
47:20planted
47:21in your
47:21mind
47:21that's
47:28where
47:28art is
47:29very very
47:29dangerous
47:30equally
47:34art can
47:35be very
47:35redeeming
47:35redeeming
47:35for example
47:39when
47:40the partition
47:43of Bengal
47:43had to be
47:44opposed
47:441905
47:49I suppose
47:50the nationalists
47:53created lot
47:54of songs
47:55songs can be
47:59used either way
48:00art can be
48:01used either way
48:01in this time
48:09and age
48:10art is a
48:11thing
48:12to be
48:13sold
48:13so be very
48:18cautious of
48:19artists
48:19they are not
48:21presenting art
48:22to you
48:22they are
48:25selling something
48:28to you
48:29in garb
48:29of the art
48:30sometimes
48:34you will find
48:35that art
48:35is for free
48:36and you will
48:39readily consume
48:39it
48:40you will not
48:40realize that
48:41when you are
48:41consuming that
48:42art piece
48:43thinking that
48:47it's free
48:47you are actually
48:49being conditioned
48:51to spend on
48:52something
48:52or to
48:53subscribe to
48:54something
48:54most probably
48:58to an
48:58ideology
48:59the role
49:17of culture
49:18in ideology
49:19cannot be
49:20overemphasized
49:21think of
49:23Guayra
49:23they are
49:27not merely
49:28ideological
49:30revolutionaries
49:31they are also
49:32cultural icons
49:33don't
49:42their
49:46they are
49:46being
49:46in
49:47and
49:48they are
49:49being
49:49the
49:50and
49:50they are
49:51taking
49:51them
49:52they are
49:52taking
49:52sure
49:52and
49:52they are
49:52encouraging
49:53not merely
49:53themselves
49:53they are
49:54understanding
