 過ちを犯し、大切な人を失い、孤独を知り、最後に得るものは何だろう。重なり合う影に光が差し込む時、全てが"perfect"となる。 言葉がほとんどない映画。だから考え続ける。映画で使われた10曲が、深いテーマを感じさせる。 少年の破滅を神に告白する"House of the Rising Sun" 自殺した彼女を探し続ける"Redondo Beach" 生きる目的を失い、孤独に苛まれる"The Dock of The Bay"  この数曲だけで、単なる「喪失」ではなく「罪」による喪失がテーマあることが分かる。その代償として「孤独」をさ迷う。 映画の核である"Parfect Day" この歌詞の終わりは「聖書」のガラテヤ6章7節。 『人は自分の蒔いたものを刈り取ることになる』 自分の愚かさへの深い「悔恨」がなければ、悲しみを刈り取ることになる。だから、良い種を蒔く生き方を、選び取る必要があるという意味。 (※以下、映画の内容を含む) 役所広司演じる平山の過去については語られない。親との関係で何かがあったことは想像出来る。平山は父親を失った。父親は息子を失った。 父親の話は5秒ほどしかない。話の中心ではないのに、見えない中心なのだ。最後の役所広司の表情。微笑みの中の涙。心の底から絞り出すような演技。圧巻である。 ニーナ·シモンの"Feeling Good"  この最後の曲だけは、喪失ではなく「解放」と「自由」を歌い上げる。この曲の背後には、社会の理不尽さへの不満、怒り、悲しみ。そして、自分の力で自由を勝ち取る喜びがある。彼女自身、DVによる双極性障害で波乱の人生を送った。 平山は、裕福で華やかだが、罪に陥った「過去」の世界と決別したのだ。そこに父親が含まれてしまうのは、別離で自由を得たとしても、慟哭の自由なのだろう。 スカイツリーから東京を照らす朝日。新しい人生の幕開けを予感させ、映画は終わる。なんと深い余韻を残す映画だろうか。 【映画(PERFECT DAYS)考察①】 ※多くの日本人は、この映画の土台は「禅宗」だと言うが、「キリスト教」の要素も。西洋と東洋の考え方を融和させた映画だと思う。

겹치는 그림자에 빛이 꽂을 때 모든 것이 "perfect"가 된다. 말이 거의 없는 영화. 그래서 생각을 계속한다. 영화에서 사용된 10곡이 깊은 테마를 느끼게 한다. 소년의 파멸을 하나님께 고백하는 "House of the Rising Sun" 자살한 그녀를 계속 찾는다 "Redondo Beach" 살아가는 목적을 잃고 외로움에 시달리는 "The Dock of The Bay" '가 아니라 '죄'에 의한 상실이 주제임을 알 수 있다. 그 대가로 '외로움'을 망설인다. 영화의 핵인 "Parfect Day" 이 가사의 끝은 '성경'의 갈라디아 6장 7절. 『사람은 자신의 뿌린 것을 깎아내게 된다』 자신의 어리석음에 대한 깊은 '회한'이 없으면 슬픔을 깎아내게 된다. 그래서 좋은 씨앗을 뿌리는 삶의 방식을 선택해야 한다는 의미. (※이하, 영화의 내용을 포함한다) 관공서 히로시가 연기하는 히라야마의 과거에 대해서는 말할 수 없다. 부모와의 관계에서 무언가가 있었던 것은 상상할 수 있다. 히라야마는 아버지를 잃었다. 아버지는 아들을 잃었다. 아버지의 이야기는 5초 정도밖에 없다. 이야기의 중심이 아닌데 보이지 않는 중심인 것이다. 마지막 관공서 히로지의 표정. 미소 속의 눈물. 마음의 바닥에서 짜내는 연기. 압권이다. 니나 시몬의 "Feeling Good" 이 마지막 곡만은 상실이 아니라 '해방'과 '자유'를 노래한다. 이 노래 뒤에는 사회의 불합리함에 대한 불만, 분노, 슬픔. 그리고 자신의 힘으로 자유를 얻는 기쁨이 있다. 그녀 자신, DV에 의한 양극성 장애로 파란의 삶을 보냈다. 히라야마는 부유하고 화려하지만 죄에 빠진 '과거'의 세계와 결별한 것이다. 거기에 아버지가 포함되어 버리는 것은 별리로 자유를 얻었다고 해도 慟哭의 자유일 것이다. 스카이 트리에서 도쿄를 비추는 아사히. 새로운 삶의 개막을 예감시키고 영화는 끝난다. 얼마나 깊은 여운을 남기는 영화일까. 【영화(PERFECT DAYS) 고찰①】 ※많은 일본인은, 이 영화의 토대는 「선종」이라고 하지만, 「기독교」의 요소도. 서양과 동양의 생각을 융화시킨 영화라고 생각한다.

Gunaa is a 1991 Indian Tamil-language psychological romantic drama film directed by Santhana Bharathi and co-written by Sab John. The film stars Kamal HaasanRekha and newcomer Roshini in her only screen appearance. It revolves around a newly released psychiatric patient (Haasan) who kidnaps an heiress (Roshini) to make her fall in love with him. He believes she is an avatar of goddess Abhirami and it is his destiny to marry her.

Haasan and John initially planned to make a film set in Sri Lanka during a time of insurgency, but the project was dropped over story concerns. John later developed the story of Gunaa, inspired partly by a mentally-ill person he knew. The dialogues were written by Balakumaran, cinematography was handled by Venu and editing by B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan. The film was mostly shot around Kodaikanal, including a cave then known as Devil's Kitchen.

Gunaa was released on 5 November 1991, Diwali day. It was critically acclaimed for its unique theme and performances, but had an average run at the box office. The film won a Tamil Nadu State Film Award, a Filmfare Award, and two Cinema Express Awards

It acquired cult status in Tamil cinema and inspired more films about mentally obsessed lovers, while Devil's Kitchen became a popular tourist spot after the film's release and later known as Guna Caves.

Plot[edit]

Gunaa is an asylum inmate. His cellmate tells him a story, whose protagonist Abhirami gets registered in Gunaa's mind; he believes and dreams that she is an avatar of goddess Abhirami who would marry him on a full moon day. After his psychiatrist test, Ganesh sanctions his release, Gunaa keeps searching for Abhirami. His mother Manonmani runs a brothel after his father deserted her. Her brother-in-law, addressed as "Chitappa", is her aide. Rosy, one of the brothel girls, loves and desires to marry Gunaa, but he does not reciprocate.

Gunaa is an expert at breaking open locks, and Chitappa regularly takes his assistance for stealing. Chitappa decides to break open a hundi at a nearby temple to pay Manonmani's overdue rent. When he takes Gunaa for a rehearsal, Gunaa spots a wealthy heiress in the temple. Since her physical attributes match those of Abhirami as imagined by Gunaa, he approaches her and she smilingly gives him some sweets; her pleasant disposition convinces him that she is Abhirami.

On the scheduled day of heist, Chitappa, Gunaa and their men arrive at the temple. Gunaa opens the lock of the safe room and lets Chitappa's men inside. Seeing the heiress again, he goes after her, accidentally locking Chitappa's men inside. They are caught by officials but manage to escape with some jewels and flee with Gunaa via car. One of them dies when the car crashes, the wounded survivor seizes the heiress's car and starts driving it, with Gunaa also joining.

The wounded man succumbs, and the car falls into the sea. Ramaiah, a CBI officer, investigates the heiress's disappearance, and informs her guardian Suresh Kumar (SK). Having saved the heiress and the jewels from drowning, Gunaa takes them to his house. Landlord Ismail sees the financial reward in a newspaper for the safe return of the heiress. His goons assume her to be a new prostitute brought in without paying their usual bribe and fight with Gunaa. To save her, Gunaa drives her to a dilapidated church on a hilltop, and keeps addressing her as "Abhirami".

The heiress hates Gunaa for his weird nature and tries to escape, but fails every time. With Chitappa's help, SK and Ismail reach the church; SK coerces the heiress, whose real name is Rohini, to sign blank papers so he can control all her wealth. She assents to avoid being killed, but SK tries to kill her anyway. Gunaa intervenes, kills Ismail, knocks SK out and takes the injured Rohini to a cave for safety. Though she first hated Gunaa, she now understands his deep love. She reveals her real name, but prefers the name Abhirami and accepts Gunaa's marriage proposal. Though Gunaa is adamant on marrying on a full moon day, Rohini convinces him it is that day and marries him.

The next morning, Gunaa realises that Rohini has contracted fever; he approaches a doctor to treat her. The doctor's assistant, having seen Gunaa on a newspaper, informs Inspector Moovendhar. When Moovendhar arrives, Gunaa steals a gun and forcibly takes the doctor to the cave. Near the spot, both men are surrounded by numerous policemen led by Moovendhar; Gunaa accidentally shoots a policeman before retreating to the cave where the doctor treats Rohini. Moovendhar seeks more forces and issues a shoot-at-sight order against Gunaa.

Gunaa's kin including Ganesh, Manonmani, Rosy and Ramaiah reach the spot and tell Moovendhar not to kill Gunaa. Rosy enters the cave and requests Gunaa to return the gun which he does through Rosy while remaining inside. Moovendhar then orders Gunaa to surrender. Rohini informs Moovendhar that they are fine, coming out and decides to report SK's crimes. SK overhears this and, to hide his crimes, shoots Rohini. Infuriated, Gunaa kills him. When Gunaa returns, Rohini succumbs in his arms. Gunaa then angrily tells his kin that humans cannot understand his love for Abhirami, and jumps off the cliff with Rohini's corpse. That night, the full moon emerges.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

The director Sibi Malayil, cinematographer Venu and actor Kamal Haasan had planned to make a film set in Sri Lanka during a time of insurgency, written by Sab John. The trio met Cho Ramaswamy to learn more about the various issues in the country, but he criticised their desire to tell such a story, resulting in the project being dropped. John later told Haasan about a mentally-ill person nicknamed "Pottan" (Fool) who he knew in his childhood. This led to the development of a new screenplay, with the protagonist based partly on Pottan. By this time, Sibi Malayil was no longer available, resulting in Santhana Bharathi replacing him.[11][12] The film was produced by Alamelu Subramaniam under Swathi Chithra International,[13] and the dialogues were written by Balakumaran.[1] Venu remained cinematographer, and editing was handled by B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan.[13] The film was originally titled Mathikettan Solai, but later retitled Gunaa after its protagonist due to belief that the original title, which relates to insanity, had negative connotations.[14]

Casting and filming[edit]

In portraying the title character, Haasan went on a diet and lost a substantial amount of weight,[15] besides applying makeup to darken his complexion.[16] For the scenes near the climax, his makeup included many cuts and burns on the face, along with the appearance of a protruding eye.[3] Rohini Kudange, a student of Daisy Irani's acting classes was selected as the female lead Rohini / Abhirami, was given the screen name Roshini,[3] and her voice was dubbed by actress Saritha.[10] Gunaa was the only film she ever acted in.[17] Haasan initially wanted Cochin Haneefa to play Suresh Kumar / S. K., a role that ultimately went to Sharat Saxena.[18] This was the final film where Janagaraj and Haasan appeared together as, during a dubbing session, cast member R. S. Shivaji disagreed with his dubbing style and requested it be redone, to which Janagaraj refused, leading to a physical dispute between the actors. Bharathi and Haasan sided with Shivaji, angering Janagaraj.[19]

The pre-credit scene where Gunaa walks around in circles in an asylum with the camera following him was a shot in a single take after a day of rehearsing.[7] The dilapidated church where Gunaa initially keeps Rohini captive was a set designed by art director Magie at a forest named Mathikettan Solai.[3] The church resembled an old building built 70 years ago.[20] The Kodaikanal caves which the film was shot in, including the song "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan", were then called Devil's Kitchen.[10][21] Sathy who worked as production controller for the film revealed that "the cave was about 500 to 600 deep [..] we tied ropes with pulleys and transferred all the production equipments in and out of the 500 feet cave". Shooting took place for 45 days at the caves.[22] According to Santhana Bharathi, he insisted Haasan to have a dummy used for climax portions similar to his face and physique but was turned down by Haasan.[15]

Themes[edit]

Gunaa has been compared to Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1990) as both films involve the deranged protagonist abducting a woman he believes he is destined to marry,[23] First Blood (1982) because of the protagonist's war against the police, and Rain Man (1988) because the protagonist is shown to have certain "extraordinary talents" despite being mentally ill.[24] Haasan said the tracking shots in the early portions of the film were inspired from films directed by Max Ophüls.[25] He also said that the scene where Gunaa fights with the police and his gun goes off was meant to be a tribute to his favourite actor Dilip Kumar's 1961 film Gunga Jumna.[26] Haasan compared Gunaa to the poet Subramania Bharati, "who to his contemporaries was mad and to some a poet".[3] Hari Narayan of The Hindu compared Gunaa to Moondram Pirai (1982), saying that in both films the protagonist's image of an ideal dreamgirl animate his antics.[27] Srivatsan, writing for India Today, believes the death of Gunaa and Rohini on a full moon day "represents time and a metaphorical implication of immortality and eternity. [...] Gunaa, whose journey begins on a full-moon day, ends on the same day."[28]

Soundtrack[edit]

The music composed by Ilaiyaraaja, and the lyrics were written by Vaali.[29] While releasing the audio cassette of Gunaa in 1991, Haasan included some audio recording sessions with Ilaiyaraaja. "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan" became a milestone in Tamil cinema for the way it mixed dialogue and lyrics.[30][2] The song "Paartha Vizhi" is set in Pavani, a Carnatic raga.[31][32]

Release[edit]

Gunaa was released on 5 November 1991, that year's Diwali day,[33] and faced heavy competition from another Diwali release, Thalapathi.[28] Despite receiving critical acclaim, it was average at the box office due to its experimental nature.[28]

Reception[edit]

On 24 November 1991, Ananda Vikatan appreciated the film and mentioned that Haasan had expanded the boundaries of his acting and had achieved a landmark success in this film, concluding that only Haasan could play this role effortlessly.[34] Sundarji of Kalki appreciated the film for its cinematography, music and the cast performances.[35] The Indian Express wrote "Gunaa, while having as its central character a man who is a mystic of sorts, a dreamer who wants to rise about the mire that he finds himself in and those around him hopelessly lodged in, lets loose a trail of violence which I for one found difficult to stomach [...] One comes out with the impression that the [Kamal Haasan] of the film is such a curious blend of Raj KapoorSylvester Stallone and Dustin Hoffman".[24]

Legacy[edit]

Gunaa acquired cult status in Tamil cinema,[17][40] and inspired more films about mentally obsessed lovers such as Kaadhal Kondein (2003),[41] Chinna (2005),[42] and Kadhalil Vizhunthen (2008).[17] Santhana Bharathi listed it as one of the favourite films he has directed.[43] The Devil's Kitchen became a tourist spot after the film's release and it later became known as "Guna Caves".[44]

In popular culture[edit]

Gunaa was parodied many times in various films. In a comedy scene from Ullam Kollai Poguthae (2001), Arivu (Vivek) imitates Haasan's style of rounding from Gunaa revealing the difficulties he faced due to water, he utters "Sivagami" in the same way which Gunaa utters "Abhirami".[45] In Arul (2004), the title character's friend (Vaiyapuri) sings "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan" which results in him getting whacked by Kanmani (Jyothika).[46] In Adi Thadi (2004), Thiruppathi (Sathyaraj) narrates a letter to Priya (Rathi) with his assistant scribing it. When Thiruppathi asks the letter to be read, the assistant sings the opening address "Ammani anbodu kadhalan ayya ezhudhum kaduthasi" to the tune of "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan", to which Thiruppathi replies "Paatave paaditiya" in the same tone as Gunaa.[47]

Malayalam director Sathyan Anthikad said that the female character Kanmani from his directorial Rasathanthram (2006) was inspired from the song "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan".[48] In Thaamirabharani (2007), Meena (Aarthi) mistakes Bharani (Vishal) as Gunaa in a parody of the queue sequence from "Paartha Vizhi" song (along with shots from the original sequence) when Bharani approaches Sakunthaladevi (Nadhiya) who is handing food to devotees, in a manner that unsettles her with the fear that he might kiss her hands the same way as Gunaa kisses Abirami's hands.[49] In the 2015 Malayalam film Premam, Shambu (Shabareesh Varma) teasingly sings "Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan" as his friend George (Nivin Pauly) express his silent love interest for Malar (Sai Pallavi).[50] In Sangili Bungili Kadhava Thorae (2017), the queue sequence from "Paartha Vizhi" song is parodied as Soornam (Soori) approaches E.B Rajeswari (Kovai Sarala) in a queue of people waiting to pay their electricity bills.[51] The 2024 Malayalam film Manjummel Boys set in Kodaikanal pays tribute to Gunaa by using the song "Kanmani Anbodu" in the starting credits and at several points in the film.[52]
