Baahubali 2
GOT who?
LOTR what?… I am not entirely sure what just happened. Exploding balls of men with shields catapulting from palm trees. A man just sliding around this invasion on his shield, then Captain America-ing like 10 dudes with it.
Bollywood effects departments are having way too much fun.
I have no idea what I just watched but I am 100% on board.
OH OH OH I HAVE A STORY TO ADD TO THIS.
So I’ve had the pleasure of working in the armory dept of a Bollywood Film, and got to spend a lot of time hanging out with the Indian crews.
Basically, the effects are so outlandish because “ITS THE MOVIES, WHY NOT” and because it’s a lot of fun to come up with these silly cartoony things and figure out how to film them.
They actively try to out-do each-other to see who makes the silliest thing happen. It’s great.
AMAZING
I realize this scene looks completely cheesey and dumb but seriously…
Bahubali is like, a fucking amazing movie. It’s on Netflix. Watch the hell out of that shit
