It is not rare to see the movies which have an inspiration from something in surroundings. I am not talking about copycat, adaptions or any other media issues. But I tell that sometimes art can be the reflection of artist's personal feelings. Or it may hugely obsessed with the atmosphere of the artist.In one interview mysskin says that yuddham sei inspired by Edvard Munch's hunting the scream.The scream is written by munch and lately, he draws the painting which is famed in the lists of famous painting like Monalisha and which is one of the highest sold painting.It is a modern art by munch with multiple colors and freehand patterns.
Munch once mentioned in his diary he had been screaming with fear and anxiety and at the time his sister was admitted to hospital for insanity.Munch's sheltering place was not much distance from the asylum.This may reason for his screaming.In the writing of Munch, he writes
"I was walking along the road with two friends
The Sun was setting – the Sky turned blood-red.
And I felt a wave of Sadness – I paused
tired to Death – Above the blue-black
Fjord and City Blood and Flaming tongues hovered
My friends walked on – I stayed
behind – quaking with Angst – I
felt the great Scream in Nature.."
Those two men in the bridge have not cared about his scream. It shows that the man cries inwardly. He is completely unheard in nature.And no one seems to hear it. Because it is in his head. Like our protagonist who missed his sister and screams himself. His isolation anxiety is a complete match to the main figure in the painting.In the above lines, he writes "Sky turned red as blood", which represent the disgusting dead bodies, separated hands of victims in the movie. And it creates sad inevitable feelings among the audience. There is a scream among all characters in the film.
Apart from the protagonist, it reflects the artist the artist's personal experience, like munch Mysskin's scream, reflects in his art. Before we start this discussion, let us view munch's scream once again.His fear is not about only for his family but also for the atmosphere. In that painting, air and water are represented as curved lines which is the symbol of decay. So many argue that that is an interpretation of pollution in Norway in that particular time period. Of course, the painting drew in the industrial age of his country so the scream can come from nature. And this is a reason why Oscar Wilde writes the line," Art imitates nature.."
In Tamil Nadu at the period of film release crime rate is very high. Many women and school children kidnap occurs in the state. According to 2011 reports, we get this point clearly. And also mysskin wites one dialogue," Unga veetla ipdilaam nadantha summa viduveengala..",which is the scream of nature or artist.
Like my previous statement, it is easy to see the art with artist's internal thoughts.You may wonder how the single piece of art inspires the film story. It does not help mysskin for write the entire plot, but it helps to set the mood for the storyline which is filled with dark and sorrow.So listen to nature, observe your surroundings and people, it may help you to hear the uncared screams as an artist.
