Structuralism

• What is Structuralism ?

When we read and interpret a poem, song or novel or movie, we engaged in structuralist activity, if we examine a large number of poem or lyric to discover the basic principle that govern their composition, say, in structuralist activity. If we talk a single poem and discover in its composition an example of the basic principle in a structutal system of poem. Like recently I comment of face book post about Kinjal dave's new song 'વીરા વિરલ તારી ઉંમર છે થોડી, નાની ઉમર માં ચડવું છે ઘોડી' See the post CLICK HERE It type of work we can call Structuralist. Structuralism is a human science that tries to understand the basic structure that underlie all human experience and behaviour. It is generally defined as the internal relationship through which constitute element of a whole are organised.




                 The swiss linguist Ferdinand Saussure said that language is not a collection of individual words, but a structured system of relationship among theme at a given point of time, existing synchronically. Structuralism is interested in finding out the rules that govern the functioning of language. Saussure called the structure of lanuage, langue and parole. According to him Language is a structure, a system of sign. Individual components of this system can be understood only in relation to one another and in relation to the ststem as a whole and not in relation to any external reality that exists outside the system.

Here I found three similar structural movie one is,




1) Maine Pyar Kiya......
2) Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (telugu movie)
3) Ramaiya Vastavaiya

 

 

 

1) Maine Pyar Kiya

Maine Pyar Kiya ( I Loved), also known as MPK,(Salman's first lead role movie) is a 1989 Indian musical romance film, directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, and written by Barjatya with S. M. Ahale.Starring Salman Khan (Prem) and Bhagyashree (Suman) in the lead roles, it was produced by Rajshri Productions. This movies base theme is Friendship, Love, Romance.

2) Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana

I do not see this movie but it is a part of my answer, according to wikipedia,Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (If you wish to come, will I say no?) is a 2005 Teluguromantic comedy film, starring Siddharth and Trisha Krishnan. It marks the directorial debut of Prabhu Deva.The film is inspired by two of Salman Khan movies Maine Pyar Kiya and "Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya".

3) Ramaiya Vastavaiya

                Ramaiya Vastavaiya (Ramayya will come) is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language actionromantic comedy-drama film directed by Prabhudheva and produced by Kumar S. Taurani, under Tips. Film stars debutant Girish Kumar alongside Shruti Haasan in lead roles.

                      Here I would like to talk about Ramaiya Vastavaiya. First of all if we talk about theme, this movie is base on Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, and NN movie is base on MPK (maine pyar kiya) and Pyar kiya to darna kya (1998). So we can say that Directer has imitated theme because he discover those type of film which have a Romance, Fight, Friendship and many other things. Here I noticed that here The directer has saw one toy ( horse ) what it mean? If horse is not there, what the hero (Ram) has not approved his love to Sona..? (When the horse has broken by Dolly and Ram has repaired it) Second does Sona's brother not realize that He really loved his sister. (When The Ram has skip on Fire only for Toy) I think that Horse is the sign of progress and love. When movie opens, there were a seen of jail. the director told us earlier that there will be kill. So we thinks whole movie that when and where and who will be died (suspense). When the movie played there were all characters has a good characteristic so we every time (during the movie) thinks who will dead. Whole movie is around the Horse.              Normally we think that Horse means 4 lags and pet animal. But here director Prabhudeva use as a sign of Love and Progress.

• Significance of ' FIRE ' and ' ICE ' in the both poems : 1) Fire and Ice by Robert Frost and 2) Ice and Fire by Edmund Spenser.

                   In this both of poem their are common thing told which is Fire and Ice and we can see this thing as many ways like fire is a symbol of passion, fire, Desire, expectation and Ice is a symbol of careless.thus Both the poems have different meaning and represents the symbol and sign. One poem shows us the capacity of disaster and second was the different one which shows the possibilities between fire and ice. Poem represents the desire and hate. We can also see the paradox between the fire and ice, and the for destruction both are the sufficient.
