When writing a work of fiction, most authors take the reader out of the present story jumping to an earlier time period in a character’s life. This narrative tool is called a flashback, a technique extensively used in films and serials.
Citizen Kane directed by, produced by, and starring Orson Welles hit the screens in 1941. Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz wrote the screenplay. The picture was Welles's first feature film. It is often cited as the greatest film ever made. For 40 years (5 decennial polls: 1962, 1972, 1982, 1992, 2002), it stood at number 1 in the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound decennial poll of critics, and it topped the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as its 2007 update. The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories and it won for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Mankiewicz and Welles
Analepsis is a literary device in narrative, in which a past event is narrated at a point later than its chronological place in a story. A form of anachrony by which some of the events of a story are related at a point in the narrative after later story‐events have already been recounted. Commonly referred to as retrospection or flashback, analepsis enables a storyteller to fill in background information about characters and events. A narrative that begins in medias res will include an analeptic account of events preceding the point at which the tale began.
A flashback is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point in the story. In film, flashbacks depict the subjective experience of a character by showing a memory of a previous event and they are often used to "resolve an enigma". Some of the camera techniques include – deliberately blurring the edges of the pic, jarred or choppy photos or unusual coloration or sepia tone, or monochrome when most of the story is in full color, is used. The scene may fade or dissolve, often with the camera focused on the face of the character and there is typically a voice-over by a narrator too.
One of the most famous examples of a flashback is in the Orson Welles' film Citizen Kane (1941). The protagonist, Charles Foster Kane, dies at the beginning, uttering the word Rosebud. The remainder of the film is framed by a reporter's interviewing Kane's friends and associates, in a futile effort to discover what the word meant to Kane. As the interviews proceed, pieces of Kane's life unfold in flashback, but Welles' use of such unconventional flashbacks !!!
A narrative work beginning in medias res ( lit. "into the middle of things") opens in the chronological middle of the plot, rather than at the beginning. Shakespeare’s Hamlet begins after the death of Hamlet's father which is later discovered to have been a murder. Works that employ in medias res often later use flashback and nonlinear narrative for exposition to fill in the backstory.
The film begins ‘in medias res’, with a masked person being
brought to the Central Jail in Chennai, India. When asked by a fellow-inmate
for the reasons behind his imprisonment, the masked person replies that he is
imprisoned for attempting to do good for the people. The masked person is
revealed to be Sivaji - with the story
unwinding to a flashback of a software architect returning back to native land
thinking of doing good to his land but ends up beaten by the system and corrupt
people. The whole film talks about black money and its harmful effect – that
was Rajnikant starrer – Sivaji- the boss.
Not any filmy post but post on Srivaishnava youths involved in
kainkaryam unto HIM. In
the mystic holy land of Thiruvalikkeni -
for many life revolves around Sri
Parthasarathi swami thirukkovil !! 3
photos here depict kids with Kutti Perumal and another some youngsters on the
occasion of Sri Azhagiya Singar thiruther – all in 2016. 8 years have passed by, lots of things have
happened. [these are random photos and not representative of all those kainkaryabarargal]
The good news is almost all these people seen in the photos are
still active continuing their Sripadham and other kainkaryam to Emperuman Sri
Parthasarathi. Yes graduating from Kutti
Perumal to the real Emperuman, Sripadham kainkaryam with flair in shouldering
big heavy vahanams. The real flavour in
life for these youngsters and many hundreds more is doing kainkaryam to
Emperuman.
Poliga, poliga, poliga, these youngsters and the rich Srivaishnava
tradition.

ReplyDeleteI cannot concur more with the author! I congratulate the Sri Vaishnavas in Thiruallukeni for the effort so many of them take to pass this baton to forthcoming generations! Sri Parthasarathy is so adorable with all his companions that we many a time feel a ray of Sri Vaikunta descends upon Allikeni, whenever emperuman or the Adiyars come out to give a glimpse to the thirsty Vaishnava eyes🙏🏻
ReplyDeletethanks for the nice words & sentiments - Shivarishi Ji
