Kajol's Pigeon

1996 · 3m

Kajol is a star actress in Indian movies. I discovered a strange scene when I was watching a video of a movie she was in. In one scene of a musical, Kajol throws a dove into the sky, which then falls to the ground. This would not be OK on a Japanese movie set. So I thought about the differences between Indian and Japanese movies. By the way, I read in a book that there is a goddess of cinema in India. I guess she protects Indian movies. So, is there no god of cinema in Japan? Oh, but not of cinema, there is a god of dance. I started writing a screenplay with this goddess, Ame-no-Uzume, as the main character, but the Yatagarasu, the guide for nation building, fell to the ground, and the story ended happily.
