"Two" by Satyajit Ray

- In 1964, renowned filmmaker Satyajit Ray was asked to create a short film for ‘ESSO World Theater’, a cultural showcase presented on television and funded by the American oil company Esso. Asked to write and direct the film in English, Ray opted instead to make a film without words. The result is a poignant fable of friendship and rivalry. As he did for many of his films, Ray composed the music for the film, including the haunting tune played on the flute.
After Satyajit Ray was awarded an Honorary Academy Award in 1992, the Academy embarked on an ambitious endeavor to preserve the works of the Bengali filmmaker. “Two,” also known as “Parable of Two,” is part of the Academy’s Satyajit Ray Collection (www.oscars.org/film-archive/co..., which includes 18 feature films directed by Ray and preserved by the Archive.
Though Ray worked exclusively on 35mm, “Two” may have been filmed on 16mm, as it was created specifically for television. After an exhaustive search for elements relating to the film, three 16mm prints were found. From the 16mm print with the least wear and tear, courtesy of the Austrian Film Museum, a preservation negative was struck. “Two” was then digitally scanned and picture clean up and restoration were performed to eliminate scratches. The 16mm film’s poor audio was also restored. The film is now preserved and available to screen theatrically on 16mm or as a digital cinema package (DCP). Now, audiences everywhere can see this obscure gem, preserved by the Academy Film Archive, from master filmmaker Satyajit Ray.

@@samyogadhikari2748you wasted 10 seconds writing this line 😅
The rich kid tries to impose his superiority (his idea of happiness) over the poor kid by showing off his materialistic possessions to feel good about himself. Thus he picks up a "fight". He tries to break him as hard as he can. However, the poor kid doesn't lose his spirit and decides to keep himself happy with everything "little" he has. In the end, the rich kid accepts his defeat with a realization that he's not content. Also, him withdrawing himself from his toys, and the tower falling is shown as a metaphor for his defeat and his inability to find joy despite having "everything". "Two" explains the duality of happiness. One that comes from possessions and the other that comes from within.
Thank u bro
so apt bro
Damn bro thank u
Wow! Well said @Aditya J
Itni sari english likhi hai to sahi hi hoga😌
The rich living behind bars, while the poor seemed free, and happy. But the rich kids can't seem to find joy, despite all the possessions.
Mo Mo creative way of thinking.
Thanks for explanation
One of my thoughts is that the rich kid seems to be going one better than the poor kid with his possessions every time, but he doesn't have anything similar to the kite, representing the poor kid's freedom, so he tries to shoot it down out of jealousy perhaps
This is the way of life. Its shows how our society functions. Its not only about rich and poor, its about how a person reacts to another person. Someone's happiness someone's sorrow.
Well said!!!!!!!
It's sad how many viewers don't realise that this short film is a subtle portrayal of the *American-Vietnam War* 🇺🇸🇻🇳 by Ray with classic usage of symbolism and metaphors.
At the beginning, look at the *Mickey Mouse cap* and *Coca Cola* symbolising the US. The rich kid is shown to have all the materialistic joys of life yet is insecured by the poor kid's happiness (Much like the US intrusion in Vietnam)....His *loud toys* symbolise the advanced weapons against whom the simple flute, kite etc. is no match..... But at the end, we all know what happened in history, as the rich kid sits lost in the music of the flute and his "toys" crumble down...👏👏👏
____________________________
True. Many people don't realise this after watching it but Ray subtly showed many parallels to the vietnam war
thanks for sharing 😊😊
Everyone knows bro.
You know that very few people know about the reference of the America-Vietnam war in this short film but almost 90% of the people know about the reference who have watched this piece.
Also, the way the rich kid gunned down the kite parallels to Martin Luther King's statement about the escalation of the war in Vietnam "the promises of the Great Society have been shot down on the battlefield of Viet Nam"
US intrusion in vietnam is only to control communist growth.
Classism, colonialism, capitalism - in 12 minutes with no words, enacted by two kids.
Yours truly, Satyajit Ray.
How do you know this repesents all those things?
It's funny how cool it has become to insult capitalism while enjoying all the benefits of Capitalism. If it wasn't for capitalism and the technological revolution it brought legends like Satyajit Ray would've been a nobody.

"Cast
Ravi Kiran as rich kid
Un-credited street kid" - Wikipedia
the irony is that to this day the poor is still awaiting the credit!
I don't think a renowned and pro realist filmmaker like Ray would purposefully not give credit to anyone. It could be so that the street kid or his family didn't want to have their name out in public, since working in films at that time was seen as heinous and not as glamorous as it is today.
It could also be so that the street kid was unable to introduce himself properly and was hence, just used in the film without crediting.

@@rishabhrox1 @rishabhrox1 just bc he was a good director doesn't mean he's a good human being too.
@@views-qw9tf
Yeah, and it's not necessary that he was a bad human being either.
Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. I have personally never heard even rumors of Ray being an asshole to anyone in the industry. I'm sure if he didn't credit the child there must be a good reason behind it.
The rich kid acting skills are amazing. I mean look at 8:56 . Look at that smile full of pride, and how fast and natural it changes to that facial expression of contempt against the poor kid. And again at 9:43 its impressive how he manages to smile with such cruelty and a childish arrogance that even for an adult would be extremely challenging to do.
Couldn't agree more.
Exactly gotta appreciate his skills
True.. both were so talented ❤
And most of his cast had not any acting experience.
@@sumanbepari609 power of ray
Seeing the boy reel in his torn kite is so.... heart-wrenching.. I know what a toy is to a kid... especially if he has so few... a prized possession.. a big part of his world. Whenever I feel myself getting materialistic, I come to this video...to remember what matters.
Spot on!
That was heart breaking seeing hes expression.
Reminds me of The Ball Poem by John Berryman

It ain't just that, it's also a summary of US Vietnam war
@@rajneesh8960 how?
@@darkmemes953 No matter how desperately US (Rich guy) was trying to put down the Poor guy (Vietnam) with all his might and weapons (toys), Vietnam didn't care and didn't surrender.
Quite a good analogy I must say.
@@Brajgamer Ik, but where does South Vietnam fit in this analogy?
Tbh, i don't see people of 90's giving him much credit as he deserved. Seems like our older generation weren't too concerned about reality. They rather indulged in romantic movies whose plot revolved around fictious storytelling about two people.
Satyajit Ray deserved an Oscar, rightly so
In the end when you hear the poor boy playing the flute, the camera moves and shows the robot toy marching to the tune of the flute, this gives the impression of soldiers marching with a band. In reality the rich kid owns the toy but it seems as if the poor kid is the one who is using it the right way. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Thanks for explaining
yes
Back in the days when movies were considered art not commercial commodity
and they showed deep meaning and not some hero superiority!
When movies only consider as art then who gives money for making it. you?
Tis short film is sponsored by Coca Cola. .. drink at the beginning itself. ..🥳🤗
Shin Chan it was used to support the funding of the movie, not to sell the ideas that people want to consume. All modern Bollywood movies are basically fan service with no base to them.
Do you know that an entire movie was made by artists only? Its name is Saaj and a lot of famous artists have acted in it
The rich can also be caged, the poor can also be free.
these words speaks so much
True
Nice
Good Afternoon my child,
HAHAHAHAHAAAA,
You are damn right and now doubt, you got the tremendous right opinion about the present Movies and Directors.
You are absolutely right and that's the reason they can never reach the Satyajit Roy's Tower of glory.
Blessings,
from your Uncle- Uma
You are right
When nerds indulge themselves in creating something extraordinary, they give birth to masterpieces. Such a great concept and ending
It's not "only" about Vietnam War, it's not "only" about the rich vs poor. Ultimate storyline is the kid's realisation about himself, a caged robot - and that is way more important in this story imo.
Poverty only changes affordability, It does not change aspirations.
Damn true
Right
Great lines..... Or even I can say great quotation
Rightly said
Very true
Wow. Poverty, ego,equal rights , beliefs and motivation in 12 mins. Master is always master. satyajit ray is legend .
Exactly
And freedom
Yes excatly bro
Or grib jb aage badhe to use kese niche khinchna ye bhi
can you explain it
This is the greatest short film ever made because due to the fact of how seamlessly pulls so many ideas in 12 minutes. From the Vietnam war and societal class to even the meaning of happiness. It's haunting and it's a masterpiece.
The rich lad's portrayal of the United States was really spot on.
Satyajit Ray was an absolute gem. Beautiful.
That rich kid's acting is far better than 90% of today's bollywood actors.
Yes off course 🙂😂
He's just natural
What about poor kid
@@S0gr he's phenomenal
Right. He gave super complex expression at such tender age.
i just want to breathe the air of that era.
My father has been lucky. I'm from Bengal, not a Bengali tho. You know what, my grandfather says he has met satyajit ray at the age of 38 at a post-office...
Same. Must be fresh.
When I watch such old serials and movies I feel like I am a child again and feel my first family with me
Cleaner ,otherwise the same.
for some bizzare reason i feel that air must be full of different smells.. some burnt coal.. some cooking food..of heated asphalt from flaming hot summer..the noises of that time must be so minimal and soothing
Probably after a decade, CZcams recommended me something good 👍
It's not only about rich and poor, there's another aspect to it, one trying to be happy with material belongings another living life minimalist and taking life as it comes. A spiritual life looks poor from the perspective of material life and vice versa. Another beautiful aspect of Ray sir is he makes a barebone script and lets audience indulge in their own perspectives. 💎
The director is the Only person who knows what the film is about.

This is an art which has different interpretations varying from person to person

He would have got a heart attack after knowing that more than 90% things in a cinema are done with goddamn VFX these days. VFX artists are contributing more in a film than a filmmaker which is really awful. Baji Rao Mastani, Padmavat in Bollywood and Mank in Hollywood. But on those days Ray, Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Kurosawa used to achieve special effects manually on their own with meticulous dedication and hard work which they used to do themselves. This had made them the Real Masters of Cinema.Kudos.

Happiness is largely a mental stage. The great philosophy of Indian sages reflected through this film.
Thanks to the Oscar's. For saving this masterpiece.

This story is actually explaining many things
Like

And colonialism and how refugee and immigrants of their colonial past are treated

As stated above. The movie was lost and gone. I was called by a University Professor close to SFO that teaches Ray filmography in 2007 for an interview on the methodologies that SR used in direction. I wanted to see the movie then to recapitulate the direction and was shown this restored movie. I saw it with my son after 43 years, Thank Oscars' for revival.

The rich kid first hears the poor kid playing the flute. After he seemingly "defeats" the poor with his superior toys and destroys the kite eventually, he goes back happy feeling victorious. But finally hears the same flute music from the poor kid. Showing that the poor kid's spirit is still unbroken and undefeatable even after all that materialistic superiority that the rich kid showed off.. ✌️🙂. This is what I think Ray meant, guys.

What a genius Ray was. In about 10/12 mins he makes you invest in the characters in a way that I don't think the Love Aaj Kaal or Daabang 3 generation of film makers will even understand. In 12 mins he leaves you with a feeling of having seen something that touched you. Hats off Sir.
Art and greed for money are two different things. Ray did it for art and you know what it means

Just wanting each other to be approached and feel important and share the belonging. Brought back so many memories. A true image of childhood innocence.
Few other countries might remember Satyajit Ray, but we(Bengalis or Indian) have happily moved to some other environment or other planet. Today's every box-office hit Bengali or Indian film is nowhere near to Ray's any film. That describes everything. Needless to say, how "Two" bears same kind of hallmark like any other film of Ray with his priceless direction.

This is the best way to relate how bollywood (the rich kid) have been trying to supress the regional small budget films(the poor guy).... But ending with dissatisfaction and harm towards itself.
Satyajit have always been trying to show us the future with his works...but we were busy doing something more important.
yes, indeed this is a great short flim.
True..man.
The joy of oppressing the poor kid gives the wealthy kid a sense of security but all his wealth is of meaning unless there is someone poorer than him

Your climax also suits the story very much
Yes a beautiful idea indeed 👍
Good idea.
A perfect documentary, without Satyajit Ray, it could never be made. He is really a genius for whom we Bengali people are proud of. Only a twelve minutes, that teaches us a life lesson, persuing happiness comes from inside, that abstract feelings never comes from the possessions we hold on our hands or displays for our room decorations.
I just want to give a bow to this poor boy actor. He has mastered the expression so beautifully. And obviously I am speechless to witness the use of metaphor by our Ray.
This film is made during the Vietnam War, experts believe that the film makes “a strong anti-war statement” as it ends with street kid’s flute sound overpowering sound of expensive toys. Now no need to say who is Vietnam here and who is the spoiled rich kid :D
@Abhishek shukla he said the same thing, don't try to overdo it.
@Abhishek shukla I think you know deep down you are not that smart and just wanna be smart. But don't give up. If you wanna be smart you will be. Just don't try to act like one when you clearly are not. Be real. Be authentic. That's more respectable than being smart
This short film was a symbolic representation of Vietnam War. The rich kid symbolises 1st world powers and the poor kid symbolises 3rd world countries. Great piece of creativity by the genius Ray.
absolutely right

This silent story shows many complexity and layer of society.

A representation of two way of living within the same society. Knowingly and unknowingly, director has produced how new way of living is supplanting and replacing existing way of life. At one side we have capitalist and consumerism and othe side have indigenous and tribal, self sufficient values
Satyajit Ray is the reason I feel proud to say I'm a Bengali.

This wonderful short story by Satyajit Ray is showing the two sides of society through the "Two". One the privileged rich class boy and his dominant behaviour and other is the simple poor tribal boy who shows happiness is in simple things and in simple emotions.
Masterpiece ♥️

"Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in this world without watching the sun or the moon"
- Akira Kurosawa
I would urge everyone , who have come here to experience this enthralling immutable work of Ray , to go through a book called 'Our Films , Their Flims' by Mr.Ray . He profoundly expresses his discernable ideas about the 'Art'. And , the universality of silent films ,which by imposition, and advent ,of audio has got depleted its all-appealing open ended character.
Edited : Wanted to quote the exact words.

Nowadays an intellectual artist mind is quite rare in the industry. Film makers failed to follow his legendary trail. Rip Indian Cinema😢.
@Damian Patriot Race 3 surpasses everything. That's a different league altogether.
Don't agree, there are some great filmographers today as well. Films like Newton, Kahaani, Black are some really thoughtful films. And you don't even know about the short films in India. THEY ARE AWESOME. Try some Indian short films.
making a movie is very tough.. for a normal person to do a movie in India is to submit his whole life into films.. it's very easy to criticise a movie but doing a movie needs lot of dedication, hard work, brilliance, talent and some luck too.
Why don't you try writing some screenplay.. then u ll understand the hardship of film making
The thing is we only scratch the surface but do not dig deeper. Every period of time has its own masterpiece. You'll have to dig deeper. There's art for the classes and art for the masses
@@martygusto3056 I don't think I have seen any Masterpiece from Bollywood recently . Most of them are just huge pile of shit . Though there are some good movies but even they are decent at best .
proud to be a Bengali..
Satyajit Roy will always a legendary one..
Take love Roy sir..
It's Ray
Le liya tera love. Ab khuss
@@AmarjeetKumar-en1gkRoy is original pronunciation of his name in Bengali.
@@raymonddarhk20The pronunciation is Raay.
@@anirbanmallick6678It's pronounced *Rai* anyways.
This short film was made during the Vietnam war. It shows how USA (the rich kid) tried to mess with Vietnam (the poor kid) and ended up losing the war badly.

Satyajit was/is/will be the greatest Indian Director ever
4:15 "Finally, a worthy opponent"
*FUN FACT:-*
* Satyajit Ray sir decided to make a *movie in late 1960s "THE ALIEN". It* *was to be co-produced by Hollywood* *production 'Columbia pictures' but* *eventually movie got cancelled. In the* *late 1980s Steven Spielberg stole this* *idea and made 'E.T:- the extraterrestrial',* *which was later remade in bollywood as* *"koi mil gya'*
Thre is a story by other writer in bengali like koi mil gaya
Wish Satyajit sir would've made that !
Just enjoy the movie there were hundreds of science fiction alien based stories and novels in western culture from 100s of year and I really dont think india has made much of science fictions in early 1900s and and alien science fiction doesnt feel like satyajit ray's style
He is more of artistic and classy
A series of thief 🤣
@@geeks4all507 satyajit ray has always written creative stories even fantasies....for example goopy gyne bagha byne....so a wonderful story such as that of et is quite expected to be satyajit ray's creation...though i dont approve of the blame suggesting plagiarism i know very less abouy
That ending was chilling!
I saw your comment before finishing it. I was afraid chubby was gonna shoot him
me too.
itsaguinness then it wouldn't have been a Ray film
same here
itsaguinness you shouldn't read comments be you watch the full thing, I used to do it but then stopped... ☮️
Where normal people stopped thinking, Satyajit Roy started.
Oh this is deep. For me the Message was even the person who wants to destroy others happiness for showing its own power, ultimately realizes that after destroying others , he has no one to get fun from. The destroyers happiness is not forever. This Message repeats when the toy brings down the blocks and can go no further itself
