The Party - Historical Context in Filmmaking
Director:
You ready? Action!
Director: [jumps to his feet; very patiently]
Cut, damn it! Cut! Mr. Bakshi.
Hrundi V. Bakshi:
Yes, sir.
Director:
Has it occurred to you...that the period of our picture is 1878?
Hrundi V. Bakshi:
Yes, indeed, sir. I am well aware...that that is the period of the film.
Director:
Mr. Bakshi, are you also aware...that in 1878 they weren't wearing underwater watches?
Hrundi V. Bakshi:
Yes, sir. I know that. They had not even been invented.
Director:
You got the time?
Hrundi V. Bakshi: [looks at his watch; freezes]
Yes, it's... oh, my God.

You.

Hrundi V. Bakshi:
Does that include television, sir?
