  • TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1977 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 'Aparajito' testifies to Ray's Bengali debt by V1JAYASAMARAWF1 RA Measured bv the number of films ptx .lueed per year. India has for long been the venter of the largest film industry of the world. Until Satyajit Ray made Ins remarkable debut before the international film audience with his "Pathar Panchali" at the Cannes Film festival in I956, the Indian cinema was summarily dismissed in the Western world as parochial, without any redeeming artistic or technical merits. "Pathar Panchali" swept aside this judgement (it won the Cannes Speeial Award). It not only brought to the attention of the Western audiences the work of a man who soon came to be recognized as one of the modern masters of lhe medium but also locussed on the vitality and the powerful impact of the ethnic cinema of India. "Pathar Panchali" ("The Ballad of the Road," 1955), "Aparajito" ("The Unvanquished," 1956) and "Apu Sansar" ("The World of Apu," 1959) forms Ray's well-known trilogy. The basis for the trilogy was the novel "Pathar Panchali." the work of one of the outstanding Bengali writers, Bibhutibhushan Banncrji. Ray himself has acknowledged that the novel lacks the dramatic Structure, the single unified episode characteristic of the idiom. He was, however, attracted to it by its loving descriptions of rural life 'and the subtle relationships that it charters of the different descriptions of rural life and the subtle relationships ihat it charters of the different members of a high-caste Bengali family. THE FIRST PART of the trilogy, "Pathar Panchali," chronicled the family's struggle against poverty and the heartbreaks of life. The second part of the trilogy, "Aparajito" (which won. among others, the Venice Grand Prix in 1957) begins with GI Bill revised Dear Editor, Many former servicemen and women among your readers may be eligible for additional educational entitlement because of a recent revision in the GI Bill. The new law provides nine additional months of GI Bill eligibility to most veterans who were originally entitled to 36 months of VA educational assistance. Because these benefits are subject to an expiration date, the Veterans Administration is making every effort to insure that all eligible veterans are aware of them. Your assistance in alerting those who may be affected will be appreciated. The new legislation does not change that portion of the law requiring that a veteran must use his GI Bill benefits within ten years of his discharge from service. Therefore, veterans who have been out of the military service for ten years or more are not eligible for the additional benefits. The Veterans Administration estimates that 6.1 million veterans are currently eligible for GI Bill benefits, including 3.8 million who have used part of their eligibility and 2.3 million who have not taken advantage of it at all. We are particularly anxious, however, to reach the half-million men and women who used the maximum 36 months of eligibility to which they were entitled prior to enactment of the new legislation. They may now be entitled to an additional nine months of educational benefits. We urge all veterans eligible under the criteria outlined above to contact the Veterans Administration for further details of this new entitlement. H.W. Johnson Regional Director Veterans Administration the settling down of the family in lhe liolv city of Benares and deals with the attainment of manhood of the son of the family. Apu. lhe death of the lather removes Aptl and bis mother back to the village where Apu is trained by his grand-uncle to take up the family tradition of priesthood, lhe idyllic village life was not for Apu and he eventually leaves the village for lhe great city of Calcutta for his higher studies, leaving behind bis mother who dies in his absence. Using professional and, as before, amateur actors. Ray unfolds the story with powerful rhythm (which may at times seem loo slow to the Westerner) and with his unobtrusive techniques and the deep compassion for his characters, he brings out what is undoubted!) a unique poetic record of Indian life. RAY'S WORLD is Bengali, the dynamic people who through history have made a profound contribution to Indian civilization. "Aparajito" once again testifies to Ray's debt to Bengali culture. It also reveals his deep sensitivity and feeling, not only to the urban ethos in which he lives, but also to village life. The music for "Aparajito" was composed by Ravi Shankar. who is perhaps now the best known contemporary Indian musician in the West. "Aparajito" will be presented by the Film Conspiracy on March 1 at Forsyth Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. The admission charge will be $1.
