The Lullaby (Main Gaon Tu Chup Jo Ha)


In rewatching looking to find the shaved facial hair scenes, I suddenly paid attention to this song for the first time. Totally un-subtle, but look at what's happening. All nature is singing this lullaby, especially with the rubbing twigs being a violin, and the spider webs, and wind blowing the window.

As I say, it's kind of slap in the face obvious, but I had not paid attention before. Fun.

and ofcourse the rubbing twigs are also a parallel to the string instrument we're used to seeing Champa play.

Yes, indeed.

My naive eurocentric mind is showing. Despite having done a previous search to try to figure out exactly what that instrument was (somewhat unsuccessful), I realize that I had it tagged in my mind as "that violin thingamajig".

Imagine how embarrassed I am - I should know the name but dont.

I like the cinematographic execution of this song very much. This is the aftermath after the intoxicated convicts tried to molest Champa and to kill Adinath.

For me it means nature is caressed by the wind like the children are caressed by Champa and nature's sounds are soothing like Champa's lullaby. Remember how later in this sequence the animals care soothingly for their offspring and when the children have quieted down, so have the calve, the pups and the chicks. All are sleeping. I like such symbolism generated by "intellectual montage".
