Review of Two

Two (1965 TV Short)
8/10
Holds true even in 2022

This film validates my belief in the importance of scarcity.

You need to live in scarcity at least for some phase in your life. It inculcates the value of building instead of breaking things. This also made me recall a quote from The Fellowship of the Ring.

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom" - Gandalf

Satyajit Ray's Two metaphorically represents many situations of difference in stature and violent egoist mentality. It can be a rich country gunning down a poor country, it can be a toxic colleague at your workplace trying to pull you down, or just a friend who is not able to digest you're better than him at something.

But the message is loud and clear, your relentless love and melody will eventually break the hollow ego of malevolent men like a house of cards.

And after that, they're left with nothing but regret.
