He was not happy and he was worried about his cheerful and optimistic co-passenger.įilm Companion has previously interviewed the author. Aditya had a lot to deal with emotionally and was given the task of running a company that was in its last days. He came from a broken home, his girlfriend was marrying someone else, and he couldn’t bare to look at his mother, let alone understand her decision to leave his father and him and marry someone else. A Hindi film hero who’s not filmy? Now that’s an anomaly!Īditya was more intense and broodingly than his female counterpart. Our hero was, for the most part, quite different from any male lead in Hindi commercial cinema. Sure, he went through some ‘slightly’ dramatic changes after crossing paths with Geet and invariably getting influenced by her choices and words. Aditya was more quiet, more serious, and a no-nonsense person. This was despite him being the male lead. I wanted to make light of it, for people to take a step back and laugh at it, instead of panicking.īoth men noted how this weather event compelled many to voice their viewpoints online, as is the case with COVID-19.Shahid Kapoor‘s Aditya was perhaps the most subdued of all characters that were a part of the movie. My commentary there was (that) its post-2020 vulnerability, Labaupa said. Labaupa wonders if the public may have been more easily riled up by the storm given the collective trauma of the past couple of years. Theyve been coming in by boatload from all different areas, said Labaupa, who works in sales and marketing and is a leader in Manitobas angling community.īoth Bezoplenko and Labaupa pondered Manitobans reactions to this storm in the context of the pandemic. Labaupas videos show him as a news anchor presenting short weather report clips submitted to him by Manitobans and North Dakotans braving and taking cracks at the blizzard. I agree to the Terms and Conditions, Cookie and Privacy Policies, and CASL agreement. I wanted to put something out there thats more positive. Im not trying to make any kind of commentary, per se, on whether there was a lack of snow or if it was underwhelming or anything like that its more to poke fun at the whole situation, Labaupa said. When he saw no snow to speak of, he became inspired to make his first satirical #snowmageddon2022 newscast video. Wednesday in anticipation of a fierce storm. I am able-bodied, so I can get around fairly easily, Bezoplenko said.Įric Labaupa, 43, found himself looking to the sky outside his South Pointe home at 3 a.m. I do recognize that the (storm) warnings maybe arent for everyone in the same way.
Ahead of the storm, he purchased a few more grocery items than usual and didnt go into work on Wednesday. The storm has had a mild impact on Bezoplenko.
He believes the buildup to the storm, from barren milk aisles in grocery stores to the pre-emptive closures of libraries to press conferences with Winnipegs mayor, likely contributed to the meme frenzy. It does feel like its that all-or-nothing approach that people kind of get drawn into in the online world, like we all have to be on the same page about how bad this storm is, or how bad it could be, Bezoplenko said. In some instances, Bezoplenko sees memes as a way to assume a neutral stance on a topical or hotly contested issue a way to contribute to the conversation without necessarily taking a side. People can tend to take things pretty seriously, so it cuts through some of the emotion. ∾very once in a while, theres some shared experience for people in Winnipeg, and I think memes are a funny way to add onto other peoples humour, Bezoplenko said. The 35-year-old small business owner posted an image to the Winnipeg subreddit of three orangutans that appear to be in conversation with one another on the set of a talk show. Nathan Bezoplenko turned to the user-driven platform, Reddit, to give his own take on the storm. Two Manitobans who shared their spin on Manitoba storm memes say theres often more to these posts than just laughs.
