84) Given below are two statements :

Statement I :

In a non‐egalitarian society, the cinema house in India, emerged as the first democratic space, where anyone could get in
and be together for a few hours without the distinction of caste, class or religion. Anyone who could afford a ticket could go
and watch a film. From the time cinema emerged as popular entertainment, the response of the upper class was one of
disdain. Film entertainment was ‘low culture’ for them.

Statement II : Few other art forms have been subject to Spectatorship and the reactions generated by all film‐viewing
public were going to have a major impact not only on the political framework of India but also on all the other art forms that
have existed so far. The upper class embraced the democratic approach of cinema and encouraged Indian cinema to grow
in popularity.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

[Question ID = 34284][Question Description = S1_SAAM_235_MA_Q084]

85) Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is
labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : In the matter of background music, it is meaningless to worry about
rules laid down for singing or playing pure classical music, as
background music need not be assessed as pure music at all.
However, if the background music it provides can match the mood
of the film, it is not just music, but music that has been entirely
successful in achieving its goal.
Reason R : Classical musicians are not competent to handle the variety of
moods and associations required for the assembly of shots that
constitute the film viewing experience. It is better to leave this area
to self‐taught lay musicians.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below :

[Question ID = 34285][Question Description = S1_SAAM_235_MA_Q085]

86) Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is
labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Andrzej Wajda says : Every director in the world wants to do
something original. Each of us tries to look at the world with our
own eyes, but our task is made difficult because other, more
original and talented artists have come before us and taken away
some of the freshness of vision. One day I was flying from Palermo
to Rome, thirty thousand feet up, when I saw through the plane
window a sky that was blood red and green; a mystical sunset.
I was revelling in the joy of that moment of perfection when
I realized that I had already seen that same sky, not from a
plane but in a painting by Mattias Grunewald, his magnificent
Crucifixion.

Reason R : A film maker sometimes want to do something so original that
audience are going to watch it for the very first time. But anyone’s
exposure to the world of art is always incomplete. Therefore it is
mystic and incorrect to think I want to create something complete
original.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below :

[Question ID = 34286][Question Description = S1_SAAM_235_MA_Q086]

[Option ID = 185010]

87) Given below are two statement :

Statement I: Aristotale in his 'Poetics' maintains that poetry has sprung from the mimetic impulse and the instinct for

harmony and rhythem. Earlier Plato had concluded in the 'Republic' that the real artist who knew what he was imitating
would be intrested in realities and not in imitations.

Statement II: Such ancient doctrines of imitation are not opposed to the expressionist thesis. They recognize, perheps,
implicity, that the artist present his evaluative interpretation of reality, and thereby is expressing his feeling and sense of
values.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below :

[Question ID = 34287][Question Description = S1_SAAM_235_MA_Q087]

91) Answer the questions based on the following paragraph :

Silent era comedies were full of prat falls, sight gags, and the classic “slipping on a banana peel” shtick. Cinema icons
Buster Keaton and Herold Lloyd built their careers upon this slapstick form of comedy, but where Chaplin differs from his
fellow comedians is how his brand of comedy affected audiences on a psychological level.

There are many different theories of humour from philosophers like Sigmund Freud and Mikhail Bakhtin, but the
one that seems to make the most sense within the context of silent era slapstick comedy is that of English philosopher
Thomas Hobbes “superiority theory” (which also traces back to Plato and Aristotle). It suggests that humans take delight in
other people’s misfortunes as a way to feel superior – giggling via schadenfreude, as it were. We laugh at the muscle‐bound
dude who slips and falls in front of his date, because he’s big and we’re not.

However, this wasn’t the case for Chaplin’s iconic character, The Tramp. Instead, he made audiences laugh
because they related to his suffering, and laughter and according to Harvard Professor George Eman Vaillant, is a defense
mechanism that allows people to explore and talk about things that are unpleasant and painful. The way Chaplin
incorporated tragedy into his comedies gave audiences someone they could truly identify with as they struggled to survive
the Great Depression.

Chaplin’s comedic explorations into the human condition transformed cinema, mostly comedies, from a mere
novelty into a poetic art form, because his films were able to address real issues with dimensional characters in a way that
made them easier to talk about. In other words, his films might’ve been funny because The Tramp wore big shoes and a
tiny jacket, but they were great because he was too impoverished to afford anything else – and that was something
audiences at the time could really understand.
It kind of makes one of Chaplin’s most famous quotes more poignant than ever :
“Life is tragedy when seen in close‐up, but a comedy in long‐shot.”

Still, Chaplin was banned from the U.S. Instead of fighting to re‐enter the country, Chaplin decided to make his
home in Switzerland and released a statement about his experience. “...... Since the end of the last world war, I have
been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America’s
yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal‐minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted.
Under these conditions I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion‐picture work, and I have therefore given up my
residence in the United States.”

96) Answer the question based on the following paragraph :

Bhakti movements were binding factors and they bind together. But at the same time they tried to free people
from the shackles of exploitation. There is a famous song influenced by Tagore’s Geetanjali in Bengal: “let my head bow
down at your sacred feet, let all my ahankar be dissolved in my tears.” In that poem he says, “unite me with everything;
but free me from all bonds.” In one of the songs, saint Appar says when he is on his way to Siva temple, he has to pass
through the forest and he sees an elephant couple making love. He says, “Here I had the vision of Siva”. Tagore says, “Let
me be united to everything,”at the same time, “let me not be bound by anything or anybody”, which indeed, is the spirit
of the Bhakti Movement. On the one hand they freed people from shackles of ignorance, superstition and exploitation. At
the same time they united different sections of people. One of the banes of Indian society was the caste system. Today we
talk of dalit theatre, women’s theatre and so on. A Bhakti movement produced the first dalit art. The first women’s theatre
in India again was a product of Bhakti movement. One of the earliest Tamil poets of Saivism was Karaikkal Ammaiyar, who
wrote great spiritual poetry. In the North we have great women saint poets like Meerabai of Rajasthan, Lalleswari of Kashmir
and Jinabai, Bahinabai and others of Maharashtra. It liberated the exploited sections of Indian society, sundras and
untouchables, women and tribals. The last Bhakti movement in India was in fact started by a tribal saint called Bimapur in
Orissa. It was again an anti‐temple movement. The call was, “don’t worship the wooden images” which was a reaction
against the temple of Jagannath, where the lord is worshipped in a wooden form. Bhakti was a movement of a great scale
which was to transform every aspect of human life.
