沒有預算藍調

安德拉（Andra）與最近的電影拉尼（Rani）一起開始了周五的哭泣。在她的朋友看電影時，卡斯（Cass）在她的哭泣中刻畫了什麼。被許多人讚不絕口；從1月30日至2月14日發行之日起，SL Cinema歷史上的最高數量已經是1億盧比。這最後一個：證明了其流行的吸引力和作為傑出的電影成就的吸引力和接受。

Veteran film critic Cassandra Fernando, in her latest ‘Coin’, reflects on the recent film ‘Rani’, which has garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success.

資深電影評論家卡桑德拉·費爾南多（Cassandra Fernando）在她的最新“硬幣”中反思了最近的電影《拉尼》（Rani），該電影既獲得好評又獲得了商業上的成功。

While acknowledging the film's impressive box office performance, grossing over Rs 100 million in a short span of time, Fernando confesses that she has yet to see the film. However, she reveals that her reluctance to join the cinema crowds stems from a growing distaste after viewing short previews on YouTube.

費爾南多承認，在承認這部電影令人印象深刻的票房表演時，票房超過了1億盧比，但她承認她尚未看這部電影。但是，她透露，她不願意加入電影人群的人群在觀看YouTube上的簡短預覽後日益增長的厭惡。

Fernando expresses her concern that director Asoka Handagama may have sensationalised certain aspects of the tragedy, particularly Swarna Mallawarachchi's portrayal of Manorani, who is frequently depicted drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. She suggests that this may have been done to cater to the crowd's preferences.

費爾南多（Fernando）表示她擔心的是導演阿索卡·漢達加馬（Asoka Handagama）可能對悲劇的某些方面感到震驚，尤其是斯沃納·馬拉瓦拉奇（Swarna Mallawarachchi）對曼諾拉尼（Manorani）的刻畫，後者經常被描述為飲酒和吸煙。她建議這樣做可能是為了滿足人群的喜好。

She observes that Sri Lankans are generally expressive in their grief, often engaging in writhing, moaning, and appeals to the deceased. However, she finds this behaviour to be excessive and amusing, imagining the chaos that would ensue if the dead were to actually respond to these requests.

她觀察到，斯里蘭卡人通常在悲傷中表現出富有表現力，經常扭動，mo吟和對死者的吸引力。但是，她發現這種行為過度且有趣，想像如果死者實際回應這些請求，那會隨之​​而來的混亂。

Fernando highlights the preference for fictionalised retellings of events over documentaries, which is evident in Handagama's styling of the film as fictionalised history. Despite this, she feels that the director is guilty of sensationalism, which is a sentiment that has been echoed in a recent Face Book criticism shared with her by a nephew.

費爾南多（Fernando）強調了對事件的虛構述說而不是紀錄片的偏愛，這在漢達加瑪（Handagama）的電影風格中很明顯，這是虛構的歷史。儘管如此，她覺得導演犯了轟動，這是一種在最近的侄子與她分享的臉書批評中所回應的情緒。

The message, titled "Misconceived, Misinterpreted, Miscast and a Big Mistake," succinctly encapsulates the critique. However, Fernando chooses not to reveal the critic's name due to the prevalence of truth, lies, and hidden agendas on social media.

該消息的標題為“錯誤的，誤解，錯誤的錯誤和一個大錯誤”，簡潔地封裝了批評。但是，費爾南多（Fernando）因在社交媒體上的真理，謊言和隱藏的議程而選擇不透露評論家的名字。

The critic expresses their opinion about two people that many knew, loved, and respected, and goes on to point out mistakes and exaggerations. They state that Manorani was never even bordering on alcoholism and hardly ever smoked. And when she did, socially or to dim her sorrow, she did it elegantly.

評論家對許多人認識，愛和尊重的兩個人表示了看法，並繼續指出錯誤和誇張。他們指出，Manorani甚至從未與酒精中毒相吻合，幾乎沒有吸煙。當她這樣做時，社交或使她的悲傷變暗時，她做到了。

A Man Friday commented that they should have taught Swarna how to hold a cigarette and smoke it as it should be smoked. Hence my contention, every coin, even a box office success, has two sides to it, two diverse criticisms and in-betweens.

一個男人星期五評論說，他們應該教施瓦爾納如何拿著香煙並抽煙。因此，我的爭論，每一個硬幣，甚至是票房的成功，都有兩個方面，兩種不同的批評和遇到的批評。

Each morn

每個早晨

I phoned a US living friend who was recovering from a harsh winter’s gift to her – severe flu. She said the flu was leaving her but depression and distraught-ness about hers and the US’s future were threatening to drown her in emotional turmoil much worse than the worst cough ‘n cold.

我打電話給一個美國活著的朋友，他正在從嚴酷的冬天禮物中恢復給她 - 嚴重的流感。她說，流感離開了她，但對她的沮喪和心煩意亂，美國的未來威脅要把她淹沒在情緒動盪中，比最嚴重的咳嗽更糟。

I knew the reason – Trump’s trumpets of new opinions, threats, enactments et al. She dreaded getting up each morning wondering what new calamity was to descend on the American people and by influence, spreading to the world. Her son has forbidden TV news watching and reading the newspapers which she says are so opposed to media treatment of the Prez.

我知道原因 - 特朗普的新觀點的小號，威脅，頒布等。她每天早晨都害怕起床，想知道要對美國人民造成什麼新災難，並通過影響力傳播到世界。她的兒子禁止看電視新聞觀看和閱讀報紙，她說這與Prez的媒體待遇非常反對。

I could very well sympathise with her. We in Sri Lanka suffered bouts of such threatened discomfort, nay calamitous warnings and sheer dread. My remembering mind went to Shakespeare in his tragic play Macbeth. Macduff’s description of Scotland under the reign of Macbeth to Malcolm, son and heir of murdered Duncan now sheltered in England, goes thus: “Each new morn/ New widows howl, new orphans cry/ new sorrows strike heaven on the face that it resounds.”

我可以很好地同情她。我們在斯里蘭卡遭受瞭如此威脅的不適，毫無災難性的警告和純粹的恐懼。我記得的頭腦在他悲慘的麥克白（Macbeth）的悲慘戲劇中去了莎士比亞（Shakespeare）。麥克達夫（MacDuff）在麥克白（Macbeth）統治下對蘇格蘭的描述是現在被庇護在英格蘭的謀殺的鄧肯的繼承人馬爾科姆（Malcolm），因此：“每個新的莫恩（New Morn/ New Widows）how叫，新孤兒哭泣/新的悲傷在它響起的面孔上襲擊天堂。透明

I don’t know about you but dread lurked in my heart and mind when the JVP 1989 insurrection took place – for my teenage son. The LTTE and suicide bombs caused utter destruction of life, limb and infrastructure. Families who had travelled together now travelled to schools and workplaces separately since no bus or train was safe. Nor were the privately owned cars.

我不認識你，但是當我十幾歲的兒子發生JVP 1989年起義時，我的內心深處潛伏著我的心靈。猛虎組織和自殺炸彈造成了生命，肢體和基礎設施的徹底破壞。由於沒有公共汽車或火車是安全的，現在一起旅行的家庭現在分別前往學校和工作場所。私人汽車也不是。

Then came two tyrant Presidents with sudden deaths of prominent persons and media personnel like Richard and Lasantha and many others. Blatant robbing of our money had us gasping helplessly. Riff raff rose in power and lorded, one such tying a man to a stake for not attending a meeting.

然後是兩位暴君總統，傑出人士和媒體人員突然死亡，例如理查德和拉桑莎等。公然搶劫我們的錢使我們無助地喘著粗氣。 Riff Raff掌權並統治著，一個這樣的人將一個男人綁在股份中，因為他們不參加會議。

Then rode to power on popular vote another brother in the newly created powerful dynasty. Word of mouth minus stroke of pen had orders given out to be promptly executed. White vans which plied the streets were reduced but worse happened.

然後，在新創建的強大王朝中的另一個兄弟騎行全民投票。口口相傳，筆的筆觸已下令迅速執行。街上街道的白色貨車減少了，但發生了更糟的情況。

One order and the rice fields had no grain, fruits dried on trees, forex earning luscious two leaves and a bud withered and could not be plucked. Bankruptcy resulted. But we had a ‘shipless’ harbour which had to be mortgaged for a song to the Chinese; a plane-less airport sounding death to elephants and peafowl; and a gaudy tower to gaze on or commit suicide from. A gathering of people on Galle Face Green righted things.

一個秩序和稻田沒有穀物，水果在樹上乾燥，外匯賺了兩葉，芽枯萎，無法拔出。破產結果。但是我們有一個“無觸發”的港口，必須抵押給中國人。一個無飛機的機場，向大象和孔雀響起死亡；還有一座豪華的塔，凝視或自殺。戈爾（Galle）上的一群人面對綠色的右事物。

Then came into power a party that had two men and a woman in Parliament which yielded a true Sri Lankan with country first and last in mind, as President. Followed a sharp victory for the coalition of parties led by the hopefully reformed JVP so that three seats became almost two thirds of all seats in Parliament and

然後，一個政黨上台，在議會中有兩個男人和一個婦女，該政黨在首先和最後一個國家，在國民中產生了真正的斯里蘭卡人，擔任總統。隨後，由希望改革的JVP領導的政黨聯盟取得了巨大的勝利，使三個席位成為議會所有席位的三分之二，並
