దిల్లీలోని ఇండియా గేట్, అమర జవాన్ జ్యోతి సమీపంలో నిర్మితమైన జాతీయ యుద్ధ స్మారకాన్ని నరేంద్ర మోదీ సైన్యానికి రేపు అంకితమివ్వనున్నారు. నేటి 53వ మన్ కీ బాత్ కార్యక్రమంలో ఈ విషయాలను ఆయన వెల్లడించారు.
"సైనికుల రుణం తీర్చుకునేందుకు ఇదో చిన్న ప్రయత్నం. జాతీయ యుద్ధ స్మారకాన్ని సందర్శించటం తీర్థయాత్రకు వెళ్లినంత సమానంగా దేశప్రజలు భావిస్తారని విశ్వసిస్తున్నాను. స్వాతంత్ర్యానంతరం దేశ భద్రత కోసం ప్రాణాలర్పించిన సైనికులకు ఇదొక కృతజ్ఞతా ప్రతీక. - నరేంద్ర మోదీ, ప్రధానమంత్రి.
పుల్వామా దాడిపై సంతాపం వ్యక్తం చేశారు ప్రధాని మోదీ. ఉగ్రవాదులు అర్థం చేసుకునే భాషలో సైన్యం బుద్ధి చెబుతుందని ప్రజలకు భరోసా ఇచ్చారు. దేశంలో శాంతి కోసం సాయుధ దళాలు చేసిన కృషిని కొనియాడారు.

POOL -- FILM INDEPENDENT
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Barry Jenkins, writer-producer-director of best feature, "If Beale Street Could Talk":
"How has my life changed? Since what, bro? (Laughs.) Yeah. I think the difference is, I can't deny that I have a certain kind of responsibility and that the things that we do are a symbol. You know, I think of myself, when I was here for the first time with 'Melissa from Melancholia,' $15,000-budget feature, shot by the same DP, edited by the same editor, Nate Sanders, and what I would have thought of seeing someone like myself walk up on stage to accept best picture. So, I think the responsibility of the things that we're choosing to do, and how we're doing them, how we're representing the canon that homeboy spoke of -- I think in that way. I can't deny that I can't just be an artist working in isolation, that I have a responsibility to bear, which is fine because there are other people working in a much more difficult conditions, who have much more responsibility to bear. So, that's the biggest difference."
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Alfonso Cuaron, writer-producer-director of best international film, "Roma," on the stars aligning for the film's success:
"The perfect moment for me? Well, I don't know what happened. I mean, it's just that I did a film that I had to do, and then I'm just happy that for some reason all the elements comfortably related into having this emotional response with the audience. I think that is not a moment. I think that the themes that the film deals with are themes that, on one hand, there are certain things like love and solidarity -- that those are timeless. And some are older, more concerning issues like racism and the relationship between social class and ethnic background, that, unfortunately, has been prevalent for centuries now."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Glenn Close, best female lead for "The Wife" on the main character, Cleodegaria "Cleo" Gutiérrez, portrayed by actress Yalitza Aparico in "Roma":
"There is so many invisible people in the world. There are people that do the work a lot of the time, keep us going, that deliver the vegetables to shopping centers. And I think what moved me about her performance, she was basically portraying a woman who is one of the invisibles. And the thing that really moves me is that every single person has a story, no matter who they are. And that story counts. And you stop ... So that is another thing, I think, the power of independent film. These are the films that can go and tell the stories that no one else will tell."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard E. Grant, best supporting male for "Can You Ever Forgive Me?":
"I've never been nominated or won things before. I have been around for almost 40 doing this business. I'm not singing the blues about that. It's an astonishment to me that I've been nominated for all these awards, and won this won today. So, I feel very emotional about it, as I have spent almost my entire life in indie films, and wrote and directed my own film, 'Wah-Wah,' about my childhood in Africa, a dozen years ago, and it took five years from script to screen. I know from the bottom-up how difficult it is to get something made. And in an era of tentpole movies and sequels and squeak-quels, to do something that is original or has an original voice, takes a long, long time. It took this move, it took Anne Carey, the producer, 11 years to get the movie made. I am standing here in the footsteps of Sam Rockwell who originally cast, subsequently Chris O'Dowd. I got to be in the movie that actually got made. So, it's arbitrary luck as much as anything. I am very aware of that and very grateful."
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Boots Riley, writer-director of best first feature, "Sorry to Bother You," on winning the Spirit:
"It means a bunch of people say, 'Sorry WHAT? What is that movie? I guess I better go see it.' That's the big thing. That is an honor and an affirmation that a movie that, along the way, so many people said, 'Impossible to make.' So many people said, 'Too different for people to accept or understand,' because it doesn't do or adhere to the structures that you are told you are supposed to have through storytelling. I think it is an affirmation not only for me, but for screenwriters, directors who want to do something different -- and something different that is seen by many people, because even though I want more people to see it, a lot of people did see it."
STORYLINE:
TOP SPIRIT AWARDS WINNER JENKINS SAYS THERE'S A RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH THE STATUETTE
Two years after taking home the best picture Oscar for "Moonlight," Barry Jenkins was honored with more movie gold Saturday (23 FEBRUARY), as his period drama "If Beale Street Could Talk" was named best feature at the Film Independent Spirit Awards.
"Beale Street," based on the novel by James Baldwin, also won Jenkins a statuette for direction and Regina King for best supporting female.
After the win, Jenkins discussed the responsibility that comes with such triumphs.
He reflected, "You know, I think of myself, when I was here for the first time with 'Melissa from Melancholia,' $15,000-budget feature, shot by the same DP, edited by the same editor, Nate Sanders, and what I would have thought of seeing someone like myself walk up on stage to accept best picture. So, I think the responsibility of the things that we're choosing to do, and how we're doing them, how we're representing the canon that homeboy spoke of -- I think in that way. I can't deny that I can't just be an artist working in isolation, that I have a responsibility to bear, which is fine because there are other people working in a much more difficult conditions, who have much more responsibility to bear. So, that's the biggest difference."
Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" was named best international film, and is widely considered the film to beat for best picture at Sunday's Academy Awards.
"I don't know what happened," Cuaron acknowledged. "I mean, it's just that I did a film that I had to do, and then I'm just happy that for some reason all the elements comfortably related into having this emotional response with the audience. I think that is not a moment. I think that the themes that the film deals with are themes that, on one hand, there are certain things like love and solidarity -- that those are timeless. And some are older, more concerning issues like racism and the relationship between social class and ethnic background, that, unfortunately, has been prevalent for centuries now."
Spirit Awards voters chose actress Glenn Close, another Oscar front runner, as best female lead for performance in "The Wife." But Close spent a good chunk of her time after the ceremony heaping praise on Cuaron's "Roma" -- and, specifically, the film's central character, a maid portrayed by actress Yalitza Aparico, who happens to be one of Close's Oscar competitors.
"There is so many invisible people in the world," Close said. "There are people that do the work a lot of the time, keep us going, that deliver the vegetables to shopping centers. And I think what moved me about her performance, she was basically portraying a woman who is one of the invisibles. And the thing that really moves me is that every single person has a story, no matter who they are. And that story counts. And you stop ... So that is another thing, I think, the power of independent film. These are the films that can go and tell the stories that no one else will tell."
The 91st annual Academy Awards is set for Sunday in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles.
