The term was coined by playwright Bertolt Brecht to describe the aesthetics of epic theatre.<BR/><BR/>[PS : I know, u have seen Wiki for this, and I also know that u wud be infuriated at my "audacity" to use this place as a GK forum......but u know...knowledge is for sharing.

It belongs more to the 'aantel cinema' genre.<BR/><BR/>@the ancient mariner<BR/>:P I am already inspired enough. And yes, I cannot really say the physical beauty of the lead character is of the crowd pulling sort. This was taken from a scene where he had completely lost his mind and committed suicide. Watch it once though if you chance upon it. <BR/>:( My parents brought me up to be multilingual. I managed to learn none. Not my fault.<BR/><BR/>@onnesha<BR/>is not it in bengali?
