Question 433.g: Scarborough Fair ( last question)

Note: This will be the last question of the theme. The answers will be posted on Monday evening, and the scores updated thereafter

The movie _X_, released in 2005, is a remake of a 1974 movie of the same name. The movie features the prominent line, spoken to the protagonist, "Most of these boys have nothin', never had anything to start with. But you, you had it all. You could have robbed banks, sold dope or stole your grandma's pension checks and none of us would have minded. But _____________, man, that's un-American!"

After gauging the state of the prisoners, the protagonist agrees to the warden's request to form a football team of prisoners against the guards, as a warm up game for the guards.

The underdogs, as in every good Hollywood or Bollywood movie, wins ( no surprises there).

But in the remake, the protagionist __Y__ becomes the coach of the team.

Question 433.a: Caveat Venditor

_X_ was considered amongst the most versatile actors of his generation, and has gone on to influence a cavalcade of comedians such as Sancho Baron Cohen (Borat), etc.

_X_ was knighted for his acting skills, and was close to Beatles Ringo Starr, and George Harrison.
Video 1 is _X_, in the role of _Y_, reciting a song _Z_.





_X_ is also famously remembered for his role in video 2, sparking off the craze of the phrase stated in the movie, and which went on to be associated with all Indians hereafter. Apu Nahashameemapettilon's voice was based on _X_'s diction of a desi.




But _X_'s coup de grace could be considered being the original _A_, from the series _B_ . HIs version of _A_ was what inspired one of his fans to imitate the same style in the revival of the franchise _B_.

Question 432: Found neither in Giza nor Ibiza

n his Poetics the Greek philosopher Aristotle put forth the idea "A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end". This three-part view of a plot structure (with a beginning, middle, and end – technically, the protasis, epitasis, and catastrophe, was how most dramas were modelled until 1863, when __X__ wrote a book called Die Technik des Dramas.

In this book, he put forth a view which has become the crux of comedies and a tradition in theater. Building upon Aristotle's views, he made a pyramid like structure as shown in the picture.

Question
1) Id X
2) Fill in the blanks in the pyramid (bottom left, top, bottom right)
