longus, don’t be prejudiced,you sound like a person who makes-up their own version of history to racially insult people.I say this because you called Sinhalese a “tribal” lang(this not only shows that you look-down on those who have a tribal back ground but also the fact that you have no proper knowledge of Sri Lnakan history),when in history the Sinhalese had “Clans” not “tribes”, and also because you mocked Handagama’s English and his obscure origins.Anyhow, Longus, I strongly believe it would enlighten you to know that English was a tribal language who’s origins can be tracked back to tribal Germainia,and also try to perceive the world without prejudice,like a civilised individual.

But the problem is Heshan, he makes his films in the “tribal” language called Sinhalese which is spoken by the “savage natives” of a country called Sri Lanka. You may not understand the “vulgar” nuances of this language, and also as you know the Sinhalese language is not as rich as your mother tongue English!

Secondly, a person like Handagama who doesn’t have an anglicised name can’t be expected to be fluent in English in order to be appreciated by you. Lack of fluency in English invariably results in lack of sophistication and works by such people lacks quality as well and are no match for people like you!

Therefore I would like to advise you to go on watching Holywood movies-especially the Rambo type which shows how good the Americans are in war- which are definitely of better quality than any of the garbage made in Sri Lanka by any of these village educated idiots!

Best wishes Sanjana Thanks for giving an extra ‘stage’ to such
artistes.

While many of his films elicit controversy, they never fail to lose the plot. I would say, he is the Sri Lankan version of Stanley Kubrick. Great interview, and looking forward to many more of Asoka’s films! 🙂
