National confidence

The result is not that important. The important thing is that the nation has become confident.
In reality, the gamble of national unity fails with a high probability. Perhaps this is the case. The villagers have only the result of failure in their hearts. Although this kind of adventure was forced and helpless, Bu Fan had a glimmer of hope. The villagers have become accustomed to the helpless life, and Bufan is more eager to seize this glimmer of hope. From the beginning, only Bufan (the male protagonist) dared to take risks and joined them one by one.
Several scenes are similar to the scenes in "Three Fools in Bollywood" where Ranche asks the teacher about machinery. For example, Bufan stands up from the ground alone and accepts Captain Russell's challenge.
He dares to question the status quo, and this spirit often appears in his films. For example, he invited the "disabled inferior person" to join the team. He always thinks rationally and guides people's thinking. We can’t touch the waiters, so don’t the things we eat and wear are brought by them? Our lives are closely related. We all have a common goal to beat the British team. We all want to abolish taxation.
He went further, not only questioning the flow of taxes to the UK, but also questioning the enrichment of state owners' warehouses. why is that? Those who grow food can't eat enough, what kind of world is this?
From the beginning, he faced the contempt of the enemy and the hatred of the villagers, only supported by his mother and lover. Maybe the lover's support was a turning point. Does this reflect the rational thinking of the Indians towards the British?
In addition to the main line of competition, there is also the auxiliary line of love. Envy and whistleblowing, jealousy and reason mingled together.
The prophet said: If there is a will, things will come true.
The protagonist always says (cricket) is very simple, maybe the ignorant is fearless, but I believe that there are many problems and more methods than problems.
