Peace, justice, and unity are always supreme-"Once Upon a Time in India" film review

Indian films are generally very long, and this one is no exception, often three and a half hours, enough to move. The main line of the film is the contest between aggression and counter-aggression, which is about maintaining the dignity of one nation against another! Its background is too grand, and it always feels that everything has a serious atmosphere as long as it is connected with national justice. But the film shows us more of the unity of the big nation, hard work and perseverance, and enthusiasm like the sun!
The cricket match in which the Indians in the region are determined by winning or losing the three-year tax exemption is really an extremely exciting game. In people’s hearts, are there more or less sense of justice, so it’s unusual to watch the game. Worried? Of course, we hope that India can win the competition, because the competition between the two sides is very different in strength and skills, so it is enough to make the audience fearful!
In addition to the exciting competition, the singing and dancing in the film cannot be avoided. All Indian movies must have a long period of singing and dancing, but we don’t need to be bored, because it is really fascinating. Indian dance is unique, and the singing voice is sweet and remote. The hot singing will always make people forget their sorrows and troubles. It is a kind of enjoyment to be in the Indian singing and dancing paradise!
What makes me a little bit sad is the white lady Eliza (played by Rachel Shirley) who taught Indians to beat her own brother. She loves the film's leading actor Lafan (played by Amir Khan), she thought he also loves her, but when she saw Lafan hugged the heroine Goryeo (played by Grace Sheen) after winning the ball game At that time, he fully realized that all his efforts were just wishful thinking, so he turned and left. With a gorgeous turn, many people who fall in love can't do it, no matter what, Miss Eliza has done it. At the same time, she did not marry forever, just for the Lafan she loved so much. The reason why I feel sad is because Lavan doesn't know that Eliza loves herself. He thought that this lovely and talented white lady really decided to help them because she thought the game was unfair! Sometimes I wonder if Eliza does not love Lavan, would she still sacrifice her own brother’s honor so much for her enslaved citizens? If Lafan knew that this white lady who used the pursuit of fairness as an excuse was actually expressing love to herself, how would he react? The film didn't tell us, or this is what is intriguing!
Fortunately, the director did not stop the film from the entangled love of one man and two women, but from the beginning to the end it showed a contest of national dignity! It turns out that every country and every nation has a national complex. The film includes Muslims, Hindus, and even "untouchables", but when foreigners invaded, they united. This is the greatest It is also the most touching, and it is precisely because of this that it sublimates the entire film. This reminds me of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War in our country. If there is no internal unity, how can the entire Chinese nation be independent! Historical exchanges are like this. Although people live in the country, Thailand and the people, it is the mission of each of our nations to unite and strive for strength, shoulder the mission, and strive for the glory of the country! This is true for the Indian nation, and so is the Chinese nation!
Please allow me to wish my dear China a prosperous and prosperous while feeling that Indian movies are so wonderful!

    Aamir Khan is so handsome. This is the first time I think Bollywood musicals are so good. I like musical so much. I really liked the part where Aamir Khan confessed to the heroine. It's just that this film is too racist. In this era, when we talk about the past colonies, we should pay attention to the moderation.
