Plot: big frame, looking.
1. Su also had problems with filming such a subject in the UK (Gandhi can, but this is not possible), so he came to India alone (grandpa was right, when he came to India, he would fall in love with her at first sight), looking for a role-playing role in the film.
2. The five young people at Delhi University, like the rest of the country, have no hope for the motherland (this country has no future, India has no future), and are indifferent and ridiculed towards patriotism and the pursuit of freedom.
3. Various practical problems in India. Internal division. Hindus and Muslims (this is my country and yours); government-business collusion, corruption, black and white, bullets shot at unarmed college students; truth=justice=solution To this country
, each of us should stand up, Such a stand-up is first preceded by the "terrorist" actions of several young people. (There are two kinds of people in the face of death, those who cry and those who are calm;) There is another kind of people who smile in the face of death. By smiling in the face of death, the end of the film recreates the revolutionaries of the year. However, this time the executioner is no longer played by an outsider from the British Bureau, but an army sent by the government itself.
And such a structural correspondence, at least the following ideas can be seen:
1. Whether it is the British rule in the 1920s, or the Indian state that has established an autonomous government, it has always been and is still in the process of national liberation. (Liberation = freedom, freedom is my bride) There is still a binary opposition between good and bad, good and evil, the government is to the people, and the official is to the people. The calling of the revolution stems from the complete corruption within the system, the top-down reform becomes impossible, and the official who should be the leader of the reform is precisely the culprit of the country's lack of future.
1.2 Interestingly, such cognition, the connection of two periods of time, requires an outsider to initiate/trigger. The Indian nation is in complete loss/disappointment, and the arousal of passion requires a foreign girl who is looking for history. Their role-playing, and the subsequent acquisition of their own subjectivity, are never spontaneous. Along with the ridicule of revolution and passion, the whole society is spectator-style political indifference - when the phrase "this nation has no future" is repeatedly mentioned, "I" seem to be outside "this nation" and let those politicians Go ahead and mess around, I live my life as long as my life isn't affected. This is the popular logic in the film.
It can also be seen that in the destruction of this popular logic, the turning point is the death of the pilot. My friend died, my life was really affected, this nation can't go on like this, it's not right. This is a very important factor in the change of the original logic.
2. The strongest emotion in the film is this strong distrust of the government. Or rather, it overlaps between distrust and despair. It is precisely because of this that the film adopts a very ambiguous and uncertain approach: on the one hand, it is a revolutionary passion that is incompatible with the ruler, and on the other hand, it encourages young people to enter the system and change the country. They seem to regard their revolution more as a thunderclap on the ground, and do not expect a successor.
2.2 The revolutionaries in the post-revolutionary era are at most a simulation of the original revolutionaries. Changes in reality (friends and enemies, the public, and society) have determined that the height of the revolution may only be seen as the whim of a few young people. And the revolution of a few people is never called a revolution.
3. The great difference between India's reality and China's has determined that "every one of us needs to take action" such a slogan cannot be simply written out of context.
What I don't like about this film is that it greatly promotes a terrorist idea, even though it tries to whitewash itself, some differences from terrorism, etc. But the assassination of the secretary of defense, and even the murder of the father itself, made such an action seem reckless.
