The idea of the film is profound, painful and vivid. I don't want to define it as a revolutionary film. I feel that this film is more like a youth film. Just as youth is a bloody song, it is bright and beautiful, but it is bleeding faintly, revealing inexplicable sadness and melancholy. The lives of the last five teenagers ended with Sue's sentence "they are just boys" in the background sound. After the gunshots, the DJ and Karan's heartfelt laughter still surrounded the beam. Although they died in their beautiful years, it is fortunate that they died when the flowers of their youth were in full bloom. Unlike many young people, the flower of youth withered before it bloomed. DJ, Karan, laxman, Sukhi, Aslam, and Ajay, the fuse, all sacrificed their lives for the cause they love. Although at first, these five teenagers never believed that there is anything in this world worth paying for their lives, the only difference between them is that the final method of death is different, DJ said, "We will be wrapped in corpses after we die. Brie, and Ajay wrapped in the flag, we don't even bark a dog in the street when we die, but Ajay fires 21 times." But fate always plays tricks. DJ and his party still found a cause for which they could sacrifice their lives. At the beginning, a group of teenagers who criticized and cursed their own country all day, finally gave their lives to change their own country! I don't think DJs would have thought of it. Moreover, when they died, they were not as deserted as the dogs on the street would not bark, but instead aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the youth of the whole country and awakened the people of the whole country. Whether it's Ajay's death or the death of DJ and his party, they all deserve to die. Ajay's death has awakened DJ and others, and DJ and others have awakened the whole country!
This is a movie about country, faith, friendship, freedom, and occasional love. The persistence of DJs and others for their ideals and their touching patriotism deeply touched me. But the only thing I don't agree with is their hasty assassination of the Secretary of Defense. Even if the Minister of Defense is corrupt and shameful, but if you kill a Minister of Defense scott, more Ministers of Defense XXX will appear. This is a foolish way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will cost you your lives in vain. , It is not too late for ten years. If you want to save your country's system, it is not enough to have a warm blood. But I still admire their revolutionary spirit. In other words, China is not inferior to India in terms of corruption. "Corruption is literally in our DNA", is this sentence only for Indians? The backbone and lifeblood of a country is national defense, but unscrupulous high-ranking government officials have actually corrupted and embezzled national defense. Just imagine, if a person's central nervous system is eroded by a virus, how can he be saved? Probably just waiting to die. How can a country that has problems with military equipment still have a future? Ajay's death made many people aware of the existing system problems in the country, so they gathered in the square to protest, demanding the Minister of Defense to retire, but the army was dispatched. Isn't the duty of a soldier to protect the safety of the people? Why is he now the executioner who kills the good people? ! On the other hand, the armies of various countries, even China, under the pretense that everything is for the people, but once the people take to the streets to march or strike and demonstrate, which one does not use force to suppress the people? ! Isn't it ironic that the people who fought for justice and truth were beaten all over by the people who said they wanted to protect you back then?
In China, most young people must also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the current system with DJ and his party. Some choose to complain like Aslam, some choose to emigrate like Karan, and some choose to serve the country like Ajay. ...but I especially like a passage from Ajay in the film, "It's easy to comment on the sidelines, it's easier to blame others, why don't you go out and change all this? Stand up bravely, join the political world, the police, the government, and clean up the society, but You won't, and I'll tell you why, because that takes quite a bit of effort. It's much easier to complain...". There are definitely not a minority of angry youths in China. The Internet and in reality are full of all kinds of scolding against the government, but contemporary angry youths are becoming more and more "dung". There are really too few angry youths who can be like DJs. What absurd decision was made by the government today, and what a huge corruption incident was discovered. Everyone instantly turned into politicians wearing IP on the Internet and cursed China's current system. There is just a great opportunity to take advantage of it. I scolded the boss with all kinds of personal hatreds, such as deducting wages, but going out to be unrestrained. I woke up the next day and went to work as usual after pressing the alarm clock. In fact, nothing has changed. China is still China now. . "No country is perfect, we can only make it better, otherwise you have to either live with reality or take responsibility and try to change it."
In fact, there is one line in the movie that really impressed me. DJ said, "I have actually graduated for 5 years, but I am still reluctant to leave the school. He said that in the school we are the masters of our destiny. If we leave the school, we become the slaves of our destiny. There are still people who know me in the school. , DJ is a character, people have expectations for me, but out of the school, I'm just like a slacker of the country, nothing, and I'm afraid..." That sentence "We are the masters of destiny at school, and we left the school. , we become slaves to fate" really made my heart tremble. Students are indeed the poorest people in the society, but they are also the richest people. Although they do not have RMB, they have ideals and dreams. They are a pure land that has not been eroded by reality. But today's college students, although they still have no money, no power or power, but many have no ideals, so they are often lonely, empty and cold, isn't it very pitiful? Every time I think that our young lives will enter the society and then slowly wither before they are in full bloom, I can't help but feel embarrassed. In fact, as long as you dare to chase your dreams, you can become the master of your destiny whether you are in or out of school! The difference is just the amount of pressure imposed by reality. There are too many college students in China who do not have ideals to live their lives. This phenomenon is indeed worth pondering. What are those people who were clamoring for what they want to be when they grow up, what are they doing now? Or do you often fall asleep with depression? Do you still remember the splendid dream from the beginning?
Well, this is just a small episode in the film. When I saw it, it touched me. I took it out and shared my little emotion with you. Continue to talk about the theme of the movie.
Since I said before that I think this is a youth movie, it is inevitable to fall in love, romantic and romantic, and of course, there is the collision of the classic contradiction between ideal and reality. In the movie, this contradiction is especially magnified, especially the last five teenagers all died under the guns of the army sent by the country they love. Karan once said in the film, "What do you want to change here, it will only get worse. Those old revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives for the country, and the result? They died in vain. It's still a mess..." In fact, he was wrong Well, those old revolutionaries did not die in vain, they exchanged for the freedom of the Indian land. In the same way, you did not die in vain, you awakened the awakening of the people, although this awakening was too extravagant. But then again, a movie is a movie after all. When I saw people's reaction at the end, I couldn't help but worry, if this is in reality, can people really have such a big reaction? Can he really wake up because of the death of five boys who have nothing to do with him? ...it's actually hard to say. The ideal of DJ and his party is red. They were forced to embark on the road of revolution by the death of their good friend and the government's unscrupulousness. They just want to restore their brother's innocence and the country's pure land, but the reality is cruel. Gave them a hot slap in the face. So much so that they gave their young lives in the end. But their efforts for their ideals were not in vain. After they died, their ideals continued. People heard their ideals and would continue this red ideal for them! Although this film ends in tragedy in the eyes of many people, I still see hope, and I always feel that the ending is good, because the teenagers realized their ideals at the moment of death, and this country has hope and a future. .
There is a gap between ideals and reality. Maybe some people are natural moat, but as long as you make efforts and take steps, you will definitely be able to change! So don't be afraid that your ideal will fail, there is no need to be afraid, everything is just a try. This is the greatest positive energy this film conveys to me.
