The ending you can never guess

Speaking of Indian films, people often have such preconceived experience in watching movies: the length of the film, the promotion of singing and dancing, the counterattack of dicks.... Bollywood's consistent production process tends to move the style and style of the film toward this. Whether it is the government officials and white-collar workers of the "upper society" in India, or the "Vasyas" and "Sudras" in the slums, they all enjoy the three-hour "jumping, singing, and singing" in exchange for cheap movie tickets. Fight, make trouble". However, in the year of the end of the world, there was a film in India that broke the convention and successfully escaped the custom model of "three hours" and "singing and dancing".

The Chinese title of the movie, translated as "Fearless Heart", not only successfully preserved the integrity of the story for more than two hours, but also interspersed the role of the character "changing face" in the flat and straightforward story. , And the logic, organization, and coherence are particularly prominent.

The film tells the arduous journey of a young pregnant woman looking for her husband: the heroine Vidia flew from London to Calcutta to find her husband who had been missing for a long time. Just as the taxi driver who carried her doubted, she did not go directly after getting off the plane. Going to the hotel or residence, but going straight to the police station, the reason is to "report the case in time" and "reunite with her husband as soon as possible." However, the road to finding her husband was not smooth. Vidia suffered from the police's perfunctory denial and shirk from the hotel owner, and she was almost killed. Not only in China, but also in India, there will still be moving scenes of "good people by your side". The young police officers in the police station and the little boy in the hotel who always hold the radio and hold the radio are typical representatives of such good people. Without their help, no matter how awesome Vidia's reasoning skills and superb computer skills are, there is no room for her to use it. Fortunately, she meets people in a desperate situation.

However, even though Vidia used her own unique computer technology all the time and the strong evidence drawn from fragment clues and memories, she was eventually used by the police as cannon fodder. Vidia has been "in the drum" for a long time, but she doesn't know that all her arduous journey of finding her husband is a powerful means for the police to find and arrest fugitives. Vidia has cried and been sad, but all the tears on her face are short and pitiful compared to a bright smile. Her strength and bravery are not dimmed because of her being pregnant. After suffering, Vidia resolutely did not abandon the "Fearless Heart" because she knew that her husband was right in front of her.

When the "witness" most closely related to her husband appears, we know that all the mysteries of Vidia's husband's disappearance will be revealed. At this time, the audience is also waiting with expectation for the "witness" to pour out the ins and outs of everything. At this time, however, the plot reversed in a sunny day. All of Vidia's "husband-hunting journey" is just a shocking lie, and "revenge for her husband" is her true purpose. When she tore off her invisible "skin" and tangible "belly" to show the qualities and skills that a female agent possessed, we suddenly realized: It turned out that it was not this man who was used by the police, but that all the policemen were used by the police. She took advantage.

A female software engineer dressed up in disguise, cleverly scheming, she did not hesitate to kill her own child, with only one purpose: to avenge her husband. When we admired Vidia's scheming, deep-hearted, and feminine heart, we had to give a thumbs up for the reversal of the film's awesome ending. This is the "abnormal performance" that a normal movie should have. ".

Of course, the film is not perfect. In order to achieve a terrifying and reversal ending, many parts of the front are bluntly "ambushed", and the outline of some scenes is relatively rough. However, the film has unconventionally circumvented the traditional "large pieces of singing and dancing" in Indian films, and even compressed the film duration to more than two hours. This "alternative" has to be said to be a breakthrough.

Watching the entire film, I seemed to have been fooled. The director who did not follow the routine cleanly eliminated all our guesses and judgments, leaving only admiration for his perfect handling of the ending. If we simply characterize this film as a "drama", it would be too arbitrary, and the finishing touch has to make people conclude that this is a well-made suspense film. When I saw the poster of the movie with the child's protagonist carrying a big belly and showing a panic expression again, I still wanted to say "Please direct me, please fool me again!"
