This top Indian epic film "Baahubali: The Beginning", which has been myth for a long time, has finally been finished in one go in the past few days. After watching it twice, there are mixed reviews for this top film.
First of all, from the perspective of historical background, India, as a multi-sect, has experienced dynastic changes in history, just like my great celestial dynasty. It has undergone various dynasties. The historical background of this "Baahubali" is an alternate dynasty , If you are in line with the real dynasties in Indian history, with the powerful kingdom in the movie, it should be comparable to the era of Ashoka. Therefore, for a mythical hero, you need a powerful country as a background basis .
If you look at it from a religious background, the hero Shiva of the film lifts a 100-pound stone sculpture of Linga (male root) from his bare hands, which is regarded by people as a symbol of Shiva in the world, and Shiva is a Hindu religion and is seen by people As the highest and most sacred god, I have a light understanding of the religious background of Lord Shiva. He is a god who came out of despair and grief. It is said that the Ganges River in India passed through Lord Shiva before it came to the world. The top of the head is scattered in the world, so the Ganges has a very high status in the hearts of the Indian people. However, although the male protagonist in the film is too mythical, this is exactly what satisfies the Indian people's belief in their hearts. worship.
Aside from the historical background and religion, if you just look at the plot, this film is a plot of an old-fashioned hero who rescues all people and saves all sentient beings. However, Bollywood is Bollywood in the end. No matter how powerful the film is, there will always be their favorite song and dance plots. If they disagree, they will hold hands and dance as much as they want, but they have to say that this way makes this This kind of old-fashioned plot is not so boring and embarrassing to watch. If such a plot is filmed in China, and the rich plot is not handled well, one can imagine how ugly it will be. In the play, in addition to various male protagonists who have never been choked to death by water, there are also the villain's usurper uncle, the domineering strong woman queen mother, the loyal Katappa, and various different character settings. This epic movie.
As a film and television art designer, most of the "Baahubali Kings" are aimed at the scene design. The design of Baahubali's dynasty is mainly composed of calm gold and earth colors, and the space in the palace It has a strong sense of power and will show a strong sense of majesty and power. There is almost no green in the entire dynasty, which also shows the dynasty's desire for power. The overall exterior design of the royal city is ups and downs, the center of power is at the highest point of the city, and more sculptures that symbolize rights such as lions and elephants are used, which is an innovation and breakthrough in the scene design of traditional epic films. .
Overall, this film is indeed a good one among epic films, especially the handling of visual effects and art scenes as well as costumes is very good. And when it comes to the concept of heroes, who of us doesn't like watching heroes? Everyone has an obsession with the role of a hero. Just like those heroes in Hollywood, people have liked to pursue heroes from ancient times to the present, just like a kind of belief support. "Baahubali: The Beginning" is like taking a slant on this road, deducing a heroic character full of hormones, but an overly mythical character. If such a subject is filmed in China, it may be filmed badly, but this is an Indian film, and it is aimed at the tastes of the Indian people, so no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as Indians like it, we as spectators, Only the good parts can be taken from it and learned from it.
