About "Asan".
Before I wanted to write something, I browsed a circle of everyone's film reviews, and the voice of "A San" was endless. It seems that everyone is accustomed to calling it now, and it's called "Asan" in a closed voice. "Asan" has become synonymous with India. Everyone just yelled with peace of mind. I don't know if they have understood the meaning of "Asan", but there must be no respect for them. If a Japanese called "Shina" or something, our patriotic youth would have been outraged a long time ago, and something insulting to China would definitely come up. Then I don’t understand. I don’t like others to humiliate China. The ancestors said long ago, do not do to others what you don't want, and don't want the Japanese to call us "China", we don't want to call the Indians "Asan". If you want others to respect you, you must first learn to respect others. If you don't know how to respect others, you don't deserve to be respected by others. What's more, in history, China and India did not have any big beams. Across the Himalayas, the well water does not violate the river. Even the conflict in 62 years is not a deep hatred. Lao Maozi robbed us of so much land in history and smashed all the Outer Mongolia. He didn't see how we hated him, and he even called others a "battle nation" with a stern face. The bullying and fear of hardship in human nature is probably like this.

About opening up.
The term “kaihang” originally referred to the opening of plug-ins in video games, but after the spectacular scenes of the Indian people’s plug-ins on the train became popular, the opening was associated with India, and the opening nation became a synonym for the Indian people. When it comes to Indian movies, the opening scenes are of course everywhere, but Indian movies are not all of this genre. Judging from the few movies I have seen, Indian movies can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, such as "Three Stupid" and "Ou "Drip God", the depth of thought is beyond the reach of Chinese movies. Of course, the movie environment in our country is different. There is a General Administration of Guangxi that manages this and that. As a result, we have made a lot of martial arts movies that are not marginal. Martial arts movies are unique to China. If foreigners watch it for the first time, it is probably the rhythm of rolling eyes all over the floor. Looking at the Chinese knights flying around, ignoring gravity, there must be martial arts in ancient costumes, and martial arts in martial arts. I am the world's largest nation in the world. We shook our arms every day but turned a blind eye to it, and laughed at Indians who love to open it. We really have a feeling of laughing at 50 steps in a hundred steps. Moreover, we open the hanger around the clock, even if the ancients open the hanger, now we have entered the eight-year war of resistance. If people ask us what is going on with the devil, how can we be right.

About epic.
This movie is marked as an epic movie. Epic is history plus myths and legends. All kinds of strange forces are indispensable, all kinds of power are infinite, all kinds of ignoring gravity, all kinds of unscientific. You can no longer spray epic movies on and off, just as you can't say that "Journey to the West" is unscientific. The Chinese nation, or the Han nation, which constitutes the main body of the Chinese nation, is relatively early mature. Our ancient myths are simple and fragmented. The stories of Pangu Kaitian and Nuwa's creation of human beings are just a few short stories. After Dayu, the age of mythology It's over. Most of the epics in China that can be called epics belong to ethnic minorities, such as "The Biography of King Gesar" and so on. We also don’t have epic movies with magnificent scenes. Although they also fly around like "The Promise", they are just palace fights in the cloak of mythology, without the weight of history and the beauty of poetry. Have you ever heard of it? Is an epic created by a steamed bun?

About singing and dancing.
Just now I said that the Han nationality matured early and that there was literature and art early, and the relative performance of singing and dancing was weakened. The Han nationality didn’t have any distinctive dances. It could be dealt with by a few twists of yangko. How can the Han nationality have any ethnic dances? Those who can sing and dance are all ethnic minorities. Indians’ singing and dancing are in their bones, and without singing and dancing, it’s not an Indian movie. The beginning of "Bahubali" was fairly convergent, the dance in the water after moving Linga was not abrupt, and the dance of the goddess that was also true and illusion when climbing the Great Falls can be described as beautiful and graceful. Probably this is the feeling of neon clothes feather dance. This is the most beautiful clip in the whole film, and it truly reflects the beauty of dance, so after watching the film, I also searched for some belly dances to watch it. The next dance is the garden dance of the hero and heroine. This paragraph is a bit reluctant. From the plot point of view, it develops too fast. It takes only a few days for the hero to secretly love the heroine. It takes only a few minutes for the heroine to know the hero. I didn’t say five words, I took a shower, changed my clothes and started jumping, and then I was ashamed immediately. The logic was so cool that I had lost all my logic to Jiu Xiaoyun, and I have to say that the heroine’s There is really meat on the waist. The previous ones are solo dances and pas de deux dances. To the Indian audience, they are definitely not enough. The director may not be able to hold it anymore. In the end, he has to enlarge his moves to give everyone a solid health care. The prince brothers chased the traitor, went into the show, and performed a group dance when there was no need to promote the story. What they sang could not be understood by the people, but only remembered the enchanting and enchanting three dancers.

About music.
I am actually a music-blind person, and I don't understand music at all, but it doesn't prevent the music in the play from making a deep impression. Many of them are brainwashed. The first paragraph is the soundtrack when the male lead moved to Lin Jia, the male voice is full of power, set off the male lead's natural supernatural power, extremely masculine. The second part is the soundtrack when the male lead climbs the waterfall. The male bass chorus is accompanied by the melodious and gentle solo singing of the female voice. There is also a soundtrack of entering the ancient city, accompanied by a low-conscious and strong male chorus, a long shot from the sky over the city, crossing the pavilions, through the streets and alleys, and finally fixed in front of the bad king, confessing the magnificence of the city and also perspective. The barbaric tyranny of the ruling. There is also a section where the Persian swordsman finds the old Nukata Pabi sword, and uses the fast-paced ups and downs of the cello to set off the fierce competition. In the end, the dragon-slaying sword folds and leans against the sky sword, the master retracts the sword into its sheath, and the music stops. The rest of the excitement can't be said one by one. In short, the soundtrack is one of the highlights of the film. Listen to the brainwashing.

About the war.
The war scenes of this show are also a major feature, imitating Hollywood everywhere, and the traces of special effects are still more obvious, which is equivalent to the second-rate level of Hollywood. Speaking of costume war films, it must be the American blockbuster, from the early "Brave Heart", to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, to "Troy", "Spartan 300", and then to "The Hobbit" The trilogy has grand scenes and shocking visual effects. The level of "The Kingdom of Heaven" has reached its peak, and its successors are hard to surpass. American movies are indispensable for costume war films, and every one of them comes out to bombard the eyes of audiences all over the world. Even Disney films for good babies are also full of knights and swords. Speaking of our country, costume war films are really lackluster. After sorting it out a bit, there is a strange phenomenon, that is, the costume war films are all the works of directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and several works have been released in the past ten years. "Ink Attack" was filmed by Zhang Zhiliang, and it is said that the historical drama "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" was filmed by Li Rengang (and "Hongmen Banquet" and "The Hero of the Western Regions". Although the Chinese heroes all wore Japanese armor strangely, they finally filled it. It’s okay to look at a blank in the movie genre, and watch the excitement), as well as Cheng Xiaodong’s "Beauty in the Mountain" and Chen Xunqi's "The Female General of the Yang Family". Although bad, they have it. Chinese costume war films are all made by these Hong Kong directors. This is really wicked. Don't tell me about "Heroes", "Promise" and "Golden Armor". What is war? Thousands of people chanted chants for a whole group of gymnastics. In the early years, there was also a movie called "Heroes of the Yellow River", which was the work of Hong Kong director Zhang Xinyan. It goes back to the pioneering work "Dunhuang", the yellow sand wearing gold armor in all battles was actually taken by a Japanese, and he sighed. After all, to make a good-looking costume war movie, the director himself must have a heroic dream. This kind of dream and feeling must be found in the frontier poems of the Tang Dynasty, and you will not see it later. After the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei and Yu Qian were sluggish. The era is the end of heroes. In modern times, buying a simulation gun will have to be sentenced to life. Everyone will be a good baby, and the hero's heart will die. Among the works of mainland directors, the only one worth mentioning is "Jing Ke Stabbing the King of Qin". At that time, Chen Kaige still had passion and dreams of heroism, but it was a pity that he was naturalized in the United States.

About the plot.
Generally speaking, the plot of the film is compact. Except for the singing and dancing, it is basically interlocking, intensively advancing, and clearly explained, without any muddling and nonsense. The plot of the first part came to an abrupt end after the unexpected reversal of the old Nukatapa, leaving endless speculations. The curtain has been opened, and love and hatred are left to the lower part to dissolve.

The second film is about to be released, and I look forward to a wonderful Indian blockbuster.
