Most of us know about terrorist attacks from news reports.
"Mumbai Hotel" is a tragic film based on reality and takes place at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. In addition to letting us see what the real disaster is like, it is more important to appreciate the interplay between human nature and destiny.
Someone said after watching this film: "In the face of a real terrorist attack, no one has the halo of the protagonist." Yes, we really need to imagine whether we have a chance to survive to the end when faced with a terrorist attack.
The film officially begins, the unwarranted shooting is worrying, the indiscriminate attack of the thugs is terrifying, and the horror of terrorism is displayed in front of our eyes. We can know that there are roughly such types of people in the movie, hotel employees, guests, thugs and police.
Let's not talk about the thugs. First, let's talk about the unexpectedly unarmed Mumbai police. They have no special counter-terrorism training, but they still rushed into the dangerous hotel at a critical moment and searched for the surveillance room. The two policemen who survived in the end had only 12 rounds of guns and ammunition, but they were willing to take risks for the lives of dozens of people.
And then on to the hotel chef, Arjun and other hotel staff. As the leader of the staff, the chef is familiar with the situation of the hotel. When confronted with danger, he has a clear head and is not afraid of danger. He instructs the guests to hide in the VIP bar. This decision allows more people to have a chance to survive. Instead of hiding in safe corners and waiting for rescue, they risked getting sick to send their guests to safety.
As a hotel employee, Arjun, like other employees, always keeps in mind the principle of customer first. Although he said at the beginning of the movie: "I also want to live to see my family", he still does his duty when helping everyone escape. Responsible for guiding, always running behind the guests to protect. When escorting the injured guest to the hospital alone, in order to stop the bleeding from the wound, he even took off the turban on his head, which represents the glory and courage of the Sikhlan people. At this time, Arjun does not need the proof of wearing the turban, glory and courage It's already reflected in him.
There is also such a scene in the movie. Arqiong looked at the surveillance screen. The colleague who stole Meicha was shot and lay at the door of the VIP room. Arqiong didn't know if she was lucky or sad, but it could only be said that it was fate. Arjun survived.
At the end of the movie, the people who survived were reunited. Arjun did not wear shoes that squeezed his feet, but went barefoot and rode his motorcycle straight to the house. The moment he saw his wife and children, he had mixed feelings. Yes, he experienced today. Had an escape.
In this film, all the employees who regard the hotel as writers, including Arjun, their spirit of being selfless, self-sacrificing, and still sticking to their posts to protect the safety of guests at the critical moment of life and death is the most worthy of our learning.
