Heroes in the opposite direction

Like "Wrestling Dad", "Sultan" is an Indian movie based on wrestling, but the difference is that "Sultan" does not have a heart that can move people like the former. At first glance, with twists and turns, under the blood-filled Indian singing and dancing, the film is just a lackluster inspirational routine.

The story of the movie is very simple. In a word, it is an ordinary young man who fights for love and inspires to become a wrestling champion. In terms of the plot, the movie arranges a main line for the male protagonist Sultan played by Salman Khan, from glory to depression to rise. , and love is the node that runs through, and the song and dance that Indian movies are called have become the place where the movie drives the audience's emotions. Although the film does not have the in-depth coverage of Indian social issues in Ami Khan's "Wrestling, Dad", if this old-fashioned concept can be interpreted wonderfully and sincerely, it may not be unimpressive.

However, it is a pity that the core of the movie's love and inspiration is just a gimmick. While the movie sings to "win in life", it also regards wrestling as the top priority, and even the so-called final The indomitable victory in World War I brought only embarrassment that made people laugh and cry. His approach made the film neither see the sincerity brought by inspiration nor any substantive inspiration about life. , the mediocre routine is just the barrenness seen in the movie.

In terms of emotional creation, this movie is even more distant from "Wrestling, Dad". In the movie, the heroine is actually just a tool for the director to create a hero, not a flesh and blood person. When the male protagonist rises, I love him, when the male protagonist is down, I leave him, and when the male protagonist rises again, love will follow. In order to justify it, the movie still finds an excuse about home when the male protagonist is down. , but how can this make up for his love for the male protagonist when he rises up again? The heroine of the movie seems to have a Western style of daring to love and daring to hate, but she is still just a product of Indian male superiority and female inferiority.

"Sultan" is not a real sports inspirational movie. It just adds the Indian director's imagination of heroes to an inspirational template. How can it not be the same as the inspiration and inspiration?

    The era is another open routine

    Especially normal routine movies, there is nothing to say about the dramatic conflict of plot performances, normal level. Rough, heroic and pure male masculinity + natural earthy and round screen image is relatively rare in my country, so this kind of film is easy to get word-of-mouth. You don't need to blindly innovate the sword and go to the side. Doing what you should do is enough to attract people to the theater. Most of the males on our screen are too unmale, either pretentious or vicious, especially lacking the power of pure yang. The soundtrack is a bit of a failure, just the melancholy guitar, which I used for a long time. It was just a few times before and it ruined the mood as soon as it came out.
