Some time ago, I frantically brushed Indian movies. There are dream-catching and inspirational, middle-class warmth, and some discussions about religion and politics. But the first time I saw the subject of Indian mythology, I first watched "Bahubali King (Part 1)". It's open, the Divine Comedy is invincible, but the special effects are a bit half-cent, which can be said to be an alternative cool film. Therefore, as soon as the next episode is released, I ran to watch the morning show.
The movie is two and a half hours, which is a bit long, but I watched it very happily. The two parts of Gong Dou Opera and the loyal minister's choice are somewhat routine. It seems that similar dramas are indispensable in any country. In other places, I really want to complain about the imagination of the Indian people while watching it happily. I still want to ask myself if there is something wrong.
It is such a magical movie, I heard it is a box office champion in Indian film history. On the whole, I feel that the story is better than the previous episode. Baahubali, who opened all the way, returned from victory and won the hearts of the people. In the opening twenty minutes of singing and dancing, some basic stories were explained neatly.
After all, the first two-thirds of the preparation is for the prince's revenge in the latter third. The male protagonist Baahubali became the crown prince, and the shrewd and capable Queen Mother Shivagami asked him to go to the people before the coronation ceremony to see how the people lived. Baahubali and the accompanying Katapa met Princess Devashina in Kundala. This can be regarded as the classic "hero save the beauty" part, but the princess has a high martial arts and can also kill the enemy with a knife. There is a shot that cuts the white gauze and only reveals the eyes of the princess, which is very beautiful. I feel that the princess Divas, played by Anushuka Shetty, has a well-proportioned figure and profound features. It is really effective when taken properly.
But a nervous and funny section. In fact, Baahubali stayed in Kundala and pretended to be crazy and could not stop laughing. He was born with supernatural power and wit, showing off his strength and brain power from time to time. The princess had doubts, but could not confirm, and was slightly moved. Later, he tried to turn the tide again. After the real hero saved the United States, the two fell in love, but the real misfortune and the story began.
I really like a little character in this paragraph, that Kumara who cringes at everything, with Baahubali's help and encouragement, has become a warrior who protects women! The growth and transformation of this kind of supporting role character is particularly valuable, and may have the meaning of setting off the protagonist, but when he sees him bravely killing the enemy with a short knife, he will still be moved. And the play scene is very exciting, all kinds of slow motion, punch to the flesh, very visual impact. In the last part of the prince's revenge, it was a physical fight.
Although "Baahubali (Part 2)" is a cool film about Indian mythology, the theme of the film is quite clear, about promise and compliance. Baahubali has always respected her mother, and sincerely follows her childhood teachings and keeps her promises. The two people had a dispute over the matter of the Princess Divas. Baahubali knew that the mother was strong and decided who she wanted to marry without the girl's permission, so he chose to stand on the side of his sweetheart. Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to balance, and finally misunderstandings emerge.
I think that as a person, we still have to insist on kindness, justice and keeping promises, so that we can live up to ourselves, live up to others, and win the true respect and love of others. Baahubali was treated unfairly, but the Indians regarded him as a god, whether it was the chanting at the coronation ceremony or the grief when people learned of his death later, they were all sincere. Because he has the previous virtues, he will have this kind of popular support, and it is also the key to the final revenge.
What surprised me most was that the film also alluded to the issue of inferiority between men and women in India, hoping to improve the status of women in society. In the film, on the one hand, the supreme ruler of Moshe Smurdia is a woman, and her social status is highly respected; on the other hand, the princess of a country cannot decide her marriage and needs to be influenced by power.
But the highly anticipated King Baahubali respects women very much. He can make a bridge with his arms and let the princess walk on it to board the ship. He will never forget the teachings of the queen mother, even in the end, he hopes that someone can take care of her. This awareness of improving the status of women is particularly important, especially in movies such as the "Baahubali" series that are popular in India, showing more sincerity and determination. Perhaps, it can become the box office champion for the above reasons.
