Indian carnival, Chinese confused

The release time in India is more than a month earlier than that in China. I have seen this movie in Jaipur, India. It was the diwali festival at that time, and the cinema of Nuoda was packed. At that time, I just wanted to experience Indian movies, but I didn't expect to show Uncle Mi's new film.

So I didn't recognize Uncle Mi riding a donkey until ten minutes after the opening. In the later period, the protagonist and others' magical soldiers won the cheers of the audience again and again. Obviously it's a good movie for Indians. Since there are no subtitles, the movie is in Hindi. When I got home, I watched it again.

but! ! This is the abridged version of the dog day! ! Originally Aamir Khan and the two heroines had a love triangle. But the domestic editing makes people feel that Uncle Mi and the princess of the rebel army only have camaraderie! Only friendship with another dancer. Cut it like this! Absolutely! And as the essence of Indian films, the songs and dances have also been deleted, and the princess's hatred memories have also been deleted, which is simply a piece of shit.

Second, the movie is full of Indian national plot. Domestic audiences often do not understand the history of the East India Company, which relied on its strong military and economic strength to arbitrarily "remove" the kings of the native states and insult the Indians after entering India. So the audience can be unmoved by the lord of the native land covering the protagonist and dying in battle. It is also impossible to understand the reason why Aamir Khan announced the identity of the princess in the later period (because the local people respect the nobles and can obtain the support of the people). The film does not show the history of blood and tears, but Indians understand it, but Chinese audiences don't understand!

Summary: The inability to understand the Indian humor, the incomplete editing, and the inability to understand the Indian national plot are the fundamental reasons for the low rating of this film.

Finally, I complained again, why do foreign films released in China always have to forcibly edit a garbage version? !

    It's Uncle Mi's realistic movie that impresses us more, which is no different from our anti-Japanese drama. The script is neatly written, but the plot is old-fashioned, tedious, and incoherent. It's hard to imagine what the original 160 minutes will look like. Except for the male and female protagonists, the characters are not full, and the motives of the male protagonists are very casual and can be expected. The only thing the movie cares about is the scene, and technically it does have a certain industrial standard, but a lot of your shots are blatantly copying Pirates of the Caribbean.

    There are a lot of references or tributes, which can remind people of many movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, Chaplin, Lord of the Rings, Sedek Bale, Sino-Japanese War, Kung Fu... Aamir Khan is an Indian version of Johnny Deppfan.
