1. Story:
"Sudan" tells two stories. The first story is a story of a country gangster who grows into a wrestling champion in order to win the love of a female wrestler. The second story is the story of a former wrestling champion standing on the kickboxing ring to remedy his mistakes and becoming a kickboxing champion. The first story is about "growth", and the second story is about "self-salvation".
Replaced with "Ip Man", this is the rhythm of the series.
It is precisely because of this that "Sudan" appears lengthy.
2. Characters:
"Sudan", there is only one character in the whole film, that is, Sudan.
Only Sudan has a character curve; only Sudan can tell a clear personality trait;
The function of all the other characters is just to promote Sudan's actions with facial makeup: Alpha: well-educated, fluent English, female consciousness awakening/swear to change the stereotyped prejudice against women in the sport of wrestling, independent women; screenwriters trying to shape This kind of alpha, but it didn't actually show up. As a result, Alpha was flat and became the reason for Sudan to learn to wrestle, and the reason for Sudan to stand on the free-fighting ring; Akash: Club manager. Discover Sudan (in the field of free combat). To be precise, the person who discovered it was Akash's father. Alpha's dad: wrestling coach. Let Sultan learn to wrestle. Sultan's friends: Function: Tell Akash the reason why Sultan gave up wrestling and have been with Sultan; Sultan's opponents: Reflect the success and power of Sultan.
These people can't tell/explain what kind of people they are, and it is difficult to find clear words to describe them.
Three, singing and dancing:
India's unique singing and dancing elements can be icing on the cake at any time. But in "Sudan", emmm... not.
I thought it would appear in the scene where the Sultan and Akash got married. Actually, did you show up in Sudan to win the kickboxing (before the penultimate competition), or is it solo? Are you kidding me?
Not only is there no icing on the cake, but some superfluous.
However, give a thumbs up to the lyrics of bgm.
Four, action:
The actions of "Sudan" can be roughly divided into three categories: talent, training, and fight. Talent is presented through a kite that has broken the line, or parkour. This can be achieved by making full use of scene scheduling. It can be very interesting to shoot; training is basically a quick cut of mid-to-close and special shots; fight, the whole film presents a complex and simple imbalance. The basics presented in the "growth" chapter are relatively brief. In the "self-salvation" chapter, basically only the last fight is considered to be more inked.
The above three types of actions are actually very large. To arrange such a large amount of action in the limited 139 minutes, it is necessary to be carefully balanced and complicated. Obviously "Sudan", no. So there is no real Jedi counterattack that the audience expects. What the audience sees is the unconvincing halo of Jack Su/the protagonist.
I don't know what the Indian version of 170min looks like, and will it look different. But as for the Chinese version, 139min, I was fortunate to watch it at home. I was angry that it was 39 minutes longer than 100 minutes. It took me 39 minutes to finish a movie.
