The owner of the Internet cafe who has posted clippings of Uranus superstar Aryan's photos in his room since he was a child, is a champion of imitation star shows in his hometown every year. Like fans in the global isomorphic star worship mechanism in reality, he is eager to see it with his own eyes. In front of the idol’s door, he celebrated his birthday with his own honor, but for the star, an ordinary fan is just a figure of the sands of the Ganges that can be seen in front of him. He is eager to occupy the idol for five minutes to express his heartfelt wishes. In the eyes of Gao Ruifu, it is almost mission Impossible. Exercising all the stops, in exchange for a slumping blow, Gorif changed his enthusiasm and vowed to use his acting skills and strength to pull his "big brother" Arian off his horse.
The reason for quoting the plot so tirelessly is that although the story of this Indian film "Fan" (Fan) has a routine, it is not tacky. The national idol Shah Rukh Khan plays two roles. The young Goruifu is ignorant of impulse. The middle-aged star Aryan is calm on the surface, but still can't calmly face the sudden fan rebellion. In the interpretation of these two roles, Shah Rukh Khan undoubtedly faced the third test in addition to the different personalities of the two roles, that is, a star role that almost coincides with his acting career and a star that is similar to his own age (Sharu Ke is over fifty years old) The state of the young people who are far apart, and the reconciliation of the two when the roles are exchanged.
Similar themes are shown a lot in reality and on the screen, and even the film can be linked to the text of certain historical works in Hollywood, but the director Manish Shama and the screenwriter Habib Faisal obviously I don't want to repeat an advanced comedy narrative that "after all the hardships finally got my wish". Gourif’s journey to find idols failed shortly after the opening of the film, and the longer story is Gourif’s journey of revenge using his similarity with the idols, and eventually a full-scale frontal conflict with the idols broke out. The intention is to create a great tragedy in life, rather than just being happy.
In this Bollywood production released in 2016, apart from the performance challenge of Shah Rukh Khan playing both himself and the "role", the global geographic landscape has become an effective alternative to traditional singing and dancing scenes. Construction method. This film does not have an independent song and dance drama code. The performances on the stage are produced in response to the needs of the plot. Instead, the plot and landscape unfolded in London or Dubrovnik, in a way that is relatively Indian. European exotics to present the global cultural influence of Bollywood movies (such as having a place in the wax museum and being a Bollywood star in the same situation as Shah Rukh Khan himself, etc.), through fiction The story of the entertainment industry shows the true story of contemporary Indian movies, which is quite different from the movies of previous years that focused on healing travel narratives and traveled all over the world.
Shah Rukh Khan, as a veteran star in the first line of Bollywood today, through his own role as a twenty-year-old young man, he stimulated the well-established Aryan in the entertainment circle to chase cars in the street, and eventually exchanged roles with him in an attempt to counteract Xiang awakens his conscience. This kind of play arrangement is naturally very cartoonish and sloppy. It is a cliché produced to strengthen the rhythm and movement. Looking at it from another angle, "Brain Remnant Fans" actually puts forward a potential danger in the relationship between entertainment industry producers and consumers, especially when electronic information fully controls people’s lives today, facing the mystery of entertainment stars in the traditional sense. With a completely different entertainment ecology under the veil, how to correct the mentality of being a fan and maintain the privacy and dignity of the star as a public figure is a question that both parties need to think deeply. As a Bollywood commercial film that is a dream product to a certain extent, "Brain Remnant Fan" certainly has an element of self-reflection on its own mechanism, but the deliberately created twists and turns of the drama and the action scenes that have lost control are reminding the audience that this is one. Kind of flattery. After asking Arian to give a heartfelt admonition to Goriff, he revealed his ignorance and disdain of the role of the fan as a celebrity as a mainstay of the fan economy. It is also a fact that can no longer be true, but the screenwriter will think of this star. When it was reversed again, it was invested in imitating the fans, which not only completed the steps of Goriff's revenge, but also created a hypothetical solution that was almost based on Goriff's thinking mode in the film. May I ask any mythological character in reality who would be so fidgety to talk to, meet or even visit the home of a stranger with unpredictable potential threats? In the operating mechanism of modern society, it is almost impossible for people like Arian to replace the security mechanism given by the social legal system with morality and personality charm. Conversely, such an insulted personality like Gorrieff is not uncommon in the real world (such as Hinckley who assassinated Reagan for Bojudi Foster’s smile, or Mark Chapman who shot John Lennon), but by The process of turning love from hate to repentance is so clear and lacking a reasonable transition, it can only be a film-like imaginative character shaping. The final outcome of Gao Ruifu also showed the creator's intentional or unintentional return to the order of the film industry. This allegorical legend of loyal fans (even though the fan once personally stated that he no longer loves idols), finally The unshakable end of the entertainment industry.
This is not only an Indian film. The mainstream commercial films in the world rarely use apostasy as the finale. Whenever this abnormal situation occurs, it is probably the time when the local film industry is facing a break. Obviously today's Bollywood does not belong to this kind of situation. , And Shah Rukh Khan’s appeal is the same as it was 20 years ago, except that this time, whether the release in mainland China will become another touchstone, the expectation of this film is really a little bit out of words. But in any case, for the imagination of the "brain fans" counterattack, I must be familiar with and repelled by the Chinese people.
