The compound of music and inspiration is emotion. This Indian film basically abandoned the traditional Bollywood model of curry singing and dancing, and implanted hip-hop style that is more flammable, cooler, and more rhythmic. Of course, what is more interpreted from this film is the cultural conflict, and it also reflects that Indian films are still taking the same path that we have walked, that is, the so-called realism subject matter under the inferiority mentality. This kind of subject overplays the inadequacy of its own culture and the country's decay, and it still feels a bit pleasing to the West. I have been to India, and it is indeed a developing country with a wealthy area adjacent to slums. As in the past period in our country, India’s many artistic expressions of the middle and lower levels of society are prone to excessive self-deprecation or over-arrogance. At the same time, it is also constantly seeking a more objective cultural expression in the contradiction that is prone to extremes. The Hindi rap in the film, in addition to adding music, is actually a big barrier to foreign language people. To put it bluntly, you can't hear it well. In the music hippop, I seem to hear the shadows of Chinese musicians such as Jay Chou and Hua Chenyu, which shows that they are still very international. In fact, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a bit of hip-hop style under the Indian style, especially the ending song. This is what the film really should express, that is, the fusion of culture in a gesture of equality. There are too many emotional conflicts, love, affection, and friendship in the plot. For every emotion and character, the film strives to express positively in front of realism. This is a relatively mature artistic expression. For example, underworld friends in friendship, drug trafficking forced by real livelihoods, also have morality; in love, girlfriends who succumb to the various imprisonment of women in Indian families and marriages in reality, but also express their westernized free core , The kind of straightforward and impulsive cynical, in sharp contrast with the traditional women who endure the idea of male superiority and inferiority; in the family relationship, I still feel a bit regretful, it is the last dialogue between father and son, this is the explosion of father’s acting skills, if The ending is a cruel reality plus mutual understanding and tolerance between family members. I think it will be perfect. If it is a successful ending, I think it will be very low. Of course, the film did not give a clear end, but left an open ending. , Is also an unsatisfactory result. Regarding inspiration, the transition of this movie is actually relatively plain. Except for the apparent opposition of the father, the ruthlessness of the boss, the misunderstanding of his girlfriend, and the embarrassment of lack of money, it is not too cruel, but in reality, it is a real blow. It comes from the despair of natural “cannot choose”, “choose too early” and “choose too late” the day after tomorrow. People usually call this kind of blow, “destiny”... People who stand on the stage of success generally don’t see it. Those who are far better than others, far from others who can only hope for nothing. Realism wants to express this kind of helplessness, this kind of powerlessness to face fate.
Returning to the discussion of culture, Western culture is nothing more than modern success. Those Westerners express a sense of superiority in their own way. Many seemingly philanthropic behaviors also have an attitude of overlooking in their bones. In conflict, other cultures also produce various reflections, even self-doubt and self-denial. But it is undeniable that the cultures that have survived to this day have experienced countless destiny devastations. They are all ideological systems with golden cores and strong vitality. They are the ideological inheritance of countless wise men, brave men, and noble men. Culture will be more dazzling in the blending, but there is no need to laugh at predecessors and others. If hippop can only express rebellion and self-confidence, it is just a form of expressing emotions for the younger generation. That's it... but I believe it is not!
