Five reasons to like "The Same Celebrity"

Braden 2022-08-10 16:34:02

Director: Mira Nair, like her "Strangers in Lahore Tea House" and "Desire and Wisdom". I have only watched these two, and her other works will be included in the list. No new Indian movies. Find it out~

Location: Howrah Bridge, Howrah Railway Station, Kolkata Old Town, Ganges River, Taj Mahal...Although I only stayed in Kolkata for a short time, I never forget it~ Later I saw a lot of Kolkata-related Movies, such as: "The Lion", "Buffy's Wonderful Destiny", "Little Photographer's Fantasy World", of course, this "The Same Celebrity" has no less space here than them~

Actor: Irfan Khan, he likes his "Starting Line", "Lunch Box", "Crossing Darjeeling" and "The Youth Pie". He has made a lot of Bollywood literary and artistic films, which has won my heart. I’m curious, why Irfan Khan was born in Jaipur, but rarely shoots movies set in Rajasthan~

Script: Adapted from La Xili's novel "The Same Celebrity" of the same name. Recently, physical bookstores and various online media are pushing this book. Sure enough, the adapted movie is very appetizing, and the novel itself is not necessary to say more~

Lines:

What should I do if I didn't take pictures after running so far? Just keep it in mind. Will you remember today? How long do you have to remember? Remember for the rest of your life, remember that you walked this way with me, and we arrived at a place together, and there was no way down.

For 25 years, I have been missing life in India, and now I will miss life here...
