Laugh at India with Americans

After watching this interesting film, instead of writing a review, I wanted to write an Indian Rajah. In the age of underdeveloped information, I grew up watching movies, and the earliest impressions of India came from the works of Indian national treasure director Sayer Jere and the Indian documentaries of French director Louis Malu. Back then, it was a big deal for foreigners to enter India to shoot documentaries. In fact, there was nothing special about that, except that the director was a French New Wave film star at that time.
Unexpectedly, Wes Anderson, an American director who was born in 1969, has no professional training, and understands the way of making movies just by watching movies, actually came to the idea of ​​making movies in India from the above-mentioned impression of Indian movies. It's not easy!
This dear friend often "kicks" when he makes movies, he also writes and directs, acts as an artist, and chooses music. It is said that each of his films has his imprint, and it is easy to recognize that it is from his handwriting when looking at his works. I had never seen his director's work before watching this movie, so I have to declare that his film features are "supposedly". I've heard The Royal Tenenbaums for a long time, but because the word Tenenbaums is hard to remember, even if I sometimes walk into a video store, I always forget to find this movie. It looks like I'm going to make up my mind to find this drama to get to know him better.

I have been to India for a few days, and I probably have some knowledge of India, so I really admire that Wes Anderson, who has never been to India before, can represent India so appropriately in this film. The American film production team made films in India, which properly presented the poor and backward face of India, but they were all within the range of acceptable ridicule, and did not make the Indian government and people dissatisfied or disturbed. Recalling that in the past, advanced countries went to backward countries to shoot documentaries and feature films, which often caused controversy, but now there are few similar situations, and it can be seen that the times are progressing after all.
This time, Wes Anderson is filming a comedy in India, which makes the audience laugh and laugh at the uncomfortable environment and scenes in India. Funny and humorous images can undoubtedly make everyone feel good about India.
There are a lot of people in the world who are unwilling, dare not, and don't like to visit India, and they also don't want to watch Indian movies, so the funny, relaxed, American-made "Good Fortune Co., Ltd." will be an appropriate icebreaker. . American films understand the tastes of most audiences in the world and know how to make India into easy-to-eat lollipops. Of course, this film will not be a true portrayal of India today, but it can make a lot of people who have never been interested in India start to get in touch with India. After all, it is a contribution.
"Good Fortune is a Co., Ltd." has now been painted, and it will probably have to be found in a video store to see it. In addition to recommending that you go to the DVD, I also suggest that you go to the official website of the film to watch it. The website is rich in content. There are many behind-the-scenes clips of the filming, as well as clips of the film. It takes more than half an hour to watch it, and you can also have a good impression of India.
I have seen a lot of the official website of the film, and the webpage of this film even has commercial TV commercials and India tourism promotions, after all, it opened my eyes. This year, India is one of the hottest BRIC countries in the financial world. People who have absolutely no interest in India, if they want to keep up with the world economic trend, it is not only appropriate but necessary to start by watching this movie.
Based on drama, this in-depth film is very impressive. The content is about three American brothers who do not bite the strings and live in different places. After the death of their father, they made an appointment to go to India together for a spiritual journey. Go to a Catholic monastery far from the world and visit the nun's mother who is the abbot there.
Three American brothers, India, a Catholic convent, a nun, and a mother, these five elements are actually fused together. I really admire the three screenwriters of the film, Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola (the son of the great director Coppola) and Jason Schwartzman (he and Roman Coppola is a relative, and in the film he is an actor as one of the three brothers.) The film is entertaining and a good result of the collective creation. (Finish)
