1. The whole film is adapted from a true story, the story is highly reductive, and a group is drawn from the case (India detains more than 200 Pakistani suspects, Pakistan detains more than 400 An Indian suspect. Some of them are innocent border civilians like the male protagonist in the film, who were arrested and charged with the crime, because the official needs to solve the case quickly to calm the hearts of the people and divert their anger). The story finally waited 23 years, and all that came back was a corpse. However, in order to fulfill the male protagonist's last wish, the female protagonist (that is, the male protagonist's sister) began to run around, and together with a Pakistani lawyer in exile in Sweden, rescued innocent Pakistani civilians imprisoned in an Indian prison and achieved certain results. At the end of the story, there is still warmth after despair, and it does not bring the audience's emotions into hatred and anger. At the same time, there are many golden sentences in the film, such as:
1. A voice calling for peace is louder than a thousand voices calling for hatred.
2. Even if you are in anger, even if you try a hug, you may find a brother, not an enemy.
3. It is written in the Qur'an that to punish an innocent man, or to kill an innocent man, is to kill all mankind.
So in general, it is still a realistic film full of universal values. At the same time, it should be pointed out that the progress of the rhythm in the film seems a little procrastinated, with a total of 131 minutes, and there are some fluctuations in the middle of the film that are too blunt, suddenly hopeful and suddenly shattered, suddenly happy dancing and suddenly stopped, etc. At the same time, because of the lengthy and jumpy rhythm of the film, it will highlight that the director's sensational techniques are a bit blunt, reducing the realism and reflection that may be more profound to a certain extent, which is a pity. Of course, as a film work, the artistic expression of this film is complete, and it does not have the mission of carrying a grand historical perspective. Stopping at the emotions of the common people and the brilliance of human nature, so as to avoid the blunt preaching caused by the grand propositions that he is unable to grasp, can also be regarded as a neat trick of the director Oman Kumar. Of course, the heroine Aishwarya Rai's acting skills are great, she looks beautiful without makeup, and expresses the perseverance and bravery of Indian women, which is worthy of respect.
2. In recent years, South Korea has also produced many similar films that reflect the issue of the DPRK and the ROK. You may wish to turn it over to see how the Korean filmmakers’ performance techniques and historical attitudes are similar and different from those of India;
3. After World War II, I feel the rise of the concept of modern nation-state on a global scale and the evolution of the international pattern under the wave of colonial independence. The powder keg of India and Pakistan, the DPRK and the ROK, the Taiwan Strait, Berlin, and other parts of the world, the instability of the border provinces and the tense political confrontation between the border residents. Think back to the time when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party ruled the Yangtze River, and a "border citizen" like me who grew up by the Yangtze River, I don't know how many shells came from the other side.
