Recently, I always see marketing articles similar to "Indian movies are rising and will dominate the world" in public accounts or forums, which makes me both embarrassed and funny. The embarrassment lies in the limitation of domestic subject matter, and the funny lies in the fact that it does not dare to expose and dare to shout is a good movie.
From three fools to pk to wrestling dad ~ starting line, etc., every time an Indian movie is released in China, it shouts for xxx, and even more seriously, it even plays the banner of changing a country. However, when we go to the movies, do we want to see you stand there and teach us a lot, and then use all kinds of awkward camera language to tell us an easy-to-understand truth, which is different from the shoddy Hong Kong movies of the 1980s except for the subject matter What's the difference? I don't think there is a difference. Of course, it is definitely wrong to kill a group of people with one shot. For example, the language and narrative method of "Wrestling, Dad", which was a big hit in China last year, is better, even in a relatively mature Hong Kong film industry. However, relatively speaking, Indian films are touted heavily in China, and the phenomenon of inflated ratings does indeed exist.
Take this movie as an example. For the sake of love, I worked hard to build a toilet. There were countless embarrassing jokes in the middle, and the performance almost gave me goosebumps. There is no need to say much about the narrative style and editing. And it is such a simple film that can't be simpler, the ordinary can't be more ordinary, and even a bit rotten. It got such a high score that it was only the subject matter, and it was just a voice for Indian women, which really made me laugh.
Perhaps, when we see a movie with a fresh theme and dare to shout, we should also think about his industrial level and artistic level. Instead of standing on the stage and shouting "I love my country, I love it" like in old China, I will characterize this person as a good citizen.
