Looking at the trailer, some scenes and the God-shaped Captain Jack have a sense of sight. When the movie started, I forgot about that feeling.
The protagonist played by Aamir Khan is a "real" villain who has no principle for survival and is extremely tricky. Hypocrisy, betrayal, deceit...is his way of survival in troubled times. He can betray anyone for money, and it was not until the righteousness of the family and country turned into lives that died because of him that he awakened his long-buried goodness. So, he defected to the light and used his brilliant mind to defeat the British army. Just when the audience thought he was going to change his mind and become a national warrior with peace of mind, he cowardly prepared to escape. Although the action has risen to the height of national righteousness, the mentality still remains at the level where it was enough to live in the market. Next, the male protagonist turned on the repeated reversal mode between the enemy and ourselves, which was completely impossible to predict with the usual routines, and unexpected reversal surprises ran through the whole film. Little regret, as the protagonist, there is no explanation for the reason why he is so cunning, timid, kind, but obviously lacks guidance. Without this, in persuading the audience and arousing their empathy, it will inevitably lose a lot of persuasion. It would be better if the protagonist, the villain, could be slid over the long foreshadowing clips, reduced and replaced.
There is also a small flaw. Except for the protagonist, other characters are relatively flat, such as the leader of Azad. Just because the first meeting, the male protagonist has a desire for freedom in his eyes, so he fully trusts and entrusts his close relatives and comrades to the male protagonist... It almost led to the annihilation of the army... and the leader's creed is: I am used to trust. For a leader who shoulders the hopes of many comrades in arms and the nation, is such a character a bit silly?
When Indian films followed Aamir Khan to pay attention to social issues, Aamir Khan turned and plunged into national history, and chose to interpret it with his old skills. This film has a strong Aamir Khan style: complex issues simply put, with universal values full of enthusiasm and blood, igniting audiences across races and national borders. That's why we love him...
