Although I just watched this movie recently, I watched 1 and 2 together, and when I watched it, I tried to persuade myself to not care about the so-called open-hungry plots. But I was still shocked by the part of climbing the waterfall. Whether it was the music or the beauty of the dance, I liked this waterfall so much that I couldn't help but connect with the ancient cultivators. Isn't the process of ideological experience the same.
In fact, when I was watching, I was thinking, King Baahubali is a hero in the eyes of the Indians, so who is the hero in the eyes of the Chinese?
After thinking about it, I think of Zhang Yimou's "Hero".
Heroes in the West are the propaganda of individualism; although heroes in the eyes of Indians also advocate individualism, they must be blessed with divinity; and what about Chinese heroes? I think it should be collectivism, those who put the small for the big, and they are usually nameless. For the sake of the world, Changkong can die, and for the sake of the world's broken sword and Wuming, he can give up the opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin. And because of this great righteousness for the world, the King of Qin is buried without a name. The righteousness of the world transcends personal emotions and transcends life and death.
The soundtrack of this movie is really atmospheric, and I also like this KhoyaHain very much. Many comments say that Chinese movies are not as good as Indian movies, and the soundtrack is not as good as foreign ones. I don't think so. It is true that because of the popularization of Western education and the development of individualism in recent years, this kind of Western-style individual heroism makes people bloody, so brought into the Chinese context, the rebellious Nezha and the unyielding Monkey King are very popular. It's not impossible to make people feel more immersive. Of course, advocating the righteousness of the world in peacetime is too far away for individuals, and it does not conform to the ideas of modern people. In fact, I still want to say that we can have more understanding and confidence in traditional national culture, otherwise we will not even have one Grandma didn't dare to help.
