Indian cinema refers to Indian films and the Indian film industry, which started at the end of the 19th century. India is an important film producing region in the world. India's film production is the highest in the world, mainly to meet the huge domestic demand in India. At the same time Indian films are also very popular in countries where there is a large number of Indian immigrants.

Ji Yumeng has analyzed "Little Lolita's Uncle Monkey God" and "Wrestling! After Daddy, I found another Indian treasure movie. Of course, let's not play warmth this time, let's discuss human nature! In 2018, such a film was released in India. The plot was reversed and reversed, and it told the story of a deadly "blind" pianist who had several fights with the murderer after witnessing a murder. Although the film has comedy and horror elements, these elements are not significant, and more are the advancement of the plot. It made me realize that India can also produce very tense works.

A pianist, Akash (Ayusman Khurana), who pretends to be a blind man, accidentally breaks into the scene of the arrest and witnesses the hostess Simi (Tab) and her lover Manola (Manav Vighi). After cleaning up the body of the hostess Plummer (Anil Dhawan), Akash, who left the murder scene, hesitated between "blind" and "not blind", but he did not expect the femme fatale Simi and her His lover was already one step ahead. Simi first came to Akash's restaurant where she worked part-time, and acted in front of Akash and the owner of the restaurant, "My husband actually let me dove on the wedding anniversary", and then went directly to Akash's house. , to tempt him in every possible way, screaming mask, poisoning in front of him, and even pulling out a pistol, Akash raised his hands to surrender, and encountered all kinds of unexpected experiences.

Indian movies contain a lot of Indian-style songs and dances.

To create a gorgeous atmosphere, mostly celebrations, most of the shooting scenes are studio interiors.

Various national characteristics are mixed in the film clips.

In the film "The Tuner", the plot of the dance is weakened, there is almost no dance, but the music is full of music from beginning to end. The tunes played by the male protagonist in various environments and in different moods are mesmerizing, seemingly bringing the audience into the concert scene. Yu Meng felt very regretful that he didn't go to the cinema to watch this film, the audio-visual effect should be better!

A successful suspense movie will definitely make a lot of preparations for a murder or crime, which makes people feel unsurprising, because everything is traceable. Let's take a look at Plummer's death first.

First of all, Plummer and Simi are an old couple. The marriage stories of old couples and young wives are always the talk of people after dinner. While Simi was cooking, Plummer's daughter called her father. During the phone call, she was very concerned about his father's health, and ended the call with "Okay, goodbye auntie." Attentive viewers can be found here Finding that Plummer's daughter didn't like her father's new wife, she ended the call with a erratic look on her face, full of disdain. The stepdaughter's disrespect, of course, the young woman does not have much patience to manage this relationship, at most it is a superficial peace of mind.

Second, Simi freaks out when Plummer is filming the cooking scene for Simi. Although Simi explained afterwards that she was preparing for an audition, the madness just now was all acting. In fact, the attentive audience can find out here that she is the real her at this time, she is tired of the days of disguising, and she has lost interest in the old man in front of her. Because from the corners of her eyes and brows, there are more disdain and squeezed smiles.

On the eve of Plummer and Simi's wedding anniversary, Plummer was watching an old movie while Simi was reading a book. When Plummer saw the highlight clip, he asked his beautiful wife to come and watch it, and Simi said slowly: "Plummer, I have watched it ten times." Attentive viewers can find that Simi Tired of Plummer being the same, the two people's hobbies and hobbies have become completely different, after all, Simi is still very young! Poor Plummer has already planned an anniversary surprise for Simi, sad!

There are many foreshadowings in front, and now it seems that everything is traceable! Simi's derailment and murder are actually phenomena that go with the flow.

Another point of the film is that the plot is reversed and reversed, you never know when someone will stand by your side. The first second, it was the doctor and kindhearted people who saved Akash, and the next second, a group of people planned to sell Akash's kidney and then split the money. Later, Akash used his "third eye" to save himself, and several people began to figure out how to extort the 10 million from Simi. You thought that someone was finally willing to help the hero at this time, but the mother and son tied up Akash again a moment later.

In fact, everything is normal, because there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. The mother and son can temporarily stand beside Akash for 10 million, and of course they can abandon Akash for a little more money. It's suspense and plot reversal, but it's actually human nature. There are no permanent friends and enemies, only permanent interests.

For me, the best part is the ending of the movie. People who believe in the idea that people are kind will believe Akash's account of Sufi: Akash was saved by the rampage of a rabbit, who was still blind. And those who feel that Akash has become dark will think that he killed the doctor and Simi, and that he has gained wealth and brought his eyes back to light. After all, the choice of Akash in the film is based on Akash's description! The open ending of the film still leaves me unsure, what is the truth?

"The Tuner" has a solid theatrical foundation, and its story is inspired by the 2010 blockbuster French short film of the same name. In just 14 minutes, it portrays a piano tuner pretending to be a blind man and what he "saw". The world, and after he broke into a murder scene, he raised the suspense and tension to the extreme, and the gunshot at the end was even more magical, becoming a textbook-like existence in suspense dramas. On the basis of the French short film of the same name, "The Tuner" has made many unique and breakthrough expansions. Looking closely at the pilot poster, broken glasses, misplaced piano keys, spilled coffee, sharp syringes, and so many other elements all play a key role in the film. There are as many as 50 reversals, and each reversal point is like facing "Schrödinger's cat". If you don't witness it with your own eyes, you will never know what will happen next.

Indian movies, because of the appearance of "The Tuner", once again let people see the charm of Indian movies.

    On how to turn a good idea into a bad story. All kinds of violations, messes, forced reversals.

    One of the things that impressed me the most about Indian movies is that they can be tough to tell the story well.
