The film "Mumbai Hotel" is based on the true events of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, India on November 26, 2008. Ten young people were at the Taj Mahal Hotel, Central Railway Station, Leopold Cafe, Oberoi The Grand Hotel and the Nariman Building were indiscriminately attacked and killed. The terrorist attack lasted for nearly 59 hours, killing at least 195 people and injuring more than 300. These extreme perpetrators are not revenge in the form of grievances and debts, but very terrifying extreme violent crimes to vent their private anger to the society. On the surface, this film does not clearly express the inclinations and opinions of good and evil in the film. It seems to be just a real restoration of events, but in fact, through the actions of the characters, it still expresses the director's position and attitude on all aspects of human nature, religion, terrorism, and the country. , what to praise, what to judge, at a glance. For example, the chef Hemant Oberoi in the film is the real name of the real character. Hemant Oberoi is a well-known hero in India. He chose to stick to the disaster and saved dozens of lives. In particular, he did not use moral kidnapping to tie the employees to stay with him. Whether it was out of human instinct or his own family and other responsibilities, he fully understood that employees chose to leave. The subconscious escape was not cowardly. Those who are heroes are not cowards who choose to evacuate. In the face of sudden disasters, it is difficult for people to make rational thinking and judgment. For example, the female front desk clerk ignores her own safety, is loyal to her duty, and even hides under the table and calls each room to tell guests not to go out in very dangerous situations. These are very touching. The attack is said to be more famous than ever, thanks to the 72-hour coverage of the attack by the world media. Leopold Cafe also specially preserved the bullet marks on the wall and the traces of the grenade explosion, which made the business even more prosperous. Nariman Building, Leopold Cafe, Taj Mahal Hotel became a tourist attraction. It is very regrettable that I originally planned to travel to India, but the epidemic has forced people to stay in the country.
