It should be the best disaster movie made in recent years. The director is very good at using the camera to tell the story, the actors don't have many lines, but the narrative and rhythm are very smooth. The characterization and foreshadowing of every detail are left just right, not confusing but also making people want to explore, just like a storyteller's "book buckle". Among the actors, Dev Patel's performance is the best, with few lines. All emotions are conveyed by eyes. There is power in silence and restraint. The young boy in the "slum" is now a mature A capable actor.
The most shocking thing about this kind of disaster film is the phrase "based on true events" in the title. I was very impressed by the Mumbai terrorist attack. I was still studying at university. The morning after the air raid, I just went to work. I had to get off at Southern Cross Station in the center of Melbourne. The free newspaper issued by the train station contained a piece of paper. A front page headline read "Breaking News," accompanied by a photo of the Taj Mahal hotel smoky. Some Indians hurried to the airport by Skybus with heavy suitcases. Although I always say that I don't like Asan, I can still clearly recall the panicked and solemn expressions of those Indians at that moment. In the face of innocent people who died, race is not important, prejudice is not important, only the brilliance of humanity should be remembered.
