I have to say that "The First Dream" (
In the process of watching the movie, you can't help but think of "The Three Idiots" ("The Three Idiots"), the same story scene - the famous Indian Institute of Technology, similar story structure - reality and memory The interweaving of the two story lines also directly hits the problems of Indian society - this time it tells the story of how a group of people labeled as "Losers" have worked hard to tear off their labels and win respect, and of course the story itself It is to motivate the son of the protagonist who committed suicide by failing in the entrance examination, and to point out the problem that education generally ignores and how to face failure - after all, no matter in which society, as long as there is competition and winners, most of them will be eliminated. The loser, that is, the loser, but what's more terrifying than failure is that you are content with failure, and you don't even try to get rid of the situation of failure.
But who are these so-called losers, the "losers" in the film? They are still the ones who have successfully "landed" in the highly competitive examinations. They have been admitted to the Indian Institute of Technology - equivalent to the highest institution in India, and also very high in the world university rankings. It seems that there is a saying in India that it is Children who fail to get into the Indian Institute of Technology will go to other prestigious schools like the United States - a real "bull school" in the world, just like the son pointed out at the beginning of the film: his father - that is, in the film The protagonists—ranked more than 300 in the whole of India in the exam that year, their ability to study at Indian Institute of Technology itself proves their success in their previous lives, and their future life will not be too bad. And the reason why they are regarded as "losers" is because the Building 4 where they live is always at the bottom of the school's sports league, while Building 3, which has much better accommodation conditions, is an athlete. Yunji always wins the league championship. This is, of course, influenced by an elite education in the UK - an education that places a strong emphasis on athletic ability rather than purely academic performance. So in fact, the background of the entire film is still limited to the struggle within the social elite, who are actually the losers who put the quotation marks.
In this sense, its entire story is not as critical as "Three Silly", and its attention to how to face failures and setbacks in the student stage is also superficial. It is still a big reunion story sprinkled with icing sugar. Focusing on the results is: don't focus on the results, but on the process. From the classification of film types, according to the theory of the author of the book "Saving the Cat", this film can be regarded as a "Golden Fleece" type, where a group of people form a group to strive for a common purpose.
Because the filming is neat and the characters and laughing points in it are wonderfully set, people are really happy to see it, and I burst out laughing in some places, which is very happy. The actor's performance is also good, but I just learned that the star of this film passed away last year. He was only 34 years old in 1986. It's a pity. Otherwise, with his performance, he should be able to follow the lead actor in "Out of Control Player". The Easter eggs at the end still follow the tradition of "three songs and two dances" in Indian movies, but you will feel that the scheduling of the shots and the performances of the actors are really good, and you can see the maturity and support of the powerful film industry behind it.
