"Bollywood Robot Love", the Indian movie makes me feel a lot

After watching movies for so many years (since I bought a computer in 2006 and watched a lot of movies), it can be said that I have read countless movies of various colors. Although most of them are Hollywood movies, I have seen some Mandarin movies, Japanese movies, Korean movies, Iranian movies, and Indian movies. But there has never been a movie like Bollywood Robot Love that made me feel so emotional that I had to write something.


The relationship with this movie was actually established a few months ago. At that time, everyone had a Youku video sharing the amazing computer stunts of Indian movies on the Internet. It was shocking enough. Unfortunately, I didn't know the title of the movie, so I regretted putting it down for the time being.


Today, I was tinkering with the pps for linux software at home, looking for a movie to test the working of pps. I saw this name in a science fiction film, and the clip of the amazing computer stunt in an Indian movie a few months ago flashed in my mind. With doubts and extravagances, after watching this movie, it did not disappoint. It's the Indian movie I've always wanted to see, yes, that's the first point. The most important thing is the film itself, and what this film can reflect is worth thinking about by Chinese people.


First of all, the movie itself is remarkable in terms of actors, script (plot), special effects, cost, etc. The heroine, Aishwarya Rai, does have enough hauntings, but that's not the point. I don't want to mention his excellent performance in the play. I believe that many film critics have mentioned it. After reading her introduction on Baidu, after expressing amazement at her beauty, she expresses admiration for her charisma. Among them:


"Although this beautiful Indian woman is eager to enter the Hollywood scene, one thing she has always been hesitant about is whether to perform kiss scenes on the screen."


In Bollywood In "Robot Love", there is really only the act of kissing the cheek, the same feeling is very warm. Just because of the kiss scene, you can give up your dream of Hollywood development opportunities. Think about the crushes in the domestic entertainment circle, no matter what Hollywood is needed, it can be a movie; which kiss scene, bed scene/unspoken rules are not good, there are many of them Take the initiative to throw hugs. Of course, there are reasons for the system and the environment. Maybe not all of you are willing to do this, but you have a choice! You can be like Aishwarya Rai who gave up Hollywood, and don't step into the Chinese entertainment circle. But you guys don't, so I admire Aishwarya Rai!


The script says that perfection goes too far, and excellence is well deserved. The special effects are one of the highlights of the film. They are real, smooth, fine, and powerful, which are completely comparable to the special effects of many Hollywood movies. There is still a gap compared to the blockbuster "Avatar". But what about Avatar, which cost only $35 million ($93.758 million at the box office)? The production cost of 500 million US dollars plus the marketing cost of 150 million US dollars, hey, my God, it is really not even the smallest part of the family. Big touch for a small budget movie!


Things other than movies are even more thought-provoking. It has to be said that part of the reason for this film being rated so highly is her Indian identity. The country of India, in addition to being a bit positive when we talk about the origin of Buddhism. Others are mostly negative impressions, it seems that the "Little Jiangnan" problem in southern Tibet is the main reason. I remember when I was in the "Maoist stage" in college (roughly in my junior year), when I talked about India, I was "Asam", and when I talked about Korea, it was "Bangzi". But after that stage, I realized how ridiculous I was. His own extremes are actually derived from their own ignorance. And ignorance comes from a narrow vision and a closed mind. Now I am more accustomed to understanding the same thing from multiple aspects, especially from a completely relative perspective, which is really beneficial.


Great-power chauvinism (or Han nationalism) among young netizens is particularly prevalent. But in fact, most of them are frogs at the bottom of the well, and they don't know much about the outside world. In fact, how much depth do they know about themselves? !


For a country that chants "rise" all day, how much does it know about its neighbors? It seems that the current situation is that only the United States is leading the way, and the others are completely ignored. It is no wonder that reality is full of such phenomena as extreme and absurd. But I'm still calm. Now, thanks for the following sentence:


"When anything gives you a headache, just think about being in China, then everything will be taken for granted."


Our disregard for India, our disregard for Japan, our disregard for Russia, etc. really left me speechless. In particular, I have been studying some things about Islam recently, and I feel even more deeply. The thirst for foreign knowledge in the Islamic Arab Empire made the Japanese feel ashamed. After the Prophet Muhammad founded Islam, unified the Arab ministries, and then swept the Middle East, West Asia, North Africa, Spain, and established an Arab empire in the name of "jihad", one of the actions made me admire the Arabs.


The Arabs were originally a backward tribe in what is now Saudi Arabia. So after the jihad, there was an urgent need to enrich the knowledge of the Arabs outside of religion for the needs of imperial rule. The Arab Centennial Translation Movement lasted roughly 200 years from AD 800 to AD 1000. During this period, the government organized, encouraged and sponsored a large number of systematic and complete translations of various books from ancient Greece, Persia and India, enriching the treasure house of Arabic knowledge, and systematically established Arabic philosophy and Arabic civilization. This translation movement largely preserved ancient Greek culture and laid the foundation for the Renaissance in post-medieval Europe. Of course, Europeans who "forget their roots" are deliberately ignoring this, just as they ignore China's influence on European progress.


It is a pity that in the Islamic world, success is also Islam, and failure is also Islam. Islam is now the biggest obstacle to the progress of the Islamic world. Fortunately, China does not have such deep religious shackles. Compared with religion, China's cultural constraints can be said to be negligible, and Chinese culture has always been practical.


I sometimes have a 100-day dream of what I would be like if I were the leader of the country. Can there be another "hundred-year translation movement", and another "Renaissance"? ! But it's really a pipe dream, you know, and so do I. Because you and I are not "official second generation"!


The last sentence of the movie can be said to be the highlight. The seventh brother of the robot was finally dismantled and displayed in the museum (why? Go to the movies yourself! ^_^), the little girl who visited asked the teacher who explained "why", and the seventh brother secretly said to the little girl "because I can think ". Understand for yourself, anyway, I was shocked.
