A wealthy girl who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, a young and handsome male laundryman, a middle-aged painter, and an unhappy married woman, the four stories occasionally intersect, all under the big screen of the city of Mumbai . The outline of the city is clear and vivid, and we know that the people there are living different lives. Particularly true and full, without false superficiality. This has nothing to do with Amir khan, and it's just as good to play another person, although his role is the one I am least satisfied with. The artist's setting is of course very romantic, which is in line with the overall temperament of a literary film, but I don't think it fits well with Mumbai. It's not that there are no artists in mumubai, there will be artists in every city. It's just that he's not the best representative of the city. I thought he was representing the English-speaking India and upper-class Mumbai together with a wealthy girl, and it was a very natural thing for him to be infected by the video tape because of the artist's characteristics, and it was also in line with the overall temperament of a literary film. Isn't India a developed electronics industry? If you change to a legendary IT executive fiancé or something, the love conflict with a rich girl and a laundry worker will be more intense. At the same time, you will be moved a little bit by the video tape and be haunted by sadness. There is a transformation process. I don't know if it will be good too? It's just that such a role would be very difficult to create.
Hopefully someone will be able to tell a Beijing story like this. Bei Ai, I love your sister. Olympic propaganda film, announcing your sister. The charm of a city is definitely not in the things in the propaganda film, but in the ordinary and special life of the people there, which creates the temperament of the city.
I thought of the book Istanbul I was reading, the memory of a city.
Mumbai, Beijing, Istanbul, megacities with a long history of alternating old and new with sharp contradictions between rich and poor, there are always complicated stories to tell.
