I was rushing to this film and playing [drama], so I watched it, but this is actually just a two-and-a-half-hour romance film. And in terms of plot alone, it's a very disappointing script. The only reason I can watch it is because this movie is indeed a visual feast, with all kinds of gorgeous exotic costumes, scenery, songs and dances, and all kinds of handsome guys and beauties!
Maybe because I have lived in the US for a long time, the aesthetics are a bit different from those in China. So to me, Bajirao, even his younger brother, this mature man with a beard and muscles is actually quite handsome; on the contrary, I have no feelings for all kinds of popular creampies in China, and even think that several of them are super cunts.
Let’s talk about India first: (You can skip it)
India’s territory is bigger than that of European countries. Moreover, India and China are very similar in many places. They are all four ancient civilizations, and there are almost no faults in their history. However, India is not like China. Its territory is basically divided most of the time, and it is ruled by different people and different dynasties.
And more importantly, unlike China, which is mostly Han and most dynasties either embraced Taoism or Buddhism, Indians have many races and religions. It is one of the countries most deeply influenced by religion in the world. The influence of religion has penetrated into every part of social life and culture in India. Almost all Indian films will have traces of religion, as small as a scene with religious patterns in the background. to various worships.
In this film, there is actually a more complicated religious background. At that time, India was ruled by the Mughal Empire. Just looking at the word Mughal can see that Mongol is related; so Mughal is a descendant of Genghis Khan.
In India, the Mughal Empire that ruled at that time compared to China was like the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. They were all foreign iron hoofs to overturn the original dynasty, and foreigners ruled the locals. However, as I said earlier, India is often divided and closed. Ordinary people don't really care much about who is the king. What Indians care about is religious belief.
Well, the local people in India certainly believe in Hinduism, but the upper-class nobles of the Mughal Empire are Muslims and believe in Islam. (Mao is wrong, Muslims are the names of people who believe in Islam, don't think they are different religions.) But fortunately, a Mughal king with a high IQ, the third king implemented a policy similar to that of the Manchu and Han family. , allowing Muslims and Hindus to have equal status, and implement a policy of cultural integration and religious tolerance. The territory of the Mughal Empire that entered the prosperous age at that time included almost the entire Indian subcontinent, as well as Afghanistan and other places in Central Asia.
However, not long after entering the prosperous world, it declined. In the later period, a king wanted to engage in a Hitler-style dictatorship and racism, in an attempt to make Islam the only religion in the country. As mentioned earlier, the significance of religion to the Indians is no less than the significance of hair growth to the Han Chinese. You asked me to shave my hair. The Chinese have traditionally kept their hair long for thousands of years; and Hinduism has been around for so long, so the indigenous peoples of India must be against it.
The country of the male lead and the country of the female lead were two of the countries that fought against the Mughal Empire at that time. And the male protagonist Bajirao is really super handsome, he has basically unified half of India at that time, winning 41 consecutive wars without defeat!
As for the heroine, she is a Rajput, and her Rajput father also believes in one of the Hindu religions, but the heroine's mother is a Muslim. As mentioned earlier, high-IQ kings once engaged in a policy of racial integration, so they would let their Muslim princesses marry the Hindu kings and engage in marriage to gain people's hearts. In other words, it is actually very similar to China. Those small countries are vassals of the Mughal Empire. They pay tribute to Mughal, but they have autonomy over their territories, similar to China and Korea in ancient times. Speaking of the heroine, I'm super surprised that her mother is married to his father, so the child should follow his father's religion, right? Why is the heroine still pretending to be a Muslim? So weird.
All the above nonsense, just want to show that India is a very diverse place compared to China. And it doesn't matter if you don't know the above history, because this movie is just a Qiong Yao drama.
As an aside, one thing I want to say about Indians is that the Indians I know basically have dark skin, or brown, dark yellow skin; but strangely, the mainstream Indian aesthetics are very similar to the Philippines, and their stars Basically, they are all "white", and many have the outline of Middle Eastern race. (However, India is right next door to the Middle East, and it is not surprising that it often looks like the Middle East. In addition, India was a British colony before, and there are not a few Eurasian mixed races.)
Now let’s talk about this movie . :
Mastani, the heroine of this film, is very beautiful, and her eyebrows are relatively strong. When watching movies, many times I think she is not as beautiful as the second female wife Kashibai. Kashibai combines sexy, glamorous and playful and lively well, and Mastani's actor I can't think of other adjectives other than noble and cool.
Mastani is the first female, her Muslim costume is more beautiful than Kashibai's Indian costume. To put it simply, I do prefer the large skirt and veil of Muslims. The strong colors of India are a little bit frustrating for me, and only the real beauty can hold it.
Indian clothing is a variety of gorgeous dresses with strong colors.
As for the role of the movie, I prefer the role of the second female first wife Kashibai, from the playful and cute when she was in love with her husband at the beginning, to the sadness of being betrayed by her husband, stubborn and unconvinced. What's even more rare is that she has never done anything bad, even if she is jealous and going crazy, she just chooses to arm herself, a very likable role.
On the contrary, the heroine Mastani, although she is the female lead, although her costumes are more beautiful, although the movie tries to make her a person who can sing and dance, know how to ride and use a sword woman, such a look. But I'm still speechless about the Mastani character.
In my words, Mastani in the movie is just a madman who can only talk about true love. This movie is simply wrong. The theme of the whole article is to praise a true love that is better than life, and can ignore the worldly brains. I very much agree with what the 'villain' in this movie said, the heroine can abandon her country's people for true love, and only go to the hero's country to be the hero's mistress.
Hostess Mastani
Moreover, this actor often gives me the feeling that he is using too much force. Those big eyes are already big enough, and they stare so wildly that they feel like their eyes are about to fall out of their sockets~mamamia~
In addition, after watching the whole movie, I still can't understand how the hero and heroine fall in love.
Maybe the movie is about ten minutes of the brave Princess Mastani disguised as a man and broke into the tent of the male protagonist, asking the male protagonist to relieve the crisis in her country. Of course, the male protagonist refused to agree first, and then was persuaded by the princess, and then the two fought together on the battlefield or something. but! Would I say that when I watched this paragraph, I kept complaining about the beautiful disheveled hair of the heroine in my heart? !
Her Royal Highness, that is the battlefield! That's the Indian desert! Shouldn't that be hot? Shouldn't there be a lot of wind and dust? Why don't your hair tie up when you're riding a horse? Even when the battlefield kills the enemy, so many enemies are squirting blood wildly. It's not scientific at all, and it makes me play in a second.
When the battlefield came down, the hero and heroine returned triumphantly, and the heroine still performed dance performances in her own country for the hero to watch. At that time, I was wondering why the princess would come out to dance. No civilized country with a bit of rules would let a noble girl play such a role of welcoming guests and making people happy, unless it was selling women for honor or something. Sure enough, there is no problem for the female protagonist to perform in her own country, but when she dances in the male protagonist's country, she is demoted as a dancer and degenerates. It is really speechless. By the way, in the first song and dance of the movie, when the heroine danced in her own country, I was quite speechless about the song she sang. At that time, it was not a festival equivalent to the Spring Festival, and then the heroine sang a love song. Of course, I found out later that these songs and dances actually had little to do with the atmosphere of the plot at that time.
The plot of the whole movie, I feel that I don't know what to do.
Watching the male protagonist give a dagger to the female protagonist for unknown reasons, plus the line at the time, the male and female protagonists hugged and talked face to face, all made me think that this was a hero falling in love with a beauty, and the beauty was intentional, so naturally it was the man The Lord is asking to marry the princess. Even after the male protagonist left and the female protagonist didn't go to see him off, I just regarded it as the female protagonist who was reluctant to part.
In the end, when the female lead went to the male lead's country, the male lead said that he did not know the female lead's nation, and giving a dagger meant that the male wanted to marry the female. Oh my god, you were so ambiguous with a lady in front of you! If you don't know this custom, then you should also know that there is such a thing as a token of love in the world, right? Since you were not prepared to be responsible at the beginning, why should you send an object to tease the girl's heart?
Then, after the male protagonist understands it clearly, he is moved by the madness of the female protagonist, and he chases after the ruins where the female protagonist lives, and tells the female protagonist that if you don't regret it, I will marry you, but it is undocumented and no one will admit it.
It was originally a ruin, and I had to run two parts to get in the rain.
God, you have to swear to God, why do you have to rush into the booming rain to swear that I love you, you love me, and I want to have sex with you without a match. God, the heroine and her maid were already in the ruins, so why bother running outside the ruins to soak in the rain. . .
It was originally a ruin, and I had to run two parts to get in the rain.
The plot in the middle of the film is how the male and female protagonists really love first: the male protagonist betrays his original partner, contradicts his mother, disagrees with his younger brother and friends, and even tries to rebel against religion, etc., all because of his true love. This is simply drunk! I really don't understand! !
In fact, when I saw the male protagonist rebelling against religion, I thought the male protagonist was because of his long-term victories. In addition, when the male protagonist Bajirao was the prime minister in history, the king was indeed a decoration. As a powerful minister, Bajirao was basically the uncrowned king. So I thought the male protagonist was ready to be arrogant and crazy to challenge religion.
However, the truth is that I think too much! This is really just a story of an Indian religious overbearing president who fell in love with me. The male protagonist just wants to do this and that for the female protagonist to highlight his deep affection.
There is also a detail that impressed me, that is, a scene about the male lead's original wife Kashibai.
Later, even if no one in the male protagonist's family liked the female protagonist, after the male protagonist fought against each other in various ways, the male protagonist also changed his family's palace, the palace that the second female second wife originally supervised and arranged, to the name of the true love Mastani, and became the Mastani Palace.
When the male protagonist goes to welcome the true love home, of course no one welcomes the true love female protagonist. Then the original wife Kashibai came out and said that she came out as the hostess, I just wanted to give your highness a favor, and I was not at all happy for you to come. I just wanted to say that the second female is good, this kind of scumbag should scold them and tell them that they are not happy with them, and don't care about them in the future.
The second female first wife Kashibai
result! The second female turned around and hid by herself and cried! ! Oh my god! ! ! Then since you want to be a good boy, and you have done all the things that forced people's hearts to welcome the true love mistress, why did you say that kind of rude words before?
Summary:
God knows why a script like this is written, it just doesn't make sense.
However, for the gorgeous and grand scenes of Indian Bollywood, as well as the jubilant singing and dancing, it is still more point than many movies, and it is worth watching.
It should even be mentioned that the other party even did the opening clip special effects with sincerity, at least my eyes were attracted from the beginning. And the lens transition is very comfortable and natural, and the color use is superb.
It can be said that except for the problem with the plot of the script, the rest of the setting, shooting and special effects are all excellent. After all, it's a decent commercial film.
