I believe that almost many people are like me. The first time I came into contact with Aamir Khan was the movie "Three idiots making trouble in Hollywood". That movie created an unprecedented box office myth of Indian movies, with funny dialogues and twists and turns in the plot. With the perfect ending in tears, the audience all exclaimed that the talent of this Indian Tomboy is against the sky.
In 2017, Aamir Khan's new film once again pushed the most handsome national treasure actor in India to the altar. Before the movie was launched in mainland China, I made up a few movies of Uncle Khan, and this "Mumbai Diary", after "I Drop a God" and "Once Upon a Time in India", once again deceived me into tears The masterpiece (forgive the sense of fragility I cultivated in the bad domestic films).
As a non-professional movie watcher, I have no writing skills and professional movie knowledge, so I just want to analyze why this movie moved me.
First of all, the whole film creates multiple strong visual atmospheres. The DV images that are constantly interspersed in the film, the low-quality picture, and the snowflake screen, set off the old streets of Mumbai, with a deep sense of age and depression. The three letters keep touching the hearts of the audience, but the final result is regrettable and sad. Do you feel heavy with the empty eyes of the dementia old lady outside the room? As an amateur photographer, the heroine showed us the city's style and handsome Indian lads with photos. The last painting of the same male number one. Is there a moment when you feel like you are watching a small fresh movie?
Secondly, this film allows us to see everything in this city. The concept of class is strong, the gap between rich and poor is huge, education is backward, drugs are rampant, gang struggle is common, and human feelings are weak.
The gap between class and money makes us unlovable. The handsome Indian guy fell in love with the rich lady, but the cynicism of family and friends, coupled with the boss's dismissal, made him realize that they were not from the same world. At the end of the story, he caught up with her car and gave her the address of the painter. Was there a moment when he suddenly felt that love was not only obtained, but fulfilled? What impressed me the most was that she went to the street at night to shoot the subject of killing mice. After the Indian guy was found, he fled in embarrassment. In fact, he didn't love it, but he couldn't love it, but felt that he was humble. From the very beginning, he When she asked her if she wanted to give her money when she took a picture of him, in order to hide her inferiority complex, she also dressed herself up like a big star. From that time on, they were destined not to belong to the same world.
Drugs are rampant, gang fights are common, and the city is heart-wrenching. The boy's brother died as a gangster's scapegoat, but the most fundamental reason was that he had made unexplained drug money from the very beginning, which was destined to lead him on a road of no return. At the beginning of the film, my brother said to the child who was doing his homework under the bed, that he should not forget him when he entered the upper class. Also before he died, the last thing he said to his younger brother was that he was going to make a lot of money. Could have done the dirty work, but said treat him to breakfast tomorrow. And my brother's initial motivation was just to save enough money to buy a big house instead of crowding in a small tent.
In the end, everyone in this story is alone. The heroine appeared as a rich girl from the very beginning. She had Yin Qun's drug-addicting friends, but fell in love with a painter who was incompatible with her, and the painter never regarded her as his love. , As a powerful and powerful rich girl, she likes to hang out with young poor guys, but there is no good love ending. The young Indian guy, this image appeared lonely at the beginning, unconfident, afraid, timid, had no friends, wanted to make a movie but couldn't support it, and finally because the rich lady lost her job, her brother got involved The gangster struggled and died, and the sense of tragedy was aggravated by the fact that he dared to love and did not dare to love. The painter, who seemed withdrawn from the beginning and didn't want to take responsibility, read three letters and finally collapsed. Maybe he saw all the loneliness and romance he had in the dead DV heroine, At the same time, he was completely defeated by this dilapidated marriage similar to his own.
Whether it is the visual sense, the layout of the story, the portrayal of emotions, or to reveal the contradictions and deficiencies of this country at a deep level, "Mumbai Diary" can make us think deeply. Why don't we have such people around us, the lonely rich girl, the lonely painter, the lonely poor boy, the lonely DV tragic heroine? Isn't our city similar to Mumbai?
