For the Internet cafe owner Gao Ruifu, Bollywood superstar Arian Khanna is not only his idol, but also his belief, a higher existence than reality. Only by imitating Aryan can Gao Ruifu feel the value of his life. Love is deep, hatred is deep, and the indifference of idols makes Gao Ruifu turn from fan to black, and makes a series of crazy actions. Because of the indifference of idols, he felt that the belief that he depended on for survival had collapsed, his life had lost its meaning, and he had gone crazy with no love.
So in the end, when Aryan persuaded Gao Ruifu to return to reason, Gao Ruifu resolutely chose to leave this world.
His series of crazy actions have pushed him to the abyss of doom, making him questioned and cast aside by everyone.
In the course of a series of actions to retaliate against idols, he witnessed the unbearable side of idols who used to be the "god".
In the process of turning from fans to black, his beliefs were wiped out, his life lost hope, and he also lost his life value after idol worship collapsed.
The down-to-earth translated name of "brain remnant fans" is really appropriate. It allows us to watch the film, to rationally examine the relationship between fans and stars, the relationship between ideals and reality, and to reflect on those blind beliefs.
Griff's tragedy lies in the loss of self-awareness. He has always lived in the shadow of others, and his way of showing his personal value is to imitate his idol. He plastered idol posters all over the room and knew every detail of Arian's life. He was so addicted to his belief in Arian that he was disconnected from real life to the point of being unable to extricate himself, thereby losing himself. So much so that when his faith collapsed, he faced a strong emptiness and confusion, just as believers were told that "God is dead". This intense spiritual crisis made him embark on the road of no return as a "brain-wrapped fan".
May people not be deceived by illusions and be pious and rational people.
Is Gaurif's tragedy related to Arrian? Of course there are. In the film, Arian, wearing sunglasses and being escorted by his side, looks like a heartthrob aloof. Fans waved at him from a distance. And crazy fans like Gao Ruifu are not satisfied with these, what he wants is to get close to idols and hug him closely.
The turning point in the film is when Ariane says to Griffin "I won't give you five seconds". This sentence broke Gao Ruifu's heart, and it was the fuse that caused him to turn black. So much so that in the end, Gao Ruifu thought that Ariane owed him an apology.
The purpose of Gao Ruifu's request for an apology reflects to a certain extent that he wants to prove that he and Arian are equal, and that he is not satisfied with the star attitude of idols.
But as far as reason is concerned, Arian's approach is not wrong. Especially when Gao Ruifu's behavior caused damage to his reputation, he has the right to defend himself.
But Gao Ruifu's story also caused Arian to reflect. It is worth noting that at the beginning of the film, Arian was wearing a pair of sunglasses when he waved at the crowd. At the end of the film, Arian is standing in the same place, but with his sunglasses off, his confident and bright smile is missing, and his expression is more solemn. After the test, he has taken off the glitzy shell of the "heartbeat".
There, Arian waved to the fans as usual.
He didn't wear sunglasses, those eyes would see better. In the crowd, he seemed to see the shadow of Gao Ruifu.
Yes, in the bustling crowd in front of them, the facial expressions of men and women are as crazy as Gao Ruifu used to be.
Who can guarantee that among them, no one will be the next Gaurif?
