Good Luck Barber: When Good Luck Comes, Can We Turn Away

This Indian film is not an exaggeration to say that it is a comedy. The laughs of the whole film run through almost from beginning to end, and there is no chance for people to breathe. However, there are tears in the laughter and seriousness in the comedy. Although it makes people laugh at times, they also stop and think about the meaning of comedy from time to time. The protagonist of the film, Biru, is a poor hairdresser. There is not even a decent chair in the dilapidated shop. His business is getting worse and worse, but he has to pay the tuition of two children. But no one knew that the popular movie star Searle was Biru's good friend. It was not until Searle came to the village where Biru was to make a movie that the story turned 90 degrees and completely changed its appearance.
Compared with Biru's low-key and dullness, Searle's singing and dancing appearance and unprecedented popularity made the movie really lively. Wherever Searle appeared, people were enthusiastically sought after and festive welcome ceremony. At this time, Bilu seems to be more lonely, but it is commendable that, knowing that he has such a popular celebrity friend, he still lives his life alone, without mentioning a word to people, not even a word of memory . I was shocked by Biru's simplicity and dullness. While the whole village was chasing after Pur like a madman, Biru lived his own life as usual. This sharp contrast and the contrast between light and dark make me feel the greatness of Biru's personality. He has always just played the role of an ordinary person, and is indifferent to the so-called money and opportunities. He has always played the role of an ordinary hairdresser. Impressive.
There may also be differences in cultural backgrounds. In China, people do not have much identification with hairdressers, while in India, people are very proud and happy with their profession. No matter what they do, people always I am very comfortable and happy to do my job, not only because of my beliefs, but also because of my identity and the inheritance and development of traditions. While China is constantly being westernized, India has always adhered to its own cultural traditions. Of course, there are also some groundless singing and dancing scenes in the movie. The entertainment eye also really amused me. Obviously, the content of the song and dance has little to do with the film, but it seems that the performance of a large section of the film has become a custom and a habit. I am a foreigner watching it for a while, but I just feel it is lively and noisy, and I forget it after watching it.
Until the end of the film, we don't know whether Biru's story about him and Searle is true or not. It wasn't until Searle gave a speech at the elementary school at the end that the mystery of the story was solved. However, I don't think the answer is important. What matters is Biru's persistence, keeping his mouth shut and assuming silently, that makes the final sublimation so important and touching. The film does make a lot of foreshadowing for the end, but the real emotion, we can glimpse in the film.
