for freedom

The well-established plot design is like a national hero of India, leading the people to pursue freedom. Although it is such an old-fashioned plot, it still has new ideas, that is, Frankie, who seems to be an "indian traitor" in the play, deceived the real bandit, the officials of the British colonists, and the anti-resistance. The organization, but also deceived good friends, such a slick looking for a living space in a troubled world, runs through the entire film. The reversal of the plot is not too unexpected. Aamir Khan's character is naturally not the so-called "bad guy", so the expectations and worries in my heart were finally put down.

However, I have been thinking about why this film has such a poor rating and reputation. In fact, it should not be the case. Although the plot is indeed slightly weaker than the "Tuner" I just watched the day before, but in terms of scenes and settings, In terms of the main melody, it is undoubtedly much higher than that of "The Tuner". Although there may be differences, it should not be that big. Then why is the reputation still so low? I think one of the reasons may be the character of Aamir Khan. He is both good and evil, and he is free by nature. He has saved good people and bad people. He is a hero of the nation. Zeng himself spurned it, and although a line of friends did not explain much, it also revealed some clues. But I think this is precisely what is commendable about this film. No one is born to be a hero, destined to save a nation. People can change, and people also have their own temperament, so for the ending of the film, Aamir Khan sails far. I still approve.

## Effects

What makes me want to complain the most is the sporadic special effects clips. Fortunately, there are not many special effects clips in the nearly three-hour movie. The canyon naval battle in the middle, and the final "Azad" suicide attack, these special effects are really bad. .

## Fuhua Road

There is no careful comparison, but there are many scenes that remind me of "Pirates of the Caribbean", I don't know the costumes in India at that time, and I don't know the costumes of Pirates of the Caribbean at that time, but there is always a sense of deja vu.

However, what is commendable is the theme of the film. The subtitle version I watched repeated countless times that a single spark can start a prairie fire. Aamir Khan also repeated "for freedom" countless times in the film. It is this theme that will make me add to him. Aamir Khan's deeds in real life have also been widely sung, and several previous works have also focused on reality, whether it is education, equal rights between men and women, or even corrupt government power. It seems to be the main theme of the national hero blockbuster in ancient costume. The film does not publicize how bad the times are and how heroic the hero is. Instead, it finds a new way to let one person be inspired by a group of people, and then inspire another group of people, this kind of film is enough . And that's what we're missing.
