The movie "Sultan" was released as early as 2016. In the past year, as the reputation of Indian movies has increased, some Indian movies with good reputation have been introduced in China. For example, "Uncle of the Monkey God of Little Loli" was a movie in 2015. . Interestingly, both of the film's leading actors are Salman Khan .
Mr. Oiyu here does not talk about the reputation of Indian movies in recent years, but only discusses this movie. Many people say that this movie is very similar to "Wrestling Dad" starring Aamir Khan this year, and named it "Wrestling." husband".
Obviously not right, "Wrestle Daddy" was released in India on December 23, 2016, while "Sultan" was released in India on July 6, 2016. "Sultan" was obviously released earlier than "Wrestle Daddy". To say that it is similar is that "Wrestle, Dad" is like "Sultan" .
Well, it doesn't make much sense to say this, let's go straight to the topic.
The film "Sultan" has three versions, the mainland version is 139 minutes, the international version is 147 minutes, and the Indian version is 170 minutes . Sure enough, it is quite difficult for a 3-hour movie to go to theaters.
From the perspective of a normal person (yes, I am an abnormal human being), this is a very inspirational sports movie. After watching it, it may fill your body with energy and you are eager to exercise to vent.
The film can be roughly divided into three parts, the three growth stages of the sultan .
In the first stage , Sultan fell in love with the girl at first sight, learned wrestling for her, and did anything that would make her laugh, thinking that this was love, but was humiliated by the girl, saying that he had no purpose in life and no ambition.
After the sultan fell for a while, he was comforted by his father and regained his strength. In order to prove to the girl that he was not a waste, he took his father-in-law as a teacher. It took 6 weeks to win a wrestling championship and win the return of the beauty.
In the second stage , Sultan worked hard all the way. After winning the Olympic gold medal and the wrestling world championship, he became swell, his career became more and more busy, and he received a lot of endorsement advertisements, but he was farther and farther away from his family. Finally, because of his participation in the World Championships Sai failed to give his son a blood transfusion and lost his newborn son forever.
This fall took longer. Later, a businessman found him and helped him find a new master to train. In order to prove himself again, he learned freestyle wrestling and participated in competitions. He performed well and regained the popularity of the public and the media.
In the third stage , he was injured before the final, his ribs were broken, he was hospitalized, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time. If he participated in the final, it would be tantamount to death, not to mention that the opponent was still a ruthless character.
At this time, his wife came back to him and encouraged him to pursue his original dream bravely with the attitude of an athlete and the persistence of a wrestler. Sultan also called her a master. In the end, the Sultan, of course, won with astonishing perseverance.
If I had to sum up the three stages of Sudan's growth in one sentence, I think it would be like this:
A person has to experience growth three times in his life. The first time is to understand that he is not the center of the world. The second time is to understand that some things cannot be achieved no matter how hard you try. The third time is to know that you are powerless and still strive to prove it. Experience is the most important thing. .
Through these three growths, Sultan really became a man, washed away those arrogance, prejudice, inflated, stubborn, degenerate, traditional, and transformed into a more confident mature, considerate and energetic and attractive man.
In the process of growing up, in addition to the teacher, it is also necessary to obtain the understanding and help of family and friends. In the film, the words that the actor's father said to him, although not a wise saying, are good fuel for the Sultan, and they will not give up on themselves and go astray.
You know, not everyone can stand up after being beaten and humiliated like the hero. Some are more like the unbearable lightness of life in Manchester by the Sea.
So, this is actually a man's growth story .
Of course, the film "Sultan" also has some shortcomings. For example, the transition of several growth stages is excessive and the connection is a bit rough. Although it lasts for 170 minutes, the singing and dancing accounts for a large proportion , and the important details are covered or even skipped.
For example, Sudan's skills or insights or lessons learned in the stage from an inexperienced ordinary person to winning an Olympic champion. Another example is the important reason for the expansion of Sudan after becoming famous, rather than just beating and scolding a reporter.
In contrast, "Wrestling Dad" is more attentive in handling these details, and the emotional processing is also more delicate, which is more likely to resonate with the audience.
Still, Sultan is a sports movie worth wasting 170 minutes on.
