In fact, I went to see the latest Indian movie "Sultan" today, and the attendance rate was good, more than 70%. Before writing this article, a few points should be noted:
1. The actor of the male protagonist Sultan is Salman Khan, who is also known as the Three Khans of India along with Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.
2. Anushka Sharma, who plays the heroine Alpha, has starred in the movie "My God" with Aamir Khan.
3. This film is the same theme as Aamir Khan's film "Wrestle, Dad", which tells about wrestling and fighting sports, and at the same time reflects the spiritual core of resisting reality, pursuing breakthroughs and perseverance. In fact, this film was released in India in July 2016, which is earlier than "Wrestle, Dad" (release time: December 2016).
4. There are similar films in China. "Fighting" directed by Lin Chaoxian, starring Zhang Jiahui and Eddie Peng, is mainly based on the bloody painting style, showing the unyielding human spirit. Earlier, there was also director To Qifeng, Gu Tianle, Guo Fucheng and Ying Caier starring "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", with a literary style, reflecting the sportsmanship and human nature of resisting fate and persistent pursuit.
5. At the time of writing this article, my second-hand girlfriend has been in the hospital for three days. She is at home and I am in Shenzhen.
Therefore, I wrote this article to her, because I can't be by her side, I can't talk to her, I can't comfort her timid, I can't share her fear and pain, at least I can use words to convey unyielding to her. Spirit.
Daughter-in-law, everything will be fine.
In essence, "Sultan" and "Wrestling, Dad" are very similar. They are both stars with excellent wrestling skills (yes, this is called a star). For various reasons, the story is ultimately related to the stage. It is also a reflection of social reality, calling on the people to see clearly the backward thinking in the country. (But I didn't watch "Wrestle, Dad" with my second wife, and so did "Sultan")
The difference is that "Wrestle, Dad" is more reflected in the father-daughter family. As a father, he guides his daughter to learn to know the world and herself on the road of wrestling. In "Sultan", the hero goes into battle in person, and in the process of falling in love with the heroine, he gradually gets to know himself and overcomes himself.
Both films use the sportsmanship of wrestling to tell the audience (especially the Indian audience), "Athlete, just never give up."
This is what I want to say to her.
Although the plot of "Sultan" brought the protagonist's halo to the extreme, the male protagonist, Sudan, from a peasant strong man without any wrestling experience, just by virtue of his strong body and explosive power, after a short training, he defeated the county in charge of the competition. State League wrestlers. After professional training, he participated in the Asian Games, the Olympic Games, and the World Championships step by step, and all won the championship honor.
Sultan's initial motivation came from his pursuit of love (the wrestling coach's daughter Alpha). After encountering Alpha's humiliation, he began to work hard, consciously practice physical fitness, learn wrestling knowledge, and become a professional wrestler in a short time. .
When Sudan finally won the World Championships, when he finally left this world because his child was born but could not get panda blood, he began to find his purpose in life.
In order to pursue love, he used to participate in wrestling as a spiritual sustenance. When he had love and his family was about to be consummated, the sudden change made him feel that he was only looking forward to his wrestling career and honor, and gradually left his family behind. Especially the departure of the child has become an insurmountable gap between him and his wife.
He and his wife had been separated for many years and avoided communication with each other. In fact, it was just that neither of them could accept who they are now.
If the owner of the club, Akash, who has failed in investment, has not come to his door, the stalemate between Sultan and Alfa may have been forever. Everyone passed by in the temple as agreed, but they were strangers. Sultan is still respected by the locals and still shows his prowess as a professional wrestler.
But Sudan's life is meaningless. He left the land where he once fought, the wrestling sand. As a well-known wrestler who won glory for his country at the Olympic Games and World Championships, he had no choice but to apply for state funding to build a blood bank.
Akash's fate as a failed businessman is similar to that of the Sultan. He always thought that the wrestling and fighting sports in the club were only for white people (foreigners), and only in this way would it be interesting. His thinking, like most of the people in the country who are foreigners and foreigners, only looks up to the "giants" in Europe and America, but refuses to face up to his own abilities. Over time, his spirit will decay.
After Akash's guidance, India's free fighting sport should have its own characteristics, its own spirit, and its own players. So Akash found Sultan. After some exchanges, Sultan decided to walk away from the pain of the past, stand on the stage again, regain his dignity, and win back his wife and himself.
The next story is logical, a bit like "Fighting". Under the introduction of Akash, Sultan found a free boxing coach who did not dare to face the past. Under his devil training, in just 6 weeks, Sultan became a A semi-professional kickboxer.
However, Sultan has an advantage over those younger fighters, he has a wealth of wrestling experience, and it is also his wrestling stunt in the final multiple stage duels that eventually won the match.
In the third quarter of the game, Sudan went from the preliminary round to the final, which was the blessing of a miracle. This is also the core spirit of the film - perseverance and never give up. Just as the coach taught the sultan to hold his breath first when he was facing a throat lock, if he couldn't hold it, he could pat the opponent's arm to show his defeat.
But the Sultan would rather be stunned than surrender. It was also from here that the image of my second-hand daughter-in-law kept echoing in my mind. In fact, she was prettier and cuter than Alpha. She would be silly, and more often she would have a lot of weird ideas. She seems to have The advantages of female protagonists in all good romance dramas.
But she was timid. When she knew that she was sick, she asked me many times during the few days in the hospital if she would die and if it was all right.
I'll tell her it's all right. I firmly believe that it will be all right, because I haven't married her yet, and I haven't let her, a lovely girl full of heroine's advantages, have a perfect ending.
The last time I took her home, I couldn't help crying. It was ugly. She probably didn't know why I was crying. Because at that moment, I realized that I couldn't bear to be alone, especially when I was not taking care of her.
In fact, she and I are also a bit like the state of Sudan and Alpha in "Sultan", and we have had a quarrel, but in fact she is a heartless person, and she forgot about it not long after she turned her head.
Then I also hope that she will be like the ending in "Sultan". Even if Sudan fought to the end and was admitted to the hospital with a broken rib, Alpha finally chose to let go of his obsession and the two persisted together.
The sultan finally got on stage, and he triumphed over himself.
Daughter-in-law, I believe you will be fine too, and I believe that foolish second-hand will come back to me too.
In addition, daughter-in-law, do you know that it has been raining for a lot of days in Shenzhen, and today it is finally clear. The long-lost sun reminds me of your silly smile, which is very warm.
