The directors in this world who are most not afraid of repetition and playing routines may only be Indian directors.
Bollywood can play the old love stalk of a poor boy who fell in love with "Bai Fumei" for centuries. The plot is 9981, and the ending is that true love conquers everything. Plus one word does not match, singing and dancing, adjusting the rhythm by wrestling fight...
Mixed together like a gorgeous Indian set meal, chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas, everything, but everything is curry!
handsome man selling point
Recently, Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 6" and Salman Khan's "Sultan" were released in theaters at the same time.
I chose to watch the latter first, because... the male protagonist's figure is more predictable!
Salman Khan is known as "one of the three kings of Bollywood" (the other two are Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan), and it is said that he is one of the very few in India " who has not yet appeared on the big screen, can One of the superstars who made the audience scream like crazy ".
Anyone who has watched "Little Lolita's Uncle Monkey God" knows that people can rely on their looks to eat, but they have countless fans based on their acting skills.
In India, he has participated in more than 80 films in total, of which nine of them were the highest-grossing films of the year, and this record has not been broken.
So, just watching Salman Khan's acting (shen) skills (cai) on the big screen is already worth the ticket price for nympho girls.
The handsome men and beautiful women with outstanding looks have always been one of the selling points of Bollywood love movies.
For Indians, movies are a tool for making dreams. No matter how poor or ugly you are in real life, uncle, when I go to the cinema, I just want to see flowers inserted in cow dung!
Such audiences, probably peasants who account for more than 70% of the total population, like simple and rude gorgeous plots.
It is not difficult to imagine that a love inspirational film such as "Sultan", after its release on Hari Raya in India in 2016, became the domestic box office champion and the Indian film overseas box office champion.
Straight men routine
Compared with "Wrestling!" which was released in China last year Dad" and "Sultan" are also "wrestling" movies, but the two have different focuses.
If you say "Wrestling! "Dad" is the voice of the rise of Indian women, and "Sultan" is just the opposite. It is simply chicken soup for the soul of straight men with cancer.
To avoid spoilers, let's make an analogy.
The useless "waste wood" fell in love with a wrestler Bai Fumei, Bai Fumei refused on the grounds that "you are not worthy of me".
Injured "waste wood" inspired to become the most powerful wrestler in India and married Dingbai Fumei.
After going through hardships, the waste wood finally turned over from salted fish, became the Olympic champion and won Bai Fumei, and then embarked on the peak of life.
But the scale was not well grasped, the career and family were out of balance, and Bai Fumei left him...
Is this routine very "straight man cancer"?
In real life, Bai Fumei doesn't care how hard the "waste wood" tries to change, she just wants to marry the gentleman and rich "Mr Darcy" in "Pride and Prejudice".
And the salted fish who turned over will also take "yesterday you ignored me, but today I can't let you climb high" as a motto, shielding those gold-worshiping girls who have no vision.
Good men and women in India may rely on faith to believe in true love. Our diet men and women have long been unable to drink chicken soup like "true love conquers all".
reflect reality
Although the chicken soup is not "poisonous" enough, it is worth affirming that "Sultan" is also a movie that reflects reality.
" Wrestling is not just a sport, it's an inner contest ."
For the male protagonist Sultan, "wrestling" is his way of conquering himself again and again.
"Wrestling" allowed him to change the image of a waste, marry the person he loves, and become a national hero...
But games have winners and losers, life doesn't.
One can strive to "conquer the ego," but cannot control the intricacies of things outside the confines of the ego.
For example, how to balance family and career may be a problem that everyone will encounter in middle age.
As for the answer, everyone's balance point is different, and the results are not the same.
