We are important to ourselves

Saddam invaded Kuwait, and the Indian government suddenly "disappeared". The day before it was still singing and dancing, and the next day it was plunged into the disaster of war. The government is not responsible to his people. It's okay. We are responsible to ourselves, because only we are important to ourselves.

As a war documentary film, it still shows the characteristics of Indian film, singing and dancing. There are three songs and dances in the whole film, which are interspersed in the whole storyline without appearing abrupt. The first song and dance appears at the beginning of the film. The male protagonist is alone in the joy and reflects the wealth of his life. The second song and dance appeared in the middle part of the film. When everyone thought they could leave by boat, the song rang. Everyone rejoiced and twisted their bodies. They were finally released from the suffering of life. , However, the situation reversed afterwards, and the silence of the whole atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with this. The mood of hope and disillusionment can only suffer in speechlessness. The third song and dance sounded when they finally evacuated. Excitement, excitement, and gratitude, just use songs to express.

From the lens point of view, this film is more realistic. Except for the shaky lens when the male protagonist returns home to look for his family eagerly, almost all the film uses a moving lens without other special effects. The dialogue between the two is plainly narrated, but under the influence of BGM, it exaggerates a tense atmosphere. The plot is relaxed and not procrastinated, and the more you watch it, the more attractive it becomes.

The film revolves around the male protagonist’s behavior, portrays a big figure in a turbulent situation, and also praises the importance of responsibility. From it, it also made me realize that people must live well, be responsible for themselves, and we are important to ourselves. , We can save ourselves by ourselves.

Well, the next thing is my biggest feeling after watching the movie-if there is such a man, even if I have a shabby beard!

As soon as the male protagonist opened the scene, he didn't like it; he was still a profitable businessman, and he didn't like it. However, he can sing, which is pretty good; he can also blow the pipe, which is great; he can dance, and his body twists and jumps to look good! Yes, isn't such a character set the hero in romance novels?

However, because of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, the surrounding environment has undergone earth-shaking changes. Government personnel have left and the people here have been left behind. The male protagonist planned to spend money to escape from Kuwait, but the sense of responsibility was overwhelmed in the eyes of people's expectations, and a strong nationalist spirit was instantly aroused. Even if he is not understood by his wife, she resolutely wants to help the Indians evacuate here. Times make a hero, he was a big man at that time.

In addition, there are many bright spots in the hero. He loves his wife and children. After the driver was killed, he drove home and looked at the ruins on the road. He couldn't help crying. He went home and looked for his wife and children frantically. The nose is running straight. . . Sure enough, he is a sentimental person. The male protagonist is also an excellent negotiator, who should be soft when he is soft, and tough when he is hard, and not chaotic in the face of danger, pretending to be calm, knowing the overall situation, and acting so decisively and rationally. The male protagonist is a big man who sacrifices himself for others. He would rather risk his life to take away a pair of Kuwaiti mother and daughter. When he held the child and the woman to his car, the image instantly Become tall. The male protagonist is still a very powerful person, so what if the opponent has a pistol, and still fights, if his wife is not caught, I think he will be able to defeat the few people holding the pistol.

In a word, this is a perfect male protagonist who came out of the novel, and it is even more rare to be able to do this in wars.

The film’s storytelling is flat but compact, and the soundtrack is a good rendering of the emotional atmosphere of the characters. Although it is not a great film, it is rare that the male protagonist can successfully attract the audience and generate admiration, which is very good. .

    A very moving movie. Only when the country is strong can the people feel safe

    This Indian-inspired English accent brings people into contact with a different subject, a history that has never been taught before, a century of war in the Middle East, and why dictators can't learn from it, it's all because of profit. Indian movies can always be moved from the details, making people instantly burst into tears, but as a semi-documentary, the acting skills of the actors are still not flattering.
