Indian film Andhadhun Tuner, adapted from the genius work "Tuner" that won the Best Short Film Award at the 2011 Leuven International Film Festival and the Best Short Film Award at the 2012 French Caesar Awards. In the original film, a young French man who lost his mind in an important piano competition decided to give up his vision and wore contact lenses to pretend to be a blind piano tuner. A series of stories happened in the homes of different clients. This film is an Indian expansion version of the tuner. It retains the tenth level of the male lead piano and pretends to be blind in order to improve the perception of hearing. The difference is that the original film starts with the new blind tuner after the male lead loses the competition. Identity reconnects to the world and discovers that in this way, one can observe the lives of others more truly. At first, this method was full of poetry of looking at the world from a different angle, and it was full of contradictions and tensions of voyeurism, until he fell into a murder, and the atmosphere of life and death tore through this seemingly romantic harmony. The story ends here. Suddenly, the audience fell into infinite tension and suspense.
The Indian expanded version of the tuner (also translated as an invisible melody) took participation in key competitions as the purpose of the male lead, continued the murder case, and turned his involvement in the murder case into the reason that hindered him from going to the European competition. The main story revolves around the battle between the male lead and the real murderer (female lead). Contrary to the normal state of Indian movies praising truth, goodness and beauty, the male protagonist immediately gave up on justice after discovering that the murderer was the chief of the police. After being persecuted by the protagonist until he was blind, he fell into the hands of the gangster. Anti-killing the heroine, he seems to only want to escape to London to compete and leave all this horror, but all the encounters on the escape, or every reversal and contradiction made in the film, are repeatedly asking a theme: human nature is in front of desire Will it succumb? And the answer without exception is yes! Everyone encountered by the male protagonist seems to be villains. They will disregard the lives of others for money, but the film hopes to give them complex values of humanity, such as family affection, friendship, hesitation, contradictions between villains... this kind of plot It can be said to be an anti-type in Indian films, and after this analysis, there is indeed a complete story.
However, although the director's intentions can be understood, the presentation of the film gives people a strong sense of unreality and superficiality. First of all, it may be due to the tradition of Indian cinema. In the early stage of the film, a lot of pen and ink was spent describing the encounter between the male protagonist and the beloved woman and playing and singing in each other's restaurant, a scene of singing and dancing. However, the emotional paving of men and women is highly separated from the main storyline that is continuously reversing in the follow-up. After the real main line plot appears, I always feel that the front is severely deviated, or the back is severely deviated. Secondly, in order to create a reversal effect, too many characters have been added to the main story. The characterization of each character is extremely poor, which makes it impossible to resonate the audience with any one of the characters. Does the seemingly vicious hostess have any stories behind her? What is the relationship between the badass duo who sees Choi? What difficulties does the black doctor who joined inexplicably have? After reading it, you found out, no! The film never guides you to think... only these specially symbolized people are installed with the sharpest conflicts, such as avenging grievances, doctors who should treat illnesses and save people but kill people, etc., seemingly want to tell a grand and profound story. The theme, in fact, is just like a repeater emphasized: these people only care about their interests and disregard human lives, only common interests have no eternal friends, and no one can stand the test of human nature.
Perhaps what the audience hopes to get from the movie is not just these old platitudes that have been educated. There are not enough emotions and motivations to pave the way for people to have behavioral or emotional identification with a male protagonist who does not have enough characteristics, and emotional resonance. The lack of him can't even make people sympathize with his experience, and he will only feel nervous simply because the plot is artificially reversed. After the nervousness, it is an inexplicable sense of unreality. It's like eating a pot of dark dishes. It has a lot of flavor, but it's not delicious, it's hard to say.
The ending of the French version is exquisite. In the mirror, the male protagonist pretends that he does not know that the old woman behind is raising the air gun to aim at him, and continues to play the piano. The very powerful ending freezes the audience in the imagination of the result and the behavior of the male protagonist. In thinking, the blank space and people can imagine the space infinitely. As far as the story goes to the story after the murder, it can’t be said that it did not present a fierce multi-round contest to the audience. Two years after the end of the story, when the protagonist and the beloved girl met in Europe, the story goes back. Once the encounter was separated, the last shot of accurately kicking the jar on the ground with a blind cane brought the audience to the last reversal, leaving a very good open ending, which made people start to doubt the protagonist's sexuality again. judge. But is it just true or false? Good or evil? This is the simplest level.
Finally, if you insist on telling us what this story tells us, you can only say one sentence, the almighty Lord Shiva advises you to be kind!
If the movie doesn't need to tell us anything, this unreasonable hard plot and strange atmosphere presented are not a bit worse than the go girl who is good at creating tension.
