I haven't seen Indian movies at all, and there are three, if not all, that have the impression so far. One is "Bloodwashing Crocodile Vengeance" that I watched when I was a child, and the content can basically be guessed from the title of the film. The reason I'm still impressed is also because of the bizarre and wonderful plot of this movie. Of course, this has something to do with the lack of watching movies, shallow experience, and ignorance when I was a child. Today, I am afraid that I have long forgotten that anything can happen, and everything can be seen today. The other is the well-known "Slumdog Millionaire", strictly speaking, it is not an Indian movie, it is an American movie. Just like judging a computer, you have to judge from the host. This movie can be said to be an American host, an Indian monitor, and its nature is similar to that of "The Last Emperor". The third is "Unknown Death", which has been on the computer for more than two years, and I haven't watched it yet, which is a pity. In this way, the only three films related to India, the latter two also do not count.
I always thought that our friendly country India (although it has not been friendly for a long time) has the most similar national conditions to us, so the movies should be on the same level. Considering that my country has a nomination in the world regardless of its real name, its fame is slightly better than that of India. , the movie should also be slightly stronger than India. Although the "Slumdog Millionaire" won a golden man, "The Last Emperor" also won it, which was offset one-to-one. Overall strength we are uncle, India is uncle. But after watching "3 Idiots", I feel that I am an idiot.
I didn't want to compare it to a Chinese blockbuster, but to illustrate what I'm trying to say, I have to, I'm going to comment on the difference without any colored eyes.
First of all, on the topic, "3 idiots" is unusual. Compared with the heroes of "Hero", the "Wuji" of "Wuji", and the "Chibi" of "Chibi", idiot is actually very idiot. There is no hero's main theme, Wuji's sense of depth, and Chibi's sense of history, so in terms of the appeal of the title, we won. However, the title of the film is like a pseudonym of a person, you can call it anything. The famous pseudonym is not because the name is good, but in terms of the name's good-looking and sounding, Lu Xun is indeed not as good as Murong Feixue, Linghu Piaoxue, Dugu Qiuxue... But --You know. Therefore, the value of the title depends on the movie itself. If Avatar was originally called Avatar, Avatar would not be able to find a donkey.
Moreover, after watching "3 idiots", you will find that the three idiots are not stupid at all, they have more aura than anyone else. Lancher, in particular, is a mysterious man. So you will have an epiphany, idiot - wise and foolish.
The name doesn't matter, let's ignore the name and look at the movie itself.
Taking into account the physiological requirements of the audience, the length of the general film will not exceed two hours. Although blockbusters are excluded, they are not willing to take this risk, so we saw "On the Chibi" and "Under the Chibi". It is said that when "Once Upon a Time in America" was shown, because the film was too long, the intermission was also increased. The reason is to fear the audience's aesthetic fatigue and loss of interest in watching movies. It is said that Indian movies are still the same. "3 idiots" is 170 minutes long and I only discovered it after watching the movie. However, due to the constant laughter and constant resonance, when watching the movie, I always hoped that it would not end and not end until the story was finished, and I felt that it could end, otherwise it would continue. It's over at the end. Looking at the watch, I realize that more than two hours have passed.
A good movie is not afraid of length.
This is the feeling outside the movie. As for the movie itself, I don't seem to have said anything yet.
If you divide the movie fans into categories, I think "3 idiots" is more popular among young movie fans, angry youths, educators, social issue experts, idealists, Indian song and dance lovers, promising youth, perfectionists (in no particular order) etc. favor. This list can be very long, which means that all kinds of people can find what they need from this movie, and it is suitable for all kinds of people to watch. It tells educators what is a suitable educational philosophy, what is the right way to learn to students who are boundless in learning, what is true love to those who pursue love, and how to relieve stress to those who are down and out Go into battle lightly, and tell those who claim to be brothers and sisters what is the real righteousness of brotherhood...
The whole thing is to tell everyone who lives in this society what is the real way of living.
Heard that this is the only movie to beat Avatar at the domestic box office, I believe. Of course, "Avatar" is also a good film in the department. Although the two films are huge at the box office, they each have their own advantages, and some of them compete.
Let me talk about the shortcomings of "3 idiots" in my eyes.
The story design of "3 idiots" is too good, but the success is also small and the failure is also small. The too rich experience makes people feel unreal, and the singing and dancing performances added in it also make me feel this way, which will be discussed later. In the movie, for example, the scene of delivering a baby with a vacuum cleaner, professional mothers are exclaimed. Movies are not real, but the real wins. But the truth is often bland, and this complementary contradiction exists in all films that respect reality and inspire people. Magic sci-fi movies are fake, but they also try to make people believe that they are real. The idiom "lifelike" says it all.
I've never been accustomed to the cabaret in Indian movies, and felt that it would break the continuity of the story and reduce the authenticity of the story. Of course I know that film is art, a complex combination of image and sound, but film also has the authenticity of film, you know it is not reality, but you will watch it with a real state of mind, you are willing to believe what it says and does , are all real, so we will be moved, angry, happy, and spend time and money to watch it. However, suddenly adding lively singing and dancing to the originally smooth plot will inevitably cause discomfort, especially in the middle of the movie, not just the end. But that's exactly the style of Indian movies, radish and cabbage, each with their own love. Today, when movies are becoming more and more Hollywood, it is also a clever move for India to reflect the Indian elements of movies. The Chinese are not Indians, and the inability to accept the elements of singing and dancing is just a matter of acceptance, not the weaknesses and flaws of the film itself.
Apart from these two shortcomings that are not considered shortcomings, "3 idiots" is perfect.
