At the beginning of the film, a set of newspaper clippings is used to explain Ram's glory days. With a coughing sound of 20 years later, the camera silently records Ram's words and deeds from behind. Going home, finding out that the house was locked due to arrears of rent, and looking for the landlord to be absent... Until he crawled into the back of the car like a dog, we didn't see his face, the old man Ram. Because the film does not exaggerate or exaggerate, we found that these wrestlers are not as diverse as we imagined, they are very professional, polite and sympathetic to each other. It's like they will exchange strategies before the game and encourage each other after the game, like Ram going to the supermarket to find a job, the boss said condescendingly, "Why, the price of tights has gone up", Ram even smiled a little embarrassedly and replied "It's a bit funny"; Like Ram going to a nightclub to find a stripper, like Ram buying cough medicine, and Ram's scarred back before he fell ill, the camera recorded it silently until he tinnitus, vomited, fell to the ground, and it wasn't too sad or anything. How helpless, just straightforward.
At the same time, the film objectively explains the relationship between the three main characters Ram, the stripper, and Ram's daughter in a reasonable and reasonable manner. For example, the stripper Kahidi, she is a very principled person. When Ram talked to her, she would say I couldn't leave my guests; when Ram told her he had a heart attack and wanted to talk to her, she just stayed with him for a few minutes and hurried back; when Ram said he had a heart attack Not wanting to be alone, she deftly turned her attention to his daughter instead of taking care of him with the compassion of a simple woman; when Ram offered her love at the pub, she simply refused. All this is just because she is a mother, and years of experience and experience have taught her how to do things in order to protect her and her son's life. Everyone's way of life is not easy to change, and sometimes even violations are not allowed. When the counter-intuitive self-preservation made Kasidi feel uncomfortable, she went to Ram to apologize, telling him that he was not just a guest, but Ram was so irritated that he made up his mind and couldn't even wait for Kasiti. After I finished speaking, I drove away, leaving only the words welcome to my game and so on. The emotional fluctuations of men and women are so out of sync. There is also the relationship between Ram and his daughter. The contradictions did not accumulate overnight, and how could they easily release their past suspicions and have a complete reunion. When Ram's daughter cried out "I won't cry for you anymore", God knows what kind of disappointment she's been through since she was a child. There are some places that are relatively abrupt, that is, Ram came to see his daughter for the second time, holding a gift, and she eased a little faster. The dance of the father and daughter in the dilapidated factory building and Ram's tears were also pleasing to some extent, but the choreographer could only arrange it in this way, and only after a 180-degree turn could Ram resolutely embark on the road of no return.
There is a scene in the description of Ram that also left a deep impression on me. Ram wrapped his long hair and stepped down the long stairs, just like walking in the backstage passage leading to the arena. The cheers before the game changed from weak to strong. Accompanying him, the cheers of the people in front of the curtains were clearly discernible "Ram! Ram!..." Ram paused for a while, as if adjusting before the appearance, and then lifted the curtains, and the cheers stopped abruptly. This time, the hero is not going to the stadium, but the meat counter of the supermarket. I know Ram can't be kept here, it's the hero who will leave sooner or later, even if it's a late hero.
Ram finally realizes that the wrestling ring is where he belongs, and he says he doesn't care about money as long as he wrestles. What kind of woman, family, supermarket work, all TM get out of here. I want to come back, even if I die on the field, there is nothing left to miss. It's better to be a person with a beginning and an end than to live so incompletely. He can't handle a lot of things off the field and is always overwhelmed by life, but he is him on the field. The strong in a certain way are sub-living, but in their realm they are supreme. Kahidi was determined to listen to her heart, she put down her principles, her job, and drove to the arena to try to stop Ram's suicidal behavior, but how could such a big man Ram leave the audience behind, when he was about to re-emerge. before gaining dignity. At the end, Ram stood tremblingly on the rope rail of the arena to prepare for a "sledgehammer crush". At this time, he looked in the direction of Kasiti. Kasiti couldn't bear to see that he had left. Ram had no thoughts and desperate. , jumped hard, like the thrown sword in "Braveheart", firmly imprinted in my mind.
