sentence comment: The Indian version of "Forrest Gump", although full of emotions and provocative, is difficult to arouse inner emotions.
I don't have much expectations for this film. After basically seeing it as "Slumdog Millionaire", Indian filmmakers once again turned to Hollywood for directions. "My name is Han" took the "911 incident" as an opportunity to interpret the impact of this incident on the American people's ideas and lives from the perspective of an ordinary Muslim.
The opening of the film is very fascinating. From the protagonist's self-introduction of "My name is Han, I am not a terrorist", people can't help but want to understand what kind of story is behind this chattering man.
The film did not choose rescuers or victims as the subject of the narrative as in the previous similar themes. Instead, it showed the audience in detail that Muslim believers as "imaginary enemies of terrorists" were excluded in the United States under the environment of "turmoil and turmoil". The experience of being hostile, being isolated, being hated, and forbearing in perseverance and humiliation is awe-inspiring.
Whether it is from the plot arrangement or the conceptual design, it can be seen that the film’s ambitions to the Oscars are good, but a good angle is obviously not enough. Too much is not enough and the intention is still not all two realms, the former is lively but bluffing, and the latter is implicitly deterred. Unfortunately, the film has been reduced to the former, using an almost flattering way to outline an Indian version of "Forrest Gump", perfect and impeccable, incomparably frivolous.
Like Forrest Gump, the protagonist Han is also a person with a little communication barrier and self-enclosed (Asperger's disease). He is addicted to his own world and adheres to simple principles in doing things. Because of his wife's angry words, he set foot on it. Find the president, the way to show your identity. Past and present experiences are interspersed through rare journeys. Unlike every plot of "Forrest Gump", which is carefully designed and ingeniously integrated with the characteristics of the times, this movie can be said to be a collection of many strengths, regardless of his love. The story is still a lonely journey, and we can easily find the sensational points of deja vu and the overflow of emotions.
Under the tone of warmth and affection, despite the little suffering, the protagonist Han is still portrayed as a person who uses fearless love and tolerance to oppose racial discrimination, eliminate religious barriers, and insist on self-belief. His simplicity and persistence have become a great advantage. ——He won back love, gained respect, and became a hero. In the face of grand preaching, he even gave me the illusion that Muslims would save Americans.
Far away from the singing and dancing of Indian movies, Bollywood has completely moved closer to Hollywood. What sells to the bones is the mainstream American values, especially the successful conclusion of the president’s reception. It not only rises to the height of national integration, but also a typical "little people achieve greatness." "Dream", all these "designed" inheritance ups and downs, although full of emotions and provocative, but in retrospect, it lacks depth and thickness, just scratching the boots, it is difficult to cause inner feelings , The whole movie will inevitably become a well-regulated and formal pseudo-best film.
