This movie is very similar to Kyoto Ballman

1. All are sports games, one is football and the other is cricket;
2. Both are oppressed and colonized nations, China and India;
3. Both have a handsome muscular guy who started to resist, Zhang Fengyi and Amir Han;
4 、They are all a group of players with their own unique skills, they are not able to learn and make rapid progress at the beginning;
5. There is a foreign woman from the opposing camp who falls in love with the captain and supports the team, and in the end they have an ambiguous crush. No results;
6. Of course, in the end, the oppressed and bullied side finally wins.

Kyoto Ballman was released in 1987, but India was released in 2001, can we proudly say that China has also been copied abroad?

If this feature film removes the resistance to colonial oppression and national characteristics, it does not have much feature in film art. More than 3 hours is quite prolonged, and the plot is not enough to support such a long content. That is, when playing cricket, there are a lot of things that can be ignored. The past shots also appeared repeatedly and took up a lot of time. You must know that this is not a broadcast of a game but a movie.

Amir Han's performances in this film are not good either. He always carries a high-profile shelf and is full of heroic temperament, not as witty and agile as others such as the three fools.

Finally, there is a translation called the Battle of Honor. This translation has been thoroughly defeated. It is estimated that I did not watch the plot. It is obviously a battle for the benefit of betting on taxes for three years.

    The big reason why India was completely colonized by the British is the racial system, because they are ranked high and low, and when they meet the British, they are directly ranked first, which is also a kind of thinking inertia. Get used to being slaves, get used to being trained.

    Nationalism, pectoral muscles, verbosity, Indian singing and dancing, acupuncture and contempt, what are the characteristics of Aamir Khan's films. . Long people can't stand it, and they especially like to show off their tendons.
