In fact, we don’t know more about India than the West knows about China.
The people of India are just naive
My husband started to reside in India in August last year, so in my circle of friends, I often see the dynamics of the Indian people. At the beginning of November last year, I also stayed in Delhi, India for a week, admiringly went to an international celebrity attraction like the Taj Mahal, but what made me wonder is the people here. Their average material conditions are worse than that of China. This is nothing. Doubtful. However, under the blessing of faith and multiculturalism, the faces of the people are filled with self-confidence that has not been oppressed.
And when it comes to treating Gentile women, they are very generous and enthusiastic. This is very different from the highly capitalist Western world, where there is a sense of civilization and no warmth. Their enthusiasm is sometimes slightly out of bounds, such as
In tourist attractions, there will often be a group of young men enthusiastically walking in front of you and asking you to take a photo of him, not with his camera, but with your camera.
At the ticket office of the National Expo in India, the younger brother naturally reached out and wanted to leave my iPhone6+ mobile phone. I thought it was a museum rule. I didn’t know that he held it in his hand and looked at it. Then he gave it to me, saying that he thought it was the latest oppo.
Innocent and unrestrained.
The audience of Indian film services is such a group of people.
Only by understanding the people of India can we understand the foundation of why this epic masterpiece can be a big success. All exaggeration and illogicalness are not a big deal in the eyes of the Indian people with innocent brain circuits.
After the first film of the film was released, it quickly swept India and became the box office champion at the time with a local box office record of $65 million.
The life of King Baahubali
Come back to the story of the movie prototype-Baahubali King.
There is no such king in the real history of India. His deeds are just a few words in Indian folk tales, similar to our Erlang God, Seven Fairies and the like.
In folktales, Baahubali relied on his bravery and competed with his brother Bharat for the throne. After winning the game, he won the throne. But after the throne was in hand, he suddenly felt that it was difficult to calm his heart. He gave up the kingship, practiced penance, and eventually became the "Siddha" (Siddha) of Jainism.
The film added a lot of court battles and love scenes, and cleverly used the plot of the Indian epic "Mahabharata", telling the story of a baby prince rescued from the palace and killed the usurpering uncle as an adult, and rescued the revenge story of his biological mother. .
And because of Baahubali's mythological attributes, he was directly scheduled as the incarnation of Lord Shiva in the movie and became the root of his buggy existence. Shiva is one of the three main gods of Hinduism, both creation and destruction. In Hinduism, the Ganges water that nourishes Indian civilization is formed by the spraying of Shiva's linga. Linga is Shiva’s Ding Ding ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
In the film, King Baahubali, because he is the incarnation of Shiva, is infinitely powerful and his combat value is exploding. One person is not afraid of fighting a group army. At the same time, he loves his people and his wife, and he is not stingy when he spreads dog food.
In the first part, the male protagonist also likes to hold the Linga representing Shiva in front of the waterfall.
The first movie has been in theaters in China for 16 years, and now it should be directly available on the Internet:
In the second part, there are also many metaphors of Baahubali Linga. Especially in the final battle, the small universe burst because of his own blood dripping on the Linga. #Unfortunately, there is no screenshot.
Epic and brain hole fly together
Baahubali is said to be India’s largest investment film, with a total investment of 3.5 billion rupees (330 million yuan). Among domestic films, the one that reaches this scale is Star Master’s "Mermaid", with a cost of 1 billion yuan. "The Great Wall" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" are still far behind.
However, the 330 million renminbi made in India is quite good conscientiously! The characteristics of the two main cities are obvious. The main city of the country where Baahubali is located is dark in color and complex and grand.
The main city of the country where the princess is located is mainly white, echoing the dark colors, which reminds people of the "Taj Mahal".
The coronation battle is not inferior to Hollywood’s "Troy" and so on.
The close-ups of the war are both real and beautiful, and they do not violate the peace at all, do not violate the peace, and do not violate the peace. Say the important thing three times. #I don't know why, domestic directors make war blockbusters, and they are always in a bad position between vague martial arts and real swords and guns.
The neat composition in the play makes people suspect that the director is a Virgo. The most classic scene is (oh, I’m not spoiled). Look, the diagonal lines on the ground, the silhouette of the characters before the flames.
Although the picture is neat and rigorous, but after 2 hours, it is not boring at all. I even think that the director's brain is too big. Isn't he really making Zhou Xingchi's film?
At the beginning of the film, Baahubali, who has become the crown prince, went to tease her younger sister. The trick to tease the younger sister was to pretend to be an incompetent coward, help the princess' weak cousin, shoot wild boars and split stakes. This dislocation itself is full of joy.
The Indian film in the middle of the film has a song and dance segment, which is even more magical. The male and female protagonist sits on a boat shaped like a sky (mu) and a goose (ji), posing as the Titanic windward, singing and dancing, flying all the time. Go to the cloud.
In the climax part of the film, the prince and uncle face each other, so tight and dirty, the director's stalk is also elusive
The prince could not enter the palace gate, the nao machine (dong) and one (da) moved (kai), and he bounced himself and the soldiers into the palace with a coconut tree
. . . .
right
. . .
They were bombed in. In order to be more scientific, the director also asked them to play 6 people at a time, using shields to protect their bodies. . #真太玄幻, you should go see it yourself.
It's like this?
Uncle used something similar to a lawn mower, Qiyu Xuanang’s harvester, director, have you played too much in Dynasty Warriors? ? ?
Although the characters are performing epic poems, they don’t hold them. They act stupid when they should act stupid.
What is amazing is the princess in the film (that is, the mother of the prince of revenge), who was a beautiful and martial girl in the beginning:
Later, she was a determined wife,
In the end, she wanted to watch her son kill the great mother of the bad uncle. Every level was different and stood still. In the play, the performances of the queen mother and the prince are also not bad. You can see the arc of the characters and the imprint of the story on them.
Most importantly, the director does not want to preach. . .
Chinese movies have too much literary sentiment, and I hope that the writing will convey the truth. The more blockbuster movies, the more so. (No name is called) The director can’t wait to use the big loudspeaker to tell you to "stop the war with force" and "you will be punished if you can't promise." .
They forget that the movie itself is a story. Stories can be very shallow, but who says that shallow stories are not good stories?
The characters are full, the plot is reasonable, and humorous. What if you have a bigger brain? What's more, this movie seems to have reached the point where everyone is happy to talk about it. Some scenes support it while watching it and brushing the barrage!
When I watched the show, the whole audience was happy with the barrage. After the film was completed, everyone applauded happily.
This is really, very, difficult.
