We all forget to ask the world a question

The creators of "Alien Drunken PK Earth God" and 2009's "Three Silly Trouble in Bollywood" are the same team, so the film also adheres to their usual "laugh with tears, think after laughing" style. The main actor is Aamir Khan, who combines the advantages of three different types of male gods, Bean, Sheldon and Wu Yanzu, who is 49 years old.

The film mainly tells the story of an alien who came to the earth to investigate, and the contact tools on his body were accidentally stolen by the earth people. In order to be able to go home, he embarked on a journey to find the chip. thing. Because he has a completely different way of thinking from the people on earth, everything he does is a joke, and is called PK (meaning "drunk" in Hindi) by the people on earth.

The theme of the film this time is: Faith.
What exactly is true faith? Is it a kind of sustenance when you are injured? Or a kind of truth, kindness and beauty that comes from the heart? Do you only pay attention to the form of prayer, or do you feel it with your heart and pray devoutly?
Faith, is it an original intention or a purpose?
We all forget to ask the world questions.

When PK came to the earth, he was completely naked. He looked fresh at everything and had no preconceived ideas. He was just a newborn baby, observing and thinking with curiosity.
But as he slowly blended into this mixed world, he began to learn and adapt to the way of life in this world. He had clothes to hide his shame and ignorance and sincere love. He couldn't tell what was real and what is false. When he asks questions to others with the simplest thinking, he is often made ugly by the other party. But PK is like a mirror. After laughing, you can think about it carefully. It is us who are really ugly.
When you start asking the world serious questions, a lot of things don't hold up.

In the film, PK asked the sculptor of the handmade statue: "Why do you do this?" The
sculptor: "For the convenience of everyone to pray."
PK: "God should be great, right? Is it everywhere?"
Carving Interviewer: "Of course."
PK: "Since God is everywhere, he should be able to hear where we pray, so why use this statue?" The
original intention was to "pray to God", but the purpose became "a means of profit".

To debunk the self-proclaimed superpower Hindu guru godman, PK sets up a logical problem. All claim that we are children of God, that is, God is our Father. Although no one has ever seen God, everyone has a father. When a child is sick, does the father tell him to travel thousands of miles to find a temple, or does he rush to find a way to cure the child? Is it to let the children save money and donate money to build a temple for themselves? Or use the money to help those children in need?

When you don’t ask questions, you never think about the unreasonableness of these actions. Donating money to God is a matter of course. But think about it, does God really need this kind of worship? Is this the only way God can get into your heart? If God keeps saying that he wants to bless you and help you, but never makes your life better, does this God really exist? Or has he become a tool for someone's personal gain?

The original intention is the purpose. And asking questions is the most important way to keep yourself in mind. However, in the process of realizing the original intention, we often forget to ask questions, so we gradually forget the direction. When we arrive at the destination, we find that the purpose and the original intention are already completely different.

The film can achieve such a huge success, and the "question" in the creative process is not without.
If two people who grew up in different environments fall in love, will there be no good results?
Can different beliefs, different races, and different customs really coexist harmoniously?
Can a person's life be determined by his appearance and clothes?
Did God create man, or did man create God?
Should we trust our inner beliefs? Or a god manipulated by man?

Like many Bollywood blockbusters, PK contains a variety of eye-catching Indian film elements, with song, dance, romance, drama and comedy. The details are amazing, and the joy is mixed with irony, but what really makes everyone like and recommend this work from the heart are the questions and answers behind the film.

This kind of creation is actually dangerous because it tries to make fun of the complex rituals of Indians: different ways of dressing, dazzling religions, the corruption of social authority, the drawbacks of religious commercialization (the villain is a Hindu leader like a character)... Therefore, the local people who believed in Hinduism were angry and expressed their desire to boycott the film.

But the temptation is too great for national treasure star Aamir Khan to give his first nude performance in the film. So the Indian women scolded him for being immoral, while sneaking into the cinema to watch it.

On the love line, the film arranges two Hindus and Muslims who have already had deep grievances to fall in love, which is really courageous. In our country, a geographical distance may break up a beautiful love, and to let two young people with different beliefs and feuds break through the secular world is itself trying to make an impossible thing possible.

Don't forget the original intention, firm trust, no matter how big the problem, no matter how far away, can't stop two people from being together.

It's a pity that Aamir Khan did not keep the most beautiful result of love for himself this time, but arranged it for two lovers who were separated due to misunderstanding. tape) back to its own planet.

Bollywood should be fortunate to have such directors and starring actors. Their sense of responsibility as an artist has made this film more thoughtful than joy. It analyzes the ills of Indian society from the perspective of an outsider who is immortal from the sky, and applies a comedic and easy expression. This rare creation of low profile and large scale is worthy of admiration.

What's more difficult than challenging people's religious views in a country full of religions? When we complain about the censorship system, think about how they broke through the cage, and in the multi-ethnic and multi-religious environment, they exposed the commercialization of religion so rationally and objectively. The prejudice between religions calls on everyone to cherish the purest and most beautiful emotions in their hearts.

Judging from the current situation, the film has become the most successful and controversial film in Indian history. As Indian leaders called for a ban, it became the highest-grossing Bollywood film in three weeks of release (4.7 billion rupees, or more than $100 million worldwide), surpassing the 2013 action starring Aamir Khan himself The film "Phantom Car God: The Passion of the Thief" (2.8 billion rupees), and Bollywood's third-highest-grossing film, or his starring "Three Silly Trouble in Bollywood" (2.03 billion rupees).

One person has occupied the top three best-selling movies in a country's film history, and the word of mouth has exploded. It is estimated that Aamir Khan can do it alone in the world. By the way: Among the top 10 foreign language films in North America in 2014, Indian films accounted for 5, and the best-selling "PK" had a box office of 9.15 million, ranking first in the year and 29th in film history. And China's top-grossing in North America is "Heart Flower Road Fang", which only made $780,000 at the box office.

PK quotes

  • Jagat Janani: What is your name?

    P.K.: I don't have any name. But i don't know why people called me PK... Pk...

  • P.K.: Which god should I believe? You all say that, it's only one god. I say, no... there are two gods. One is the one who created us all. The other one is the one created by people like you. We know nothing about the god who made us all. But the god people like you made is exactly like you... liar, pretend to act, giving false promises, meeting rich people sooner, letting the poor neglected, happy when get praised... People are afraid to even say a word. My right number is very simple, the God who created us all, put faith in Him. And the god like you created, the duplicate god, destroy it.
