Bhaag Milkha Bhaag? (2013)

Douban score 7.7?

This film is about the legendary Indian track and field athlete Milkha Singh )'s life unfolds, adapted from a true story - the story of Milkha Singh, a former Indian track and field/sprinter known as "The Flying Sikh". Milkha Singh endured family destruction, Partition and homelessness, but he overcame all odds to become India's most iconic athlete.

"Soul Runner" is one of my favorite Indian movies because it is infinitely inspirational. Because I am a track and field athlete myself, Miha Sin’s story has particularly touched me for a long time. Like Miha Sin, I am a 400-meter athlete, so he moved me in many ways. Time has become the guiding light of my life. Even if I later stayed away from track and field, I would often take it out and look at it. It became a refueling station in my life. The most touching moment was when Mihasin asked the coach for the 400-meter world record on the plane. , 45.9 paid all the price for an improvement of 0.1 seconds. The 400-meter event can be said to be the most difficult in track and field. It requires athletes to have speed, endurance, technology and a perfect aerobic body. To put it bluntly, you must have the explosive power of a 100-meter sprint and an 800-meter sprint. Extreme endurance and cornering skills are the most difficult to practice! Especially the last 100-meter sprint down the curve. At this point, your body has reached a limit state and your mind is blank. You must have a strong psychological support point to help you complete the final sprint! So the core of this film is to control your soul to run and sprint...

Let me talk about the movie next. The movie tells the story of Miha who has experienced various setbacks and tragic experiences since he was a child and gradually became a great man. athletes, many of which use montage-style memory techniques to describe them. Although the dancing part of the film is a little bit too much, it does not affect the viewing quality of the film. The film changes the Indian film with love and family as the main line. The narrative method and colors are also restrained and restrained, no longer bright and colorful. The sadness from beginning to end is interspersed with Indian joy. From the sadness of the hero's death, to the heroism when he put on the national team jersey, to the desperate efforts after learning about the world record, and the emotion when he finally broke the record, these nodes all make people shed tears.

There is another thing to appreciate about the movie: medals are not the focus, and breaking records is not the most important. The most important thing is Miha Singh's mental journey, his joy and sorrow, his decline and growth. The movie portrays him as a flesh-and-blood national hero, rather than a superficial display of glory. I also particularly like the performance of the male protagonist, who seems to have devoted all his blood and sweat to this role, which is admirable.

In fact, Mihasin’s own story is even more inspiring. After he became famous, he sold the rights to film his personal biography for 1 rupee, and the salary from the film will also be donated to athletes in need... From this point on, I I have infinite respect for this legendary athlete.

Finally, I quote Mihar Singh's famous saying at the end of the film to tell everyone how to face their future life - "Diligence, perseverance, willpower, if you have these qualities, then... fly." ! Only the sky is the end
