[Zhang Yao Film Review] _ _ _ Slumdog millionaire
& lt& lt Slumdog Millionaire > & gt—— Clever connection between ordinary and great, unexpected and reasonable stories.
I finished watching the film on a quiet night. This is a novel movie with a deep soul. It is said that his theme is novel because it skillfully integrates the experience and life of the protagonist Jamal into a TV program. Yes, the occurrence and progress of the story are more natural and vivid, and the plot and plot are relaxed alternately, which highlights the rhythm of the film. This kind of material selection increases the visibility and authenticity of the film. After reading it in one breath, Jamal's seemingly ordinary experience made me feel inexplicable sympathy. Movies are the art of life. This film brought me into the soul of India, an ancient city with profound cultural background and a long history. Of course, it is also accompanied by religious conflicts, wars, poverty, power and money transactions, etc ... This film unveiled the mysterious veil of India like the veil of the bride and brought us to India.
How can a child who grew up in a slum create a miracle in the history of Who Want to Be a Millionaire? At the beginning of the film, suspense was thrown, which laid a tense atmosphere. With suspenseful music and police interrogation, our attention was greatly focused. The story developed further. Jamal explained his experience to the police bit by bit and brought us into his life. The first question about the film actor told us about his living environment in the slums when he was a child, where people could hardly see the stars. Jamal finally got the autographs of the stars, and finally his brother Salim sold the autographed photos for money, which impressed the children very much. It is not surprising to type in the name of that star. Similarly, we learned about his living environment, the experience of losing his mother in childhood, and how to know his later girlfriend, Latikka. Forced by the hard life, he was cheated by traffickers and fled for his life, but he was separated from Latikka. The two brothers started their own lives. Finally, in order to get their girlfriend back, my brother killed the trafficker and defected to the gang. My brother stole my girlfriend, too. Slowly, we learned why he participated in this program. Who Want to Be a Millionaire is Latikka's favorite program, and his purpose is to get his girlfriend back.
We gradually understand how these seemingly unanswerable questions can be answered by a child who grew up in a slum. I still remember what Jamal said, "When I wake up every morning, I wish I didn't know the answer to that question." Then he was lost in thought. The sadness that flashed across his face stung my heart. Calm language contains too many emotions. The price of knowing this problem is that he lost his mother who loved him. These seemingly impossible answers have become-unexpected and reasonable.
Music, singing and dancing are the highlights of this film. India is an ancient country, and Indian art has been integrated into every aspect of life. The chaotic rap music in the film is combined with the plot introduction, melodious background music, scenes of children running and chaotic scenes in slums, which makes it easy for people to blend in. Enthusiastic Indian dance music is combined with the difficult but bitter life of the characters, and the persistent and firm love shining with pure light is set off with melodious but slightly sad music. Latikka's hot dance and the dances of Latikka and Jamal at the end of the film are the crowning touch of the film. We not only feel the rhythm of the film, but also appreciate Indian culture.
What's more worth mentioning is that the emotion of this film is very delicate, whether it is love or affection, it is worth remembering. The love story between Jamal and his girlfriend Latikka is pure and beautiful. Although it was hard, it finally had a happy ending. Jamal's love is persistent and firm. In any case, his love for Latikka never gave up, which can be seen from what his brother Salim said when he decided to let Latikka go to Jamal. At that time, he said, "He will never give up." Latikka also saw tender love perfectly, and several actors' eyes were tender, especially when Salim decided to hand over Latikka to gangsters and drive Jamal away. In order not to hurt Jamal, she said softly, "Go, Jamal ...". That sentence shows the gentleness peculiar to women. In times of crisis, I would rather sacrifice myself than protect the people I love. In addition, there are many scenes in the film where Latikka, an adult, smiles at the station, which exudes purity and gentleness and is carefully designed by the director.
As for brotherhood, it seems to be a foil to love, but I think brotherhood in this movie has gone beyond love. Salem looks bad, but he has always taken good care of his brother. Without Salim, the girl would not have walked among them and had deep feelings for her brother. I always remember that scene. My younger brother wanted the girl to go to their house to take shelter from the rain, but my older brother disagreed at first, saying that the girl would attract the police. Later, he agreed. They are asleep, but my brother is awake. In fact, all the bad things my brother did were out of love for him, hurting traffickers, letting go of Latikka's hand on the train, killing people, and going to find the gangster. . . . . . Everything seems evil, but if you think about it carefully, in such a social environment, without such a brother, they would sacrifice their lives and their love would be out of the question.
I like the soul of this movie. It brought me to a country and showed me its most essential things, which are not available in newspapers and news, and are problems that human beings must face in order to survive and develop. We can't ignore those children who continue to endure poverty, hunger and war. They may be in the lower class of society, but they have a complete mind like us. I think this film is also the director's silent prayer for them and their bright future.
