In recent years, with the emergence of Indian films, whether it is historical films, love stories, or detective films, etc., more and more people have been recognized and loved.
Indian actors are also gradually becoming familiar with everyone, among which the famous actors of India's three khans, Shah Rukh Khan, Amir Khan, Salman Khan and the films starring them are well known to Chinese.
And the unassuming Ilfan Khan is not among the three khans, but he is the best actor in my mind.
When I first learned today that Ilfan Khan had died of illness at the age of 53, I was shocked to the point of heartbreak. After watching one of his films while in India, I immediately became a fan of him.
Since that movie, I've found all his films and looked at them carefully, and I'm the best Indian film actor in my mind, an actor who belongs to the acting school rather than the idol school.
Two years ago, when I was in India, I saw reports that he had cancer, and later said that it was a tumor called neuroendocrine, and I went to the UK for treatment for a while, during which I saw some news about him from time to time, and I was very worried.
Later, seeing that he had been sharing his treatment process and mood with the outside world on Twitter, and that all the process of treating cancer was painful, he sincerely said that he was sometimes desperate and sometimes wanted to surrender.
He had just returned to Mumbai a few months ago, and he didn't expect it so quickly, but the abominable disease finally took him away, the best actor in India in my mind.
According to the data, he was born in 1967, graduated from the National Academy of Drama of India and began to work as an actor, engaged in acting for more than 30 years, not only active in Bollywood, but also active in Hollywood.
He is not handsome, but his eyes are deep, quiet and introverted middle-aged appearance, which makes people feel at ease at first glance.
I don't say I'm in "Jurassic Park" and "Slumdog Millionaires," nor about "The Starting Line," or the adults he starred in Ang Lee's "The Fantasy Drift of The Boy Pi."
I just want to talk about another movie he starred in, one of the least Indian films, called Lunchbox.
But when it comes to Indian movies, everyone's impression is that there is everywhere song and dance, Indian movies, the plot is not enough to sing and dance; the plot is enough, the song and dance are also made up.
The "Lunchbox" starring Irfan is an Indian film with no Indian songs and Indian dances at all.
It's an Indian film as quiet as Irfan. This is a film that subverts the imagination of outsiders about the emotional relationship of Indians, a pure Indian literary film.
I spent two years in India, often comparing it to all aspects of Chinese films, and I feel a lot of emotions, one thing is that in fact, in many ways, Indians may be more traditional and conservative than Chinese, especially in terms of emotions, and they pay a lot of attention to family concepts.
Indian women usually take care of housework at home after marriage, while Indian men work outside the home and eat meals cooked by their wives, have special people to deliver meals, and almost no habit of eating in the unit canteen or outside when working Chinese.
Mumbai, India, a food delivery person, has a historical tradition of more than 100 years, is to give the wife's freshly made bento to the husband who works outside to support the family, and this delivery person delivers more than 200,000 meals a day, with an error rate of one in ten million, and this movie is about the error rate of one in ten million, which led to the bachelor who died in a wife played by Irfan and met the housewife who cooked.
They relied on the note in the lunch box to contact each other, gradually became familiar from polite, confided in each other's loneliness and loneliness in life, and finally knew each other, but finally stopped at meeting each other in Bhutan.
The whole movie is warm and fresh, Ilfan plays a lonely male protagonist in the film, depressed, silent, restrained, saying that it is a feature film, the drama is not strong; saying that it is a love film, Ilfan and the woman have not met, and there is not a word of love in the notes that come and go.
In the film, Irfan is warm and introverted and eager to return to Hugh, his deep eyes explain everything in his heart, and the mature charm he exudes is like Liang Chaowei of "Fancy Years", and he is like Eastwood of "The Dream of the Covered Bridge". He portrayed the cultured and temperamental Indians with great charm.
In the movie, the male and female hosts regret a, and life, there are regrets, all life is like a trip, constantly on the field, constantly getting off the station, sometimes, there is no time to say goodbye to the past.
Three days before Ilkhan's death in Mumbai, his 95-year-old mother had just died in Jaipur, and the epidemic in India was not over, and the old mother and he were separated in two places, and there was no way to get together.
"Mom's coming to pick me up." It is said that this was the last words of Ilfan Khan before his death!
In this way, Irfan followed his mother closely. I wondered if he was in a hurry to meet his mother, say goodbye, and then walk to the next stop?
My Irfan Khan, all the way good.
"Indian Bollywood actor Irfan Khan died of illness on the 29th", when I saw this news, my heart could not help but be full of sadness and regret.
Almost all fans of Irfan Khan will first think of his outstanding performances in The Starting Line and The Fantastic Drift of The Young Pi, but for me, my favorite is Billu in Good Luck Barber.
Watching "Good Luck Barber" was to see Shah Rukh Khan, only to be impressed by Irfan Khan's acting skills and the characters in the play.
Billu and Sahir's friendship can be said to be a model of good friendship in the world. As a child, Billu gave his lunch box to the little friend named Sahir, secretly helped him get a haircut without his father, stole money to watch a movie with him on the way back, asked him to imitate the characters in the movie, sold his gold earrings to buy him a ticket to Mumbai, and stuffed the rest of the money into his shirt pocket...
As an adult, Sahir became a big star, and Billu didn't want to bother Sahir even when his life was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but wonder if Sahir had forgotten himself. Sahir certainly didn't forget Billu.
Friendship is beautiful because of its two-way nature, Sahir is obsessed with childhood partners, how can that sincere friendship be discarded because of the change of time and status?
This movie made me cry after laughing, and made me understand the preciousness of friendship and that a person should not lose his original intention.
Irfan Khan's mastery of the character's emotions and interpretation skills allows the audience to more intuitively feel what the film wants to express, and if you haven't seen it, don't miss it.
It was a blessing to know Irfan Khan as I grew up, and I will always remember his brilliant interpretation and good character
I regret the death of Ilfan Khan, because it is a loss in Bollywood and indeed in India and the whole world.
At the same time, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that he left behind brilliant works that can nourish more audiences for a long time.
The characters he portrays in front of the screen are all inspiring for the audience to think deeply.
He is a pious adult who has gone through vicissitudes in "The Fantasy Drifting of the Young Pi"; he is a city servant father who upholds justice and transcends utilitarianism in "The Starting Line"; he is a poor but not clingy, sincere friend who always pays sincerity in "Good Luck Barber".
Irfan Khan (RIP) is an actor I like very much, and his position in my heart is almost equal to that of the idol of the Heavenly King, Shah Rukh Khan (SRK), and his charm is even more restrained and profound.
Shah Rukh Khan often plays the glorious side of India, while Irfan Khan often plays the simple side of India.
When suffering and perseverance are good, complex beliefs are reflected in an ordinary person, and this trade-off contradiction is extremely empathetic and infectious, and resonates without borders.
The outstanding mission of literature and art is to lead people to the truth. That's why I love works and actors like this.
Hats off to Irrfan Khan!
