"You're all in the game, even if you're number one, what's the use of that?" Will your knowledge grow? No, only the pressure grows. This is a university, not a pressure cooker."
This sentence comes from the line of "Three Fools in Bollywood" that speaks to a common phenomenon of college life, college students want to compare their grades with others? Or do you need to work hard to improve yourself? This is indeed a question that is thought-provoking.
Three Fools in Bollywood is a story about this phenomenon, adapted from Chitan Bahat's novel Five Points, directed by Lakuma Hirani and starring Amir Khan, Madhavan, Salman Josh and Karina Karp, released on December 8, 2011 in Chinese mainland.
In 2010, the film won best film from the Indian International Film Institute, best screenplay from the Indian International Film Institute, best film at the Indian Film Audience Awards, and many other films.
Three fools make a big fuss about Bollywood
The film tells the story of Farhan, Raja and Rancher, students of the Royal College of Engineering, who share a room and become friends. At the college, which was known for its rigor, Rancher was a very different student, who did not follow the rules and even openly questioned his teaching methods. Not only for the principal, he also encouraged Farhan and Raja to bravely pursue their ideals. Rancher's maverick behavior caused the resentment of model student Chartu, who agreed to compete with Rancher ten years later to see which lifestyle was more successful.
When I first watched the film, I thought Rancher was a great student who dared to face this rotten system with his own ideas. It is precisely because of the original affirmation of Rancher that the editor also agreed with all of Rancher's behavior. But slowly it was discovered that if Rancher was not good enough to change the system and atmosphere that had already been "decayed", what would the result be. As I watch this movie over and over again, I see more helplessness, not only economic helplessness, but also spiritual and qualitative helplessness.
This article will interpret and analyze "Three Fools Bollywood" in four aspects in the chronological order of the film.
Students who are test-taking in education may be better on average
The end of your life may be the beginning of someone else's life
You think you know a friend well, maybe you don't know him at all
Only if you have enough strength, you will have the right to speak
Have you ever thought about such a question? In the eyes of the world, is It Chartu who succeeds, or does Fahan, Raja and Rancher succeed?
Chartu and the three protagonists, Fahan, Raja and Rancher, especially Rancher's spirit of exploration, may be the opposite of Rancher, who caters to the principal at school, is rote about most things, and even more so, looks condescending in front of the principal and some people of higher status than himself.
If there is such a person around everyone, what kind of attitude will everyone have towards him? I believe that many people like Rancher, and prefer to believe that Chartu will not achieve anything in his life. But on the contrary, he not only has a luxury villa, a sports car, but also a beautiful wife, this is a student who has been educated by exams since childhood, but has far beyond ordinary living conditions, I think if it were not for the three protagonists in their respective fields have unique insights and abilities, simply with money to measure the success of a person, he may be more likely to be a successful person than others.
But the risk of Chartu being able to live like this is even smaller, and he doesn't have to risk being expelled from school and isolated by his classmates like the other three. Since the heights reached are similar, why take more risks?
Everyone who has seen the movie should find that Rancher's original name was actually von Cha Wonder, the child of a late gardener of a rich family in India (for the sake of distinguishing, we are still the children of Rancher and the rich family), but Rancher's talent in learning from childhood was discovered by the rich, so the rich man made it easier for Rancher to replace his son in school, and after getting the graduation certificate, he disappeared.
Next, the children of wealthy businessmen may not have much talent in learning, but they can make a difference with their degrees. As a result, I believe that through the movie, I also saw that the son of a rich businessman went to Europe for 4 years, and then came back to be an engineer, still doing big business, still rich.
If It weren't for The Ability of Rancher to change his life, no one could guess what would happen to Rancher's life in the future. If Rancher is willing to be ordinary, then the day he graduated from college may be the end of his studies, with his knowledge to find a job to live an ordinary life, and the rich man's son is now a starting point, from the moment he got his degree, he showed his ambition has just begun, he can use this certificate to live a decent life, and continue to get more wealth. One person's end, one person's beginning, if there is no dramatic change, maybe this is the final destination of two people.
I think this is also the charm of society, maybe everyone's starting point is different, but they can change their own capital, the rich may have more capital, maybe they are born at your end, then you don't move forward? I think that's the charm of life.
You feel like you have the whole world, and instead, you may be just a drop in the ocean.
Through this movie, I saw a different life, similar to the one in "Truman's World", where everyone else in the society you live in now is an actor, with the purpose of trapping yourself now. Of course, this movie doesn't do that, but have you ever thought about such a question? We seem to be familiar with people who have changed their fate after a few years together, but in the end we may not understand each other, which is not a sad thing.
Farhan, Raja and Rancher are friends in college, the three can be said to be inseparable in the college career, and finally Rancher encouraged the other two not only to comply with the wishes of their parents, but to pursue what they want, and finally made the lives of the two change dramatically, but if it is not agreed to meet again in a few years, everyone may not know Rancher's true experience. Maybe the Lancher you think is not real.
There are thousands of worlds, there are no wonders. Maybe things that we believe to be true tend to develop in different directions, and maybe we can't avoid some changes in life, but what we can do is to not forget the original intention and move forward when the world changes.
Have you noticed the scene at the end of the film when Chartu meets with Rancher? It ends with Chartu's "humbleness". But have you ever thought about what it would be like if Rancher hadn't been so successful, I think it might have been the regression of the other three.
Perhaps in some industries, only when a person has a certain strength, or has a unique achievement in some fields, can have enough right to speak, and the anger without bottom is meaningless. When a person has enough strength, he can continue to have the capital of "pride".
I think this is also the path that a person must go through in life, thick and full of growth.
This is a classic film with a length of nearly three hours, but there is no superfluous plot in the whole process, and the cleverness of the plot echo is commendable, and a movie can please the audience, that is, a peak.
Watching the whole film, thinking more about the true meaning of life, whether we are running for a better time, or to make ourselves excellent "tired". Maybe some people are educated, beaten by society, become mercenary, abandon their original dreams, and even become unaware of what they want, but whenever I watch it, I try to remember what ambitions the child who has not yet been institutionalized should have, and strive to become better and more "innocent".
In the end, in the face of your original self, you can only continue to strive for excellence and strive to make yourself better. In order to better enjoy every moment of life. Afraid of tomorrow, how can we live today? The heart is very fragile, and we have to learn to stop and rest. Learning is about perfecting life, not having fun.
