The same inspirational blood in and out of the play.
0030 10 is adapted from a true story. Ma Havia Singh Pergas (Aamir Hussain Khan), a national wrestler, was forced by life and gave up his dream of winning glory for his country. He accidentally discovered that his daughters had sports talent and potential. Despite the opposition of his family and society, he began to train his daughters intensively, and finally cultivated a first-class female wrestler who can win glory for India in international competitions.
Whether it's the spirit of the "devil coach" that my father never gives up, or the arduous journey of my daughters from avoiding training to becoming champions, the whole movie is shrouded in a passionate and inspirational atmosphere.
Especially the fierce confrontation on the field made the audience's heart beat faster. However, the warmth between father and daughter outside the stadium and the humorous jokes that appear from time to time in the film make the whole film very relaxed.
Actually wrestling! Dad is not only the inspirational blood of the story itself, but also the efforts made by the actors outside the drama are admirable. In this film, Aamir Hussain Khan needs to play actors of 19, 29 and 55. To this end, he first completed the role of 19 years old youth drama; Then he gained 28 kilograms in a short time, and at the age of 55, he performed the role's fattening state. At this time, Aamir Hussain Khan's weight has reached 97 kilograms, and his body fat content is 37%, just like a middle-aged fat man with a big belly. Finally, in order to fit the figure of a 29-year-old wrestler in the golden age of his career, Aamir Hussain Khan sweated profusely in the gym for five months, not only lost 25 kilograms of fat, but also learned wrestling skills, creating a devil figure with eight abdominal muscles.
His experience of gaining weight and losing weight was made into a short film and put on the internet, which became an inspirational model in the mouth of netizens. Some viewers thought: "Aamir Hussain Khan was so absorbed that he turned his body from obesity into a devil in a few seconds. A good actor is acting with his life. "
When the reporter asked Aamir Hussain Khan, "Why not consider using simpler special effects makeup?" He replied, "it's not impossible, but I don't feel fat myself." As an actor, I think this is not good. "
Regarding the experience of "getting fat first and then losing weight", he also admitted frankly that if you shoot thin first, then you will still be a fat man after these films are finished, and I am afraid there will be no motivation to lose weight again.
Not only has it increased, but Aamir Hussain Khan and his two daughters in the film have been trained for a year and a half, and they have really become professional athletes, which is why the wrestling match in the film looks particularly real.
In an interview with reporters during the Beijing International Film Festival, Amir Amir Hussain Khan mentioned that the two actresses who played their daughters were newcomers in the Indian film industry, and they were inevitably injured during the training. One of them didn't even tell him that she had collapsed. "She is afraid that I am worried, and she is afraid that she will be replaced because of injury. Later, when we found out something was wrong, she told the truth. We took her to the doctor and yelled at her. Why didn't you tell us? Health is very important. "
Point the finger at India's social problems
1030 10 is based on the true story of the famous Indian wrestler Ma Havia Singh Pergas. He broke through many obstacles and accomplished an impossible task in India, a country with unequal gender, which attracted widespread international attention. Amir Hussain Khan, who has been devoted to Indian public welfare and called for equality between men and women, took a fancy to this special theme and put it on the screen.
The suffering of Indian women begins in the womb. Many mothers go to the hospital for sex identification after pregnancy. Once they are found to be baby girls, they are often killed in their mother's womb.
The film shows that in order to have a son, Mahavia searched all kinds of folk secret recipes and was ridiculed by the villagers, giving birth to four daughters. But Mahavia didn't give up his dream, so he decided to train.
Train my daughter into a wrestler and inherit my father's career. "Gold medal is still a gold medal, both men and women are the same."
At first, the two daughters were very resistant to their father's devil training until they attended the wedding of a girl of the same age. /kloc-The 0/4-year-old bride said to them enviously, "I hope to have such a father who can think about my future, instead of just letting me do housework and cook since I was a child. When I reach the age of 14, I will marry a man I have never met in a hurry, as if I never existed, and then I will live by brooms and stoves for the rest of my life. "
From this moment on, becoming a champion is not only my father's dream, but also the awakening of my two daughters to change their destiny.
In order to compete for the qualification, Mahavia even boldly let her daughter have a big challenge for men and women. After fierce struggle, it is proved that daughters are not worse than men.
Aamir Hussain Khan once said in an interview that in a conservative society like India, it is very bold for a father to take his daughter to watch a wrestling match, and he saw a breakthrough in gender from this character. "Not only is he psychologically strong, but his daughter is also very strong in this respect."
The climax of the film is that Gita challenges the Commonwealth Games champion, and her father encourages her: "Your opponent is not only Australian players, but also those who discriminate against women!" These words not only inspired her daughter's endless fighting spirit, but also voiced for women in India and the world. A gold medal not only changed the fate of a girl, but also gave hope to countless Indian girls who suffered from gender discrimination.
In addition to speaking for equality between men and women, the film also targets corrupt sports officials and coaches who don't know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, which have become various obstacles on the heroine's way to winning the championship. "90% of the plot is realistic, but the movie still needs some drama. Therefore, the role of coach is fictional, not based on realistic prototypes. "
Aamir Hussain Khan revealed that these plot settings came from the communication between him and the athletes. "Athletes often complain about the problems of sports facilities, the corruption of relevant administrative agencies, and the leaders of the association don't really care about the competition. They complained. "
