This is a special report on "Indian conscience" made by Time magazine for Aamir Hussain Khan.

Amirkhan, a man who conquered the world with acting and character.

Sometimes you will suspect that he is just saying what he wants to say and doing what he wants under the guise of being an actor.

In his films, some sharp and ugly social problems will be presented to the world one by one.

He always tries to encourage the audience to pay more attention to social issues through film language.

In Bollywood, three fools make a scene, and he has doubts about exam-oriented education; The color of Baath Party attacked the political system at that time. Stars on the Earth pays attention to children's world and breaks people's prejudice against special people. My God has exposed various religious contradictions in India, as well as discrimination against women and the bondage of human nature.

And in the movie "Wrestle! In Dad, he even pointed out the discrimination and oppression of women in Indian society. Amir told the audience through the characters in the play: "Men and women are born equal, and every girl should control her own destiny. "

In fact, when he first came into contact with the script, amirkhan decided to present this work to the world perfectly, because it was a real case in Indian domestic sports-the story of Mahavia Singh Pokan.

In reality, the father also successfully trained his daughter to be a world-class wrestler. There are actually many social obstacles behind this, such as corruption, inaction, injustice, oppression, discrimination, black market trading and so on.

The appearance of this film not only talks about equality between men and women, but also exposes many gray areas of society, which is his ultimate goal.

All along, amirkhan's films are mostly sensitive subjects. He said:

"Making a movie is not to cater to anyone. In fact, when you make a film that is vital to your country, it is of vital significance to your country. So criticizing ourselves and our country is the first step of our progress. There is no need to be ashamed that our motherland has been put in the spotlight. What should be ashamed of is what our country lacks. "

He dares to show the poverty and backwardness of his country with a fair lens and uncover layers of fig leaf.

In addition, he made a documentary called Interview with the Truth. In the program, he confronted the dark side of Indian society. In each issue, he will invite guests to tell their own stories and poke the ugliest and most painful scars in contemporary India.

At that time, the program was almost banned because it was too realistic, and amirkhan himself was once involved in the center of the storm of public opinion.

But he told the world in the program: "I want to discuss some topics related to the people's livelihood in India. I don't blame anyone, I don't slander anyone, and I don't restrict anyone." Everyone says that the people who hurt us are close at hand, and maybe we are all responsible. "

Behind all this "fighter behavior" for the country, people seem to forget that he is an actor first.

As an actor, he always treats the script and himself with a rigorous attitude.

I believe I have seen the movie Wrestle! The audience of "Dad" knows that in this film, the father played by amirkhan, from a teenager to the last 200 Jin old man, has undergone great changes in appearance and body shape.

So in the early stage of shooting, amirkhan asked the shooting team to shoot the characters in the later stage, which forced him to gain weight crazily for a month. I suddenly gained weight to 194 Jin and became a 55-year-old middle-aged fat uncle.

Then, when the shooting rhythm slowed down, amirkhan trained himself as a devil. In the five-month extreme slimming plan, he successfully reduced from 194kg to 136kg, and the body fat rate also decreased from 36% to 9.8%.

Many people had doubts about the arrangement of this shooting sequence. amirkhan himself replied: "Shooting and the final perfect presentation are the spiritual pillars that spur me to continue my efforts. I don't want the audience to feel uncomfortable because of the character image (post-special effects). "

Why do you say that? This is because in the early stage of shooting, in the face of the fat old man's modeling, the stunt team tried fake special effects, but in pursuit of perfection, amirkhan rejected the idea: as an actor, that's not good!

He started masochistic fitness, desperately learned wrestling and other sports skills, trying to become a real wrestler.

So at the beginning of the film, when people followed memories and saw the role of 19-year-old father, that scene was actually the last picture taken by the crew.

It is this responsible attitude that makes Amir interpret every role very vividly.

And through the role, express the "citizen appeal" that I have always wanted to express.

I think this is the real actor. He will take his career seriously and will not make money selfishly.

He will use his own practical actions to change his imperfect or even "morbid" country. He can always find the pain points of society and expose the indulgence of reality.

Of course, some people questioned: "There is very little you can change after all."

Amirkhan said in an interview: "India is rising and thriving. As an Indian, I feel happy and proud. However, there are still many sad facts in society, but we turn a blind eye. Sometimes I think, why should I think about these things that have nothing to do with me? My life is very happy. What does other people's suffering have to do with me? But it's important. Is it because our ancestors cherished their dreams to build such an India? "

Obviously not, so with amirkhan, there is an actor who is willing to make the motherland better and better through his own efforts. He firmly believes that a single spark will develop into a prairie fire.

Reach for it and help the world! It is the ultimate for an actor to do this.

As a netizen on Douban said, "Amir? Sweat has changed my view of Indians and Indian stars. Face up to all kinds of bad habits and diseases in India and try to change them with your own strength. Among the many politicians, businessmen and stars around us, I have never seen such a person. 」

Chen once commented on him: "In front of him, every actor in China can be said to be ashamed. He has neither the ability nor the wisdom of others. "

Every country needs actors like amirkhan, and even more needs such citizens.

When will Amir come out of China? Sweat "?
