Last Film Show (2021)

Actually, Indian cinema is not my kind of movie. But there's a good rating, not three hours... I thought I'd give it a try.

!

The movie is about an Indian nine year old boy from the slums, Samay (Bhavin Rabari), who falls in love with movies.

!

Well, I like movies, too... It's true, it's difficult now with good movies) And yes - the cinema is a puff of brains for all of us - the audience and does not bring anything good, as his father and even the projectionist keep telling the boy.
But he went to the cinema and was drawn into the empire of dreams.

Dragged so much that there was a place to "work the movie", wanted to run away from home, to explore the light... And receiving beatings from his father, he and his friends steal the films that are bad, invent a film projector, showing movies, even with voice-over.

!

And, in the end, the father steps in and doesn't stop his son from going after his dream.

The film is positioned as a kind, family film. About the fact that you need to dream and move towards the goal, and everything will work out. If you're obsessed with an idea - don't give it up. And so on and on and on.

For me it's just a pure movie, with a beautiful kid, dragged out in an Indian way. I wouldn't have finished watching it, but - I like India. It was nice to watch my mom make lunches for Samaj. There is such culinary art - stuffing eggplants with some wonderful mixture of cereals and herbs, previously crushed, then frying them on a red-hot frying pan (of course, this pan is not a pan at all, I just do not know what it is called). Or spinach dumplings. Even want to try) In contrast to the tea, which kneads (that he kneads there!) The father of the family for sale in the train station ...
And how the mother of the dashing daughter threw behind his back, like a backpack, and ran to see off Samaya in his new life! And that old cinema!

When film cinema was replaced by digital cinema, the viewer was shown the recycling of the films... It was unpleasant to watch the films being boiled. But somewhere I've already seen something recycled into plastic, and then the plastic is used to make colored bracelets, those Indian ones, all over the hand...

It was repeated more than once that the family were Brahmins, and that they were strangers to "all that filth," especially movie filth. I had to remember who brahmins are. Well, they are the highest of the four castes. In fact, it's just brahmans and nothing more, otherwise you won't be able to say whether you're a brahmin or not, in fact you're a rustic peasant with no education, selling tea at the railway station...but if you knew English you'd be a brahmin.

Most likely, the film is autobiographical. Perhaps director Pan Nalin made a movie about his journey. But it's not certain, just the thought came while watching it, I did not go into the story of this man.

From me 6.5 out of 10.
