My name is Khan (Movie)

[Zorkorist]

Have ya'll seen this? It's Bollywood (Indian) but the actors and story are top notch.

I recommend that everyone see this, subtitles and all.

is this the one where the car flys up in the air and gets hit with a rocket and twists sideways while the guy jumps out with a sword screaming and cuts off the arm of the badguy who falls into a deep cliff and the dude catches the girl and lands and they start singing?

 

[Zorkorist]

No, it was the one before that.

If you're so seriously pessimistic about movies... please watch this one, and it will change your mind.

I will check that one out John- I though that this one was the same movie that John Stewart had on his show last week with the action scene I mentioned above. I did not mean to thread crap.

I like Bollywood movies.

This one has a convoluted plot it seems and an anti-American message or at least a message critical of the still developing security procedures put into place post 9/11 along with a story of misunderstandings due to the protagonist's autistic condition.

Which is why this thread is here rather than OT?

 

[Zorkorist]

Yes, it's a politial movie. But the humanity, I feel is over-whelming.

I found myself close to, or, in tears more times in this "political" movie, than I do when facing real life.

The movie is extraordinarily acted, and the story is great.

The story is inspirational, to the extent that I would like to see CBS, NBC, or ABC, show this movie.

I feel the same way when I see "Being There." So, I'm there!

 

[Zorkorist]

I don't think "Being There" is the same, or even close movie.

"Being There" was more a reflection on nothingness..

"My Name is Khan" is a demand, to be recognized, for what he is.

John, that was a joke.

I will still plan on seeing the movie.

 

[Zorkorist]

Hah, sorry.

Shahruk Khan shouldn't have gone full retard.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Khhaaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!!!!

 

[Zorkorist]

Shahruk Khan shouldn't have gone full retard.

He did it extremely well, and by the way, one of the points of the movie was that there ain't no retards.

Khhaaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!!!!

It's a typical Indian melodrama with a fairy-tale story. As long as they keep making implausible, melodramatic, dance-filled, three-hour love fests, I refuse to watch any Indian film. They just can't seem to make anything remotely plausible. Almost all plot lines are extremely far-fetched and filled with overly emotional acting/dialogues.

Once in a while, something comes along that exhibits these characteristics to a lesser degree and they tout it as the best film ever made, except that it's not and is still based on an extremely unlikely premise.

 

[SandEagle]

that movie was stupid as hell.

watch Jodhaa Akbar. you will thank me. I think its also on Netflix.

hrithik and aishwarya.....great acting

 

[bigrash]

I've heard that it was good (from Bollywood movie watchers). I saw it at Redbox and was gonna pick it up but then realized that I hate Bollywood movies.

 

[Dominato3r]

I guess I'll watch it. Last remotely Indian movie I watched was Slumdog Millionaire.

No songs and dancing. Slightly slow though. Oh and its not Bollywood, just Indian.

 

[Zorkorist]

All the music, and a lot of the dialogue was Indian. So forgive me if I don't know Indian movies from Bollywood, which I think they even promoted during the credits.

The movie itself, is not some theme we come across everyday in movies, like cops and robbers, it's much more than that. It's a lesson to Humanity, that the least of us, is as important as the greatest of us.

It's better than Slumdog Millionaire, and not as violent.
