 reaction to the idiot's I'm Corbin. As with me as always is this Gully Boy named Rick. Gully Boy, Gully Boy. If you enjoyed our channel go and smash the like button, subscribe and ring that little bell to be part of the notification squad. There are various social media platforms, Instagram, Twitter, for that. Jussie, come on. Anyways, so today it was a big day. It was. We watched Gully Boy in the fairtale. This was our first experience watching a India film in a theater. Yes. And so the way that we're going to do the review is the first half is going to be non-spoilers. Correct for those of you who haven't seen it because it just came out. And then I will put up an alert that says spoiler. And then that's when we will start talking about spoilers. You've been warned. Yep. So yeah, I thought the whole, I was almost transfixed the whole time. I agree with you. I loved every second of it. Every second of it. I didn't really notice until they put an intermission in the middle of it. Which wasn't really an intermission. I'm guessing in India cinema that they might actually take a little break because this intermission, yeah, this is kind of a spoiler, I don't know. No, it was it was it was almost a SpongeBob intermission. The middle of it just came up and it said intermission. And then it went on for five seconds and it went away and it kept going. Yeah, so I don't know what that was about. Two months later. But the whole cast, the story was great. And obviously we went into it knowing absolutely zero about this. Right. And we don't know. Other than the trailer, we don't know who this the artist was. No, we don't know the story. We don't know anything. Don't know the history of rap in India or hip hop. But I think one of the things that struck me most outside of the acting was the immersion of the world that they put you in because they filmed it in whatever I think some I forget what I said. I want to say Yeah. Sorry. It's Mumbai. Yeah. Okay. They filled it in Mumbai. And you could just tell it was so confined and so claustrophobic almost. We'll say something about that in the spoiler. Yeah. But you would just kind of immersed in that world and it's, you know, world that we don't know very well. Yeah. Let's talk about the ensemble shall we go ahead. Let's talk about the acting being actors who love acting and good acting. So the person who stole the show for both of us without question was Alia. But but yeah, it's gotta be but Alia, but Alia, but who plays Safina, Safina. She is a gem. Phenomenal. India, you've got a gem on your hand. She was in she was in zero and she was also in Rossi. We want to see her. Yeah, some American films. Yeah. She's so everybody. See, here's the thing. We agree. There wasn't anybody in it that gave a bad performance. In fact, a lot of the supporting things were his mom and dad. Yeah. We're fantastic. So was the guy who plays Moe and his friend. Yeah. So but signaling her out, there were just points and it part of it is her role or character. She's got a great role. She got a great role, but strong independent woman. Exactly. But she never had a false moment. I mean, she just never has a false moment. Again, what? Yeah. I'm saving for the spoiler section. So the relationship she had with her parents was quite interesting. They come from a Muslim family. And spoilers. Yeah, that's not a spoiler. I'm just being careful. But obviously we know that it was interesting to see that that world in that perspective because we don't get a lot of that here, at least an authentic and authentic depiction of Muslim life in India. The combination. I thought it was an amazing combination from our perspective to see things that we are oblivious to here in America as far as what life is like for people in India, but also how similar life is like in India. Yeah. It's this interesting blend of on the one hand, it's so different and we know so little about it because we're not exposed to it. But at the same time, it's so similar to some of the, it's universal. And I found the film was far more universally appealing to anybody who would see it. I think anybody here in America who saw that could, there's no way you could walk away from this movie not loving it. Yeah. Also, another point is the music in it. Oh, I mean, some of those songs I believe are they're actual songs. Yeah. The actual rapper songs, but the last one will just give you kind of goose bumps because absolutely it will. I'm going freaking fantastic. I listened to it after we left. I did too. That's why I've got my phone out because I created a playlist and on my playlist, I've got stuff from three idiots and I've got KGF and then right there the last two are from what we just saw today. And I was listening to it. Yeah. The whole drive. That last one is, as the kids say, a banger. Yeah. Or as they say in there, the lyrics in that are hard. What? Say it throughout the movie the whole time. That was one of the lingual phrases they threw around. Anyway, it's a tight, awesome lyric. It's hard. The story, the acting, the writing, the directing. Everything. Obviously the cinematography was phenomenal. But the writing, yeah, the script was great. Of the films we've watched, this is probably one of my favorites. Everything was top notch. If it was an American, it could have been nominated for an Oscar. Again. Just like Pink type film. Yeah. All right. So we dive into some spoilers. So yeah, we will dive into some spoilers now, but I would give it about a 4.5. I will go into my depths of what I didn't. I had some, my issues with it. There aren't a lot. But for me, the signal for me about a movie is twofold. If I love the movie, number one, I want to go see it again. And I'm listening to the music and I can't get it out of my head afterwards. And then the other big one is I immediately want to take people I know and care about to go see the movie again. And that's how I felt. But do they want to go with you? Yes, they do. Because everyone loves to be in a movie theater with me. Except him. This is your spoiler warning. Here we go. They all died. Yeah, everybody in the movie. What? Wow. Everyone's so brutal. It's worse than Game of Thrones. So yeah, this is the kind of more the in depth spoiler talk. If you've already seen the film or if you already know the story, I'm sure a lot of you already do. So let me share a moment that I love that she did. And it's such a simple little moment. When she does this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Most of our, I think, favorite parts of this film are from Aliyah, how do you say? Yeah. Aliyah's perspective? Yes. Who plays Safina? Safina, yeah. Every time she's on screen, you're just mesmerized. Breaking, transfixed. Yes. And it's crazy when you're first introduced to her on the bus. We don't know anything about her. Right. At all. We just think, oh, this is a love interest. Other than, other than the obvious, she's got a very pretty face. Pretty face. Yeah. And oh, it looks like they're going to have love interest at some point, blah, blah, blah, they look at each other. And then she's like, not sitting down. And then she goes over, sits down, I'm like, oh, she's an aggressive girl. And then they just start holding hands and listening to me. And so is this how it works in India? We looked at each other and was like, wait, what? I guess you make eye contact with some girl and then she just walks over and listens to you. This is my wife now. Yep. We're married. That's how it happens on the bus. Yeah. But the way that was introduced was really cool. Yeah. Obviously, oh, they actually have a relationship going on. Right. But the whole relationships that she had with almost everyone, I thought was great because she commanded each relationship. She sure did. The use of relationship she had. I mean, I don't, here in America, that would be a very abusive relationship with her parents. But I don't know how both of their relationships with her parents are abusive. I don't know the culture differences. There's a lot of hitting. Right. Right. And at least in this film and all that kind of stuff. But she commanded each relationship with just did what she want with it. She told her, don't worry, I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to do what I want to do. And so we love that fierceness in her. And she's quickly became one of my favorite Bollywood actresses. Absolutely. Because she goes from what you think is this meek, submissive, quiet girl. And then she walks in the girl's work. Oh, yeah. And you're like, oh, I like this girl. Bachelorette. And then she goes in when the guy cheats on her. Yeah. And she quickly figures out. Yeah. Because it was obvious. And then she just smacks her with a bottle. And before that, when she socked her, she was like, be quiet, shut up. Yeah. Don't talk to me. That part of the film, I was like, oh, I don't like this guy anymore. I know. What's wrong with it? But I also understood. She quickly forgave him. She really did. And I also understood and I loved his description. I thought that was really beautiful. And I liked the girl that played Skye. That character, that character's response, the way that was written when he said not having her in my life is like not having a childhood. Yeah. And you can see in Skye's face the registration of guys gone, he's in love. This is not going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was another really good supporting character. I thought the best friend, what's his face? Moine. Moine? Yes. Did phenomenal. I thought he. Fantastic. I thought his character was really cool. Honestly, even though he was really, really good, I thought the main guy who played Golly Boy was probably the weakest. Which is, we don't mean that as an insult. He did really well. He did extremely well. It's just the rest of the cast was. Right. It would be like an American film where. But he might have just been playing a more reserved character. Very true. That could have just been. It would have been a film, in America, this would have been a film where all of the buzz would have been about hers, the supporting actress. And she would have gotten all the nominations and you don't know if he would have gotten nominations. But that doesn't mean he wasn't great. Yeah. Because I thought he was fantastic in the role and I wouldn't want to see anybody else in that role. I think he fit that role. But as far as the one that just blew me out of the water. Yeah. It was her. It was her. Yeah. But it was, I do have a question. My biggest issue with the film. Which I didn't have a big issue. It's not really a big issue. Honestly, it's just some, when I was watching it, I was like, there's something weird going on that I don't understand. There was no cussing in the film. Yeah, there was at the opening. There was a lot at the very opening. Where? Oh, all over the place. At the very beginning. And I noticed it because of another movie I've seen you haven't seen yet. Anyways, but the rest of the film there wasn't. Correct. But the opening, the opening five minutes had quite a lot of cussing. I didn't even see that. Anyways, but I thought it was kind of weird because here in the rap culture in America, that culture is just part of the language. Right. And so it seemed out of place to not have that around it. But then they did say something. They said they banned cussing in rap. One of the guys, the guy who played the lying guy. He said they banned, because he was dissing him. He's like, I know why they banned cussing. Right. Rap, beat blah blah blah. So I don't know if that was part of it. I didn't know if what this was actually rated. But I can tell you without ruining anything, one of the other movies I've watched that you haven't seen yet is a film that at every other level would be considered a rated R film, except for the language. And it's almost, we'll talk about this in that review. It was almost comical to me because you expect that because in our rated films here, they're loaded with language. But I believe based on the exposure we've had in such little time, I believe that there definitely is whether it's been a legitimate ban in the country or just an artistic choice because culturally, what I've learned is how deeply they respect people. I mean, you can see it in our comments. My Instagram posts and our comments are all, sir. There's such respect and politeness. And that respect and politeness is for human life. And the power of words and the appreciation of knowledge and how words convey knowledge, I think they have a very different perspective on the power of words than we do. And vulgarity becomes something that will completely shut somebody off from a film that they just, it's too insulting for them to handle it. Well, let me know, please. Yeah, I'd really love to know that as well. Like I said, it's not really an issue. It didn't make the film bad at all. It was just something that was like, it seems weird to me. You know what? And now that you say that, this shows you how good this film actually is because ordinarily, if you were to tell a story like this, that it talked about street and rap and you didn't have vulgarity, I would write it off as not being a realistic film. And I believed every single moment I watched this film. Like I said, I don't know if it's a different culture basically. Yeah, but I didn't, I didn't feel like I don't know if this rapper doesn't cause, I don't know. Yeah, and I didn't feel like they weren't being honest or real and it didn't even dawn on me that they weren't cussing that much at that point. Yeah, that's the only thing. Anyways, like we said, please go see this film. Yeah, support this movie. It's a phenomenal film. We both loved it. I'd give it a 4.5, close to five stars. Yeah, it was great. Great. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Gonna see it again. It's just fantastic. And that young lady is a jewel. Yes. Good stuff, India. Namaste. Namaste.
