 Our stupid reactions. Our stupid reactions.our stupid reactions. Our stupid reactions. Elements! Don't be stupid. Yes, be stupid. As with me is always this idiot named RICK. All of es well. And we finally did it. We've done it. We've watched our first ever. I think I think your first ever. Your first ever. Our first ever. India Film.يمamal was paying school actback. And we went with the highly highly recommended apparently India classic. Yes 2009, I believe Three idiots, which we got to be honest part of the reason we went for that is because it's got the word idiot in it Yeah, I love idiot. That's a fitting. That's a fitting first film for our stupid reaction. Why not? so I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna kind of Spoiler alert. I don't I think all of you would have seen it already So pretty much what we're gonna talk about spoilers cuz I mean you've seen this Yes Although I will say for any of our American viewers who would watch this and friends and family of mine Turn this off Go watch it and then come back and watch it so you don't get any spoilers So yeah, what did what were your initial thoughts on thrice idiots? I freaking loved it. You freaking loved it I freaking loved it. It was Love it was very It was a very different experience from a American film very much so So it's like it was a new experience altogether, but not bad obviously not at all and in and in many respects It reminded me a lot of some rom-coms that we've got yeah But it's definitely not like a romantic comedy first of all because of its runtime. Yes run time no romantic comedies here go three hours and The other thing was the interjection the musical numbers and I just got to say I'm a I'm a music theater Musical theater lover mm-hmm, and I haven't had as much enjoyment In a movie watching musical numbers like that in the midst of like that that dance and those two being in love with each other Since Lala land hmm I freaking love this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the dance numbers. Yes. I'm not a huge fan of random Songs and a lot of people aren't Which these are very random because they say where and I loved it I mean it's not random for India because apparently all most Bollywood films Bring them on have a musical number bring them on life should be like that You should be walking down the street and all of a sudden everybody bursts into song But each one of them this one and then there was the the Yeah, all as well Strange It was it was in the buckets. They're sitting there with the thing with the butts And then there was this the short one with the guitar yes But what I really loved about this film was obviously at the beginning I was like what the heck is going on right because it was the initiation of the college, right? I was like what a whole stopping the plane initiation college like okay This is gonna be like animal house or something. Yeah, what we're getting into but it was very weird initiations, right? They were stamping people's butt. Yeah, I was loving that was peeing on door. Yeah, and you put the spoon underneath Charge went up. It was really cool. That was But then it it was so different because obviously you would have these corky corky things going on for a long long time Right, and then you just get this Face it you're set up for okay. Here we go. It's gonna be a long rom-com musical It's gonna be a lot of fun. They're working on the helicopter drone thing They're flying it up to his room and you're expecting him to be up there and totally surprised and then dude dudes hung I Out loud. I saw that I went whoa. Yeah, so that I was like what the okay. Yeah, okay, and then I was in yeah This is cool. It was What I the best part about this film is how important the subject 100% man It is like you don't see this kind of subject talked about in this corky type of film in America No, never no, it's told in a drama point of view if it's told it's or it would you know It reminded me a little bit the closest I could compare an American film to be Ferris Bueller's day off Yeah, but but it's nowhere near as deep as no it doesn't not even close It's not even just that and then like the the pressure of obviously we have some of that here in America But it's obviously heightened in India way and China China Massive all those kind of things they have very high suicide rates Yeah, people in school because and just owning your family just owns you if you don't go that way and so the The importance of telling this story and I've heard in the comments that it changed Or the way a lot of people think about the education system, which I think is amazing That's what film should do and I hope it helps and which is why I enjoy this film as much as I did because of that and then obviously this obviously when you jumped out the window, but the Another really great part that I loved was when he was telling him He's like I'm not gonna be an engineer and They had that the the guy who wanted to be the photographer talking to his dad kind of talking to his dad And you thought there was gonna be this whole spat and he was like he was gonna disown him and then he was like Sell the computer and you're like, oh man, he's good, but then he's like I'm gonna help my son No camera no matter how yeah, I thought that was okay I got a question for you because I think you're a lot We're not alike in this way. I will cry at the job of a hat. I take us a lot for Corbin to get teary-eyed No, I did not get teary-eyed I cried I cried multiple times in this movie. I've never cried in a film Multiple times I had to go get the tissue because I thought okay great I'm gonna be a mess multiple times throughout this movie. I cried several times. It might be because you're dead I have cried at movies since I'm a little but it does make a big difference being a dad and having been a teacher yeah, and and Thinking about how this is, you know, this isn't a true story, but it's based on true things that happen to people Yeah, and true principles and that scene with the dad just When oh when he says to him he gave him the example of somebody he said what is that person gonna think? What are people gonna think of you and he said I don't care what people think about me I care what you think about me. Yeah. Oh, I thought that was great the whole message of The that Amir Amir Khan put out so good. Yeah, he is he everybody was good in this well no But the whole message that he was like follow your passion Yes, he's like my passion is engineering, which is why I'm so good right why I'm so it's easy for me Right, you need to follow your passion your passion is photography Blah blah blah blah blah and to just the fact that they were such about friendship and then following your passion which is relatable to me Obviously school. I never was good in school because I hated school It's what I wanted to do right. I followed my passion. We're both actors So the following of the your dream that is a education wise it has no path that way writer What society expects you to do yeah most people like what's your what's your backup plan and all exactly especially for actors What's your plan be and we're like yeah, we don't have a baby. This is what we wanted to yep And so I love that message once again going back to me or Khan every time he was on screen. I was transfixed He's absolutely mesmerizing to watch so and just so good even though Sometimes his character was like really quirky and over the top. Yeah, it worked. Yeah, it did. I mean there was stuff I will I would have changed uh-huh, but I don't know if a lot of that had to do with like Since this was told as a memory. He was kind of almost Over the top because of the memories they had I know I think it was over the top because I think that's part of Comedy in India films and I'm we're just getting acclimated to them. I think it is a nine-year-old That's my great idea. It is a nine-year-old film. Uh-huh in the same way that we've got in American comedy stuff There's like vaudeville and schtick. Yeah I think there's particular things with facial expressions and over-the-top stuff that isn't real that you get away with in Comedies in India that some of the things that another thing that got me emotional. Mm-hmm that was when Virus Gives him the pen. Mm-hmm at the end. Mm-hmm. That got me emotional There were at least four places where I cried at least four and There were several spots where I thought okay wrap it up. This is a great ending They didn't I'm like, okay. Okay. Let's see and then the next one was I'm like, okay Yeah, I see that you it almost needed that one, too Three different films. They could have made it could have made a three part out of this in America. Almost Almost every hour was about a different subject, right? Yeah Like you know the first one was about the whole college and then it was about the guys Attempted suicide, right and then it was about the pregnancy at the end, but I still I wouldn't change a thing I I love it. Did you have any issues with it? No, I was looking for stuff There were a couple of spots and I'm talking maybe two percent of the film or there were a couple of writing things I went hmm, but for the most part, I thought the writing was great and Profound in some spots Especially there was a moment where he's talking to virus. I think and he's talking about he doesn't like the pictures And the people getting put in here and up here and he compared it to the caste system. I thought that was Ballsy to do in an Indian film to actually say that and call out the caste system I can't imagine how many other films actually have done that that benefits is one of the first it did that I don't know, but I know that that is a that's a big big big deal My only issues I wouldn't even change the runtime is way too long But I'm kind of cool with it being as long as it was it had five different endings But I I love every one of the endings five different Um, I believed them as a romantic couple. I'm yeah, the main two are really good. I enjoyed them together Um, I I just I like this so much that I was telling my kids I'm like you guys you need to watch this. I'm gonna watch I'm gonna watch it with them I want them all to see it because I think it's that good. Yeah, my biggest issues with it or um a Lot of acting with who? Where can I start? Because I didn't have a problem with anybody's acting and it that stood out to me to the point of I was like the first guy who had a huge Issue with was the guy who was initiating that peed on the door that he put the thing down in the first part Okay, he's a small part. He was a small part I don't know if a lot of these people are actually actors right of all the leads of all the people in the main parts The one who was as far as I was concerned the least of the believable and captivating ones was the The guy who was pursuing him to sign the thing and yeah, I've excelled more than you, but he didn't annoy me It wasn't like oh my goodness. He's so bad. I can't watch yeah He was of all of them He was just the one I would say was the weakest weakest link per se. It's just not my style I know a lot of these are caricatures. Yeah, and they're heightened for sure because it's kind of like Because a lot of it is holding a memory right and so I think it was a director choice to have them kind of over The top almost but they got so small in the dramatic But they got small that guy you're talking about I was not a fan of the professor. I thought virus. Yeah, it was not I I understand this like they wanted it over the top, but I think it was needed I think you would have gotten just as much if not more of a Hatred it only just seemed kind of silly What he was doing as opposed to see I like three stooges and all that so do I But that's how I viewed him as being it didn't fit ridiculous a caricature. It didn't fit to me But I would change obviously the runtime. Oh, I I didn't judge just too difficult I I kind of equated to almost like a 90s American film like a ten things I hate about you a lot of right characters are very heightened and over the top sure yeah Good example and all that kind of stuff, but that was a lot shorter I like this way more than I was expecting to and it's not because I wasn't expecting it to be good I was hoping yeah, we heard it. We heard it was good And I was hoping it was gonna be good and because they shipped gears so much. Yeah, right Because of that and because we were shocked with that guy who killed himself. I had this I had Game of Thrones Condition going on where the moment the baby was born and wasn't moving. I thought you Pig you have you did it didn't she it's still I was hoping you're gonna gonna stay right now I wasn't you know what I was doing I was saying out loud. I was hoping I was out. No, I was gonna be even better No, if they do that and if they did do that it would have blown my mind. Yeah, you know what I was doing Hmm. I was yeah, I was almost yelling at my screen telling them say all as well Say all as well Say all as well. That was the ending. I wanted and they gave it to me Yeah, I understand why they did everything I loved it I thought the whole message and it was a very uplifting film But also yeah, they even though it was uplifting it was a very important and they touched on Subjects, I've never seen almost touched in yes, even in America even in American films In there's a lot of depression and suicide. Yep But it's obviously not as much the school part of it. It's and we have pressures in the educational system They're not nearly like this. Oh, but yeah, I loved it. I loved all the twists I love all the good when he hung himself when the guy just randomly jumped out the window. Yeah Thought he was gone. Yeah, the confrontation with his parents. Yeah in the the job scene. Oh, that was so Well, so yeah, I loved it all those and how about come on come on the romantic in you When she's walking toward him and you're flashing back to his voice and he's saying when I dream of you You come to me off the scooter and you're not wearing a veil you take off your helmet. I love that. That was great Love that Mirkan did amazing amazing. So did she so I'm beautiful. I want to come believable I want to watch other stuff dangle.
