Cuz sorry cuz sorry We just I don't know now you're doing my blank. Why am I blanking on this film because that's it Which is from what's that sir? There you go. Good job Corbin. I got there We just watched Kassari. We went to the theater and saw it. This is our first Introduction to Akshay Kumar. It is we had seen a bunch of his trailers and we saw a scene of his from Namaste, London Right, but we'd never actually seen a film of his and obviously he's a huge actor Yeah, and well we'll start with the non-spoilers. We'll start with the non-spoilers We'll work away and then we'll warn you if you haven't seen it yet You can come back after you've seen it, but we'll start with the non-spoilers. Yes So the the film is about this Seek soldiers right and a true story and a true story that we had no idea about exactly like a lot of stuff from India Yeah, what what a shocker. Yeah But it kind of starts out and it starts out almost pretty fast no spoilers remember. Yeah, it starts out almost pretty fast and Well, first of all, did you like it? Yes, thumbs up thumbs down. Yes. Yes, we would say go see the movie definitely go see the movie. Yes And I would say it out. It's probably One of those I they would for sure say that it's an important movie in terms of I mean we didn't we didn't that was probably one of my most favorite things about the film is Here in America, obviously we are aware of the seek right Oh, yeah, well then I run into them all the time here in LA. Yes But obviously we don't know the history of Sikhs. Not at all. We don't know Honestly, I did not know that they were known as such warriors Me neither. I here in America at least we've known them as these peaceful people. That's exactly If you see them walking around they have the turban on they're they're these peaceful quiet keep to themselves Yeah, I'm sure these people are as well but exactly not the warrior tradition know the warrior tradition about it and I loved learning that yep And I did the film it was one very beautiful at times if I didn't he gripes with the films. It was that From the trailer if you're going in expecting a full-on action film the whole right you're going to be disappointed Yeah, it's not it's not that so if you know that going there there is action, especially towards the end Obviously a lot the battle. Yeah, as you know as you would expect That's not a spoiler. Yeah, because you expect that you've seen in the trailer the fighting and you probably know the story In the beginning, so let's let's go to the spoilers now. Let's talk about we said we liked it. That's enough Let's not talk about yes. Go see so go see it and now here come the spoiler So the it started out quite fast obviously because you you see them just talking and then That woman right brought out a woman's brought out and they're going to kill her right so those gives you that tension right away And so I thought that was interesting. It was it definitely showed the the epicness It was almost KGF style slow-mo sometimes. Yeah, not not not not editing wise Editing it was fine No, but just the hero the hero the slow-mo jumping Uh-huh a lot of cool epic shot We're always going to refer back to KGF because that was the first big epic action Heroic thing we saw so it was back to that and so but then you saw this Relationship they had with the Brits at the time obviously because they were still under a brick rule, right? Yeah, that whole relationship was so interesting. Yep because Especially a lot of the lines they gave they said your slaves in oh, that's in your country and I was insulted No kidding and knowing what we've learned about the sea thing calling them cowards calling them the country basically a crap hole Yeah, yeah, you breed cowards. Yeah, so I was I was oh it was insulted really very much also by the guys acting I Sorry, how'd you feel about them the the Brit non the non Indian actors? I don't even know if he was British He might have been an American giving a British accent. Yeah, I don't know I don't know I would have liked to have seen better the Cumberbatch in that role It would have been a great it would have been great in that role but let's go so the whole Americans and Bollywood and Obviously, you know said Indians and American films until recently have yeah made that change man Yeah, I really want that to change but yeah them going in that relationship was so interesting because it goes back to the History that because that's what I love to learn in all these films all the different traditions all the different history that we have no idea About because they don't wear America. We focus on America. Yep, you really do in the area We learn is Gandhi. Yep. That's pretty much all we get in world history from you guys So the the most I've learned about India has been in the past two months 100% And it's way better. Yeah, what we've been told so The the middle part is where if you're not if you don't like acting and dialogue They might lose you. Yeah, except for the fact. I was shocked by the how much yeah, yeah Yeah, you didn't you don't expect that it's not a comedy. No, but but I did not expect all the humor No, it was very funny very funny, especially when he was um Shipped over to the different four exact. That's when it really kicked in that one started really get good cook-a-doodle-doo. Yeah Oh Started get it with the whole that whole fort. I forgive me as I don't know And it I really love the fact that we had the row in front of us There weren't a lot of people in the theater But we had we had four people in front of us who we were getting to enjoy the movie with them and hearing them laugh at some Of the things that we were laughing to which a lot of the times when we go see the films We go to an early show and there's nobody in the theater And it was nice to have kind of an audience experience that I'm sure if you go see this thing in theaters in India I'm sure they sell out. Oh, yeah, it's it's loaded. Yeah, and they actually laughed at stuff We didn't laugh at it because I'm sure there was there was stuff that they caught the big Cultural stuff that we don't know. Yeah, we got most of it And we were laughing at the same times, but the that was quite interesting because we haven't had that experience yet No in theaters. No, it's not. I can't wait or other white people right or nobody or no But yeah, the film got really really good once you met all those people. Yeah, that's when I I mean and those are the people of the story about so that makes sense. Exactly, but the funniness that I just was not expecting Yeah, and loved it. I was so surprised. Yeah And how many time they like either Akshay Kumar broke like when he went in he's like, huh? It was almost slapsticky a few times and I loved it Yeah, it was made them very endearing and it was like it seems so strange because I was really anticipating this stoic warrior And it did there it was beautiful. I love that. Yeah, I loved learning. I wish there was some things I wish that I They translated the stuff on the wall. I know I don't know if that was their name that black. Yeah I don't know what that said. They didn't translate like what they were looking out of the wall that they replaced I assume it's the name of the soldiers stationed there and then what the kid was writing on the wall So which was their names. Yeah, was that their name because they did show the first name So with each person that died he was writing and we could get the picture that he was writing their names But I would have liked to have seen yeah Man, there's so much I liked about this that I could talk over and over about the first of all Let's talk about the star that Akshay Kumar. He's fantastic. One. He doesn't even look like Akshay Kumar No, he has an epic beard epic beard Great face believable every minute. He's on I love the relations that how they brought in the wife That's actually his wife. I couldn't tell I'm pretty sure that was okay That was his wife and she's gone obviously, okay, but he still talks to her I thought it was and it was done in such an intelligent way because when they brought her in I didn't know if it was a Flashback. I thought he went back. It's like oh, there's his wife. Yeah, and then when they do another shot She's gone. It's like oh, thank you for letting us figure that out. Yeah really smart Yeah, and I yeah, I actually remember that when I first went in I was like I don't like that I don't know if this is a flashback or not And then like he said they let us kind of figure it out right on so I I didn't have a problem with it after that me too Appreciate that. So that that was that was cool. I love he's great. How many interacted with the wife And the humor yep that they yeah the playfulness. Yeah, you want me to spank you. Yeah Naughty girl. That was great. So fun And they're beautiful wedding the way they did the flashback to the wedding It was just it was the whole wife thing I thought was really real and they did the little brave heart thing at the end Where he's there and he sees her and she's looking a lot of bring part references Quite a few felt a lot like that epic without and it's not a steal. No, it's an honoring It's a very epic. There's almost a Rambo moment too when he had the single-shot rifles Oh, that was too bad. There was some epic kill moments. There were some rip like at the end battle sequence is Phenomenal yes, and a lot of interesting moments too like when he saw the kids and you didn't kill him But then the kid ended up killing him. Yeah, so that was But then at the end the oh, were they Afghani they were yeah they They say don't touch their turban. So it's mutual even though they're enemies, right? It was almost this respect for these brave seek warriors It's what happens at the end of like an MMA fight where the two guys fight and then when it's all over They're like looking at each other going respect. Yeah, but but not really not really not one of them is not exactly really good people Not at all At least that group of them. Yeah, no They came to me the personality of that group that was attacking them was note was the embodiment of what terrorists are Yeah, that's that's how I felt of them is that these were when they brought the girl out Yeah to kill her it was that radical extremism and they didn't even care about their killed people Exactly. Yeah, they didn't want to give water and then they stacked them on top of each other on their own people Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, but it made for an epic film. I do wonder how much of this is true I mean, I know the story is true. How much of the scenes or cinema like the Hollywood? I'm sure it's grand Liberties were taken. Oh, yeah, I'm sure he didn't swing over the edge of the fort on a rope Yeah, which was a cool shot. It's a cool shot and I didn't as much as I loved it I don't know that he had that final epic battle with that many kill ratio. It could have been I don't care Mm-hmm. I loved watching him in there was a big slow. I mean uber slow mo. Oh, yeah I mean just you see it coming They had some cool surprises to the a lot of the bomb sequences. Yeah, like when The people were going to be and then they caught him. He's like, oh, they caught him He's selling stuff dripping from dripping from him They told the thing off and then that the visual effects were great the visual effects of the stunt work Bang Fantastic, man. There was one shot where the guys fell over and landed on the dead bodies Several explosions that yeah, and then obviously the end one with that Man, and he went out and he was just on the fire Epic. Yeah, that could have been ruined too with bad CGI But the fact that he you know and the fact that that dude said I want to hear this guy scream and it was the kid You know and and and as actually he's looking there. He goes stay strong brother And that little that little guy who was so scared. He couldn't even pull the trigger comes out on fire and Screams and that was the other thing. I'm so thankful for we've learned about India The fact that they talked about the saffron You know, I would never have known that that's the specific color of the Indian flag or of their turbines I didn't know that at all and I knew about saffron in the Indian colors I've learned that because of the stupid family and so when he mentioned the saffron. There's that giant sense of Pride that rises up when you know the greatness of this nation. You cry. No, I actually didn't cry guys I did not cry. I didn't either, but I did get emotional. Yeah, I was very emotional I was very connected. I got the same feeling I did in Uri when the kids screamed Yes, yes, and when they screamed back. Yes, so it was this military. I mean, they're military Yes, that kind of thing. Yeah, I got very emotional, but it didn't come to tears and I'll never force the tears But they don't come they don't yeah, so but yeah It was it was an emotional like you felt that little thing Mm-hmm and your and your chest and you're like mm and it's usually anything military Especially if they do chance for the fallen soldiers Yeah, and all that kind of stuff and it was very reminiscent as well of what happened at the Alamo because we know that story extraordinarily well here in America In Texas the fact that the they lost the fight, but because they withstood them they celebrate Let me tell you yeah, they do but because they withstood them so long That enabled another victory to be taking place over here and just like with these guys They withstood them so long that those guys didn't have a chance to go get the other forts So I'd love to go visit the place where they're honored. Yeah Royals. Yeah, that'd be amazing to go see that my favorite part of the film was Obvious actually Kumar's performance. He's phenomenal fantastic. My favorite performance. He's ever given. Yeah Best work we've ever seen him do But the the learning the history of the Sikh people yep is I just love learning about different cultures and Especially India now all the stuff. We don't know. I'm very interested in and know different people's views and different people's traditions and all that kind of stuff it only gripes. I think I had with a film where sometimes the Explosions or the Scenes not all the time most of the time it was great, but I did see almost like almost Low budget a low budget like CGI thing. Yeah, not not all the time. Okay. Yeah, it was It's more towards the beginning. Okay, there's some of the I forget what the first explosion was But there was an explosion and I was like, mm-hmm. It looks like an I movie explosion almost But that's really the only gripe and if you if once again, we both like dialogue and Acting yeah, so if you I can see if you're not into that It can it could slow. It could it could drag if you don't like in the middle, but I do but yeah I Enjoyed yeah, especially when they got to the fort. Oh, yeah, that's when the film really kicked in yeah for me That that that everything's preamble. Yeah to that It's all setting it up until he gets there and they do the whole comedy thing and then that's really where the story Yeah, I thought the whole bit between him and the girl that Was he saved at the beginning? Yeah, it was it was a great scene. That was a really good It was a really touching scene. Yeah, he oh, I forget what he was eating because I was trying to see I was like did we eat Then right I don't think the rice I couldn't know But it was such a sweet gesture that she gave to him and that he ate it and trusted her Yeah, and his response He was so that was the other thing is the combination of being really funny really witty and then so brave and courageous But also being extremely humble, you know, he did he did that thing I love where he gave the what they call the Indian nod He's talking to her and then ate the food and even though he says to his wife in his flashback scene He says, you know, I don't like sweets, but he complimented her on it. It's it's sweet as if he really liked it It was just it was sweet and again before we ended this Probably one of the more emotional things for me that I loved was when I don't know his name He's the soldier who his buddy's dying and they run say get something to stop the bleeding and they're taking too long And he removes his turban to put it on it and that Frickin main of hair. Yeah, but he is epic and then they have a little joke. Yeah, about the end. Yeah Yeah, but then they died together. Yeah, beautiful. Oh, yeah, it was phenomenal Obviously, if you're still here, you probably have you seen the film, right? Please let us know you thought of it Yeah, we loved it. I can't imagine anybody not liking it. Yeah I mean, but they're not the like unless you don't like dialogue. Yeah, that's really it But that section the rest of the film I would think I would think yeah They got slow for me there, but the action and the whole ending is yeah frickin epic Yeah, so and especially if you don't know the story. I'm sure a lot of you know the story But yeah, yeah, this is one I would love for my kids to see so they could learn more about this history. So
