 Why does he look like Mark Hamill right there? From a distance. He looks a little like Mark Hamill. No, he probably just has pee on his face. If you haven't seen the movie, you wouldn't get it. Hey, welcome back to our YouTube reaction to The Idiots. I'm Corbin. I'm Rick, and you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter for more juicy content. And today I didn't use my hands. Use magical polis. But today I'm the one that just released here in America, at least. We saw the first showing. You probably saw it last night because they actually had, like, Thursday showings. I know, they don't do that here. Yeah, which sucks. They did it a couple of times. Yeah, I don't know why they stopped. But anyways, we saw Super 30, starting another thing, right? Roshan. That's how you say it, right? Righthic Roshan? That's it, pretty sure. Or is it righthic Roshan? Try to get some, though. I know you wish you were wearing his underwear. That's true. But yes, it just came out. It's read this on the upside for me real quick. Base on the life of... What does it say? Patra? Patna? I can't see if that's an R or an M or an N. Patna. Patna-based mathematician Arnan Kumar, who runs the famed Super 30 program for IIT. Aspirants in Patna. And it's directed by Vikas Bal. Yes, nice. Who did Queen. That's the only one I recognize. Me too. But I'm sure he's... And there is an introduction to the world of what's the actress's name, who played his... Oh, there's a girlfriend in there. We're not going to do any spoilers yet, but there's a girlfriend. So the way this one's obviously going to work, any new films that we do that just come out, we do a small non-spoiler review, correct? And then we'll go into more spoilers. That way, if you haven't seen it, you can stop after the non-spoilers section, yeah. And then you can come back later and watch the spoilers section. It's like two reviews in one. Yes. But this was a very interesting film because, one, learning about this amazing person, which... Fancy that. We didn't know about this. Obama knew about it. Weird how we don't know anything about India in America. Yeah, Obama, like, knighted him basically. Yeah, if he could knight. Obama could knight. If he could knight whoever. He could knight whoever he wants. It's true. You just have to do this and you're knighted. Yeah, it's true. But yes, that's why I really kind of enjoyed the film. I know, obviously, other parts as well, but because of the story that I didn't know. It was a story that you're familiar with, of course, because it's about a teacher. And obviously, any kind of teacher that's going against the grain, doing my kind of teacher, dead poet society. Now, obviously, nothing like that. But it is what the teacher is going against the system. Yes. So that was phenomenal. If you didn't know, we're not a gay couple. He was my teacher anymore. Well, he was a theater teacher. So like, I taught other subjects. He just didn't have me for the subjects. He who, she who shall not be named had those. I probably just give subjects. Oh, Rick's teaching theater. He's teaching world history. You can't go to that one. You don't want to. Or rhetoric. World views. That's a dumb class. World views. That's great. Carnivist taught that class. But yes, what were your initial thoughts? I have a total mix of emotions about it. It's a weird movie for me. Overall, I don't know if I give it a B minus or a C plus in terms of its score. Score. Because, yeah, my overall grade of the film because the story is an A plus. I mean, the story of this guy is something that everybody should know about and it's still going on. Yeah. What he does. I mean, this is a guy. He's an amazing man. Deep, deep character and integrity. And this, I mean, he's just top notch guy who the little that we know about him is still offering this to kids that can't afford it. Yeah. And his ratio of success is ridiculous. Like out of 450 students, 391 have gotten into IIT. That's insane. Yeah, it's insane. And that was true. All 30 got in every single one of them. Yeah. I mean, and it's hard to get in there. So what that for me was the top thing for me is this guy's story. But here's one of my biggest problems. What? And it's a mixed bag for me. This is so weird. I think Rithik is horribly miscast and I also think it's some of the best work I've seen him do. Okay. I understand. You just have, I really, because yeah, I would agree this is the best performance even though we have used to. Oh, I know. But remember, we've noticed differences. Yeah, because we had seen Gershnach, right? And then I saw the trailer. Right. And you could see the growth. And he, by far, from what we've seen, the little that we've seen. And Debra, yes. This is my favorite performance of his. I think he did a phenomenal job. I actually turned to him and I was like, that doesn't even really look like him. Doesn't. Which is great. But he doesn't look anything like that guy. Yeah. At all. Nothing. Like if I was casting the film, I would never even think that Rithik should play him ever. Yeah. It would be like having Liam Neeson play something that's supposed to be for Danny DeVito. I mean, that's a great stretch. But you knew that after you looked up the guy. Correct. But that's for me. You're doing a true story. It's like, come on. Give me, give me somebody that's going to... I understand. You know what I mean? If you knew about it, you know, but since it didn't take me out, it didn't bother me as much. That's the same. It didn't because I thought Rithik did a great job. I thought he did a phenomenal job. I thought actually the entire cast. Yeah. Cast was great. Really, really, really wet. Cast was great. There was like not really a weak link. No. Usually there is. There's usually at least a couple. Yeah. Even like his, well, we haven't, we try not to spoil anything right now. Yeah. But without giving any spoilers away, his parents loved his parents. They were fantastic. Yeah. I love that whole relationship. Absolutely. The dynamic, the little humor they threw in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but it is still for me, it's weird because it is probably what I think is his best, most natural, smallest work. And still, I don't think this should have been his role. And so, I can't remember a time that that happened. I don't know that I would dock it down to a sea for that though. That's, it seems a little... No, there's another reason I have for that. We'll get into that during the spoilers. Gotcha. So, and I think I'd give it a B minus. I don't think I'll be that much. I'm more on the B, B minus. Yeah, I'm gonna be, I would probably land on B minus. And there's multiple reasons for it, but I would definitely say go see this film. Yeah. It's worth seeing. Especially if you don't know the story. It's not as bad as Rotten Tomatoes is giving it. What does that say right now? 33. Well, also they don't put a lot of their stuff on Rotten Tomatoes. That's true. So there's like three reviews. There's like three reviews. And so, yeah, it's not at a, it's not a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. Most of the reviews I've seen of this stuff on Twitter are giving in pretty good reviews. It's worth seeing. It's definitely worth seeing. Especially if you don't know it. Yeah. Because I love learning. I would love to see a documentary about this guy. So if you know it. And this is, we'll get into this in a second. Yeah. The spoiler section. I have two aspects of this that are why I would put it in the B minus range versus a solid A. So, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I would definitely say go see this film. Overall, I really enjoyed it. There was just minor issues that, there was, there was no glaring. Like with Devdas. Love the film. And there was some glaring acting stuff for me. And so there's nothing like that in this. You know how I feel about Devdas. So it remains to be seen if somebody knew this story and how they would perceive it. Yeah. Because that's one of the whole most enjoying parts of this film is learning. Yes. That's the thing about this guy. This guy's story is needs to, people need to know about this guy. Yeah. And this, and what Super 30 is. And I'm guessing most Indians know about this guy. I can guarantee that. But, and outside of that. People like Barack Obama who pay more attention to the world and smells like this. He also has people that tell him. That's true. That's the one too. Yeah. But that's the thing is he surrounds himself with good people. Yeah. Because he's, anyway. But definitely go see the film. If you haven't seen it, leave now. Because here on the spoiler. Everyone dies. Spoiler alert. That's the spoiler duck. Oh yeah? Yeah. What's his name? Kunu. Yeah. I want to talk about Rithik a little more. Yeah, I did really enjoy his performance a ton. I don't, like you can tell me if that, that messed y'all up with him not looking like the actual guy. Because I think the actual guy was a little heavier. Yeah. But he is. But we knew that the minute we saw the trailer. So we've had weeks to accept the fact that he doesn't look like the guy. Yeah. Like I said, it didn't, since I didn't know the guy. Yeah. It didn't bother me. But I could see like if somebody really knew this person and there's like, you're casting the most gorgeous man in the world. Right. As this guy. Which says a lot about Rithik. He knows he's a good looking man. You gotta know that Rithik. I mean, come on. And also since you're watching. Yeah. You're amazing. And it was true. Funny. And he likes your other one. It was funny to see you try the dance bed. That was fantastic. Yeah. We turned to each other. It was like, that was pretty funny to watch with Rithik. Trying his best to dance. Trying not to dance in rhythm. Yeah. Yeah. Like, okay. But I actually. That's a good problem to have. It's so, this is a hard one for me because being, you know, miscast. From a business standpoint, it's never a bad decision to have Rithik in a movie. Mm-hmm. Ever. From a business standpoint. Yeah. And the fact that he would want to do this, from me, bespeaks, using that word, bespeaks about the guy's heart as an artist. Yeah. And his desire to tell stories and his desire to want to. I'm wondering. Change. And become a shapeshifter kind of actor. I'm wondering if this role scared him. I hopes I couldn't. It had to. I was thinking it would because, like I said, brilliant performance. But like, since he, he didn't have anything to fall back on in case it failed. This could have only failed. Yeah. If he succeeds fantastically with this, everybody's like, okay, good. Thanks for not screwing it up. Mm-hmm. Versus how much could go wrong. If like something goes wrong, he has like, he's gonna have some great dance numbers. Right. He did not have one dance number in this. Nope. And he doesn't get to bank on this. And it's hard to make him not look attractive. Yeah. He still looks, I mean, you look at his eyes and you're like, eh. But he, he, they did a very good job. And he did a good job of not playing into the fact that he's, because he can't be. Because no offense to the man, that that man looks nothing like Rithik Rosh. He looks very much like your average guy. And yeah, he had nothing of that to fall back on. And I feel very badly because if he got heat for, because as we know and we have learned, there's the big thing in regarding to, if you have darker skin versus lighter skin and what that means in society. And people with darker skin, skin literally trying to make their skin lighter. For me, and I think you feel the same way, he's an actor wanting to portray a person. Who happens to have darker skin than he does. So he's trying to be integrous to the portrayal of somebody he's nothing like. What is he supposed to do? He, he's. And I don't know the dynamics there in, in, in India. So I can't speak to it. Like if, outside of, if you're doing a comedic role, like Robert Downey Jr. did in Tropic Thunder. Right. Like a white person, you can't darken your skin. And also that has, it's very different because it has centuries of racial undertones. 100%. And that is an over the top. Off the charts. Yeah. Characterization. And so I don't know if this is different in India. You can let us know. But I, I didn't, it didn't bother me. Not, it didn't bother me all as an actor. And I think he would know that. Yeah. And so. Me too. I'm not really. I also like the young lady who, forgive me because we're, she's brand new. I believe she's the one they said introducing at the beginning. Oh, there's, there's a ton. There's a ton. Yeah. There's a bunch we didn't know. No, there's a ton of new people. Oh, that must be the students. Yeah. But I think his girlfriend. Okay. Was brand new. She did really well. I think she did a great job. I like her a lot. Especially being opposite Rithik. Yeah. She didn't get upstaged. I thought she played well. I thought she was believable. I actually would have liked to have seen her some more. Yeah. It was very interesting dynamic. And I love how they did it. That, that was the conflict with the father. And she wanted to be with him. But then, so I love the whole thing and that they didn't end up together. But she still loved him. Yeah. And she helped him in the end. So I'd love also to know how much of these parts are cinematic. That's, that's what we're doing. And what do you have the parts for true? Here's part of my lull ring of the score. Mm-hmm. I have a hard time believing that those kids became a vigilante group that applied his mathematical lessons to their warfare. That one really just pissed me off. Yeah, yeah. I, I think they did it incorrectly. Because they did bother me a little bit too. Yeah. I was like, we've got a brilliant, personal, powerful story about a teacher who's trying to change the face of education in India. I didn't need an action sequence that reminded me of Planet of the Apes. And I think it's a true story that, that happened. That he got shot and they went and avenged him and protected him? Yeah. I don't think so. No, not. I think he may, I don't even know if he got shot. No, he, that guy who was speaking in the end? Yeah. Literally said it. He said they, the problem I had with it is that it went all home alone on us. That's the issue I had with that. Yeah. I think it actually, like, not, it was very cinematic the way it happened. Like the way it happened in the film. Yeah, it was more than cinematic. Yeah. I mean, they were trying to manipulate us emotionally. And I just, it went, I was like, really? Are we digressing? We got to put an action sequence in here and see this kid apply the mathematics. He learned about throwing the sap over his shoulder and now he can throw the guy into a wall. I would have preferred them all to just, because I, like I said, I believe that it happened. Like, like somebody attacked a hospital. And they might have defended him, but it didn't happen. It didn't happen like that. Like they might have just locked them in the cage and might have outsmarted them, but you don't have to. Something like that tells me none of that happened. That was, that was put in their force for action. You can let us know. Yeah, please let us know. But I believe, because I believe that speech at the end was probably a true speech. I don't know. So you can let us know. But if it, that's what the, the general sense I got was a speech. And so as you said, he actually used the stuff. I don't think they would put that in there if it didn't actually happen. Because one, he did get shot and he did get attacked multiple times. That's what it said in the end. Like it said, those are, that's true. And that, that's a real depiction of something that's great. It just didn't feel that way at all. It was almost like seeing dead poet society suddenly become. No, I agree that it was way too over dramatic. It would have been much more, I would have been much more impacted if they had just left it with, he got shot. And you're actually wondering, if you don't know the story, is he gonna die? And just, just them visiting him in the hospital. You know, now maybe that's not true and they're trying to depict what I guarantee they didn't apply the mathematics they learned in warfare and stood on the thing with sling shots doing that, that didn't happen. Guarantee that didn't happen. Oh no, I'm not saying that. But I think what happened was they actually did get attacked and they tried to defend themselves. It wasn't all cinematic like that. Right. That's the problem I had with that. I would like to know that. But that was, that for me was probably my biggest bone to pick with this was. Oh, I agree. I would have preferred it to stay in the realm of a real serious dramatic telling of this important story rather than go off into some summer blockbuster action sequence that, why are you doing that? I don't know. These kids are from the slums and they're trying to get at just, that's my biggest for the score. Yeah, but that was only at the end. So I can't, I can't dock it all the way to C. No, I'm B-ing. Yeah, I'm B-ing. I can't dock it all the way down there. I would have given it an A. Yeah, like if it would have stayed, I even enjoyed the little musical, what they made the musical number out of no. I thought that was really creative. Absolutely. You did. I thought that was creative. Good. Well, because like it was more like realistic of how somebody who does it. No, this is what you know what I'm gonna say. It was because of how creative like, the people like, like it was it, if it's not true, whatever. But like, somebody who doesn't know English, they know the word no. Right. And so they're gonna create a song using the words that they know. Yeah, but you're- And it's no, no, no, no. You're okay with them putting a song in the middle of a dramatic piece. Well, they were also performing a play and so it kind of worked. Look at this guy. But I would have actually preferred the other song. Question mark, even though I enjoyed it, I would have- Yeah, I didn't enjoy it as much as the no-no. I would have preferred them to kind of just leave it there. Yeah. But you know, it's an Indian film. Having some musical numbers in there is kind of- You kind of just have to have it now. I also loved, we talked about this at the beginning of this, the mom and dad and the way they depicted their relationship and the family relationship. Loved them. And the brother. Yeah. Very believable. Who looked like Nawazuddin's brother. Totally looked like Nawazuddin's brother. And there's two moments, back to Rithik, two moments, and we can talk about the direction and the score as well, but there were two moments that were directed this way of his reactions that I thought were beautiful for two reasons. And they're the same. The first one, when he hears his dad say he's been accepted into Cambridge and he's on top of the roof. Yeah. Right? Yeah, that was great. Then when he finds out, all 30 of them pass. That was great. Both of those reactions felt extremely unscripted, unplanned. Even I was a little surprised that where's he going with this reaction. I felt like that was, and the director just kept us on that. Yeah, I love it. And I don't know if Rithik knew how long they were going to be there, but it felt like the director was saying to his, you know, his DP going, stay, stay, just keep it going. And Rithik just like, we're going to stay on this much, much longer than you expect with it because I want to see you keep going, keep going. I love it. I thought, I thought Rithik, like I said, my his best performance of the little we've done, the little we've seen, but even in the trailers that I can tell, like this seems like he's really grown as an actor and wanted to very much flex his acting muscles a little bit. Very much. After the two year hiatus that he took basically. Yeah. And the direction was the kind of direction I like to see in a movie that's telling an important story where the director didn't get him away, which is very hard for a director to do. I really felt like the direction didn't outside of that last sequence. That, that, that's needed. That should have ended on the, that should have left on the editing room floor and the screenwriter shouldn't have put it in. Yeah. But the third, like throughout the most of the film, I thought he did this guy. The director. Vikas Bal. Yes. Vikas Bal. Yeah. I thought he did a very sound job. Yeah. Solid job. I really enjoyed it. It was like, especially for Mosa, like I was enjoying the film you put little funny parts in there. You really cared for these characters. Very much. Yeah, cared for the kids. His whole family. Believe the kids. The kids. Yep. I thought that it was great that they brought in that other element of the rich kids. He was like, why aren't we teaching? It's not my fault I was born rich. Yeah. He said, did you eat today? Yeah. And the bat, the main antagonists could have, they could have easily gone over the edge. Yeah. Way to. They were all very real. Yeah. I love the reporter. They could have been way too over the top. They were. I love the reporter guy. Yeah. Little part. Uh-huh. I thought he did a phenomenal job. Did a great job. Everybody in the cast did a great job. One of the best casts, like if this was like a sag, they could get a nod at the end of the year for a sag on this ensemble. For an ensemble. Yeah, depending on how many people were in the running, it would be in the conversation. For sure. 100% conversation. But yeah, in the score, do you have anything in the score? The score was, I thought just like the direction. I thought the score did a really nice job. There weren't moments, and this doesn't bother me. There are some moments where like when I was watching there will be blood. There were moments in the score where I'm just, and like in their interstellar, which some people don't like that score, I love that score, where I'm just listening to the score while I'm watching the film going freaking A, nominate this for an Oscar. This score is unbelievable. This was the kind of score that I have an equal level of appreciation for and maybe even more where it just made me feel what I should feel. That's really what it's supposed to do. Yeah, it's just supposed to make you feel what the director wants you to feel. You're not supposed to notice it. I'm not supposed to notice it. Yeah. Except in a few areas. If you really import things and themes that you want to see revisited. I thought the score was solid. Like set design. If it's done well, you're not supposed to notice it. Well, and another thing we could give a shout out to here, no flaws at all in Rithik's makeup and hair. No, I actually thought that was a really good after he, after he fell down on the bike and was picking up his money and then back in it. The next scene, he still had a little fuzz in his hair. Yeah, continuity. Yeah, but even just the makeup to maintain the tone of his skin and match it to, he had to look like a blend of the mom and the dad, which he did. It didn't look. It could have been really bad if the makeup was bad and it looked like, oh, that's clearly a lighter skinned guy wearing dark. That would have been awful. He looked like that was his natural skin tone. Great job by the makeup. Yeah, and here. 100%, 100% go see this film. Yeah, it's a good movie. Yeah, let us know what you thought about it down in the comments below. If you haven't seen it, I'm sorry. We spoiled the entire thing for you. Yeah, why did you stare? What's the matter with it? What, are you a stupid? Well, they follow the channel, so.
