 So, I've seen people trying to insult us, calling us Alibot fanboys. I don't care. What? I wear that badge with honor! Welcome back to our stupid reaction, idiots. I am Corbin, and this is Richard, also known as an Alibot fanboy. That's true. Uh, please follow us on Instagram! Juicy content! It's so juicy. Today, we are reviewing... Razzie! Razzie, Razzie One, Razzie, Razzie Two. Uganda, Uganda! Um, they... They are... It's hot in here, by the way. That's why I've been drinking a lot of water in these videos as of late. This is our... It's uh... Hot. This is our first experience with Alia as the lead. This is our second Alia film. We watch a lot of trailers, is this really only our second Alia film? That's really strange. That's strange. Obviously gully boy. Wow. Geez. Anyways, but if we were fans before, we're forgetting everything. We're sure as hell fans now. That's what I'm talking about. Um, obviously this is a spoiler review. Yeah, go watch the movie if you haven't seen it already, Moron. Let's go. Huh? A Kashmiri woman who raised a marrying Pakistani army officer in order to spy on Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. Yes. I turned 109 in 1971. I've been doing the whole review this way. Um, but, uh, obviously it stars Ali Abad and Vicky Khrushal. Khrushal? Khrushal. Yeah, I think it's Vicky Khrushal. Obviously we love him from, uh, Uri, who he just, I heard, really got hurt. Oh yeah, that's what he said. Yeah. Speedy recovery to you. Make sure he's okay, yeah. But just in his cheese, man. I really hope he's okay. But yes, we've seen him in a lot of, uh, trades as well. He's great. Um, but the, didn't we see him in a, uh, trade with Nawazan? We did, and we talked about how thin he looked compared to what he does. No, because he does. Robin 2.0. Yes, yes. Job, Gurman! Robin 2.0. Yeah. Um, but yes, this film, um, true story. True story. Yep. Not gonna get into all the stuff that actually happened, because whenever we do historical stuff, people will be like, propaganda, propaganda. Quit. We're judging this stuff with film. The artistic merit. This is all we're doing here. And like, your personal views on the film aside, we're only judging this on a film. Right. Um, whether it's a true reenactment of the historical, we didn't even know this story existed in history, so we have nothing to compare it to. So yes, but just let you know that off the top. Yeah. But, um, obviously this, this film, um, intense. Yeah. And it really let Alia shine, I mean, obviously she shines all the time. She does. But it gave her a very different performance from what we saw. Yeah. And what you've seen as I think is more her natural, I think Gully Boy is more her natural. I agree. Um, person. The spunky. Yeah. Yeah. Um, fierce. Yep. Uh, spunky, quirky, fierce. Yeah. Independent woman. Right. Um, but she, uh, this, it was almost, it was much, much smaller, especially in the beginning. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I don't even almost recognize her. Yeah. Uh, Alia, for, because she, it was a very small, obviously started off, her father obviously had cancer. And then that was a beautiful scene. Yeah. That whole first scene when she's finding out in the way the mom is responding and the dad is responding and her, I believed every moment of that. I felt like I was sitting in the living room in that family. Yeah. That was a heartbreaking scene. That was a sad scene. Yeah. She was beautiful. Beautiful work. Envision, like what that would be like in real life. Right. Like, I had to do that. And I was like, what? That's a tough scene. What? And for the father, for the mother. Yeah. Yeah. All of them did. The mother in this was really, really, she was really small part of the film. Oh, yeah. She was beautiful. She was so good. Everybody in this. There's so many supporting people in this from everybody living in the household in Pakistan. And the guy who's really skeptical of her right off the bat. Yeah. He's really good. Really good. Yeah. A lot of, he had good screen presence too. Sure did. But the whole family, the dad. When it got to the part where obviously they were in the film, because the training part was really cool. Fun to watch or do that. Fun to watch. But I was like, oh, I guess it's going to be a regular spy kind of thing. But then it really picked up when she got to the house and your heart was almost racing the whole time. Anytime she had to do a little covert mission and she was going to get caught. Yeah. And all that kind of stuff. And then, but obviously when she got caught by the servant, it really picked up. And I was like, well, what's she going to do? Right? She's chasing him. Yeah. She's chasing him. And I was like, are you going to do something? Are you going to do roundhouse care? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? She got in the corner of the car because she's going to run over. And then she hit him. And I was like, oh, you got to finish him off. And she did. Yep. Yep. And I loved her moment. When she got back and she got in the shower, I believed a hundred percent. There was this 21 year old girl who just for the first time in her life murdered somebody that she knows didn't do anything. It's a hard time when you murder somebody for the first time. That's true. Remember our first? Yeah. It was really rough. It was really tough. Anyway, that moment because she, I loved the destroying of the stereotypes of this. The first stereotype that's destroyed, and this really touched Alexis because she watched it with me, was the first night she's there. And he sits down on the bed. And you realize, well, this is a really good guy. Yeah. Vicki did amazing in this. Great job. And he was very understated. Very understated. He never performed. No. He didn't need to shine. And because of that, he did. Yes. And when he goes to leave, he says, it's going to take time. We need to learn to trust each other. It's like, oh, yeah. Alexis literally went, oh, yeah. Which is one of the brilliant parts of this film. Yes. And obviously, because this film was, it was obviously a dedication to all the people that have died. That are never talked about. Never talked about. And that goes for any army, but this was obviously the Indian army. Right. The people that go undercover, but then you never know their name. You know, speaking of that, you know, because there's the moment toward the end where the dad and the son, after she has revealed who she is and the son knows which we could talk about that scene. We should. Where the dad says to him or where he says to the dad, she was just doing what we would do. I think that's a pretty bold statement and it may correct me if I'm wrong. There may have been some Indians that were not happy with that presentation of Pakistan. Because at that point, those are two Pakistani guys saying, she's doing what we do, dying for our country. And I thought that was a powerful moment. Yeah, there's a bunch of, especially obviously at the end, a bunch of powerful moments like that when they, because it kind of, it was basically any soldier of basically any country that is, they kind of understand that fact. It's just, these are people that are serving, unless they're obviously terrorists. Right. They're just complete rights of human beings, but they're not even human beings. Any people that are in an army, regardless of how you stand on that person, they serve their country. Yes. And that's the thing that's most important. It's a part of combat. It's the level of, I respect you, we disagree and I'll kill you, but I respect the fact that you're a warrior. Yeah. And we're fighting for similar kinds of causes. Yes. In terms of what we believe in. Yes. And I respect that. Because I think a good film always does that. It makes you like, that's true. Yeah. Even though you're, those people are the bad guys. Yeah, like Clint Eastwood's films, did you see the two films Clint Eastwood did about World War II? Which ones? The Flags of Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers. Flags of Our Fathers, I tell you. Yeah, it's the same story. It's the same battle from World War II. Flags of Our Fathers is told from the American standpoint. And then Iwo Jima is told from the Japanese standpoint of the exact same fight. That's brilliant. It is brilliant. And he did them one year after the other. That's brilliant. And I love that. Love that. And this did that in, in, I thought in a lot of ways. Yeah. Right from the get go, giving you that sense of, wow, these, she's, I think she was shocked to find out. And I think that's what made the scene in The Showers so powerful, is she killed a guy that really didn't do anything wrong. No. He just, he happened to find her spying on the family he loves. Yep. What would she have done? Yeah, she found out all these people were genuine. Nice people. Good people. Right. And which is a great thing to have in a film too, because obviously humans are very complex. Yep. Hamlet baby. Yes. Moral complexities. No easy answers. I thought Vicki and I thought everybody shined in this. Everybody did. The dad shined in it. Oh yeah. Like in the funeral scene when he started to break down and then he held them up. Yeah. For the military funeral. Beautiful work. But the end of this film was just, well let's talk about two things. Let's talk about her moment. Let's talk about his realization, Vicki's realization. Oh yeah. That it was her. And he comes out of the bathroom and she's standing there with the gun. Oh yeah. And he says to her, was any of it real? Oh my goodness. Yeah. That is an incredible moment. Yeah, that was a great scene. And I was wondering what they were going to do and then they brought the kid in. Yeah. And they were both like, I'm brilliant. Yeah, that scene was absolutely so brilliant. Because you don't know who to like. Yeah. If he kills her, you understand. If she kills him, you understand. But I'm rooting for her. Yeah. I am rooting for her. But I feel, and then let's talk about the end. Yeah. The fact that obviously we didn't know wasn't her. I thought she was gone. Yeah. And I loved it. Yeah. Of course you did. I was like, everybody should have died. I was like, what? But when Vicky came out and they kind of got face to face and then the guy who's been a mentor, he was like, let's go play B. Oh, what's playing B? Are they going to save her? And then they just threw the net. Well, I think they tranked her. They tranked her so she doesn't run away. And. No, I think so she wouldn't feel it. Maybe that. I think it was like a kindness trank. Kindness trank? Yeah. So you don't run and you're going to be sure you're going to die. No, I think it was like a, this is a favor. Knock you out. Gotcha. It was a Jon Snow moment while we're being burned to death. Even though you wouldn't really feel. Nah. Kind of die almost. If it was strapped on you, you don't feel that. But that was a messy blow up out there. But yeah, it just throws it in there and everybody's, I remember going, oh, dang. Yeah. Which is incredibly insane. Obviously. So Vicki dies and he thought Alia dies. But then when they go back and explain it and I'm like, they haven't shown her face yet. Yeah. And so I was like, hmm. And then I was like, I hope this is not a cheesy kind of thing. But then I'm guessing it actually happened. Right. That's what they said. Right. But the, you figure out what happened. And then you're almost heartbroken because the same way Alia is that which was a great performance. She is a good crier. Yep. That's not an easy thing to do. No. And she had a lot of moments she had to break down in this. Which is why she won. She won India's basically best actress role. Yeah. She did deservedly so. Incredibly brilliant. But the whole scene with him explaining it, she was like, you gave the order to kill me. Right. You literally gave the order to kill me. She had the two things. Why did he have to die? Yeah. And you bastard. Yeah. You gave the order to kill me. And in the meantime, even though it wasn't me, you killed an innocent person. Right. Who was helping me. Right. Now, did you see the very end thing? I didn't see that coming because I tend to be stupid and ignorant. Did you see her being pregnant? Oh, no, I didn't. Oh, good. Yeah. I didn't either. No. I thought that was an incredible, I hope that's part of the story. I hope that's true. Yeah. Because I thought that was extraordinary. Yeah, that was. Yeah. Another moral conundrum of. Yeah. That just was great. Yeah. I love films that do that to where you don't exactly, I mean, know what to think. Yeah. And this was looking at the director who we haven't talked about just yet. First of all, anytime we can celebrate a woman director, that makes us happy because there aren't enough woman directors in the world, especially here in the United States. And this was one of those films where the director didn't get in the way or didn't do anything but tell the story and compliment the story. I just felt like everything was believable. The pace of the film, the runtime was 138. It felt like it was 90 minutes. Yeah. It went by real fast. Real fast. Real fast. But yeah, Alia, obviously she was all the way up there for us, but she. Right. I mean, I can watch her just sit and drink a cup of tea. Yeah. So. Seriously. Frick and brilliant. Yeah. And yeah, absolutely. I've given four and a half stars. Yeah. I love this film. This is so good. This is up there for me. I think a lot of the friends that I have here, there's certain films that I wouldn't want them to see first. Like, I wouldn't want them to see Bapu Bali first. They wouldn't get it. I wouldn't want them to see KFG. They wouldn't get that. Even Padma Vaat as good as that is, and Bajoramastani, or pastrami as we call it. The ones I think they'll resonate with are the ones that are like Gully Boy, Pink, Badla, and this one. It really feels so much like what they're accustomed to that I think would be a big shock to the system for them to go, wow, India makes films like this. Yeah. Comparable to what we see here with political espionage and crime dramas. Yeah. This is a great film. Absolutely brilliant. Great film. So we should watch Next and review. If it's not only a film, great. We're going to watch it.
