 Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, dango. Welcome back to our Student Reactions Idiots. I'm Corbin, as with me as always is this. Rick Sigl. Dungal. Dungal! Please follow us on Instagram! So today we will be reacting. Nope, I do it every time. You do because we react so much what we're doing. The film, Dungal. Dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle, dungle. Then it's in my playlist now. So from that guy who seems to not be able to make a bad movie. Yeah. So, on our, on our trek to watch every AmeriCon film ever made. We have now watched Dungle. And this will be a spoiler review because it's been out. That's all we want to do. So if you haven't seen it, sorry, go away, go watch it, come back. There you go. If you haven't seen it, why not? You've been warned. So, and I've just realized this, when we come here to do the reactions, neither one of us have talked to each other about what we thought about the film. So we're getting each other's perspective at the same time you are. So take a bit of information. So dungle, dungle. The film about a true story, a true story about a father and who was a very promising star wrestler in India who never, never got to do what he actually wanted to do and follow his dreams. Correct. Because he had to provide. Right. And didn't get the support that he was hoping he'd get. Right. Obviously it was pushed onto him wanting to have a son and carry on his legacy. And then so the film, obviously AmeriCon, the thing I love about him is that every film he does, it seems like he has a message. Yeah. A big, string, multiple messages. Right. Throughout, but strong messages. And so this one deeply touched me and all that kind of stuff. So what did you think of the film? Yeah, I just absolutely loved it. I'm just going to go on and on and on about what's great about the movie. Yeah. AmeriCon seemed to hold his skin differently. He's a shape shifter. Kind of similar to Daniel D. Lewis. He's a shape shifter. He is very quickly becoming one of my favorite actors, period. Yeah. Yeah. He's fantastic. Didn't quite look like AmeriCon to me. No. In fact, when I watched the film, I remember when we watched the trailer and did a reaction of the trailer. Yeah. And as I'm watching the movie, I literally, in my chair, I sat back and I went, you freak. I didn't even realize till this moment that was you. Yeah. And when we did the whole transformation reaction thing. Yeah, I'll link that right here. Boom. The guy is just brilliant. Yeah. Just brilliant. He didn't have a false moment. And no sign of PK. No. No sign of Rancho. No sign of. Just. And to transform himself physically like that. Yeah. I thought it was such a brilliant film director-wise. Yes. Because he kind of let the actors do a lot of the work. Yes. And a lot of directors kind of, like, for people to know that this is their medium. Yeah. Well, especially since- He kind of almost sat back and kind of let the story- Come on. Do what it did. That was one of the things I was most impressed by. I was consistently watching and thinking, what a brilliant director who is so unselfish. Mm-hmm. Letting this thing, and as well as the composer. Oh, yeah. I would love to know how they talk together. Because the score was fantastic, but the score was so unobtrusive. Yeah. And at points where most people would push the score, like during the fight sequences. Yeah. They held that back. Yeah. And then used it when it was just brilliant directing and composition. And this is coming from two people who, you've never wrestled, right? No. You've never really watched wrestling, either. Well, no. My friend in high school, Jim, he did wrestling, and I know what he went through doing wrestling and how freaking brutal it is. And I always watch wrestling when the Olympics come up. But that's it. I'm always concerned when I see movies about wrestling. Yeah. It's almost like a movie about running. Right. I mean, it's an exciting sport, but it's not as exciting as some other ones. Okay, it could be very boring, or they could heighten it and make it seem more drastic than it is. Yeah. It's its own thing. I'll tell you what. I'm interested. I would love to watch him wrestling now. Yes. I became a fan of it. The Fox Catcher is the last movie we watched about wrestling. And the wrestling footage and the wrestling training in this was way more interesting for me. Casting Noah Spurs is on Fox Catcher. But the level of athleticism of everybody, they were 100% every single person who had to go and wrestle was 100% believable. I felt like I was watching real matches. Yeah. It was fantastic. It was quite interesting. And then obviously going to the best part of the film is the message about, you know, one, following your dreams, but two, not conforming to what the world or people around you want you to be. Correct. If you're a girl, you're worth so much more than just cooking, cleaning. Making babies. Making babies. Right. You have your own life. You have your own dreams and follow that. Right. And, you know, this father, one of the best part of the film was the wedding scene. Yes. When you're like, what's happening? You're like, oh, they're having a good time. They're going to get in trouble. This guy's going to come in, bust their balls and all that kind of stuff. But then the scene after when she's with the bride. With the bride. One of the best. How was the acting in that? With those kids. Because you weren't expecting it. No. And that girl who made that little scene, man. And hats off to Amir Khan because he's the producer. So every single thing that was going on, I'm sure he exact produced this thing. He didn't just pay for this. I bet he was there and clearly every single. I was blown away by that scene. Yeah, that scene was. Any tears for you? No. Got it. I got it. I mean, when I say tears, I didn't mean I didn't feel emotional. Of course. I know that. Of course. I just don't express myself through crying. Yeah. I bawled openly twice. I figured you would. Of course. Because obviously this is a film about. Dad and his daughters. And you have two daughters. And yes, I'm sure there was multiple times when it obviously this guy in that scene, the bride scene when she was like, your dad at least cares about you. And he sees you as more than just property. And that was very sweet. Not that I think all of his fathering was. Right. Good. Right. And it does touch on the, it does touch on how many people make the mistake of trying to force their dream on their kid. Yeah. So yeah, there's that balance in there. Yeah. He was a good father in some aspect. Hey. The dogs. Dogs are fighting. Yeah. There was some good aspects in his teaching is like, you can, I want you to have more of a life. I want you to be able to pick your husband. I want you to be all this kind of stuff. But then at the end, even though it was a sweet moment, the first time he had ever said he's proud of them. I know. But they'd been waiting for their whole lives. I was like, I mean, yeah, you got them to where they needed to go. But you should really tell your kids you're proud of them before they win the gold for the first time in the history of your country. They're great in touching film. Yeah. But no, I agree. But yeah, it was the message was a phenomenon. These two actors. Oh man. The girls. Amazing. Now the girls were so good. Did the girls that played them younger were different girls, right? I couldn't tell. That's how freaking great it was. I'm assuming it was because they only paused production for five months for a year. Right. And that's way more than that. Yeah, that's several years. So the casting was absolutely beautiful. Yeah. I was like, are they the same girls? Yeah. I thought so too. And I was like, no, there's... And we don't have the names up here, but the lady who plays his wife and the mom. Yeah, she did great. I had... There was one moment where she was on screen and did something. And I spoke to her as if she was in the room and said, you are beautiful. The work that she did in her eyes. It was all so small. Just gorgeous work. It was just in support of everybody else. Yes. But she did it and that was her job and she did it perfectly. Perfectly. And everybody was believable. Yeah. In every role. No. Except one? There was... And it was a small part. It was at the end when the Australian people... Yeah. And she was on... She was talking to the media. And she was like, I'm glad she's here. I'm happy for her. But I beat her and all this kind of... Yeah, it was a little... It was a little drogo from Rocky Four. I didn't believe them in that. That was the only time in the film. But I will say that... And I was like, this is one either terrible writing, terrible acting, or I don't know what it is, because everything else was real. Right. And I was like, maybe that was a real line, but that did not seem like a real delivery of it. It seemed like I want to be this heightened villain kind of thing. And that's the only issue. I also... I mean, I'm used to it now. But I didn't love the musical number in the middle. You know I did. But whatever. Yeah. I'm used to it. Now, when that girl... Something interesting happened to me in many places throughout the film. When the Australian girl mockingly said namaste, I got way more offended than it was six weeks ago. Did that happen to you? No. Yeah, it did to me. I think it's because her acting was bad. Yeah, you were disconnected. For me, when she did that, I was like, oh no, you didn't. And I realized, oh wow, I took that way more personally than I would have six weeks ago. And I know there's parts of this that are loosely based. Did the dad truly get locked in a closet? Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I was wondering how much the contention of the coach... Yeah, was the coach really that big of a... Yeah. Yeah. If there was that much contention between them two? Yeah. I'm assuming it was because they had that school part of it that... I would imagine had to get involved and... Yeah, I'm sure his technique differed from their technique. And there was jealousy there. I can't imagine that wasn't there. Yeah. But I want to know, was the dad truly locked in the door and didn't get to see her fight? And I also want to know, did it really come down to a four point spread that she had to do a five point throw over to win with 13 seconds or whatever it was on the clock? Yeah. That Hollywood eyes. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. If that's real, that's freaking epic. That's epic. That is epic. The whole story anyway was just beautiful, man. Yeah, I loved it. I thought Amir Khan did, like I said, he was amazing. Amazing. This is my... How small. You know? Yeah. After three idiots... He didn't talk a lot. Yeah. After three idiots in PK where he's so over the top. And how about this scene? Oh, at the school? No. The scene for me... Because man, he just, he's so true emotionally. Yeah, he is. When he's standing in front, and I'll get emotional doing it because of my daughters and everything else, he's standing in front of the guys and they're going to kick him out. Yeah. And he for the first time says, I'm a crazy father. No, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. That's that. Yeah. I did this, I did that, and then he's pleased. Yeah. I just, he had me. Yeah. Totally had me. Love him. Yeah, he's, I love Amir Khan. I think he's a brilliant, brilliant actor. Brilliant actor. Kind of, I'm kind of pissed. He doesn't need to come here. I mean, why does he need to come here? But it's a shame that so many people, for everybody we know. Yeah. Doesn't have a freaking clue that this guy is even on the planet. Yeah. It's a shame. Yeah. So I give it an A plus. A plus. This is my view. Great. I mean, I didn't even notice the length of the film. It was about two hours 40. Yeah, I didn't get it. I didn't notice one time in this film. No. I think Yuri was that same way. I didn't notice. Yeah, but it was, it was shorter. Yeah, Yuri was a bit shorter than most of the films. Okay. But I agree with you. Yeah. This did not feel. Like almost three hours. No, not at all. And you were, you were in it the whole time. Yeah, totally in it. So, yeah. Right up there with all of the great sports films that I love that are from, from America here, like Hoosiers and remember the Titans and. I would love to talk to you. The natural. I would love to talk to some wrestling people to see how. Big time. But apparently they had a wrestling expert on set to make sure everything was authentic. Knowing, knowing what we're knowing about Amir Khan. It's very clear. The man's a perfectionist. So I'm sure every little spot was, you know, no excuses. It's got to be spot on. Yeah. So, well, thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. For that recommendation. Yeah, yeah. Love it. What else should we watch after this? Yeah, what do you want to see next?
