Lagaan Movie Review

Lagaan Movie Review
   First of all, I did not know the meaning of Lagaan , but after seening the movie, I knew what is Lagaan mean.
 15 august we are watching Bollywood movie Lagaan . After watching the movie i give my review.Bollywood in the best movie is Lagaan. All actors are very good actors , but Amir khan's acting is very much like me. It is shown that people still believe in miracles inside the movie. Indianism has been shown inside the movie. 

 
   
     This movie is very unique oe than other patriotic movie. Director use Cricket as metaphor because cricket is a Britisher's game and India also very powerful in this game in 21st century.Cricket game has been used very well for sarcasm.
     Inside the movie, the Englishman calls the Indian person meant to eat but Indian person refuses to eat meat .Mostly People of India believe that eating meat is a very big crime. People believe that eating meat is a big sin . But according to my opinion it is not like that. Just like people have grown up it is different from the language of the people who speak it .If we have grown up from tea,bread then we will eat the same. There is no wrong in eating those people who have been meat them.

     Within this movie i liked the character of British Lady. She is very innocent in nature. She is teach the people of India playing cricket. The British Lady teaches people of India to play cricket and it is very helpful.

    This is archetypal story similar to other movie. There are many archetypal symbols like Temple, Myth, Love, Rain. We are able to  apply a lot of theories within this movie. As it is the theories .

Theory :- 
1) Post colonialism
2) Nationalism
3) Indianess
4) Patriarcy
5) Cricket as metaphor
6) Subaltern
7) Rural India
8) Teamwork and Leadership 

  Unity has been shown inside the movie. No need to cooperate with a loneliness alone. I saw that people seem to pray to God in small thing . The movie has been associated with many songs.Gori has also been shown jealousy on the British Lady.
               
    India Ranks second worldwide in farm output more than 80% of population live n the rural area. So here the director tried to show the real India through the village , their farm, everyday life, tension about rain for food grain and Britisher imposed the high taxes on farmers , they unable to pay because of a prolonged drought. Furthermore, We also see the family structure like joint family, gender role, culture and religious atmosphere all the thing show the real Rural India.

Analysis of poem :

              The poem is on the surface, about death and the parting of two souls. But the "parting of two souls" can also be interpreted as a physical distance taken between two people perhaps one is travelling away from their lover etc..
