Watched RRR. I can't remember the last time I watched a three hour movie that had three hours' worth of movie in it. It ruled.

I was not expecting RRR to be that gory. Lot of cues taken from 300, John Woo and Mel Gibson's historical flicks

I'm no expert on Indian movies, but the vast majority of Indian action flicks I've seen are pretty dull. Check out John Abraham's filmography for example, or the mustachioed supercop genre like Singam (although this movie was pretty good, most of them aren't). What sets RRR apart is that it goes as full bore as the crazier historical/fantasy epics like Baahubali, but it's still set in kind of the real world. Or maybe I'm wrong, I'm definitely not an expert on these movies. One of the defining characteristics of Indian action-oriented cinema to me is that they don't give a gently caress how "realistic" the cgi looks, they just want things to look cool. This is an aspect that throws off a lot of people more accustomed to Hollywood's emphasis on realism, but if you get in the proper headspace you can really enjoy janky cgi because it allows the action to go bananas. dokmo fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jun 5, 2022 |

There some movies that go as hard on action as RRR, but do any dance as hard? like really those legs are dead by the end of that song/dance off. Brits never had a chance.

The Baahubali duology is interesting because you see Rajamouli feeling his way into the more graphicly violent approach of RRR as it goes on. It starts out in the very PG place that's the norm for indian historical adventure dramas, then each set piece gets progressively bloodier (and the the use of CGI gets more flamboyant).

RRR was loving amazing. Beat action blockbuster in years. I love how it takes the Mel Gibson historical fantasy and updates it with modern action sensibilities like the Zack Snyder style action scenes. The music is wonderful. While the water/fire imagery could easily be cliche it pulls it off perfectly. Just great.

I feel like the songs singing about what's going on in the film as it happens needs more of a nod too, it just added to how ridiculous everything was.

Is the Hindi version on Netflix noticeably worse than the original audio for someone who doesn't speak either language? Like does the dub sound unnatural etc?

Having grown up on a diet of kung fu and italian westerns I have been desensitized to the issue of bad dubbing, so I cannot comment on how well it was done in RRR, but I want to say that the vast majority of non-Hollywood action movies are dubbed in that they shoot the scenes without sound and loop the dialogue in later. I've noticed this is a little mental speedbump for viewers only accustomed to Hollywood movies, where most things are shot with sound (which is partly why Hollywood movies are a billion times more expensive to make).

I noticed it a few times at the beginning, but it wasn't a huge issue as the film moved on. It was particularly noticeable every time the actors were supposed to be singing, but that was obviously non-diegetic in an operatic fashion. I absolutely loved the wirework in the jailbreak scene, although I have read complaints that it is "unrealistic" (I chalk it all up to the British Raj being staggeringly incompetent at everything, something the movie reiterates time after time). I have to rewatch the scene again, but it felt like that set was practical and it was really noticeable compared to the obviously green-screened forest scenes afterwards (although I do appreciate the slightly comic book CG). The choreography of Raju vs ten-thousand protestors in the beginning was great. The dance scene was great. Great action movie; I really didn't think I had it in me to watch a three hour action movie, but it certainly satisfied.

I haven't watched the hindi dub but from what I know they dub over parts where characters speak English so you lose that aspect. Ram is bilingual so it helps shade him as someone who fits into English colonial society much more easily

RRR was a delight, I was cheering the screen more then any time recently except Everything Everywhere. Bizarre to read Naatu Naatu was filmed at Zelensky's Presidential Palace in Kyiv.

More superhero and thriller elements than action, but action heads should pay some attention to this sequel, which is going to be in some theaters in a couple of weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0FVwH2ExtM The first one didn't have a lot of action, but what it did have was very interestingly conceived and filmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzGRBNXpZvY

I always feel like Indian blockbuster cinema, especially south indian but really to some extent across the board, follows a philosophy of "if you paid for a movie ticket, you get every kind of movie". There gonna be fight scenes, dance scenes, romantic comedy, melodrama, historical commentary, you name it. Basebf555 posted:Pretty sure they didn't do that in this case. I remember at least a few times where he speaks English to the English officers. There's something weird going on with the scene where he convinces the governor to execute Bheem outside the city instead of in the prison, he keeps switching between english and hindi seemingly at random. other than that yeah he uses english when it makes sense for him to.

Maybe in the 60s but these days everyone uses sound. It's cheaper to hire a sound team to record sound on location than it is to bring back an actor for ADR (though all films do that to an extent), hire an ADR studio, etc.

Maybe it's just something that happens with Hindi speakers? Yea I'm pretty sure it's commonplace in countries where people are brought up to speak both the native language and also English. So kids speak English from a very early age and they're used to just mixing the two together because you can assume that anyone you're talking to is going to know both languages. It seems odd to Americans because so few of us actually know a second language and so you have to stick to English in conversation unless you really know somebody well.

What makes me lol about the above is that I don't want most films to be realistic, the Marvel films picking LIVE ACTION versions of comic books is a wild idea that kinda doesn't work for me because they seem to want to ground everything whilst also telling tales of ridiculous poo poo. I finally got round to watching End Game a few days after watching RRR and honestly nothing in it got anywhere near RRR in terms of action which is mad disappointing. You have all those incredible superheroes and the action is wank. There's like 2 cool moments in the entire film and they're both within a minute's worth of fight. RRR in comparison is like a loving highlight reel of rad action but it's 3 hours long. Insane. If anyone knows of any other Indian stuff or anything non-Hollywood that is doing anything half as cool as RRR then please let me know, I'm obviously missing out.
