01
Many Chinese audiences knew Amir Khan from "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", but in fact, Amir Hussein Khan was born on March 14, 1965 in a family of movies in Mumbai. When he was only 8 years old, he appeared in his uncle's "Reminiscences of the West" and became an eye-catching child star.
However, he did not step into the film world, but chose tennis. He has won the tennis men's singles championship in Maharashtra and played friendly matches with idol king Federer.
, when he was young, didn't think about entering the movie circle.
However, there is providence in the dark.
In 1988, Amir Khan, who gave up tennis, returned to the screen and starred in his true debut in "The Warm and Cold World". Amir on the
screen, handsome and sunny, holding a guitar, singing "Dad said I must be promising", making countless boys and girls scream.
This film known as the Indian version of "Romeo and Juliet" immediately won the filmfare best newcomer award for Amir Khan, and he officially opened his career as an actor.
After that, Amir Khan made a lot of "love supremacy" films, such as "Love Love Love", "Crazy for Love", "Love Story", "Love Is Better Than Golden", "True Love Is Invincible", etc. Wait.
At that time, Amir Khan was an out-and-out youth idol.
After the age of 30, Amir Khan's filming pace gradually slowed down, and he began to develop more character types. Although his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, he has higher and higher demands on himself, and he is more strict with the script and roles. Often only two or three works have been published in one or two years. There was a saying in
at the time that if you don't have enough passion for filmmaking, Amir is not the kind of actor you want to find. Compared with most resident stars, he has become a clear stream of Bollywood. The name
02
"Amir Khan" has almost established a very important impression of most people in Indian movies.
As a citizen of India, Amir Khan has always had a sense of responsibility to pay attention to society. Many of his works are close to and reflect on reality, questioning the stubborn diseases of this ancient land of India.
In 2002, the film he produced and starred in, "Once Upon a Time in India", Amir revealed the ugly face of colonial rule. The British colonizers and colonial system were sparingly condemned and spurned. Amir's first production attempt was widely recognized and won the Oscar nomination for best foreign language film that year.
He integrates the perception and understanding of society into the film, trying to encourage the audience to pay more attention to society and take responsibility through the language of the film.
In "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", he questioned the trial education; "The Colors of Bassati" attacked the political system at that time; "Stars on Earth" focused on the children's world and broke people's views on special groups bias.
"My God" exposes various religious contradictions in India. Religious cultures have conflicts of customs, cultural incompatibility, discrimination against women, and restraint of human nature. Questioning the nature of religion offended political groups in India. Some Hindus burned posters in public to boycott the film.
It is worth mentioning that Amir himself has been subjected to this kind of control. He fell in love with the neighbor’s girl, but because the two families had different beliefs, they were forbidden to communicate. In the end, Amir, whose love is supreme, did not hesitate to elope to resist this ruthless custom.
in the movie "Wrestling!" In "Dad" and "Mysterious Superstar", it directly refers to the discrimination and suppression of women in Indian society. Through the characters in the play, Amir told the audience: "Male and female are equal, and every girl should control her own destiny."
Outside of the movie world, he hosted and produced the documentary "The Truth Interview", pointing to India's most serious and fundamental Topics: frequent rapes, illegal abortions of girls, domestic violence, medicalInstitutional corruption, official corruption, police inaction, pesticide abuse, racial system...
They use scientific and rigorous research methods to conduct a large number of interviews, surveys, and statistics, and strive to objectively reflect social reality. Restore the truth to the maximum extent.
"On the one hand, India is thriving, and I am happy.
However, there are still many sad facts in society, but we ignore them.
Sometimes I think, my life is happy and complete, and the suffering of others is related to me. What's the matter? But there is indeed a relationship. A series of things connect you and me with everyone in society.
If Gandhi, Tilak and other sages are still alive, how can we face them? Our ancestors embrace Is the dream to build an India like it is now?"
This is what Amir Khan said in "The Truth Interview".
Some senior officials described him as a "venomous snake," and people marched in front of his house in protest. Movies are often blocked locally, and even I have faced personal safety threats.
and Amir Khan publicly expressed his attitude:
"My wife Kieran and I have never thought of leaving this country, and will never have such thoughts. Those who attacked me with filthy language because of my feelings make me very worried. You just proved my point. ''
He did not back down. After the episode of child abuse was broadcast, Amir was invited to the Indian Parliament to testify. Finally, the "Child Protection Act" was passed; the local government of India introduced measures to restrict illegal abortions...
An actor promotes the reform of the entire country by himself.
03
He used a fair lens to show the backwardness and poverty of his motherland, expose its bureaucratic corruption, criticize its sexism, and trace its dark violence.
may be because Amir's lonely behavior is too dazzling, and sometimes people will ignore his actor status and his professionalism.
There is no doubt that although he comes from a celebrity family and laid a good foundation for him, Amir's acquired efforts and attitude determine how far he can achieve and how far he can go.
Amir’s movies never disappoint, because he will treat the script and himself with a perfect harsh attitude.
shoot "Wrestle!" At the time of "Dad", the protagonist was 19, 29 and 55 years old. All three stages were played by the 52-year-old Amir.
For this, he had to spend a month to gain weight crazy. Frozen, he increased his weight to 194 kg and became a 55-year-old middle-aged fat uncle. Then after filming the middle-aged scenes, he spent another five months to lose weight frantically, and he returned to the muscular man who weighed 144 kg and body fat was 9.8%.
And, in the past six months, he has to learn wrestling and other sports skills desperately, trying to be a real wrestler and coach. When
filmed "The Phantom of the Cars 3", he spent a year and a half training his body to be like a gymnast, and spent several months learning tap dancing and circus performances. When
filmed "Unknown Death", he showed the audience perfect muscles. People were surprised but didn't know that all this was the result of his cruel self-discipline and high-intensity training.
You must know that with current technology, it is not difficult to create a character image through makeup and post-production. But Amir Khan rejected this approach and insisted on using a real body shape. Why don't
find a substitute and no props?
Amir said frankly: As an actor, that's not good!
is this kind of true and competitive mentality that allows Amir to accurately interpret every movie character.
is precisely this attitude of being demanding of oneself and setting an example for society.
In 2010, Amir Khan received the Lotus Medal, one of the highest honors of Indian citizens, for his outstanding artistic achievements.
"Time Magazine" selected Amir Khan as one of the top 100 influential figures in the world in 2013, but he was not included in the "artist" category, but was classified as a "pioneer".
The work he has done for his country seems to have surpassed the influence of his film career, or film has become a part of what he has done for Indian society.
"Time" magazine also made a special topic for Amir with "Indian Conscience": Can an actor change a country?
04
How can Amir Khan achieve today's brilliance and achievements?
is obviously not a problem that can be explained clearly in a few words. But his strong sense of social responsibility is perhaps the most important factor.
An actor should not only have commercial value. Blindly using the influence given by fans and society to make a fortune will not bring any benefit.
Amir Khan is an actor, not just an actor. He uses his own practical actions to help and influence his compatriots and change his country.
Amir Khan loves his motherland very much, because of love, so he criticizes, he said:
"Criticizing ourselves and our country is the first step in our progress. There is no need to be ashamed of our motherland being put under the spotlight, you should What shame is that our country still lacks in that aspect. Because we know that our homeland has too many problems, so I want to make our homeland a little better and better through my own efforts."
Why should a happy person worry about the suffering of others? Because no one is an island, he is also a member of society."
dare to face the problems of the motherland, and dare to shoulder the social responsibility of a citizen, and spare no effort to pursue every point Possibility of change.
An actor is working hard to change a country. I think this is the real reason why Amir Khan became a "national treasure actor" in India. The
actor has done this to the extreme.
We often say that Da Zhe will benefit the world.
Every country needs actors like Amir Khan, and even more such citizens.
