Lagan is a movie I watched in my Religion and the arts class. The movie is a musical and I have to say it was not that bad. I am not a fan of musicals but this movie played with my interests. The film is a bout a group of men who want to fight the British government for rtying to raise taxes in India. The group of men are told that if they can win a game of Cricket against the British then they will have no taxe for three years.
Throughout the movie you see the pride within the characters. They are not just fighting to stop the taxes in India but they are fighting to prove a point that India will nto fall under tyrant law. the main character whose name excapes me leads a group of ragity men everyday to paractice and they eventually beat the British heads up in a game of Cricket. Now I could not tell you the first thing about the game of Cricket but I do knwo that the game can last for days and it is entirely to complicating to discuss through blogging.
what strikes me as interesting thoughout the film is the music. It is a musical but it is done almost like balliwood the entire time. People move in ways you can't describe and you feel a type of emotion that is hard to explain. You feel the love within the film. There are all types of songs within the film as well. Love songs, power songs, emotional songs, conqueriing songs and even funny songs. the movie does a great job in selling the emotion of the film and you can't help but enjoy it and at times move with the music.
