This Villain Intro is UNREAL... #RRR (SPOILER FREE + spoiler section)

You don't need to have seen this movie to appreciate this MASTERFUL character introduction. (That said, you can find RRR on Netflix!) This is an epic lesson in SHOW DON'T TELL. From the first few seconds of seeing this Indian British soldier, we get a powerful impression of personality, ideologies, life goals, and position within the story. This 10 minute sequence gives us a challenge for a VILLAIN, an arc for him to show off his best qualities, in a way that's so unbalanced in its odds and stakes that we cannot look away. By the end, he is left with a conflict (failing to achieve his promotion) that expands his character even further. Even though the scene is clearly over the top, it gives us a simple step-by-step lesson in suspension of disbelief. We don't need a name, we don't need dialogue -- we're all set with this character's story with this epic battle we see here.

Apologies for not realizing it's Telugu and not Hindi! (Netflix version was in Hindi so I just assumed)

[anarionelendili]

RRR is one of those rare films that I was pretty much ready to watch again right after it ended.

His first ever dialogue in the movie is *"Do you want him dead or alive"*

[raam]

Ram - unstoppable force
Bheem - immovable object

All I can say.. Keeravani deserves every award he receive for RRR. Some of the background scores are freaking amazing and sets the mood for us viewers.

[carmacksanderson]

Wow. I never would've expected this to be the next video on the docket. As an Indian myself I am quite pleasantly surprised at how much international attention RRR has received, now even more glad that it warranted an analysis from you

[coffic]

RRR was basically a live-action anime... it was great!! ❤️‍🔥

[jasonstamwitz]

This movie was awesome! Seen it twice, and I smile through all reaction videos i’ve watched. This is a full movie. It has action, great score, heroic themes, love stories, clean and funny comedy. All done without a single curs word. Brilliant.

[ReblazeGaming]

RRR is one of my favourite movies of all time, it's genuinely amazing. As shown here everything about it is soooo good.

One piece of context regarding his weapon choice: the lāṭhī (baton) is iconic of the Indian policeman, and going back further, the daṇḍa (staff) in Indian mythology is a symbol of justice, order, punishment.

He picked, and stubbornly held onto the whole time, a weapon not of mindless violence, but ideologically charged action, which can go either way, if you've seen the film.

this movie is a wild ride from start to finish. it’s so ridiculous, but it also has so much heart. it’s a really great watch

[LeylaSKDR]

"Challenges for the villains" I love it. Taking notes.

[rekhantu]

I think what I liked about this film more was how genuine it was. You can feel the love and care every member of their team put into it, how nobody considered "is this too much "x"? " . It stayed true to itself through every second of the film. Loved it. Will watch it a thousand more times.

[giantspacemonstrdev]

Indian films are literally well made anime live action films that we have been missing out on.

[BillNyeTheBountyGuy]

I think why people like -'Bollywood'- Tollywood films so much is because the action/over the top aspects of the film are what the raw emotions call for. The odds more stacked, the reinforcements at dawn more hopeful, the feats more grand. It's like your grandpa telling you a story when you're a kid, but it's a whole movie.

[fifi_ohno]

I saw the spoiler free part of this and decided to watch the movie, watched the whole 3 hours then came back and finished this video. What an awesome movie really glad to have heard abt it and an excellent analysis too :D

[guicaldo]

"Depth with fake stopping points" is such a good way of referring to it. I also _love_ it when you think you understand a character only for them to pull the rug out from under you and making you realize they're so much more complex than you thought. That's pretty much every character in Arcane, and I do it in my own writing whenever possible. It's good to finally have a name for that concept

[Sharpe]

As someone who loves musicals and really dislikes/is indifferent to most action movies, I had never seen and Indian film prior to RRR and now that I’m watching more of them, I really can’t get enough and I think it’s because Indian directors/filmmakers use the same logic that is applied to musicals. In musicals, if an emotion is too big for speaking, you sing. If the emotion is too big for song, you dance. In India, it feels like they added another layer which is, “If the situation and emotion is too big for either, you fight, ” and they will inject the action scenes with whatever emotion the situation calls for. It’s not just, “Put a car chase here, put a fight scene there, ” the fight scenes serve a purpose, if done well, just like how a musical number serves a purpose in a musical, if done well.

[asapstan]

The first few minutes of this movie blew me away.and keeps the action going all the way through till the end.its very rare that a movie now days captives me.the perfect movie!

[mycroft]

This movie was a hell of a trip. And I had to pause after his intro sequence. It was absolutely ludicrous and without being able to describe the details of why, it just hits. The writing on the movie is exceptionally good. The visual storytelling is top notch. The effects are crazy good. It's a very different style of cinema, but man was it a well made movie.
