Original

Andhadhun

Recently I watched an Indian suspense film named Andhadhun. This movie introduced a piano player acted he was blind and involved a murder by accident. The whole movie exposed the complexity and the bad of human nature. The leading actor acted to a blind person because he wanted to get a lot of benefits from the society, but about this, the director didn’t tell us directly, but we can guess. There were a lot of things that we should suspect, and this was the interesting part of this movie. About the girl who loved the actor, represented the kind of people who were very nice or naive and didn’t know the truth of the issue. The actress was too evil and I wanted other people can kill her. She helped her mistress killed her husband and wanted to killed all the witnesses who knew the murder. She wasn’t a professional killer but she had a cold heart which was a murderer should have. In this movie, most of people wanted to get their benefits and never care about other people’s life, and human organs were their tools of making money. This was a realistic movie, and the music in this movie were matched the story, and I think this is a good movie.

Andhadhun

Recently I watched an Indian suspense film named Andhadhun. This movie introduced a piano player who acted like he was blind and he was involved in a murder by accident. The whole movie exposed the complexity and the bad side of human nature. The leading actor acted as a blind person because he wanted to get a lot of benefits from the society, but [regarding this], the director didn’t tell us directly, but we can guess it / but it is [implied]. There were a lot of things that make the audience suspect he’s actually not blind and this was the interesting part of the movie. Regarding the girl who loved the actor, she represented the kind of person who was very nice or naive and didn’t know the truth. The actress was too evil and I wanted other people to kill her. Even though she was married, she had a boyfriend. She helped her boyfriend / lover kill her husband and wanted to killed all the witnesses who knew about/of the murder. She wasn’t a professional killer but she had a cold heart which is what a murderer should have. In this movie, most of the people wanted to get their benefits and never cared about other people’s life, and human organs were their tools for making money. This was a realistic movie, and the music in this movie were matched the story, and I think this is a good movie.
