Another world 来自星星的逗比
印度电影《我的个神啊》又是一部外星人的地球探索之旅。虽然，这样的题材你似乎已经看过千万遍了，但是这部影片的故事情节却不同于以往。
The film, director Rajkumar Hirani’s latest science fiction comedy, intentionally leaves behind fierceintergalactic battle and soul-touching cross-species intimacy, filling the void with satirical comedy instead. PK, which arrived in Chinese cinemas on May 22, follows PK (Aamir Khan), a bug-eyed alien, as he searches to find a stolen remote control that will help him return home. The journey is filled with laughter, tears and thoughtfulness.
作为导演吉库马尔•希拉尼的最新科幻力作，影片刻意避开了激烈的星际战争以及感人的跨种族爱情，相反，全剧充满了讽刺与幽默。5月22日，《我的个神啊》登陆中国内地各大院线。影片描述了暴眼外星人PK(阿米尔•汗 饰)为了返回家乡寻找遥控装置之旅。全片笑点与泪点俯拾即是，亦能引人深思。
The first half of the film is studded with comic detail. After discovering the strange world, the inquisitivealien questions things that everyone else takes for granted. One scene in which he tries to use a poster printed with the Indian rupee currency symbol to buy carrots is outrageously funny.
影片的前半程充满了喜感的小细节。在认识“陌生”的人类世界时，外星人PK化身好奇宝宝，对我们认为理所当然之事各种提问。在令人捧腹的一幕中，PK企图用一张印着印度货币卢比上相同图案的海报买胡萝卜。
The narrative later turns to focus more on PK’s hidden unrequited love toward Jaggu (Anushka Sharma), a plucky TV journalist, and then ends with a dramatic curve.
影片后半程则聚焦于PK对勇敢的电台记者贾古(安努舒卡•莎玛 饰)的单相思。最后的结局却出乎了所有人的意料。
Even when viewed merely as a love story, PK holds its own. The love between Jaggu and Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput), a young Pakistani Muslim man, overcomes misunderstandings, parental disapproval and the barrier of different beliefs.
就算只是把《我的个神啊》当做一部爱情片来看，它依旧很有自己的特点。其中，女主人公贾古与巴基斯坦的穆斯林年轻人赛非拉兹(苏尚特•辛格•拉吉普特 饰)相恋;他们的爱情战胜了误解、父母的阻挠和和信仰的障碍。
But Hirani’s ambitions extended far beyond just making another love story. His 2009 hit 3 Idiots, which also starred Aamir Khan, 50, incited discussion across India about the country’s education system. And this time, he takes a critical look at religions and social norms through PK’s seemingly ridiculous but logical actions.
但是，导演希拉尼的“野心”并未止步于此。2009年，他的大热之作《三傻大闹宝莱坞》——男主角依然是阿米尔•汗——就对印度的教育体制进行了探讨;这一次，他则用PK看似荒谬却合情合理的行为将批判的目光对准了宗教问题与社会规则。
In a country where faiths are deeply rooted in the culture, most filmmakers consciously avoid touching on the subject to avoid controversy. Hirani’s daring to bring religion to the forefront of public discourse is no doubt a bold move.
在印度，信仰早已扎根于文化之中，为了避免争议，这也成为许多(印度的)导演敬而远之的主题。希拉尼此次将宗教话题搬到公众面前无疑是一次大胆之举。
The strong religious overtones may take a bit more time for Chinese audiences to understand, but PK is thought provoking nonetheless. Every one of us lives in a society where human beings adhere to certain belief systems and codes of behavior. We usually just accept how things are without asking why.
对中国观众而言，想要理解影片中强烈的宗教暗示也许还要花些时间，但是影片依旧引人深思。我们每个人生活在社会中，都需要依赖某些信仰、遵循一些行为准则。而我们却常常连为什么都没有问过就接受了这一切。
The two protagonists in the film, PK and Jaggu, share a similar courage to challenge these deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors. When Jaggu’s colleagues are busy making news out of a mentally ill suicidal cat, she’s the maverick who looks for real newsworthy reports.
作为影片的主人公，PK和贾古勇于挑战根深蒂固的观念和行为。当贾古的同事忙着编造关于一只因为精神失常而自杀的猫的报道时，特立独行的她却在寻找真正有价值的新闻。
This courage is what many of us have lost with age but still long to rediscover in ourselves. That universal sentiment is surely behind PK’s international success.
随着年龄的增长，虽然很多人都已经失去了这样的勇气，却依旧渴望重拾它们。这样普世的情绪造就了电影《我的个神啊》的全球成功。
