Caste is not abolished, India is not happy

Although the Indian constitution also explicitly prohibits racial discrimination, the shackles of the caste system seem to have long been ingrained, and those who have the ability do not want to abolish it. It is the result of interests driving the incompetent who have no ability at all under such a cycle. To put it bluntly, it is still the people at the bottom who love and kill the people at the bottom. People who have been at the bottom for a long time, as long as they...

Canaan's Sword

Last year, South India's Hollywood (Tamil-language film hub) released two films with very close themes [Bim Long Live] and [Swordsman Kanan]. The former was launched on Amazon streaming media, sparking a heated discussion in India and abroad, while the latter was released in India, although less popular, but the performance of the bottom-level resistance to the system is equally shocking.

The story of [Swordsman Kanan] takes place in a remote village in the...

Rare spirit of rebellion in Indian movies

The image of the police inside is like a weakened devil, but the devil faced by India is his own. I am still amazed at the madness of the Indian police, but there are many Indian movies that show police, politicians, gangs, etc., which are more terrifying and incomprehensible than it is, and none of them can be called cruel. This kind of police waits before murder and arson The bullying even strikes me as a very day-to-day generalized situation. What I like the most about...

Beautiful village uprising

There have been a lot of recent Indian films about opposition to hegemony, "Farmers' Revolution", "Jay Bim", and this "Swordsman Kanan", each of which depicts almost exactly the same brutality and cruelty of Indian police to low-caste people . It's hard not to believe that the Indian police are indeed doing such a thing. These films are actually very similar, but "Swordsman Kanan" is the most beautiful of the three films. The display of pastoral scenery and the structure of...

Large MV

The texture of the film is good, and the control of the group performance is particularly good. The ghost of the sword and the mask sister adds a sense of mission and magic to the film.

But this story is far less interesting than the title and introduction. From the results of the presentation and the director's shooting techniques, I clearly feel that the director's emotional and symbolic rendering of the film exceeds the control of the script, and the whole film is close to a...

Strong religious overtones, lots of obscure metaphors and blatant satire! When he raised the knife and executed him, I finally relieved my anger! Ten years in exchange for peace in the village, it was worth it. I admire Asan's ability to make such a satirical film. This kind of film in China probably won't pass the trial. Who wants to be beaten and angry when they can live and work in peace and contentment? "Riot" or "Mob"? The demands of the people have been unable to be resolved, and justice...

India is really a magical place, and this kind of movie can be made because it's more provocative than V for Vendetta and more dangerous than Joker. The film profoundly reflects the huge inequality brought about by the caste system in Indian society and the many problems caused by it. The diverse and complex classes, the chaotic and magical reality, are also mixed with countless gods and religions. Bizarre and colorful, magic realism is being staged all the time. Returning to the film, it is...

More realistic, the oppressed situation at the bottom of India is like a feudal farming society and the western model of Indian power is very different. It is very lacking and does not violate the bus platform. It can cause the superiority and inferiority of the two villages and fights. It can only be said that the Indian society is really true. Very deformed. After all, there is no independence from blood. Democracy still retains the caste system. Personally, I think that unless there is a...
