      Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains

      In telling the truth, the behavior of the four heroines is more or less contrary to ethics and morals. The director does not deal with the general environment enough, resulting in conflicts and oppression that are too flat. The audience is easily biased by the behavior of the four protagonists and feels the ending It's all self-inflicted. But in fact, it is just a manifestation of resistance to oppression. If they do not step on the line, then they will never have a legitimate opportunity to...

      India's banned film?

      For female-themed Indian films, desire can be seen in the film's name. Four women with very different lives face the same predicament and have no freedom of power. I see them cheating others and themselves in their daily lives, because social reality cannot accept who they are.

      The four people get together at the end of the film and face this deformed society easily. Their hearts are connected.

      There is actually a sex call, which is still at the level of an aunt. This large-scale...

      No matter what kind of woman you are, here you are powerless to struggle

      I watched this movie through a lot of hard work. First of all, there are no subtitles on the online resources. I went to a foreign website and downloaded an English version of the subtitles. Then I used the software to translate it and watch it on the network disk. The speed limit and the non-stop stalling can be described as twists and turns. Although the software translation is not in place, even Guess Daimeng probably understands the plot. ~~~~~~~~~

      I watched "Hot" not long ago...

      Women who desire awakening! India's "banned films" dare to be released

      Speaking of Indian movies, our first reaction is to dance if we don't agree with each other . But with "Wrestling!" The hot screenings of movies such as "Dad" and "Mystery Superstar" have shattered our impression of "only singing and dancing" in Indian movies.

        This film is relatively ordinary among Indian films of the same theme. As for the female characters of the four age groups, the old, middle and young, each of them is not deep enough, but they are forced together at the end, which makes people feel that it is too much and a little...

        This is the largest Indian film I've ever seen, but the scale can't save the film's loose structure. If it weren't for the special status of Indian women, it would be hard to...

        It shows a dilemma, but it doesn't tell us how to get out of it. Everyone who struggles fails and ends up living in this predicament. [By the way, it's absolutely unreasonable to think Rihanna's habit of stealing...

      Movie plot

      The film revolves around the stories of four Indian women, telling the story of women in India, a conservative society, who are eager to break the shackles of reality and fight for independence and freedom. In the countryside of India, a female college student wrapped in a burqa from head to toe has a unique belief and has always dreamed of becoming a pop singer; a young and beautiful beautician wants to escape the "imprisonment" of...

      • Leela: You know what our problem is? We dream too much.

      • Rehana: There's no end to rules in a girls life. Don't sing, don't dance, you'll shame us. Don't walk like that, people will stare. Keep your eyes down, what will people say? Don't breathe, your heaving chest will attract attention! Don't wear lipstick, you'll have an affair! Don't wear jeans, you'll create a scandal! I want to ask the authorities, what exactly will happen? Why does our freedom scare you so?
