Father as a mountain

A great movie, it is not easy to make an unpopular sports subject watchable, and what is even more commendable for this movie is that it was shot in a patriarchal country like India to promote it. Feminist films. The first tear in this movie for me was what the little girl said when the two girls went to a classmate's wedding. The little girl told the tragic fate of most girls in India today. They were arbitrarily sent to marry by their father at a very young age, just to reduce the burden on the family, and then they could only revolve around the whole life. Live with pots and pans, without a life of your own. The father in the movie may indeed train his children to fulfill his wrestling dream at the beginning, but at the same time he also has practical considerations for the children's future, because when wrestling can become their profession, they can get rid of them The tragic fate of most of the girls. He taught girls to be tenacious, to realize that they are no worse than boys, and that they can even beat any boy with hard work. The father's love is like a mountain, which means that the father's love is great and tolerant at the same time. The father is always very serious. In 80% of the film, the father frowns with a straight face, but when the daughter encounters setbacks, the father rushes to his daughter at all costs to comfort her and encourage her to guide her. She, let her beat her opponent and beat herself. So when the Indian national anthem was played on the field, not only did the three father and daughter cry in the movie, but I also burst into tears. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best movie I have seen in the first half of 2017, and I recommend that anyone who has not seen it must go and watch it.

Dangal quotes

  • Mahavir Singh Phogat: You have to fight in a way that people will remember you. If you win silver, sooner or later, you will be forgotten. If you win gold, you will be an example, And examples are given, child... not forgotten. See those girls? If you win tomorrow, you will not win alone. Millions of girls like them will win along with you. It will be a victory for every girl who is considered inferior to boys; who is forced into household chores, who is married off to just raise children. Tomorrow's match is the most important one. Because tomorrow, we are not fighting just that Australian, but all those people who think lesser of girls.

    Mahavir Singh Phogat: All along, I was desperate for a son so he could win a gold in wrestling for India. But what didn't occur to me was that gold is gold. Whether won by a boy or a girl.
