If your child is lost, what is your biggest prayer?
Needless to say, find him as soon as possible, or hope that a well-meaning person will send him back to you in good condition.
The Indian movie "Little Lolita's Uncle Monkey God" released in early March told such a story.
A six-year-old Pakistani mute girl, Shahida, lost her mother on the train returning home from India, while a kind Indian boy, nicknamed the monkey god Pawan, went through hardships to return the lost little girl to her mother.
This film has always followed a warm line . It talks about beautiful elements such as love, faith, and kindness, as well as sharp issues such as national conflicts and religious conflicts. Today, I want to talk about a few notable highlights of the film .
1) Beautiful scenery and beautiful folk customs
The film first shows us the beautiful scenery, a beautiful place similar to Switzerland - the Kashmir region of Pakistan, which is also the small village where the heroine Little Lolita Shahida lives in the play. The life here is simple and peaceful.
She is very beautiful, but she can't speak, and because of this, she has received more love and care from her parents.
When Shahida was six years old, her parents were very worried about her still not being able to speak. In desperation, they decided to pray to the gods. On the way back from praying for blessings at the Grand Mosque in Delhi, India, Shahida was lost, and their family had to face the tragic separation of flesh and blood.
Here we must take a look at the contradiction between the two countries of India and Pakistan, which is also the background of all the contradictions in this story.
Due to historical problems, the political relationship between India and Pakistan is very tense, and the difference in religious beliefs has exacerbated the contradiction between the two countries.
India mainly believes in Hinduism and Pakistan mainly believes in Islam. The different teachings of these two religions are exclusive to a certain extent. Because of such political and religious contradictions, the two countries are full of contradictions from the level of power to the level of the common people.
Therefore, when Shahida was lost, the two countries could not take the initiative to coordinate to find the child at the first time, but with the help of the kindness of a kind Indian, the child could find a home.
The play shows Hindu religious celebrations, and this scene is also the scene where Shahida and Pawan meet.
With this as the background, beautiful scenes and lively rhythm songs are displayed, showing the living customs of the Indian people through singing and dancing. This is also a characteristic of Indian dramas.
The show also showcases Pakistani customs while Pawan takes Shahida home. It can be said that the highlights are frequent, and these are the words later.
After Pawan performed a wonderful song and dance, Shahida followed Pawan until Pawan took her in and made up her mind to help her find her parents.
2) Impressed by the simplicity and kindness of the monkey god and his devotion to religion
After the film explains the encounter between Little Loli and the Monkey God, it begins to introduce the experience of the Monkey God.
Pawan's father was an all-rounder and very good, but he couldn't do anything well himself. He failed the college entrance examination ten times until he passed the eleventh time. His father died in tears of joy.
At this point, the story is more comedic. However, we also saw that Pawan has a simple and persistent personality, and he looks a little stupid.
But this stupid, cute, always make everyone happy.
This stupidity, perseverance and simplicity is also manifested in the fact that he saw monkeys (the holy object of the religion) and kept worshipping, and when he first met his lover, Lasika, he couldn't break ten change for the bus driver. Rupee was entangled, that is, he was reluctant to give Lasika an extra five rupees, and he could not accept the five rupees that the other party did not want.
When you see the movie, everyone may feel a little long-winded. In fact, this is the show's continuous deepening of Pawan's character, paving the way for his not afraid of hardships and hardships, so that he insisted on sending Shahida back to China, which seemed more natural.
One point must be mentioned here: the original meaning of religion.
It's not meant to turn people against each other, but to spread kindness. In the long development history of religion, many people have forgotten this very important element, but Pawan has achieved true kindness.
This difference is also shown in the play. Many people face a person from a country that is politically and religiously hostile, even a child, who does not think it is worth being rescued. The most representative is Rasika's father. When he found out that Shahida was a heretic, he began to put pressure on Pawan to send Shahida away as soon as possible.
Undoubtedly, this kind of religious belief and patriotism is narrow-minded, and people with this kind of thinking will not tolerate it, even if they lose their kindness, they will not love.
Pawan's religious beliefs seem to be foolish and loyal, but he is wise and foolish. He has the spirit of great love, which is also a main idea advocated by the play.
3) Good people do good deeds, but they also have ideological struggles
We generally think that good people will do good deeds wholeheartedly, neither affected by external influences nor consider their own interests. This show tells you that good people do good deeds and still struggle in their hearts, which is in line with human nature.
Pawan wants to marry Lasika, but he has to complete the task set by Lasika's father within half a year, that is, rely on his own ability to buy a house of his own, otherwise his lover Lasika will marry someone else .
At a critical moment when every ounce of money is needed, if Pawan escorts Shahida regardless, it is obviously for him to make a choice between a happy marriage and love and the kindness of humanity.
Pawan struggled, he sent Shahida to the Pakistani embassy, and even with the help of Rasika, took out the money for his own house purchase and entrusted others to smuggle Shahida back. Shahida kept telling him that he did not want to stay with the client, but he still decided to leave alone.
At this point in the story, Pawan is constantly struggling, making the story more vivid and ups and downs, and making the characters more three-dimensional and full.
When Pawan saw the bracelet that Shahida liked in the night market, he decided to buy it, and also provided a reason to turn around and go back to Shahida to convince himself. The quality of kindness finally made him unable to bear to leave a little girl, and it was this kind of kindness that saved Shahida.
At this time, Shahida was sent to a brothel by a shameless client, and thanks to Pawan finding her, she was saved from the filth.
There is a prop in the play, which left a deep impression on me. It was a windmill that was inserted into the tricycle that Shahida and the client were sitting on when they left. Pawan has been chasing Shahida's figure and this lonely windmill all the way. forward.
The windmill is like a navigation, always guiding the direction of Pawan's feet, and the windmill is Shahida's hope.
The truth of this show is that it is constantly showing human nature.
People are born selfish, and overcoming this selfishness requires a kind of strength. Pawan's power comes from the pure goodness of his nature, and the edification of the goodness preached in religion. It is the struggle and choice between selfishness and altruism that altruism can finally overcome selfishness, which is more valuable.
4) How precious is the trust between people
>>>>Shahida Trust Pawan
When Shahida met Pawan for a short time, because of Pawan's straightforwardness and kindness, he chose to believe him.
It may be Pawan's dashing and enthusiastic dance at the festival, or it may be the glass of water and two pancakes that Pawan offered her.
This kind of trust is actually a kind of hope, and it also allowed her to finally return to her mother.
>>>>Lasika Trust Pawan
Lasika believes that Pawan is pure and kind. She is ready to marry Pawan who has nothing because of these two points, and because of these two points, she unconditionally supports Pawan to find Shahida home. When Pawan hesitated, Support Pawan mentally and materially.
This kind of trust is actually a kind of love, it is love, and it is also the spirit of great love of faith.
>>>>Pawan Trust Reporter
The reporter was a negative existence at first, but after the reporter offered to help, Pawan chose to trust the reporter. He also asked reporters to accompany him to take Shahida home, and even when he was about to get to Shahida's house and was discovered by the Pakistani police, he chose to let reporters take Shahida away first to attract the police's attention.
This kind of trust has gained new opportunities for cooperation, so that a complex and difficult task can be completed faster.
>>>>Imam trust Pawan
The imam of a mosque in Pakistan, after listening to Pawan's story, chose to trust this infidel from another country, and not only helped Pawan find Shahida's home, but also hid them and helped them escape the police's pursuit.
This trust is the spirit of great love that transcends religions and unreserved support.
>>>>Car drivers trust Pawan
After listening to Pawan's story, the driver chose to believe him. When the police caught up with them, the driver hid Pawan, Shahida and the reporter, took the police away, and helped them find Shahida's home until they got to their destination.
This kind of trust is the practical action of the kindness in human nature after being moved by Pawan's behavior.
When the incident of Pawan helping Shahida to go home spread from the Internet, people were willing to give this kind of trust and willing to lend a helping hand, which also made this drama full of warmth.
5) The villain, obstructed by different interests
A good drama, if it is all good people, will definitely be boring. It is precisely because of the various negative characters set up at different stages in the play that the process of overcoming difficulties is more exciting.
Biggest villain: Rasika's dad
He represents a large part of Indian patriots and religious protectors, and has a special hatred for the country and people of Pakistan. So, when he knew Shahida's identity, the first thought was - she had to get out of the house.
The second biggest villain: the black-hearted consultant of the travel agency
Because India and Pakistan stopped applying for visas for a month, he lied that he had smuggling resources, defrauded Pawan of 150,000 rupees, and sold Shahida to a brothel.
This person has no conscience, has no compassion for a lost girl, and only wants to make huge profits from her.
The third biggest villain: part of the Pakistani police
Without investigating the reason, he rudely concluded that Pawan was an Indian spy, and regardless of the life and death of his own national Shahida, he blindly pursued him.
Because of the antagonistic relationship between the two countries, the police, who are the state ruling machines of India and Pakistan, are very vigilant about the flow of personnel between the two countries, always maintain a skeptical attitude, and prepare for arrest and interrogation.
6) Black-to-white characters, moved by good deeds, began to help others
Many things are not black and white, and the nature of many people oscillates between good and evil. The screenwriter of this drama is very insightful about human nature, so he also arranged a few characters from black to white to make the plot more diversified and the content fuller.
The most typical black to white: reporter
After Pakistani reporters discovered Pawan and Shahida, they originally reported on Indian spies with first-hand information, and contributed to the TV station for financial benefits, and then followed them all the way, and even reported to the police.
The reporter was initially annoying to the audience. But when he knew that Pawan was trying to send a Pakistani girl back home, he was deeply moved, and he also devoted himself to the process of helping Shahida find a home, and he also used the power of the media.
7) This drama is a hope
Few people want to live in an environment of suspicion, conflict, and violence, where every negative confrontation causes harm, both physically and mentally, to those in this environment.
This drama makes us deeply appreciate the harm of negative environment .
The lost children cannot find their parents, and the process of sending the children to find their parents is extremely difficult due to the tense relations between the two countries.
The child is pure, and her big twinkling eyes see the kindness and malice of this world. She will smile happily for the help of kindness, she will unconditionally trust a stranger, and of course she will feel very helpless when others are malicious, and even reluctantly admit her fate.
This is very terrifying. A child who is doted on by his parents, a child who has not yet formed a hard shell to protect himself, must face the malice given by the issue of state relations, the malice given by differences in religious beliefs, and the society. Bullying by powerful groups.
When we see Shahida crying helplessly when he sees the police beating Pawan, who doesn't stand still?
Who doesn't feel heartbroken when we see Shahida being choked by an ignorant police officer to make sure she's not dumb?
She is not only despised and discriminated against by people in other countries, but also does not receive the respect she deserves in her own country.
What is the life situation of adults with the ability to protect themselves in such an environment?
Pawan rescued a young mute girl with a kind heart. She was seriously injured when she was suspected of being a foreign spy. An adult, when faced with conflicts and conflicts that society and the state cannot resolve, also have to endure the double bullying of the body and spirit from the outside world.
It is precisely because of this hostility and contradiction between countries and religions that everyone is very fair and makes everyone feel insecure.
Therefore, the people of the two countries are eager to have a peaceful social environment and an international environment, to dissolve conflicts between countries, to tolerate each other between religions, and to have more goodwill and love in the society.
The show had a very happy ending, with Shahida finally returning to her mother.
The people of both countries were moved by Pawan, who not only rescued him from prison, but also spontaneously organized to send him across the border back to their own countries. At the same time, he was warmly welcomed and respected by the people of his own country.
The show is warm and touching.
Shahida's parents wanted to ask the gods to help their children speak and find their children. None of these gods could help them, but these things that made the gods powerless were achieved by an Indian boy.
Eventually, Shahida shouted "Uncle" from the iron fence at the border.
The high iron wire barriers on the border line and the physical barriers of children have all been broken through by true feelings.
May great love overcome all evil, may great love overcome all obstacles, and may all children in the world be treated with kindness.
