White Tiger, a good New Year movie in 2021, uses a different vision to learn more about India, a country where caste is used to differentiate classes, high-level people blaspheme, bully and exploit the servants at the bottom, the protagonist of the film Bara Mu was born into a low-caste family, earns little, and is constantly exploited by landlords. The father worked every day to support the family, and the money he earned had to be given to the landlord and handed over to the greedy grandmother. It can be said that he was a complete tool man. Balam's father contracted tuberculosis due to long-term work, and the family lost their financial support. After that, Balam was fooled by his grandmother to drop out of school to work to support the family.
When he became an adult, once the landlord brought his young son Ashok to the village to collect money. Ashok had just returned from studying in the United States and was influenced by the freedom and equality of the West. Compared with his father and brother, he treated people politely and equally. In Balam's eyes Floodlight believes that Ashok is his master, and learns from the side that Ashok needs a driver. The protagonist Balam is a person with emotional intelligence, eloquence, studious, and high execution. In order to convince the treacherous grandma to give him 300 Ruby went to learn to drive as a driver, told stories to grandma, painted cakes, and finally went to Danbad to learn how to drive. Through his high emotional intelligence and expressive ability, he persuaded the landlord to drive for Ashok. Because he was a newcomer, Balam became the second driver. , Where there are people, there is a political class. The second driver is very different from the number one driver. He has to do more things. On the surface, he is a driver, and he even has to do some housework. In order to be the number one driver, Balam went to understand the competition. The advantages and disadvantages of the opponent's number one driver, and finally discovered a secret of the other party. The other party is a Muslim, and the religious issue is also a topic of criticism in India. Religious inequality, landlords hate Islamic people, and the number one driver in order to be the landlord's driver, Incognito and concealment of religion for 20 years, and finally, like Korea (parasite), he was successfully squeezed out by Balam. In order to be a qualified servant, the smart Balam learned the vocabulary from the master Ashok and others, and tried to remember each one. The owner liked it, Balam succeeded, and successfully won the love of Ashok and Pingji and his wife, and then followed to the capital Delhi to get a good "friend" relationship between Ashok and Pingji. Balam wanted to be different from other servants, not to make jokes with other servants, while doing his duty as a "servant", like a chicken in a chicken coop.
Ashok's wife, Ping Ji, grew up in the United States. Human rights are equal and respectful. The only person who respects Balam from the bottom of her heart. She is dismissive of India's caste system. After finishing the book, you have to cross the gap between classes and start your own family. The caste system is bullshit. Reading can change your destiny, arm yourself with knowledge, change your cognition, and be your own master, but Balam has not awakened.
There are always small episodes in life, and it can't be smooth sailing. One night on Ping Ji's birthday, Ping Ji was drinking too much and rushing to drive with Balam. Driven by alcohol, he drove fast, but he was still on the street at 2 am The child on the bus was hit and killed. After the incident, the Ashok Pinji and his wife were so excited that they wanted to call the police to save the child. Balam was very calm and stopped the Ashok Pinji and his wife, and then took them away from the scene, because he had seen many people on the ground floor. Compared with this tragic thing, the master is eager to protect the master, and coupled with the instinctive reaction, it is beneficial to the master and himself to deal with it.
Balam thought that after this incident, the owner would favor him, especially the landlord, calling Balam the top bag was extraordinary and calling him family, but he was just sane. How good was Balam after reading the book of surrender Helpless, with tears in his eyes, pain, sadness, and passiveness. Back to the residence, sad, uncomfortable, constantly thinking. Fortunately, in the end, the landlord's family settled the matter through relationships without the need for Balam's top package. After that, the landlord no longer treated him politely, and continued to enslave him. He ordered him to press his feet and kicked him. The father-in-law insulted Balam. Seeing this demeaning personality, he finally broke out of dissatisfaction and quarreled with his father-in-law. In the middle of the night, he asked Balam to take her to the airport to return to the United States. He said two words to Balam on the way. : "You have been looking for the key for many years, but the door is always open." Why not? The class divide in India, especially the lower caste people, has been instilled in the slave mentality since childhood, loyal to the master, and like a chicken in a chicken coop. Imprisoned and dare not escape, look at us again, we are labelled by education level, occupation, wealth, etc. In fact, most of us are also "Balam". After learning that Ping Ji was gone, Ashok showed strong dissatisfaction with Balam, grabbed Balam's collar and got angry, and slapped Balam twice in a row, Balam pushed Ashok away, suddenly. The crow croaked on the window, and then flew away, implying freedom.
After Ping Ji left, Ashok drank heavily for two days. Balam kept waiting for his master to call him to work, but there was no news. As a servant, he took care of Ashok, made Ashok regain his strength, and dreamed of doing something big with him. However, all this was broken by Ashok's arrival. The so-called friendship is nothing more than a fake relationship. It is a drunken talk driven by alcohol and alcohol. After sobering up, it is still a master-servant relationship. It is a transaction between the master and the servant. And the relationship can be replaced at any time. At this time, Balam has already awakened half, learned to shake his wit, began to deceive the owner, lied about the maintenance fee, stole the car oil to sell, and then went to the car passenger without telling the owner. The nephew came to the city to seek refuge with Balam to teach him to become a driver. Grandma sent him a letter. The letter talked about Balam marrying a wife and sending money, which completely angered him. The poor life that he controls, wants to cut off from this life, he wants to break the fate of the chicken coop that continues. White tiger, Bengal tiger, a genetically mutated tiger, there is only one generation in a generation, when I saw the white tiger in the zoo with my nephew, it seemed like I saw myself.
In order to help his family avoid tax evasion, Ashok went to bribe officials. Every time he went to the government hall with a large bag of money, Balam had several crooked thoughts. The dialogue between Heaven's father and Balam completely awakened him from his dream: "This money is used for tax evasion and tax evasion. You can just take it away. The money is not his, it was plundered from the people at the bottom of us." In the end, he picked up Ashok's wine bottle from the rubbish heap, smashed half of it and stabbed Ashok with the sharp slit, and took the money used to bribe the officials. Balam is no longer that cowardly servant. "It's no longer the one he was before, it's the white tiger that only produced one in that generation,
An extremely smart and highly executive low-level person, finally took the money to sell the police chief to start a taxi company, became an Indian entrepreneur, and lived a life of the upper class
Not every "servant" is a Baram, not everyone dares to break the routine, there may be many "Balam" who want to resist and break the routine, but are shattered by reality, more obedient, deeply rooted in servility and incompetence. Thinking and resisting are just one of several eras, not everyone can write successfully.
On the other hand, we are also "servants" in India. Although we have no caste system, no conscious class, and a relatively equal country, in some thinking, we are chickens in a chicken coop. Imprisonment, mindset, reading is the best way to grow up. The method, improving cognition and thinking ability, is the key to open all doors, independent thinking is like a key, and if you want to open that door, you will open that door.
