"My king may be small, but I am still king."
There are very few films like this that make me rewatch its lines over and over again.
Yes, it is these lines that attract me.
It is their dialogue in the characters. In such a scene, the expressions of the characters, the arrangement of the environment, the background music, etc., make each line show great tension, and the words are deeply thought-provoking.
My two favorite scenes, one is the argument between the male protagonist and his sister in the evening, and the other is the argument between the male protagonist and his young wife.
The focus of the film actually reflects the difference in values. The sister said of her sister-in-law, Nihal, "This person is arrogant and pretends to be holy, and wants some kind of ritual of redemption to feed himself. Holy, not throwing bones at the evil dog, but sharing a piece of the pie with him when you are hungry." So is Nihal such a person? I think at least from her random donation of a huge sum of money anonymously from her husband to the Ismail family, it can be seen that she is not only pretending to be holy, but also at a loss. She didn't know where the support of the so-called public welfare undertakings she was engaged in was. Why, because she married a rich male protagonist, a male protagonist 10 or 20 years older than him, she did not have the ability to survive independently, which she herself admitted in the film. She went to Ismail's house late at night and asked his brother how he made money outside. At that moment, I thought she was ready to leave the male lead and escape from the breeder who raised her (sorry, for the inability to make money Independence is just for women who depend on men, which I don't like). Only by doing things that are not related to the male protagonist can she feel that she can't live without him or at least has a meaning of existence.
That kind of complicated feelings that hate him but can't be separated from him makes the two people who might have been in love become strangers.
What's the point of living like this?
This bond is still well represented in the film, such as the male protagonist peeping at the female protagonist's office or room, as well as their activities.
I liked the lines in that debate very much, and I specially copied them down.
Nihal——
1. You are mature, loyal, and fair, but sometimes you use these qualities to hurt others, to despise, humiliate, and crush them. Your strong moral sense makes you hate the world, you hate believers, because to you, belief is a sign of obsolete ignorance; you also hate unbelievers, because they have neither religion nor ideals; you think conservatives Step-by-step thinking is too limited, young people are too free, and they attack traditional ideas; you always promote things that everyone is interested in, but you actually think everyone is bad, so you hate everyone. What do you like? Not even once, if you can defend those you don't like, or don't brag about yourself.
2. Conscience, morality, ideals, principles, goals in life, you always use these words to abuse, hurt, humiliate, and degrade others. I think those who keep throwing out these words are doubtful.
3. My good qualities are lost in the quarrel with you, and I have become stubborn, severe, timid, and suspicious.
male protagonist-
1. Our youth is bleak, we have not learned how to be happy, or how to make ourselves happy.
2. Deify a man and then rebuke him, saying he can't be like a real god. I want to be that charismatic actor of your dreams, but I'm not, I'm simple, and worst of all, I want to stay that way.
Sister - You always run away from fear of suffering, but we need courage to face the truth.
