It's not a movie review, it's just bullshit

The first time I watched this movie was on the movie channel. I have forgotten the exact year. I only remember that I was still in school at that time, and the movie was broadcast on Thursday nights. As everyone knows about the length of Indian movies, I was worried that I would not be able to watch it at that time. In class, I didn't expect my parents to agree to watch this movie with me for the first time, so I went to school on Friday morning with gorgeous dark circles and swollen eyes, because I only slept half the night and cried while watching the other half.
Because of this movie, I fell in love with Ashwarya Rai's sad eyes.
Because this is not a movie, from now on, the running scenes in other movies can no longer be watched.
At the end of the movie, the scene where Paro ran to the dying David deeply shocked me, the string of bright red footprints, the flying sari, watching countless movies, I have never seen such a beautiful and desperate picture. Because of this image, I will always love Bollywood Life and Death.
*** ***
Over ten years ago, I cried for the love in Bollywood.
More than ten years later, I mourned for the love in "Bollywood Life and Death".
*** ***
I don't like Aishwarya Rai's appearance in the film. In thunderstorms, women's long hair is always scary. Even if she is a peerless beauty, it will add a supernatural flavor. What's more, Aishwarya Lei in the scene is shocking enough, but not beautiful. Her beauty was not fully discovered until the scene of grooming after marrying into her husband's family.
At that moment, I suddenly understood Paro's pride, because there is indeed a proud capital.
It was at that time that I suddenly understood David's deep love for Paro, such a beautiful woman, let alone a man, even a woman couldn't help but love her.
But the screenwriter was always the stepmother.
In order to meet the theme of "life and death", David and Paro must not be together.
I am resentful.
I am angry.
I hate India's class concept, which separates men and women who love each other abruptly, and even hate that this class concept that kills human happiness is still rooted in every corner of the world and is everywhere.
Of course, that was me more than ten years ago.
Ten years ago, I believed in the love between Paro and David, and the promises made by all the idiots in the world. I believed that the world would one day no longer have darkness.
But after more than ten years, I finally understand that without darkness, light is not light; promises are only to be broken; David loves Paro, even if he has love.
If he really loved it to the core, David would take Paro with him the night he drove the carriage away from home, instead of saying useless regrets before Paro's wedding.
So the deep-rooted love became a joke.
It has become a tragedy of a timid escaper digging his own grave.
David was not as brave as Chandram, and his fear sealed his end.

"The clay in front of the prostitutes shaped the statue of the goddess. The clay is not feeble either!"
*** ***
Like Chandram.
Her persistence, her self-esteem.
But what's the use, no matter how strong the poor woman said, she could only return to Fireworks Willow Lane in the end. The clay in front of the prostitute's door shaped the statue of the goddess, and the people worshiped the goddess statue, but despised the mud in front of the prostitute's door. The soil may not be weak, but it has to endure trampling.
A chilling irony.
Pride and integrity must rely on the power of power to be recognized, otherwise it will only be like Chandlam, and will eventually return to Fireworks and Willow Lane.
