After watching this Indian film, I am deeply touched. The Indian film is still well done. It can always directly hit the pain points of life, vividly portray people's joys, sorrows and joys, and at the same time express deep human nature and interpersonal relationships through these stories. All kinds of things make people see their own shadow in it, have a deep touch to reflect on their own behavior, and make people motivated to change driven by emotions.

  1. The attitude of the children and husband to the heroine in the play is distressing. The heroine is a standard housewife. She gets up early every morning to prepare the family's breakfast and lunch, but the family takes this kind of love and dedication for granted. She has no job and no social circle, and the only fun is to make snacks and sell them. She persisted for a long time, firstly because she really loves cooking, and more importantly, seeing other people eating their own food. She has a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment. The positive feedback and affirmation of others have made her find her own value, and these things are not available at home. Her husband does not understand her. Small fun and small business have always told her to stop doing it, but she has never been positively encouraged and affirmed, and she has been disappointed again and again. Since she does not know English and only Hindi, she is afraid to attend the parent-teacher conference of her children, and she cannot communicate well with her husband, because their school and company environment are all in English, and they speak English on the phone. Because English made a lot of jokes and embarrassment, I went to my daughter's parent-teacher meeting, and other parents communicated with her in English. She couldn't understand and was very embarrassed. The daughter was very impatient to help her, and the daughter felt ashamed. All these made her Very sad, because of her language and education, her children looked down on her, often yelling at her and disrespecting her. This kind of scene makes me feel so familiar and ashamed. Many times, why don't I treat my mother in the same way. My mother is not educated, she doesn't know many words, and she can't speak Mandarin well. When I was in Shanghai , I took her to dinner with friends, she didn't speak much, and her Mandarin was also Trump, I felt helpless for a moment, thinking about how good it would be if she was educated; I wanted to take her to a concert, watch Art exhibitions, but she can’t understand them; she doesn’t appreciate the scenery and architecture she takes on tours; there is no way to watch foreign language movies and TV shows with her; she doesn’t dare to ride alone for fear of getting lost, basically Just guarding the house; the topics we can talk about are very limited, except for the parents’ shortcoming; I have to explain many things to her many times, and I feel very tired because of this. I feel more like my mother Having received a higher education and being able to speak Mandarin and English well, we can have more communication and exchanges. In fact, I still look down on her, I don't see her value, I don't see the reason why she is she is not her decision and choice, many times it is caused by the era and family background, I only see what she does not have , without seeing and appreciating what she has. I can't ask her for my background and knowledge, it's not fair, just like the daughter in the movie, she's very smart and has excellent grades, seeing other little girls The child's mother has a high level of English and education. In contrast, she feels that her mother is too poor, and she looks down on her from the bottom of her heart, but she ignores her mother's other shining points. She cooks loving food carefully, and can make delicious snacks. Very popular, people are kind, easy-going, strong, and love life. We have no way to choose our own parents. We must accept this reality. What we need is only ourselves. We have no right to ask our parents to change our mood. We must see the bright spots in them and give them affirmation and encouragement. Give them the opportunity to realize their value. The warning to me is that if I get impatient with these things next time, I have to think of this movie immediately, if I were a mother, if my own children did this to me, I would definitely feel very sad, very self-blaming, very disrespectful Sense of value, I need to be more patient to communicate with her, support her no matter what she likes, give her positive encouragement and affirmation, let go of unreasonable requirements and expectations for her, and let us get along as equals , independent people.
  2. The heroine's attitude towards life, life changes: her family looked down on her because of English, and the scene of ordering food in a New York cafe made her finally make up her mind to learn English, without telling anyone, she used her own selling point The money earned by my heart taught tuition fees, and I started my English learning journey very seriously. It can be seen that there has always been a fire in her heart, her passion for life, the fire that never gives up, she wants to make herself different, and tells those who look down on her that she is okay. In the process of learning English, she found confidence little by little and communicated in English. From her, I saw the power of water that others often say, very simple, very calm, and very serious in doing anything. When it comes to difficulties, it will not rampage and complain, but slowly adjust its state, overcome it little by little, and finally win respect for itself through its own efforts. In it, she said: If there is a problem in the marriage, it does not mean to give up or end, but to rely on yourself to overcome the difficulties, no one will help you, only rely on yourself, let yourself change. You can only get what you want when you love yourself. What she wants is very simple, just respect and equality from others, especially her family.
  3. How to look at your own worth: Don't belittle yourself under the influence of the outside world. Just like the heroine in the play, the classmates in the English course praised her cooking skills. She herself feels that this is nothing to be proud of. One classmate said Cooking is an art, she was surprised, she should have never thought of this metaphor. She thinks that men's cooking is an art, while women's cooking is an obligation, which shows how much influence family and surrounding environment have on a person.

    In fact, it is another story that puts women in a position to be saved from beginning to end. Even the French who loves her is a saving character; after watching Salon, it seems that male audiences have a special desire to express, but I don’t think this film has any cultural shock. The relationship of half a cent is a female movie, and the female director's female perspective is very obvious. And there is a concept conveyed very well: if you want to be saved, you must first save yourself. It's like loving yourself first if you want to be loved.
