Indians speak English, I kneel as soon as I speak

If the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus in Olympia, the Mausoleum of Mothoras, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria are the seven wonders of the world, then in the heart of Yijie, India People who speak English can be called "the eighth wonder of the world".

Because Indians speak English, it is like a disaster scene.


But it is very strange that even if Indians speak English in a particularly obscure and difficult way due to the influence of the Indian accent, English still occupies a very important position in the minds of Indians, so important that it can determine a person's class status.

The movie "Indian English" shows us the importance of English with typical Indian comedy.


Shaxi (Hili Daiyu) is a full-time wife. Well, it seems too polite to say a full-time wife here. In fact, according to our popular saying, Shaxi is a housewife.

In her daily life, in addition to taking care of the family's food, drink and Lhasa, she also takes care of the family's food, drink and Lhasa. Like every housewife around us, she doesn't have much communication with her husband and little chat with her children.

And what about the rest of the family? Whenever I look for her, it's basically because of such trivial things as "where are my schoolbags" and "where are my socks".

It can be said that in the eyes of the family, Shahi is a wife and a mother, but she is also a nanny and a servant.


In addition to that, Shahi is a person who is out of touch with society. In front of her, her husband would hug his female colleagues directly, completely ignoring his wife's shock and jealousy. Because, her husband's deep-rooted idea is that Shahi is a woman who does not understand English, and her thoughts are solidified and stubborn.

In front of Sahi, the daughter will directly despise and despise. It was a parent-teacher meeting at the school. The husband was unable to attend because of a temporary business, so he decided to have the housewife Shahi go instead of him. As a result, the daughter went back to face: she can't speak English, why did she go? Shame on me.


Yes, my daughter's school adopts all English teaching methods, so a mother who can't speak English seems to be quite embarrassing to her.

But Shaxi is a mother after all. Even if she finally went to school and finally participated in her daughter's parent-teacher conference, in the midst of her daughter's dislike and contempt, she also realized the reality of life with a chilling heart - if she doesn't know English, she is really unworthy. Earn the respect of others.

Well, this kind of serious fallacy, the first sister is also going to kneel. But in India, there seems to be such a cruel reality. Due to British colonization, English has long penetrated into all corners of Indian society. Although Hindi English is always ridiculed and ridiculed by us, it is indeed a standard for the class differentiation of Indians.


Fortunately, when Shahi was in despair, her sister who was far away in New York called her and said that because her daughter was about to get married, she needed Shahi to go to New York to help manage the wedding.

Go to New York! I'm going to New York, guys. It's the perfect English training place. Of course, Shahi, who received the call, didn't think so, because, for a woman who doesn't understand English, it's like going to the sky alone to travel this far.

But there is no way, since the sisters need themselves, they still have to go.


So, she set off with the basic English terms written for her by her husband. It was just this passing that changed the rest of her life.

First of all, when Sahi came to New York, what she saw was that the women here were living brightly and brightly. They dared to laugh unrestrainedly and cry loudly. They didn't have to deliberately try to please anyone, they were themselves. Secondly, under the pressure of the external environment, Shahi finally decided to study English well for herself.

Of course, here, she also met a handsome French guy, but these are just a beautiful scenery on the road of her life. What Sahi really met was herself who had lived for decades and was truly full of soul.


Perhaps the movie "Indian English" just explained to us the importance of a woman's independent personality by speaking English, but in this film, Sister Yi understood the "terrible worldly" social reality! However, these are not important, the important thing is that after watching this film, we finally completed our own remodeling and redemption with Shahi through our own efforts.

The hit movie "Wu Wen Xi Dong" said: You will be happy when green shoots emerge from the ground, you will cheer and jump at the rising sun, and you will also give others kindness and warmth, but you will praise other lives at the same time. , often even forever forget their preciousness.

So, no matter what the outside world is like, please remember that you are always the most precious one.
