Although the film staged a ridiculous parenting battle, Indian films have such a power to raise sharp social issues in comedy, and isn't the highest level of comedy a tragedy? Did you laugh while watching a movie? It's still the same as me. I can't laugh when I smile. In this dark real world, the ending of the film is very harmonious. It seems that the right choice has been made, but it is still idealized. In the film, almost all the methods of comparison are used, and the details are actually very interesting. When it comes to parenting, mothers are always more concerned than fathers. Mitu is such a worried and anxious mother. She wanted to choose the best local aristocratic private school for her child, but when she discussed it with her father Raj, she could not reach an agreement, so Mito used her powerful imagination to convince her father that her daughter Pia would Class and inferiority complex, timid, bad learning and even drug addiction, it will end in life. Her reasoning: Daughter Pia can no longer repeat the path her parents have taken, and receive the education her parents have received before. Although I think this mother is too anxious, her persuasiveness is not advanced, she is just a kind of anxiety and chicken baby, but the two words that this father Raj said at the time impressed me deeply: Are we not doing well now? You can't predict what will happen to Pia in the future!
"Aren't we doing well now?" Compared with Mitu's anxiety, her anxiety is reflected everywhere in her choice of school and in her living habits. Pia will be meticulously taken care of when she is with her mother, but This kind of care is not free and self-conscious. Mom seems to have a very mature and absolute parenting concept. Watching TV can’t exceed half an hour. Playing slides must be disinfected first. Encourage children to make friends but never ask Pia if she wants to, mom I love Pia very much, but she is more concerned with getting it right than wanting it. Dad Raj is just the opposite. He is very Buddhist, and is content, optimistic, happy and humorous. Of course, he is also very kind. He has a high emotional intelligence. daughter playing. The first scene in the film that touched me was when Raj danced with her daughter. Mitu, who moved to a wealthy area, invited noble neighbors to a banquet at home. Pia's favorite song was played. She happily called her father to dance with her. It can be seen that this is an entertainment game they often play, and it is also an Indian. Ability to sing and dance. The most stark contrast appeared. The children were all having a good time. Even the well-bred and reserved noble children joined in to release their natural instincts. On the other hand, the adults holding wine glasses looked at each other in surprise, embarrassment and contempt. The look, is the warm and happy Raj funny? It's even more ironic that each of them is dignified and prudent. It feels like Pia is happier and more naive when she's with her dad, and mom is of course nice too, but she's also about thinking outside the box and keeping things straight. If Dad is freedom, Mom is the rules.
"You can't predict what will happen to Pia in the future" is such a wonderful statement. How many parents are raising their children with their own values, cognition and life experience. We often like to map our denials to our children, thinking that we are right and for the good of the children, so as to deprive the children. The experiences and experiences that should be experienced are only based on assumptions and imaginations. We often selfishly project our own imaginations on our children, so as to cultivate them to become the people we expect, but no one has ever asked our children what they think and feel, what they like and want. Hello". Parents are good for their children, but this kind of good is not equal and objective. We have the responsibility to help children make choices that seem wise, and give some sincere and pertinent advice that may not be perfect and mature, but in the end, we can’t do it for them Make a decision. There are too many contrasts like this in the film. The Mitu couple's elegant temperament covered in luxury goods and the comical contrast of not caring about the image in the poor area, living conditions, living habits, including the contrast between warm and cold human feelings, are too strong, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the concept of class is solidified, all of which are dark and scary. reality. In order to get into the aristocratic school, Raj has been challenging his bottom line, including hypocrisy, bribery, lying, embezzlement, etc. He does not like this kind of himself, so he has always been trembling, and his own nature and values are Fragmented, so it seems out of place in the wealthy area, and does not agree with the business-oriented education concept of aristocratic schools. On the contrary, he met a warm and optimistic family like Shiam in the poor area, and they gained a sincere friendship. Shiam was kind, optimistic, diligent and sincere. In the end, when he knew the truth, he was deceived, and he knew to protect his rights, When preparing to go to school to expose Raj (Shyam's son's free spot in the noble school was taken up by Pia), but because of Pia's words "Uncle, I miss you", Shyam said, "She is also mine. "Daughter" kindness, respect and sincerity towards children are extraordinarily precious. Similarly, in the poor public school that Raj decided to fund, seeing the innocent, hopeful children and the responsible principal made Raj feel at ease and at ease with what he did. This is Raj nature, kind and optimistic, honest and sincere.
As the final theme sublimated, Raj said on the stage: Parents only value their children's abilities, not their character. We used to think that this school (an aristocratic school) could make her knowledgeable. It is not that you are cultivating them in this school, but that they are satisfying you. Education has lost its essence and has become a business... In fact, On the way of raising children, we are constantly meeting ourselves, denying ourselves, and affirming ourselves again. At the beginning of the film, Mitu said excitedly: We can't let Pia receive the same education as us. In the end, Mitu said softly: I just want to make Pia a person like you, confident and considerate.
Just think about it, what kind of people do we want our children to be? It is the ability of parents to have the ability to create better living and educational conditions for their children, but ability does not equal knowledge. May our children be treated gently and tolerantly by this unfair and imperfect world.
