Miscellaneous afterthought

I have always liked watching Indian movies. When I was a child, I had a deep impression of a bloody crocodile hatred. When I was in college, I even went to buy a disc to review it.

Later, the millionaires in the slums made a big noise in Bollywood, the stars on the earth and so on.

I watched this starting line recently and saw that the two couples did more and more outrageous things for their baby to go to school. I always felt that they were in a mood where they would never give up in order to achieve a goal, and then I thought about the fact that they would do whatever it takes to achieve a goal. It is also very inspiring to achieve it. If they knew in the beginning that they were going to be really poor for their daughter to go to school, would they still try it in the first place? It is still more and more absurd step by step as a last resort. Looking back at the efforts already made, I am more unwilling to give up, so I can only bite the bullet and continue to go on. Sometimes people are just like this, and unknowingly, they will be pushed onto a path that they are not sure if they want to go or not, and they are so busy running on this road that they have no time to stop and think about why they want to go. Is it really worth it?

After watching the movie, there is always a feeling that they have been busy in vain. They moved to remedial classes and bribed themselves to pretend to be poor step by step, but in the end they gave up the opportunity to go to the "best" school. It seems that everything has returned to the original point, but maybe from The baby's going to school is the starting point, but their souls have been sublimated throughout the process.

Some things I still don't understand why the feelings between the poor are pure and simple. Or in a poor environment, these characters can be better displayed. It is precisely because everyone has less that they must help each other to survive together. And in affluent environments, everyone has a lot more, and they don't need to help each other. Everyone can be self-sufficient, and they are more worried about losing everything they already have, so they become sensitive and suspicious.

Indian movies still dare to make them. They can say that poverty is everywhere in this country. Businessmen and the government have been squeezing the resources of the poor. They are unable to fight. The only educational opportunity that can change fate is also being squeezed. However, the protagonist of this movie is also poor at the beginning. The reason for becoming a local tyrant is not through education, but through your own business acumen. There is really not only one way to succeed.

Is the principal a good guy or a bad guy? When the principal talks about her own experiences, the painful memories of her childhood seem to be tormenting her all the time. Is it really lucky for those poor kids to get into that school by lottery, to suffer the discrimination and isolation they don't deserve at their age. Maybe the principal is depriving one poor school after another, thinking that I'm helping another kid avoid the pain I've been through
