After watching the documentary, I didn't hesitate to search for the background of the film in accordance with the once-proud film critic's code. I was amazed to find that the beautiful Preeti Mukherjee, the protagonist, actually turned into a red card prostitute in the end. It is incomprehensible that it is still, voluntary.
It is unimaginable why this little girl who once said she wanted to be an actress would choose an unbearable career. Maybe life forced, maybe money lure. All in all, this move was a surprise.
Poverty in India has resulted in the mercenary of many parents, just as the fate of the two young actors in the recent "Slumdog Millionaire" after winning the award is just to be slapped by their parents and shown off by their parents. The parents even couldn't wait to ask the directors to convert the promised children's education funds into cash to take on the adults' own lives.
The same parents, Chinese parents gouge out their hearts for their children, but... the difference is...
Is it really love for the country?
No, I just think that poverty murders the conscience.
