Advantage 1: This film is very beautiful in art. It is imaginative, especially the design of stealing money into the womb of the goddess, and the beating heart of the tree roots of the protagonist's grandma. The imagination is amazing.

Advantage 2: This movie is actually a metaphor. For this metaphor, I don’t even care about a lot of bugs. So far? Why not just put it a few centimeters outside the flour defensive circle and let Hasta eat next to him, and the protagonist slowly stretches out one hand to take Hasta’s gold coin safely inside the flour ring, or untie its belt , Why not coat the whole body with flour to create an invincible defensive cover? Why a rope has never been broken after decades of use? This is probably the best quality rope of the last century, better than the 21st century fiber rope. , Why does the protagonist directly kill the second old man who stole into the womb? Why not cooperate with him and trick him into the womb of the goddess and trap him in the flour circle. The protagonist only needs to take the rope regularly and prevent him from coming up again. Let him always steal gold coins to exchange food with the protagonist like a miner below. The protagonist will not need to go down in his life after upgrading from a miner to a miner. ).

What is the metaphor? The metaphor is actually the use of opium drugs to "steal" money from all Indians during the British colonization of India.

In fact, the director mentioned in the early stage of the film that the male second (the old man who bought the protagonist's gold coins) repeatedly asked the British colonial army for opium permits to sell opium drugs shipped from the United Kingdom. He mentioned many times that it was legal to sell drugs in that era. , You only need a permit that even the indigenous Indians can sell it publicly like them.

The external image designed by Hasta is like an overdose of drug users, which concentrates the characteristics of all drug users, skinny and ulcerated. The doll made of white powder is actually white powder opium. The director deliberately chose white flour because the flour is like white powder. Hasta actually represents the country of “India” in the last century. The British used opium to “steal” the money of the Indian people. In addition, they used the stolen money to buy bags of white powder to make weapons (flour defensive covers) to make the Indians There is nothing to do with them, no resistance, so that they can retreat every time they steal money.

Originally, it would be an eternal cycle, but the male protagonist (the British colonial party) was too greedy. Later, he was no longer satisfied with stealing a small amount of their money, but was ready to take away their money bag and everything (land). , Country, religion, culture), but one did not get it right, so he shot himself in the foot and made India completely independent (the protagonist in the movie also mentioned India’s successful independence when he was old).
