This is also a very touching film. After watching it, I was deeply poisoned. The dialogues, plots, scenes and other content of the characters in the film will pop out of my mind from time to time and I can't help but recollect.
I think of the Indian movies I have occasionally glimpsed before. To be honest, it seems that there are only the same big double eyelid eyes and the Indian dance music with serious ethnic characteristics, as well as the shiny nose stings on the noses of Indian girls.
The theme of the film is beautiful homesickness. It was because I accidentally changed the channel while watching TV. When I saw it, it was estimated that I had already put a short paragraph. The content was from a person named Gogol because he was ridiculed by everyone in the school class and his name was as weird as a Russian writer. The father who named himself was dissatisfied: the parents of immigrants and the second-generation immigrants, Gogol, also lived in the United States, but Kung-Gory had lived in a so-called liberal and democratic environment in the United States since he was born. The Indian culture represented has a collision of ideas. In his life, he always thought about changing the names he didn't like, falling in love with white girls, and rarely going home to fight with his family. Until one day his father suddenly died away without warning. Gogol regretted not being able to accompany his father and mother and woke up, he began to reflect on his rebellious behavior, and voluntarily accepted a lot of Indian traditional culture according to his father’s wishes to him during his lifetime, and married an Indian girl and grew up gradually. .
Hehe, I read it with gusto, and I quite agree with this cultural concept of recognizing one's ancestors no matter where they go.
Personally, I also like the portrayal of the characters in the film. Gogol’s mother: After the sudden death of her husband, she experienced the kind of loneliness and helplessness that permeated her heart and spleen, to the grief-tolerant face of reality, to the psychology of slowly becoming strong and finding life's sustenance again. The journey, it makes people feel moved and gratified...I have to say that the director is successful.
Only by searching on Google did I know the director and author of the film. Because I like it, write down one by one: Indian director Miranell living in the United States adapted the novel of the same name by the American Indian writer Jhumpa Lahiri.
