Self-deprecating

The story begins like this, the protagonist Newton, a government employee, and people in the same office spend time playing cards, "no bribes, no work." But the young Mr. Newton was different, he wanted to make a difference. So he took voting equipment and related personnel, resolutely went to the conflict zone to complete the task of free and fair elections. The helicopter sent them to the jungle, and the situation was turbulent, so they were protected by the army. But the army commander told Newton that it is not safe here. You can do this. Voting in sensitive areas is done by soldiers. Newton said: But I am the supervisor of the polling station. Therefore, even if the polling place is in a dilapidated classroom, Newton has to clean it up and insist on having a venue that meets the requirements of the documents. Even in the face of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who speak different languages, Newton insisted on explaining the voting procedures to them, telling them that this was the largest election in this country. But, so what? The outside world is vigorous again, and the tribe has its own laws. For them, it is only at this moment that they have heard of the names of these party candidates, and they know nothing about the others. Moreover, these confused old people came to participate in the election because of the threat of the army. The purpose is to show the world the appearance of Indian democracy in front of the international media. Now you tell me that voting is a right, which is ridiculous. So the only thing they care about, the most questioned is, how much reward will the vote bring? What are the benefits? This Indian film lacking singing and dancing has greatly satirized the grassroots democratic elections. In the face of the military commander's remarks that "voting machines are like toys", the roads, electricity, water, and social justice that Newton promoted seem ridiculous. His due diligence, his confrontation, and his perseverance are so weak. At the beginning of the film, the scientist Newton changed the world by revealing that everyone is equal before nature and smoothing out differences. Without waiting for the end of the film, we all know that in front of the background rules of the whole society, the protagonist Newton's persistence is a futile effort from beginning to end, just like the "clown" in his partner's mouth. "Keep your honesty and integrity, and the country will develop with you" sounds like a naive ideal. But in fact, no matter what kind of atmosphere and phenomenon you are in, being able to stick to what you think is right is already a kind of "self-deprecating" remarkable.
