Recently, I started to like Indian movies, probably because Indian movies look more relaxed, but they are not lacking in depth. On the contrary, they are now more resistant to Korean films, which are profound but too heavy. There is no difference between good and bad, just my preference at this stage. Going back to the film itself, let’s break it down into several points: 1. Satire to the media. The media is the vane of public opinion. They should be looking for objectivity and truth, but in fact they are looking for traffic and ratings. The news is not about people themselves. The young people who really pursue the truth are brainwashed, bombed to death, and treated as Natta. 2. The irony of the government to democracy. People can choose the leader they want, so is the election fair? But who of these leaders is really for the people? 3. Some more knowledge about India. (1) The TV station has Hindi and English channels (so are the official languages of this country these two? English is for the high class, Hindi is for the low class.), (2) There are also landlords in the state (and colluding with officials, yes Feudal remnants? What is the nature of Indian society?) Finally, in this movie, I got a glimpse of the caste system. The peasant brothers Nata and Budia belonged to the low caste, and the local leader who sent the TV set (3) is said to be also a low caste. However, there is no obvious contradiction caused by the caste system in the play. (4) Although this film was shot in 10 years, it must have changed a lot during these 10 years, but it also feels really poor. Although China’s rural areas are also very poor, they still feel much better than India. The gap between the rich and the poor in India is really bigger. (5) There are many female reporters in the film, and one of them is quite famous, indicating that women in India can also engage in some high-end professions. (6) Nata brought a pot of water to the toilet, so they really didn't use paper in the toilet, did they wipe it with their hands?
