"What if the whole family has no income?"
"I'm afraid the virus will not come, we will starve to death first."
At 8 pm on March 24, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that from 12 midnight, all India will be closed on the 21st. Except for necessary activities such as shopping for daily necessities and medical services, no one is allowed to go out. The next day, there was a surging tide of "returning home" in major cities in India, and the roads were full of people carrying their belongings on foot.
For the closure of the city, after this Spring Festival, everyone is familiar with it. For the poor, the lockdown is undoubtedly a disaster. Everyone is worried: many poor people in India are getting "daily wages" and stop talking. How many people will starve to death after the city is closed?
I have always had a soft spot for Indian cinema. In addition to such household names as "Three Silly Bollywood", "Padman" and "Wrestling Dad", I am particularly impressed by "A Mother's Revenge" and "Grandma". Who would have thought that the liberation time of India is not a few years away from China, but the gap between the rich and the poor in India and the status of women are simply incomprehensible?
"A Mother's Revenge" tells the story of a daughter who went to a party, was kidnapped by four second-rate sons into a car, and after being ravaged by turns, was thrown into a stinky ditch. The daughter was tortured in an inhuman form and had a nervous breakdown, but the four second-rate sons were released by the court on the spot. "God didn't always exist, so she created the mother ." As a biology teacher, the mother used her resourcefulness to make the four gangsters get the punishment they deserved.
The story takes place in the upper class. The family lives in the villa area. The mother is a biology teacher and the father is also a successful businessman. Still, in the face of her daughter being raped, the criminal can still get away with it. The father punched the criminal in court, but was immediately arrested and imprisoned.
How ironic! When the legal system is not sound, no matter how rich a person is, he will inevitably be victimized by a traitor.
This is a movie based on true events. It is conceivable that rape is commonplace in India, and Indian law is also bizarre when dealing with similar cases. Where is the safety and dignity of a woman's life?
Coincidentally, there is also an Indian movie "Grandma", which also tells the story of the family's revenge after a 10-year-old girl is raped. The difference is that the little girl's parents are submissive, and in order to keep her job, they pretend that nothing happened. The grandmother could not swallow this breath, and studied hard to slaughter, successfully seduced the rich second generation, and castrated him.
The law does not advocate revenge, however, such revenge movies make people addicted to watching, and it is a delight to see justice being done.
After watching the movie, I couldn't help thinking: How did a kind person get on the road of revenge?
1. The gap between ideal and reality is too large
As we all know, in this country, India is full of cases of women being sexually assaulted. But harsh religious legislation demands a woman's reputation for chastity. The wicked can go unpunished, but the victims have to pay a heavy price for it.
In the movie "Grandma", the suspect is a son of a powerful person, and usually even the police would not dare to offend him. Accusing him will not only require high legal fees, but he will definitely be retaliated by him, and he will not even be able to keep his job. The poor family needs to survive, and the daughter and son-in-law can only afford to suffer. The grandmother was full of resentment, looking at the ignorant granddaughter, who should have grown up carefree, but said that she wanted to grow up earlier to help the family. The criminals still live happily, and I don't know how many girls will be harmed.
The cruel reality and the vacancy in the law forced the grandmother to bravely protect her granddaughter.
Using violence to control violence should not be advocated, but in such a country and environment, my grandmother is undoubtedly a hero. When morality and law could not protect her family, she bravely took up the butcher's knife. Such behavior is not in disregard of the law, but in the name of justice.
One day, a woman living on the island suddenly became ruthless and killed all men, women and children on the island with a sickle, even her childhood best friend refused to let go. Is she crazy? Yes, she hopes not to be domestically abused. She hopes that her husband can treat her daughter well instead of "stroking" her. She hopes that she will not be used as a tool for men on the island to express their desires. She hopes that her best friend can help her and her daughter escape from here. , live a normal life. However, the indifferent reality made him lose his daughter and the belief to live. This is the movie "The Beginning and End of the Kim Funan Murder Case". Revenge is a wrong approach, but it is also the final blow after people lose hope and belief. If even life is not rare, what is there to be afraid of?
2. The understanding of human nature has undergone a 180-degree turn
Good and evil is an eternal topic of philosophers all over the world.
When we scold someone, the worst thing we scold is to call him "inhuman!" And if a bad person finds that he still has some kindness and kindness, he will say, "It's still human." It can be seen that we all agree that human nature is inherently good. of. However, human nature will change with the changes of the environment. It is not terrible to do evil, but to be afraid of people who will not change their nature!
The grandmother followed the suspect many times, and found that the police actually had a nest with the suspect. The police specially collected black money for the rich and powerful to deal with these messy things. She also found that the suspect's father beat him after knowing the truth, and the suspect turned around and called a prostitute. and beat each other.
Perhaps human nature is good, but when encountering heinous people, you can only cry for freedom and justice in person!
3. Pursuit of fairness and justice
When you kick a dog, guess what the dog does? Yes, the dog will come and bite you. And human beings are thinking animals, why can't they take revenge? Human instinct is to pursue beautiful things. And when one's own interests are violated, one will feel uncomfortable, and when a person is in extreme pain, the discomfort will turn into hatred. Therefore, when the legal system is not sound, when people's most basic security cannot be guaranteed, revenge is the simplest justice and the most precious emotion in society. It's just that they have been suppressed for a long time, endured for too long, unable to resist, and finally adopted the most extreme method, just to pursue fairness and justice, not just the little benefit of living.
"To live or to perish, that's a question worth considering."
India has always been a troubled country. Under the leadership of Gandhi, the country that people finally built up has been at war with Pakistan for a long time because of historical problems. Not long ago, the Indian government suddenly announced that it would abolish the denomination of 500 and 1,000 currencies, and even required electronic payment across the board. Today, the new crown pneumonia is not only raging in the upper class, but also positive patients have been detected in the slums. After the closure of the city, homeless people fleeing everywhere, further aggravating the spread of the virus.
The gap between the rich and the poor in India is so large that many people cannot escape the clutches of poverty and inequality throughout their lives. However, "don't die in silence, just break out in silence", maybe one day the submissive people have had enough and rise up?
Most of the time people are forgetful, and some things are in the past. But I hope that, for the sake of a better world, the country can seize the opportunity of every outbreak of social justice, so that more people can believe that there is still justice and equality in this world, and we can look forward to beauty!
