A man from the United States, when he first set foot on Indian soil, he looked at everything around him with surprise, even horror. Cultural collision is inevitable. At the time of homesickness, I called my ex-girlfriend. I wanted to comfort me, but I got apathy. After being knocked down by a bicycle, I saw a hamburger advertisement in the newspaper and madly took a taxi to Mumbai. I wanted to go to a city "relatively close to civilization" to experience the long-awaited fast food in my hometown. In the end, I only bought a veggie hamburger with an unorthodox taste. In the fast food restaurant, an American senior reminded him that he was awakened from his dream: Since I can't change this ancient Asian country with 5000 civilizations, which is very different from the "Western civilization", why not try to adapt myself? ?
In the colorful paint festival, anyone on the street is the target of others with paint, which indirectly shows the inclusiveness of Indian society. Tod went from avoiding, to being stunned, to fighting back joyfully, that was his response to the tolerance of Indian society to himself. Bathing in the holy river water is a baptism from the body to the spirit. The clothes are dirty and wet, but the soul is clean. Because the world is flat. With the help of Puru, I changed clothes and went to work, and I turned out to be wearing traditional Indian clothes that were loose and loose. Although it is not as formal as a suit, it is comfortable to wear. Allow employees to decorate their desks arbitrarily, allow idols to appear in the office, and no longer dislike the cattle strolling leisurely around the company. I am more tolerant and feel comfortable.
The characteristics of Western culture represented by the United States are like hamburgers, with the emphasis on simplicity and speed. There will not be too much red tape between people, there is little contact between family members, and the relationship between men and women is relatively casual. Burgers that can be eaten by one person are more often eaten by themselves. Seems independent and unrestrained, but lonely. The oriental culture represented by India is like rice, which can be matched with different ingredients. Whether it’s the "luxury" rice served in the exquisite tableware eaten at the landlord’s home, served with curry and soup, or the rice served at the door of the “circuit consultant” uncle living in a slum, it only comes with rice with eggs and pancakes; different foods Dharma, different sharers bring different feelings. It takes careful taste to resolve many unnecessary misunderstandings. For the same thing, people may express their feelings in different ways. Just like the phone that Tod thought was stolen, the old man (the little boy who gave the pen and paint to Tod) took pains to draw the pattern and returned it carefully. There is no thanks a million, but there is a family’s sincere gratitude. The language barrier is not a reason for negligence. Every love in the world needs to be sincerely loved back.
Inadvertent little encouragement makes a good employee. Full respect for culture and some bad fate made this excellent employee a weakness for tod. Maybe friends who have watched the TV series of the same name will be a little disappointed that the asha in this film is not as beautiful and charming as the TV series. However, this asha looks nothing inferior to me, even more attractive than the asha in the TV series. Because this asha has the toughness of a working woman and the most important thing: the "third eye".
Humans don't have a third eye, but if they have it, they can see things that the naked eye can't see. So what is invisible to the naked eye? Is it love? Or an unknown future? Or is it the gain or loss of every decision?
An open ending. The outsourcing service was transferred to Shanghai, and all this in India was over. Tod, who returned to Seattle, made himself a cup of tea with a lot of sugar like the one in India, and put a "third eye" on the forehead of Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States. At this moment, India Zhengtai called his decorated mobile phone and remembered the Bollywood music set for him by Asha. He smiled knowingly, and the film ended. I don't know what tod and asha's third eye will see.
