Krishna, an 11-year-old Indian teenager, burned his brother's bicycle because of an emotional dispute, and was kicked out of the house by his mother, who told him not to go home until he earned enough 500 rupees (nearly ¥100). So Krishna came to Mumbai from the countryside, looking for opportunities to make money, and started life as a street child with drug dealers, addicts, pimps, prostitutes, and prostitutes.
For nearly two hours, my heart has been in pain. The word "struggle" is all over the eyes, but none of the people in the film can escape their predetermined fate: Chillum died of a drug overdose, and only four street children used the door to carry him on the road; Nepalese girls are full of hope for the future. Anxious and Xiaoxiao longing, they started to pick up customers, just for a promise from the liar, and she didn't know that all this was just a warm trick by the liar and the maid to force her into submission; Manju was taken in on the street as a homeless child, because her mother was a prostitute and the government Decided to take over custody until she turned 17, which means that the mother and daughter will be deprived of the opportunity to be together for more than ten years in the future. Frightened silence... At the end of the film, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is here. Hundreds of people carry the idol of Ganesh and take to the streets to revel. These inconspicuous little people, who are familiar or familiar, are all drowned in the crowd. And although Krishna suffered a lot in Mumbai, she still didn't know how to earn enough 500 rupees to go home to her mother. She could only sit in an empty street corner crying, her eyes full of confusion and despair.
Mira Nair came from a documentary background, and she is very familiar with this film, poking at the weakest underbelly in the darkest corner, both ruthless and accurate. This is her first feature film. In fact, it is a mixture of feature film and documentary. The main actors are directly the Mumbai street children. It will be a masterpiece if it is made into a documentary. Compared with the bright and moving "Monsoon Wedding Banquet" that later made her savage overseas, "Morning Mumbai" is a group of despairing, but more vivid: stalls full of flies; low shacks on street corners; muddy after rain. Streets; rampaging tricycles; passers-by laughing and watching the excitement; old buildings in the colonial era... a complete documentary style, recording the most ordinary low-level life, because it is real, it is more and more shocking. Indian officials and people are more tolerant. Although "Morning Mumbai" is not as difficult as "Blind Well", it is not as difficult to pass the political trial and see the light of day. Mira Nair has not been constantly pointed at the spine and scolded for "do your best to capture the dark side of society to cater to foreigners." ".
