The director of this film is Mira Nair. I remember the last time I saw her film was "Monsoon Dinner", a film about the Indian middle class, and that film was optimistic. This film is completely different. Watching this film, I feel like I am watching a desperate career depicting the bottom class in India, and there is no hope at all. In this world, there are only slums of pimps, tramps, prostitutes, thieves, drug dealers, and addicts. No one gives you hope, and if there is hope, it will be shattered and destroyed! Chaipo hopes to earn 500 yuan to go home. Although he was ruthlessly abandoned by his mother and brothers, he hopes to rescue the 16-year-old girl, but the money was stolen by the addict to sell drugs, and the 16-year-old girl eventually turned into a prostitute. , and finally had to raise the dagger and rush to Baba. The prostitute is doing well, but the man she found was a pimp. She had a daughter, but was sent to a welfare home by the government on the grounds that her mother was a prostitute. The 16-year-old girl hopes to become a woman of Baba, but in the end she goes with the client's car. The final result can be imagined. Finally, the camera stared at Chai Po's eyes for a long time, is it pain? helpless? despair? anger? There is no hope anyway.
