On September 6, 2018, the Supreme Court of India ruled that the long-standing Article 377 of the Penal Code was overturned, and homosexuality was no longer considered a crime in India.
As Bollywood's first mainstream same-sex film to be released on a large scale in India, "Rise of the Real" inherits the usual comedy and song and dance styles of Bollywood films, showing the gay and lesbian community in Indian society in a more witty way. The state of the family relationship between the parents and the hardships of coming out of the closet, at the same time, the film also spends a lot of time describing and showing the sincere love between Kadick and Harman.
The difficulty of coming out of the closet under the influence of traditional ideas and reality
Kadik and Harman were born into different families, but shared the same traditional values, not because Kadik's father was a blacksmith and Harman's father was a scientist. Influenced by traditional concepts and social reality at the time, when Haman came home to come out to his parents, the parents could not understand this kind of love, and naturally regarded this kind of unfamiliar love as a "sickness" and tried to Fantasy brings Haman "back to life" through "spells". At that time, the provisions of Article 377 of the Indian Criminal Code undoubtedly made this situation worse. Harman is in a dilemma when he wants to not disobey his parents, and at the same time wants to be with the person he truly loves.
Improve self-identity, in order to insist on being yourself
Self-identity is a very important quality of being a homosexual. As Cardik said in the movie, "My sexual orientation is my own sexual orientation, not yours." Everyone is a unique life, and it is because of differences that people have feelings and know how to cherish and tolerate. Cadick is a person with a strong sense of self-identity, so he will speak up for Haman and himself, so he has the courage to face criticism and doubts. In contrast, Harman is in the stage of searching for self-identity. From listening to his parents preparing to get married to finally making up his mind to be with Kadick, it can be seen that only with enough self-identification can we insist on being ourselves and have the opportunity to go. persuade others. Speaking of this, I think of a game called "A Gay's Life". Many options in it are related to self-identification. You may be brave enough to come out to others, or you may be rejected because of your lack of self-identity. Forced to endure repeated "corrective treatments".
Don't let the choice you make now be a lifelong regret
It's not a game, it's not a movie. You're going to be miserable from your wedding night, can you be sure to pretend for a lifetime? Can you play a faithful husband? ...we don't have many chances to be heroes once, now you decide who you want to be? In this story, to be a hero or a passerby?
This is what Kadik said to Haman after he learned that he had chosen to marry. Although Harman believes that marriage with Kusu is just a form of marriage, after all, marriage is protected by law. Once you choose to get married, everything will have infinite variables. The result will definitely not be as good as he thought, and everything will only turn into regret. So, in the face of such a choice, do you insist on being yourself and stay with the person you love, even if you can't get married, or do you compromise and marry so that both parties become victims? You only have one life, your life is your own life after all, leaving no regrets is the answer.
We'll keep running for our love
Kadick's love for Haman can be said to be a whole-hearted effort. Even if he was beaten by Haman's father, he did not back down. Although he hesitated, he finally understood that his love had to be won by himself and pursued by himself. And Harman's love for Kadik, if not so brave, is still sincere and deep. He is willing to choose to get married in order to protect Kadick, and exchange his future for the life of the person he loves. It can be regarded as a kind of deep love. The running of two people for love is the epitome of the tens of thousands of gay groups behind them sticking to love. In order to protect their love, in order for their love to see the light, they run and work hard.
From history to reality, every step of fighting for equal rights for same-sex groups is not easy
Article 377 of the Indian Penal Code can be traced back to the British colonial period. The Indian Penal Code of 1861 was introduced into the British legal system, and in Chapter 16, Section 377, homosexuality was classified as a "sexual act contrary to the laws of nature", and those who violated this article were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. In 2001, India began to embark on the road of "anti-criminal law 377", but this road was extremely difficult. In 2009, the Delhi High Court ruled that Article 377 of the Criminal Code was invalid on the grounds of "violating human rights", legalizing same-sex sexual activity, and the gay community ushered in a short-lived dawn. However, in 2013 the Supreme Court of India overturned the Delhi High Court ruling, ruling that Section 377 of the Penal Code remains in force. In 2016, the "Anti-Criminal Law Article 377" campaign group submitted a petition to the Supreme Court, hoping that the Supreme Court would review Article 377 of the Criminal Law. On July 11, 2018, the Indian government stated its position on Article 377 of the Criminal Code to the Supreme Court, saying that the government would not challenge the appeal to repeal the article, but would obey the Supreme Court's decision. On September 6 of the same year, the Supreme Court of India overturned the long-standing Article 377 of the Criminal Code, and homosexuality was no longer considered a crime in India. Indian Supreme Court Chief Justice Deepak Misra said: "The criminalisation of same-sex sexual activity is unreasonable, arbitrary and clearly unconstitutional." Another Justice Indu Malhotra said: "History owes the LGBT community An apology." At the same time, in this film, Kadik and Harman never held hands or kissed in public, but encouraged each other with a brotherly hug, which also reflected the social reality at the time. .
People say love shouldn't cross the line
They are people who have never loved
like a bunch of fools can't understand the colors of the world
They think they understand us
but not
We may end, but the passion burns forever
The ashes of love will give off light and heat
We stare at each other hazy forever
It's a dream of happiness
love will not be extinguished
not driven by fear
Ashes emit light and heat
will grow out of pain
make us stronger
Facing every storm
No matter how cruel the knife
Will not cut off the roots of love
Love is battle and happiness
We always find a way to be together
Because the heart can't be controlled
I don't care what people say
We run for love, as Lyra goes after Juliet, and as Magenu goes after Romeo. We need to be free from the bondage in our hearts to be with our lover, and until then, we will keep running for our love.
