Speaking of maternal love, people always think of the hardships of pregnancy in October, the severe pain of pregnancy, and the various health risks faced during childbirth. A woman seems to have become great from the first second of becoming a mother.
However, the recently hit Lebanese movie "How Home is a Home" tells us that it is not enough to give birth to a child, and it is even more despicable to have a child without raising it.
In other words, blood relationship is not the most important part of maternal love.
The Indian movie "A Mother's Revenge" fully demonstrates the nature of this kind of maternal love.
The protagonist Davich is a teacher and has a remarried family. The gentle and virtuous woman has always cared for her stepdaughter Eliya, hoping to use her care to make up for the missing maternal love of this young girl.
However, Elia didn't appreciate it. In her eyes, Davich was just a stranger who had no blood relationship with her, and even a third person who occupied the position of her deceased mother's family.
One day, when Eliya went out to a party and returned home, she was gang-raped by four male classmates who had long coveted her beauty. After they succeeded, they also abandoned Alia, who was severely injured by the struggle, on the side of the road.
The bad nature of the case can be called indignation! However, due to the mediocrity of the Indian police, all four criminals were acquitted in court, which made it difficult for Arya, who had been physically and mentally damaged, to accept her. She locked herself in the house all day and fell into autism.
Elijah's haggard face and the criminal's proud face stung Da Weiqi deeply. How could she tolerate the murderer who hurt her daughter so freely! As a result, a bold revenge plan gradually took shape in his mind.
The stepmother, who is not related by blood, embarks on a thrilling crime road in order not to wait to see her stepdaughter.
The whole story is not complicated, and the revenge process is not wonderful, but the victory lies in the delicate and vivid portrayal of Davic's inner emotions.
When she learned that Eliya was raped and seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, Daweiqi did not immediately rush to the bed to cry and cry, but slowly moved to the bed because she was afraid of seeing her daughter hurt.
After seeing Elijah's serious injury, Davich covered her mouth in pain, and the steps under her feet became heavier, because after witnessing all this, she had collapsed.
Afterwards, Davich had to call her husband for help. Not only did she cry and her voice trembled, as if the child had lost her beloved baby, and the daughter was the baby in her heart.
However, as fragile as Davich, when he saw the criminals who had escaped the law at school, she showed a cold and fierce light. When one of the criminals passed by and greeted her with a smile, her whole face was even more visible. Twitching, her eyes straightened with anger, because as the victim's mother, she felt provocation and insult.
After several struggles and thoughts, she began to retaliate against the criminals. The process was thrilling. Faced with powerful criminals and the police who have been tracking her crimes, the thin and weak Davidic often shivered with fear, but she still gritted her teeth. Come here.
All this, Elia never knew, and still rejected David as an outsider.
After learning that one of the rapists was punished and castrated, Elia, who was depressed for a long time, opened the long-closed curtains, raised her head to feel the sunshine outside, tears in her eyes, she felt that this must be the will of God, for herself Recovering justice, but in fact it is the stepmother who has not been recognized, firmly protecting her.
In this regard, Davich just watched silently, without asking for credit. For her, the little relief on Elia's face is already the best reward for herself, and she uses this as a motivation to continue the murderous revenge action.
In this series of detailed emotional portrayals, David’s deep love for Elijah is intertwined, from caring and pity to guarding and tolerance. If it weren’t for a mother, who could give such a thoughtful love? And David overcomes his fragility and becomes tough because of love. Isn't it the legendary "Mother is strong"?
Davich was not Eliya’s biological mother, but she dedicated the love that only a mother could give to Eliya. If the biological mother gave Eliya life, she used her life to save Eliya’s entire life.
At the end of the film, when Elijah, who was kept in the dark, finally knew that the god who had been guarding her was actually the stepmother David, who was ostracized by her, the entanglement in the blood ties in her heart was finally loosened, and her feelings were overwhelming. , Eliya shouted out the "mother" that Davich had been waiting for for a long time.
Maternal love is not simply about giving life, it also lies in the care, care, protection, and companionship and nurturing of children along the way. Without the latter, the blood relationship is just a connection without temperature. On the contrary, it can cross the blood relationship and establish a deep relationship.
Because the essence of maternal love lies in the act of "love", it does not emphasize the identity of "mother", and true love can transcend everything, including blood.
Davich is such a person who knows how to love. She never considers that she does not have the identity of a biological mother, nor does she mind that Eliya does not accept her as a mother, but only thinks about how to love Eliya, and finally gains Eliya’s love. In response, she truly became her mother.
What is a mother? It was not the moment she gave birth to the child, but the moment she wanted to love that child.
The Indian national treasure star Hiri Daiyu plays the role of Indian national treasure. She started acting at the age of 3 and won awards at the film festival at the age of 13. So far, she has appeared in more than 200 films. Not many actresses who can independently support the box office without relying on actors.
In the film, she gave an exquisite performance, especially the multi-level emotions of the characters, with a very precise grasp, creating a vivid and touching image of a mother for the audience.
Unfortunately, last year Daiyu died unexpectedly while attending a friend's wedding. "A Mother's Revenge" is the last film she starred in during her lifetime, which is very memorable for fans.
However, I have to say that the flaws of this film are also very obvious.
The high-level imitation of the "black bus gang rape case" in the first half did not become an effective text of the story, nor did it have any social significance, except for the unexplained lengthening of the film. Ingenious layout, tension is there, but it is really not enjoyable.
In contrast, the Japanese movie "Confession", which is quite similar to its story frame, is much smarter. Not only is the plot fast-paced, but the revenge process is stormy, making people breathe tightly. , I couldn't help but reflect on the social causes of the whole incident. In the subtle way, the face and the inside of the story were all done, and "A Mother's Revenge" is a bit monotonous, except for maternal love.
Of course, the biggest flaw in the film may come from "Made in China."
At the end of the story, a row of subtitles was actually put on, saying that David finally surrendered, but this is not in the original Indian version, and it is obviously a "Chinese special edition."
This operation is nothing more than to emphasize the correct concept-no matter how excusable it is, it must be acted within the legal framework. However, it destroyed the Indian culture carried by the film.
The core of "A Mother's Revenge" is actually the most traditional Indian heroism film, but the traditional tough guy has been replaced by a weak mother.
At the same time, India is an ancient country with religious civilization, and heroes are regarded as the incarnation of gods in the world, solving problems that cannot be solved by human beings. He only needs to follow religious doctrines, not human laws. He pursues It is a simple way of punishing traitors and eliminating evil, rather than modernizing things in accordance with the law.
This is why, at the last minute, the police who insisted on defending justice would make concessions to Davic. In addition to moving, cultural and national conditions are also there.
In the film, two "ceremonies" were specially arranged to emphasize David's personality.
One is the dialogue between the detective and Davich, the purpose is to give her divinity.
The second is David’s visit to a painting exhibition with the theme of the Hindu epic "Mahabharata", which describes an ancient story of revenge. The purpose is to legitimize David’s subsequent crimes. The "law" here is the law of religion.
So, you can imagine how funny the last row of subtitles is.
