It's not a lie that a good actor can make a good movie.
Laila, played by Kalci Kershland in Margarita with a Straw (2015), is undoubtedly a myth, as if transporting us into a dreamy fairy tale world, but the joys and sorrows of reality are more Let this transparent, innocent and lovely Laila grow up laughing and laughing in the breeze.
The folk music with Indian style is beautiful and quiet, gradually entering the hearts of the people. It does not have the singing and dancing of Bollywood in the past, but reminds me of the string music in Rey's "Apu Trilogy".
Of course, the success of the film also lies in the vivid details of the skewers in the film, which activate the fun, tenacity and peace of Indian nature. Suffering from cerebral palsy, but optimistic and optimistic, always in a wheelchair, and a little rebellious, Laila has experienced four ignorant and clearly identifiable loves before and after, although she herself was finally determined.
Druff, a college classmate, paralyzed from the lower limbs, in a wheelchair, is amused by nature, and he can bring joy to Laila at any time. Laila also always took out the straw without hesitation and inserted it into his drink bottle to suck. He stared at the other female classmates, but said seriously "I'm only marrying you" to Laila, which made Laila laugh.
When Laila is fascinated by the school band's frontman, handsome boy Nima, Druff shakes her wheelchair, blocks her, scolds her for turning to someone else, and calls her "idiot", Lila responds "asshole", which only makes the viewer The person could not help laughing.
Laila wrote a lyric for Nima's band, and her girlfriend Samira and Nima performed the song together at the venue, and it was a success, but the female awardee used the title "disabled girl", It's like we always use the word "disabled and strong" to refer to Laila, the angry Laila refused to accept the award, and everyone was comforting her. She felt that her personal dignity had suffered a great shame, and she only hoped to be comforted by Nima. But Nima said lightly that I, like everyone else, just want you to be happy. Full of infatuation, but the result is just wishful thinking, all the dreams during this time, all came to nothing.
It turned out, "I really did an idiot, I became a fool!", Laila said sadly to her mother. She didn't have the heart to enter the gate of Delhi University anymore. She rocked her wheelchair alone under the shadow of the whirling trees, thinking in a daze, but at the same time she didn't know where she was going. Mother's comfort, let her slowly dissipate the swollen knot. Her parents helped her secretly apply for the opportunity to study in the United States. When the acceptance letter was put in front of Laila's eyes, she couldn't believe it came so quickly.
Mom flew her to New York with her. Snowflakes fluttering, this is a rare winter scene in India. After applying for a full scholarship, the school hired a nanny for her, and her mother took care of her. In class, the teacher asked them to write a composition based on the materials he provided. Lyra listened attentively and recorded it: "New Year's Eve, you're on a boat, you hear the melodious sound of a cello, you're eating oranges, someone is wearing a blue coat, and you tell someone you love, a very private things, without reservations.”
Teacher Jos assigns his male classmate, Cydley, to help Laila type. This is an authentic American handsome guy, open-minded and cheerful. Just when Laila hesitated, she unwittingly participated in a demonstration in Union Square, which made her meet Kahanum, a blind beauty, which can be described as a quirky wonder. Not seeing the world, but touching reality everywhere, Laila opened her eyes.
Kahanum said that I have lived in seven countries successively. My mother is from Pakistan, my father is from Bangladesh, and I have also lived in Madasgas. An authentic international citizen. Gradually, their acquaintance made them become close friends who talk about everything. An unintentional touch made Kahanum, who couldn't help it, boldly kiss Laila. Lyra, who felt strange, did not resist. Kahanum said excitedly, Laila, you don't know how beautiful you are.
Kahanum took her to a New York bar, singing loudly, Leila brought a margarita and happily inserted a straw, the wine made her dizzy, and she was afraid of the omnipotent Kahanum next to her. what. In this way, Kahanum became the backbone of Laila's ignorant life, guiding and ruling Laila's life.
Laila decides to move in with Kahanum, and for the sake of the nanny's life, she makes the nanny live in her own room. Laila's mother returned to India with confidence, of course her mother did not know anything about what happened between Laila and Kahanum.
Laila asked Kahanum when she found out that she was a "lesbian". Ka said that when she was 14 years old, she told her parents a few years ago that they had experienced rage and rage and wailing, and gradually her mother accepted it. Laila said that I still don't know my sexuality, which is a question she has always had in her heart. While studying at the handsome Cydley's house, the two develop a natural relationship, and after the excitement, Laila still doesn't know what she is.
In doubt, Layla took Kahanum back to his home in Delhi, allowing Kahanum to experience the warmth and happiness of Layla's family. Laila's younger brother, the Monu, a cute little kid, took them to play cricket together. It's just that Layla told Kahanum that he had a passion with Seidel, and Kahanum was angry. Laila says I've never been sure if I'm gay or not.
And when Laila told her mother that she was "bisexual", the depressed mother lost her temper at her, then sobbed alone, took off her hood in front of the mirror, it turned out that she had colon cancer and had been undergoing treatment. After Dad told Laila the truth, Laila came to the hospital sadly, holding her mother's hand tightly, the mother and daughter hugged each other, and the crying mother said please forgive me. Laila shook her head, trying to comfort her mother without letting her say any more. Laila told Kahanum that I couldn't go back to New York to study, I wanted to stay with my mother. Kahanum understands Lyra and flies back to New York alone.
Mom is still gone. During the funeral ceremony, Laila asked her father to play the usual tapes and amused the audience when her mother's whispers came out. There is joy in sorrow. This is the optimism that is unique to the unique nation of India, which is suffering. Since then, the family of four watching TV has become a family of three, and the middle of the sofa is empty, and Laila goes over and squeezes Dad's hand. The loving father spoke very little, but buried the pain in his heart and kept his children from seeing.
Finally, Laila went to the barbershop and had her hair cut short. There was a call to ask her out and she said I have another appointment. What is this date. Lila, who became fresh and cheerful, came to the cafe in high spirits, inserted Margarita with a straw, raised her glass by herself, and drank happily in front of the mirror.
Her self-confidence, her laughter, all showed that she had an inner opinion, she was no longer ignorant, and no longer doubted, she finally got the inspiration of her body and mind from the pain, this, only Laila herself knew, after all She's a smart girl, as the poet Rumi said at the end of the credits: "Where you hurt is where the light will shine."
