The new movie "The Barber of Destiny" I just found is still a comedy, and it looks very good. Come and recommend it. The film is 140 minutes long, and the first half of it is forging the situation in the village "and attracting the male protagonist, the backward village environment and the grayish-yellow tone are a bit boring (must hold back, watching the "pupils fighting" in the north and south is also funny).
but! Don't worry! After reading the front, when the back is reversed, it is ironic enough, slapped in the face, and cool enough! There are a lot of funny and witty pictures in it (the laugh points are well distributed, and the music is also in place), which cannot be conveyed by words and pictures. I really recommend everyone to take a look. It's definitely not a loss!
No.1 toilet battle
The story takes place in a village called Qiulanguri in India . In order to make it easier for the villagers to go to the toilet, rather than in the grass, the village chief built a public toilet, a toilet built in the north.
For such a small toilet, an opening ceremony will be held . At the ceremony, the southerners and the northerners quarreled again . The northerners believed that the toilets were built in the north, so the southerners could not use them; the southerners believed that the public toilets could be used by everyone.
So the scene was chaotic.
While everyone was arguing, a dog came out of it. Well, the people didn't go, but the dogs went first.
In order not to let the two sides fight, the village chief went up first, but found that there was no water halfway, and the people outside were already in full swing.
Although the toilet was demolished in the end, after all, the last time a school was built, southerners refused to let northerners go to school, and it was demolished in the end. In short, don't think about either side.
No.2 North-South struggle / Primary school chicken fight
The south and the north each have a leader, both sons of the village chief.
The eldest son, Ratna, belongs to the north, and the younger son, Maddie, belongs to the south . With these two, in the past, those petty fights rose directly to "gang fights", looking down on each other and admitting that they were no worse than each other's bloodline, and they had the momentum to die without regrets for dignity and honor.
There is a very funny scene . There is a big brother in the north. He is full of blood. He will "hack them to death" at every turn. He is a man who is easy to "go with blood" .
He would take off his shoes before drying the rack and lay them neatly beside him, probably for fear of being damaged.
In the toilet fight, he took off his shoes for the first time, the boss yelled to stop, he put it on again, and the second time he took off his shoes, he just started working hard. Everyone knows his habit, so seeing him second The first time I take off my shoes, I know it's time to fight (haha, it's a little cute for some reason, wait for the other party to take off their shoes and then fight or something).
No.3 Fake "Master Duan Shui" - Village Chief
The village chief is a "Duanshui master" who pays great attention to the balance between the north and the south, and even married two wives, one from the south and one from the north .
The construction of schools and toilets was done by a third party, not his own son. It can be seen that he is really working hard to maintain the balance between the North and the South and avoid unnecessary disputes.
He said that he opposed the caste system, but he still wore a bib with the colors of the two caste parties to maintain his neutrality and gain the right to speak .
In order to gain the respect of others and not get involved in any side, the village chief is only the last person who presides over the overall situation and mediates. For example, the north and the south are fighting over who goes to the toilet first, and the village head thinks that he will be fine if he goes to the toilet first. To borrow the words of a villager, that is to take off your pants and fart , and the question becomes who will go to the toilet next.
The village chief is also very afraid of trouble. At an age, he is always looking ahead and fearing everything he does, and thinking about making achievements, but the fundamental problem is not solved, and nothing can be accomplished.
Schools and schools were demolished, toilets and toilets were demolished, and all the money was wasted. But if you want to say that the village chief doesn't know the root cause of the problem, it's definitely impossible, just pretending to be confused.
Speaking of opposition to the caste system, there is actually no less to enjoy.
For example, if you are going to clean up the dog's feces, that is to say, you don't move, just make an appearance; everyone proposes to let the male protagonist of the lowest caste go, but he doesn't say anything, indicating that he also agrees with the low caste It's just so lowly; only one of the leaders is given the money after the work, regardless of whether the male lead gets the money or not, it shows that he himself is unwilling to contact low-caste people, and the air is very high.
His bowl of water was never leveled. He himself is a person with deep prejudice, not to mention that both sides are related, so he just turned a blind eye.
No.4 The male protagonist with 100 million frustrations
The male protagonist is called Smile , because his lips can't be closed properly, it looks like he is smiling, so everyone calls him a smile, but more often they call him an idiot. He looked really frustrated, and with the sideburned child beside him, the two of them made a living by cutting their hair and shaving their beards .
Living under the big tree at the entrance of the village, with a mottled mirror and an old chair, is even a barber shop.
The villagers were shouting at the smiles, and no one looked down on his low caste lineage and only let him in through the back door (his caste did not allow the front door). Most of the time, they won't give a few money, and they will instruct a smile to get a ration to bring it to them.
Smile didn't care about it. He felt like the villagers said that he only depended on the alms of the villagers to get food. It would be nice to have work and food. As long as you save money, sooner or later, you will be able to build a real barber shop under the tree and fulfill your dream.
No.5 Election like a child's play
The village chief fell ill not long after the film started, and the councilor came to the house to ask for money to get the village chief to agree to the establishment of the factory. Fortunately, the village chief is still facing the villagers and is unwilling to sign. The two sons are greedy when they learn that the other party is willing to spend 50 million to pay for it.
There were just less than two months before the election of the village chief. The two sons , who could not get a single vote from their father, began to engage in bribery and canvassing . A blatant crime! It's a pity that everyone is working hard for votes and dignity. As long as there is an individual report, there will not be so many things in the future.
The funniest thing is that the eldest son's sign is coconut, and the younger son's sign is a road roller.
In order to propaganda and canvassing votes, the two sides have come up with their own tricks.
The younger son gave vouchers, the eldest son made the villagers swear with their lives; posted propaganda pictures on everything that could be printed; sent people to block the village and let them go after the election... Some people were brought back from the city Among the villagers, there are village names who have been cheated back from abroad, and villagers who have been locked up in the village for more than a month and have almost lost their jobs...
It's really uneasy, and the chickens are flying.
No.6 last ballot
Before the election, the male protagonist Smile just applied for a new ID card and got a voter card. It was mentioned earlier that both the north and the south were canvassing for votes, but after a lot of struggle, the result was a tie. At this time, it was suddenly discovered that the male protagonist had a vote in his hand, which means that hungry wolf saw meat.
For a while, the male protagonist became a piece of fragrant pastry, and both sides wanted to take it for themselves.
When a group of people enthusiastically called "Mandela" (the new name of the male protagonist) under the tree , the male protagonist came down, thinking that everyone was going to beat him, and almost tore his voter card. Ironically, when the male protagonist came down and asked them what is a good leader, both of them answered badly. The younger son was smart and said, "What you need is a good leader."
So both sides tried their best to please the male protagonist.
Get a new mirror if the mirror is dirty, get a new swivel chair if the chair is old, get a new brand if the brand is old... The male protagonist gradually loses his heart in this kind of flattery. After all, he has never experienced this kind of attention. There is also no opportunity to continuously shape their own three views from the lessons.
As for what happened later, let's go to the movies, you won't be disappointed.
No.7 Last
Filming such systems and phenomena in Indian films is quite down to earth, such as "White Tiger" and "Empty Woo!", which all start from the life of the people at the bottom.
In "The Barber of Destiny", there are many points that will not appear chaotic, but will only feel that "these people, these behaviors are like this", such as the village chief, such as the two sons, such as those villagers who are rushing ahead...
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the caste system, political issues, corruption, and every movie can see their shadows, but it has never made people feel boring.
why?
Because these conflicts will always exist, and it is difficult to eradicate them. Where there are people, there is society, and in society there are classes and struggles, not to mention the unstoppable greed and desire of human beings.
