The movie "Hot" Parched
With the Wrestling Bar Daddy craze, give this awesome Indian movie a go. In addition to the male god Aamir Khan, Indian films also have many excellent works, and "Hot" in 2015 is one of them.
The protagonists are three women at the bottom of Indian society.
Rani, the most forbearing of the three women, habitually wraps herself in a sari, pessimistic and stubborn. When she was a teenager, she married her husband's family. There was basically no love in the marriage. The husband took care of his mistress. Later, he died unexpectedly. Rani became a widow and lived with his elderly mother-in-law and son. Fifteen years of sexlessness and lovelessness, raising his son to adulthood, and now borrowing money to marry him. After the awakening, what she did to her daughter-in-law was the most touching scene for me, and I liked her line the most in terms of storytelling.
Pull buckwheat, very cute! With quirky big eyes and boyish little movements, he looks like a drooping deer after being injured. After marriage, she was used by her husband as a target to vent her "disability". She became a victim of lies. Her husband beat her after drinking, and she was bruised when she disagreed. La Qiao is very smart and does the best handicraft work. She is the first to get a monthly salary. She is very brave and tells her husband that the reason for her infertility is not hers. The last fire burned the mythical demon and the hypocritical demon in the world together!
Peachy, beautiful, charming! It's the enchanting female star on the caravan stage in the village, the slut in the eyes of the women, and the stunner in the eyes of the men...or a prostitute. She had little hope for men. She saw the obscene eyes of the male audience off the stage, staring at her body everywhere, using her flesh to exchange money for money, living a numb, light and natural life. The money Rana handed over was the annihilation of her last hope. She used physical torture to win over a younger dancer, and she was full of despair when the pain recovered in the morning.
In addition to the three main characters, there are several female characters worth mentioning.
Rani's daughter-in-law, Zhan Qi, the movie started with Rani's proposal. The daughters were marked as "sold" with a price increase by their father, and they even raised the price during the inspection. The desperate Zhan Qi stared numbly ahead. , foreshadowing the later accident about "baldness". On the wedding day, Zhan Qi with short hair was regarded as a laughing stock by everyone. Rani's son was full of resentment towards Zhan Qi and his mother. After "raping" the bride, he walked away, borrowing money and drinking to find prostitutes, stealing money and drinking to find prostitutes. A prostitute, completely following in his father's footsteps. Zhan Qi is very cute, with an angelic smile on her round face. The boy she loves comes to give her a book. When the boy is chased away, she picks up the book carefully, like a treasure. I am very glad that she finally went away with her beloved with the help of Rani. He is a boy who can ride a bicycle for a few hours to give her books and love her deeply. It is very good!
Champa, who appeared in 10 minutes of the movie, was forcibly sent away by the village elders and his mother after escaping from her husband's house. Crying to the point of collapse, I told my mother that my husband had a mistress and didn't touch her at all. My brother-in-law and the men in the family often raped her, including her father-in-law, because it was impossible to confirm that her biological father was forcibly aborted... When I told all this, the camera was close-up. Her mother, I couldn't see any distress and comfort in her eyes, only fear and despair... In the end, Champa was forcibly sent away. The car, bumping, took her to death.
Shankey's wife, Laubie. With few appearances, she and her husband are one of the few positive characters in the movie. Intellectual women often hold books in their hands, and the wedding gift they give to Zhan Qi is also a book. Have the culture and courage to speak out against what the elders say. He is good at communicating in English, and works with Shangji to win orders for handmade products for the women in the village, helping them become self-reliant and earn income with technology. Unfortunately, because Shankey was injured by Rani's son's gang of rascals who hated progress, Laubie had to leave the village with her husband, which was one of the potential reasons why the three protagonists decided to flee. The fire was completely extinguished...
Of course, the director didn't beat the Indian man to death with one stick ~ Rani's small pink mobile phone is hidden in his chest. The mysterious man on the phone, Rani's "talking friend"... and Zhan Qi's lover, the good man Shang Ji, are the three positive male characters in the movie (actually the male god who gave birth to a child in Dongzhong and Laqiao) It can also be said that she respects women in some respects, but the description is too small to make a judgment). As for whether Rani will meet him later, it is up to the audience's imagination, but this mysterious man is one of the important catalysts for Rani's self-awakening. At the end of the film, Rani called him and asked about the next direction. : "Then what does your heart think?" Rani's reply: "From now on, I will let my heart decide."…
At the end of the movie, the three women are jumping like an Indian version of the end of the road, cutting their long hair completely short, so happy that they don't need a sari, all the way to hope and freedom...
But the village behind them is getting farther and farther away, in countless villages, there will still be women living in the sea of misery and will never be able to escape...
