four more cups
For an Indian drama in 2019, it is hard to imagine that India can broadcast a lot of content that we think is sensitive, and it also breaks through the negative impression of India. It does exist, but it dares to expose it. The lives of the four heroines in the play are a microcosm of the status and basic state of women in the whole society. Although they are flawed, they are brave.
"what are you afraid of"
"Long Live the Miniskirt"
"Sorry to interrupt, we are changing the world"
"I'm not a girl, I'm a storm in human skin"
"Born to be wild, unfettered"
"The system is not broken, there is a problem"
"Dream Avenue"
"No Judgment"
1. Damini, editor-in-chief of the news website
Damini, the founder and editor-in-chief of a news detective network, mainly works to find the dark side of society and report them. For example, India is the country with the highest explosive rate. She said that she wants to speak for women. But the irony is that she worked hard to expose the facts, but was replaced by a young girl who returned from studying abroad, just because few people pay attention to the news now, and young people prefer to see the private lives of celebrities, that is, gossip, gossip The news brings profits to their companies, and real news doesn't make any money. The board of directors also thought that Damini was uncontrollable and always reported news of being banned, so she was expelled from the company. A company founder was expelled from his company's board of directors, which is ridiculous to think about. Under her own efforts to track down, the acid people and the behind-the-scenes organization were exposed, and she won the annual Fearless Journalism Award, which was her fourth time. At the award ceremony, she said: "The annual Fearless Award, my first When I won this award, I always felt like I had conquered the whole world. Later, I won the award twice and three times. The thrill of winning the award made me addicted. To win this award, I worked non-stop all year round, but Standing here today and winning four times, I think this award is meaningless. I won the award for writing a report, but ironically, I was fired from the company I founded because of this report. What are these awards? What's the point, if we are all just puppets? Puppets who will do anything for evaluation and advertising revenue (the host interrupts without quality) We shouldn't use public expenses to travel, get bonuses, and eat free lunches, the only thing we should do is Keep professionalism, keep our inner integrity, don't sell our souls, or we'll be too embarrassed, shame on us, (Host: It's time for the next award) That's right, it's time, back to you, me Done." Then he put the trophy on the table and left handsomely. There is also a scene of her dialogue with Uma, which is also very realistic:
Uma: "Who built these glass roofs? It's women, it's us, we thought we couldn't break through this invisible barrier, but as long as you believe that glass ceilings don't exist at all, you will have a bright future." (Does this mean that the discrimination and inequality that women suffer are all of their own making?)
Damini: "You don't think women fantasize about being suppressed by that man"
Uma: "I just think people need courage to succeed, they shouldn't make excuses for themselves"
Damini: "Patriarchy is not an excuse, women must work harder to get ordinary credit"
Uma: 'It's a millennial problem, you blame gender for everything'
Damini: "Defending feminism is of course a gender issue"
Uma: "Feminism is not about hating men, women are about gender equality, and gender equality will only happen when we stop complaining about ourselves" (Damini rolls his eyes)
Behind, there is Uma as a woman, without the consciousness of the female community, suppressing Damini. The editor-in-chief of Airborne came back to her and said sorry, I replaced you, Damini said: "No, no one can replace me".
When encountering passers-by who like to gossip about the private life of celebrities, she would say: "I should be sorry to see this kind of gossip, don't you watch the real news?". "This is news," she said. "Detective.com has been a trusted news site for three years, but you idiots have forced us to publish unhealthy gossip. You should be ashamed and stop caring. Whoever screwed whom, care about how you were screwed up by this social system."
It is worth mentioning that her family education has laid a solid foundation for her future career. Since she was a child, her father never thought that girls should not have their own opinions, and regardless of age, he has always encouraged her to find the truth.
In life, she has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she must put everything away, put pillows around before going to bed, and make coffee one by one. There are boys who solve needs in the relationship, and there are handsome male doctors who have always been obsessed, but in the end, she did not find the bar owner who loved her the most.

In the play, she was a successful lawyer, but when she defended in court, she was interrupted and mocked by the judge because she was a woman and a foreign accent. In the end, she lost the case because there was no witness evidence. At the end of the trial, Damini said, "If you Be a man and the judge won't be so contemptuous of you", she said "that's what I have to face every day", Damini "Man, look at how many men we have around us, India is full of men, like this, Always staring at us. Whether it's on the bus, on the rickshaw, in the courthouse, or urinating on the street, there's a bunch of stinky men everywhere", Anjana said: "What's the difference between a man and a condom? The condom has been improved, it is not as thick and insensitive as before", Damini: "You are sexist". Anjana: "The patriarchy has lasted for more than 2,000 years, so let me tell a joke."
When exchanging babysitting with her ex-husband, the child calls her cute aunt because her stepmother can make small pancakes and is considerate. Anjana hopes to be the cute aunt that the child likes even though she is tired, but this is often not the case.
