In fact, watch "Mysterious Superstar" first, and then watch "Wrestling!" "Dad" is better, if you have seen "Wrestling!" Dad", you can completely watch "Wrestling!" after watching "Mysterious Superstar". dad".
Many people watch "Wrestling! "Dad", I didn't quite understand the father's behavior of choosing life for his daughter privately.
"Mysterious Superstar" explained: The status of Indian women is very low, not to mention the pursuit of dreams, it is impossible to even have dreams.
They will be ordered to go to school well, and are not allowed to have hobbies that are not related to their studies. When they grow up, Dad will force them to marry someone they have never met.
If it can be like "Wrestling! How fortunate it is to have a dad who keeps pushing himself, always supports himself, and helps him to succeed like Dad"!
The theme and idea of "Mysterious Superstar" do not lose to "Wrestling!" Dad", discusses themes such as family, maternal love, youth, feminism, dreams, freedom, etc., which is touching and brings tears to laughter.
family
Regarding the family, the film extends to topics such as Indian society, women's status, and domestic violence.
Yin Shiya's family is a typical Indian family, and her father, Farooq, is the head of the family and has a supreme status.
Farouk came home like an emperor, taking off his socks and eating without washing his hands.
He can decide anything, decides her daughter to give up her hobbies, decides her daughter to go abroad, decides her daughter to marry someone she has never met, and then gradually becomes a person like her mother, becoming a tool for giving birth, doing housework, and venting depression, thus creating a vicious circle. , never ends.
He never tolerated his family members having different opinions or ideas, and he beat and scolded his wife Najima at will, and even interrupted her hand because she forgot to boil the water.
No matter how well Nagima did, he would not be satisfied; if Nagima did something wrong, he would magnify the mistake ten thousand times, and would like to cramp and peel.
He beats and scolds his wife, and it has nothing to do with his wife's right or wrong. In essence, he is frustrated in work and life, and he vents his anger by hurting his wife. It is of the same nature as those keyboard warriors who live very aggrieved in reality and insult others on the Internet.
He really worked hard and he really did a lot for his family. I don't know if he is right to stop his daughter from pursuing her dreams, but I know that his domestic violence must be wrong.
Najma never dared to resist, or she felt that she should not resist, and felt that it was only natural for a husband to beat his wife in India.
Yin Xia asked her mother and father to divorce, but her mother blamed Yin Xia: this is my life, don't delusional separation from reality. Stop arguing with me, we've settled with your dad.
And Yin Xia, Najima, and Auntie have no status, they can't have their own ideas, and they can't refute Farouk.
The aunt said to Yin Xia: Your mother's biggest mistake was to give birth to you. My mother's biggest mistake was also giving birth to me. What's the use of a girl being born?
In the eyes of Indian women, being born is a mistake. When a mother is pregnant with a daughter, she should be aborted, instead of giving birth to her and making her suffer.
Indian women have little status in society and at home, and have no right to speak.
"Wrestle! While "Dad" has received rave reviews, the father's behavior of forcing his daughter to wrestle has also been controversial, but the Indian society shown in "Mysterious Superstar" makes us understand "Wrestle!" The original intention of "Dad": In such a male-dominated society, it is too difficult for women to change their fate in a gentle way, and a simple, rude, passionate person has a better chance of success.
Yin Xia's younger brother Gudu, although not much in the role, is also an indispensable member.
He likes chocolate and is naughty, yelling at his sister for gifts.
In the course of Yin Shia's conversation with her mother, she said that Gudu might become like a father. However, Gudu secretly retrieved his sister's computer and glued it together with tape. Although childish, it was very warm and poked into tears.
maternal love
The extreme patriarchal society is a phenomenon unique to India and some regions, but maternal love is a common nature of mothers all over the world.
Compared with the extreme male superiority, the mother-daughter relationship in the movie makes us feel more empathy.
Yin Xia and Najima's mother-daughter relationship has left a very deep impression on people. They are vicious and gentle, paranoid and love each other. They have differences and help each other, misunderstandings and reconciliation. The mood is very real, and it is easy to resonate with people.
In the face of her daughter's singer dream, her mother kept saying that she did not dare to disobey her father, but in the end she spared no effort to support her daughter.
When her daughter asked her to divorce, she firmly refused, but she finally decided to stand on her side.
More importantly, when she was pregnant with her daughter, her husband told her to kill her, but she refused: "Let her stay, this is my daughter." Even if she was later reprimanded by her husband and neighbors, she had no complaints. No regrets.
The most touching thing is that Najima did not tell Yin Xia about this, did not show off, did not ask for credit for it, and did not use it as a weapon to persuade her daughter.
There was a disagreement with her daughter. She never said "I gave birth to you back then, so you must listen to me", but communicated with her daughter as much as possible and reasoned with her.
In fact, this is the case with all mothers. They are all knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted. On the surface, they do not support you in doing what you like, but in their hearts, they still hope that you can live a better life. It’s just that there is a process of change, and you need to give them some time so that they can gradually stand by your side and respect your choice.
Before watching the movie, I felt that the title of the mysterious superstar was too common, but at the end I realized that it was actually a very important foreshadowing.
The mother defied all opinions and insisted on giving birth to her daughter, writing her daughter's life.
She sold her only necklace to buy a computer for her daughter, and gave her advice on putting on a burqa and singing.
Many Indian women are not allowed to have dreams. She gave her daughter the freedom to pursue her dreams.
So Yin Xia said, mother, she is not a fool, she is a genius; she is not a coward, she is a warrior; she is not childish, she is the best mother in the world, she is the real mysterious superstar.
youth
Qin Teng, a little boy who has a crush on Yin Xia, is an angelic character.
Compared with Najima, who is bound by family, every decision needs to be thought twice. Qinteng is unrestrained and spares no effort to support Yin Xia, from helping her take notes, to helping her skip school, helping her contact Shakti, and encouraging her dreams. , without complaint.
Even Yin Xia was angry. He even came up with a method of "entangling Yin Xia, forcing her to scold her, so as to release the pressure" to adjust Yin Xia's mood, which was very healing and touching.
He supported Yin Xiya when she was lost, congratulated her when she was happy, supported and encouraged her from beginning to end, shared weal and woe, and never gave up.
The person who truly loves you will never only accept your happy side, but will bring you happiness when you are unhappy.
At first, I felt that Qin Teng was not good-looking, and I didn't understand why such an actor was invited to play an important role.
In the end, I understood that although he was ordinary in appearance, he had a pure, kind, honest and fraternal heart. And when you discover these advantages of him, this ordinary-looking boy will become cute.
And Yin Xia's ability to accept Qin Teng's ordinary appearance also shows that she is not a superficial person, but has self-restraint. If Qin Teng is handsome, people can't tell whether Yin Shia likes his appearance or his inside.
Regarding youth, "Mysterious Superstar" does not have the vulgar scenes such as abortion and love triangle in previous youth films, but shows the pure and beautiful side of classmates, the sincere friendship, and the tender love is very precious , is the pure heart that can never be met once you step out of the campus and into the society.
dream
There is such a line in the movie: Having a dream is the most basic and everyone's right. Without a dream, everything will lose its meaning.
Everyone understands the truth, but it is still difficult to do. Yin Xia's dream-seeking path can be said to be weathered and troubled.
With the talent to be a singer, Dad ruined his guitar;
After finally becoming an internet celebrity, her father made her drop the computer.
Musicians threw an olive branch to her, and she played erratically.
Finally overcame the psychological pressure and made a record, and asked the whole family to immigrate to a foreign country...
God always likes to play tricks on people, first let you ride the wind and waves, and then push you into the abyss; when you are about to despair, he will give you the dawn of hope.
In this regard, the ancestors have long summed up the experience:
When the heaven sends a great responsibility to this man, he must first suffer his mind and will, toil his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and derange his actions with his fingers.
Yin Xia grew up through repeated blows, and moved forward through repeated tribulations before she gradually became successful.
Since she has suffered a lot of criticism, misunderstanding, humiliation, and injury, success is logical and has a clear conscience.
Yin Xia's star road is very tortuous, but in general it is still a bit idealistic. For example, the plot that blows up the Internet after the first video recording is not very convincing.
In fact, Yin Xia's character is a child prodigy, a talented girl who can shock all four with her singing voice. She represents not ordinary Indian women, but the best of India's hundreds of millions of women.
Besides, this is a fictional film after all, not a documentary. If you have to tell step by step how many years she has spent to develop her singing voice and how many years it has taken her to become an internet celebrity, I am afraid it will take 10 hours to finish the story.
Movies don’t have to be close to reality or dark to the end, they can also give people comfort and hope. If "Mysterious Superstar" is really like the reality, Yin Xia tried her best and failed to succeed, but many viewers may not want to watch it.
In reality, chasing dreams is undoubtedly very difficult for Indian women, even almost impossible, but I hope to find another answer in the movie, which is also the meaning of watching movies.
It is worth mentioning that Aamir Khan contributed his excellent acting skills. This time his character is completely different from the past, and he is a playboy.
He has gone beyond "acting what is like" and has reached the realm of "acting what is what". He has performed the image of a scumbag just right, which is also the role of the film's laughing point.
But Shakti is not a complete bad guy. He helped Yin Xia, bought a round-trip ticket for Yin Xia, and followed Yin Xia's advice, all of which are enough to show that he also has a kind side. After all, he can completely squeeze each other.
Although he is diligent, he respects the children very much. He has never done any deviant behavior to Yin Xia. He even saw his colleagues laugh at Yin Xia.
He was originally bad-tempered and uneducated, but his willingness to talk to the lawyer calmly for Yin Xia was also a tear in the movie.
A person who has been stubborn for half his life and is willing to make changes for you is so precious.
Feminism
True feminism must be egalitarianism.
Although "Mysterious Superstar" is about the awakening of women's consciousness, it does not go overboard to turn a male-dominated society into a feminist society.
Yin Xia and Najima did not say that they would trample men under their feet, but fought for the rights and interests that originally belonged to them and took back what originally belonged to them.
For example, Yin Xia wants to return to her seat, and Najima regains her right to speak.
Especially when Najima openly rejected her husband and said "no" to her husband in order to defend her daughter's dignity, her blood boiled, and she even felt very "burning".
At this moment, she was full of vigor, like a pure man.
This mother and daughter are no longer weak women who can only starve to death without Farouk. They will feed themselves with their hands, and they will prove that they can live, and live better, without men.
free
I don't know what people think of Mystery Superstar, but in my mind it's a match for Wrestle! "Dad" and "Three Silly Troubles in Bollywood" are on the same level, representing the pinnacle of Indian movies.
The movie is full of ups and downs, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears; comedy and grief.
This is not only a comedy, a drama, an inspirational film, but also a great work that is about human nature and directly hits the heart.
Regarding her mother's saying that "everyone has a fixed number", Yin Xia said, "I don't want this kind of fixed number." She persevered and persevered, and finally changed her destiny and lived the life she wanted.
She threw away the burqa and showed her true face. What she threw away was not only the burqa, but also numbness, obedience, humiliation, and humility; she also displayed not only her face, but also her dignity, courage, courage, and equality, which represented her boldly saying "no" to the patriarchal society, representing She will be the master from now on.
The scene where my mother signed the divorce agreement was heartwarming, like Andy embracing freedom in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption.
She said to her husband, "That's not rubbish, that's Yin Xia's guitar", which brought tears to her eyes, just like the phrase "Freedom" in "Braveheart" China Race shouted hoarsely!
In the end, she picked up the guitar and walked away without looking back with her daughter. From the eyes of her and her daughter, I saw resistance, justice, fighting, strength, fortitude, bravery, awakening, and freedom!
