On what the two films of "Baahubali" really want to express:
The righteousness is precious, and the price of virtue is higher. For hope, both can be thrown away.
We divide the two films by timeline, the Big Bajo period is 1 and the Little Bajo period is 2.
It can be seen that 1 is discussing which is more important, Fa-rectification or moral character. The answer of 1 is given around the three legal conflicts between the Queen Mother and the Grand Bajo and the death of the Grand Bajo: Morality is more important.
Bahor was established as the crown prince because he saved the people. It can be seen that the queen mother put moral character first in choosing the king at the beginning, and the Fa-rectification has not been involved here. The following three conflicts show the status of Fa-rectification and moral character in the Queen Mother's heart.
The queen mother's law is: to fight against those who make themselves break their promises, and to uphold the law.
The Da Bajo's Dharma is to fight against those who let themselves break their promises, punish evil and promote good. He is also a person of high moral character.
Here, it is interpreted from the perspective of the Queen Mother, because she has advanced the development of the entire 1.
The first conflict: Although he has a noble character, but he made me violate the Dharma (breaking the promise made to Bara), then he will pay the price (lose the throne). At this time, in the Empress Dowager's mind, Fa-rectification was more important than moral character.
The second conflict: Bajo was removed from the position of general, but the law stipulates that only the king can appoint and remove the position, I want to maintain the righteous law (law). Although what Devashina said was right, the people of the whole country hoped that Bajo would ascend to the throne, because he has a higher moral character than Bala, but I want to uphold the Dharma, only I can appoint or remove the king, and what I say is the law. At this time, in the Queen Mother's mind, the Fa-rectification still trumped virtue.
The third conflict: Although he was right, the head should be beheaded, but in the court, the final judgment should be the king. He violated the law, and I want to uphold the righteous law, even if his character is noble, punishing evil and promoting good. This time, Fa-rectification still trumps moral character.
After being attacked by the Fa-rectification, the moral character finally surfaced.
After the death of Bajo, Catapa said for the first time that the queen mother "you made a big mistake", why is it wrong? Because your son lied to you to let you kill another son. Here Katapa threw an important message to the Queen Mother: Your son is immoral. This is information that has never been available. We didn't say you were wrong about how you maintained the Fa-rectification before, but this time you were wrong. People with corrupt morals are not worthy of being kings. At this time, the queen mother suddenly woke up, touched the feet of the princess and said, "You have seen his beautiful character and gained infinite joy..." This is the first time the queen mother mentioned character. Originally, the king could execute anyone he wanted, which was his right, but he was a vicious and vicious person with corrupt morals. Virtue rose to an unprecedented height in the heart of the Queen Mother. Virtue overcame Dharma for the first time, and thus abolished this corrupt king.
Here, as the intersection of 1 and 2, throws out the theme that 2 wants to express, which is also the highest level of the two films: hope. The queen mother named a newborn baby as the king, ending 1 and clarifying the theme: "Dharma-rectification is naturally valuable, if there is no moral character, it is wrong. But hope is everything, and in the absence of morality, When the evil is rampant, Fa-rectification and moral character are nothing but misty clouds and no vitality."
In the face of hope, even life is worth donating. With infinite hope in his heart, he held up the baby, vowed to wait for the moment when someone came to rescue him, and shouted "...to live to ascend the throne of Moshe Modi..." This time is different from announcing the baby in the palace. For the king's situation, she had not been hunted down at that time, and she thought that under her own training, little Bajo could become a good king. Then she is about to die, why is she still obsessed with letting the newborn baby ascend to the throne in the future? What if it is adopted by someone with a bad heart?
Because hope is above everything else, in the face of hope, virtue can be left behind.
Coming to 2, the above said that making the baby king has thrown the highest level of things: hope. 2 is to argue that hope is the most important thing.
The background music of Little Bajo and Big Bajo are very different. The former is high-spirited and full of hope, while the latter is magnificent and tragic.
People have not had a smile for 25 years. They live like walking dead every day, and their mother's tears have dried up. Lifting linga, climbing waterfalls, and pulling the statue back to the motherland saved hundreds of lives, and hope is rising step by step. But hope has not appeared for a long time, and the people who believe in justice are scrambling together like headless flies, which proves what a ridiculous era this is.
Baahubali again cut off the head of her bully in front of Devashina. Killed the prince. This time, did anyone else come out and say they committed treason?
In the face of hope, no Fa-rectification is worth mentioning.
Katapa recognized the little Bajo and raised the feeling of hope to the extreme, which is the climax of the entire 2, such as the male protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption" bathed in the rain of hope after breaking out of prison. The prison of the past is washed away, and the light of hope for the future is greeted.
The crowd ignited high fighting spirit, and a long-lost smile appeared on their faces. Even if they are weak veterans without decent weapons, they can use both hands as blades, breathe like wind, and blood like fire.
In the end, justice triumphed over evil. With the background music, the kingdom changes from darkness to light, Bajo Jr ascends to the throne, and finally the theme is again pointed out: hope is the most important thing, and with hope people can conquer all evil.
Bajo was reborn from ashes, and the queen mother was submerged in water.
The different endings indicate that mother and son may not meet in heaven.
But when Bajo Jr came to the throne, they met.
Little Bajo, who turned into the face of Big Bajo, said what the Queen Mother said: "This is my order, and my order is the law."
The queen mother atones her sins, and mother and son can meet in heaven.
The intersection of the three expresses that the little Bajo not only has the wise and martial arts of the big Bajo, but also has the political iron fist of the queen mother.
Amarandra + Xiwa Gami = Mahatma
If there is "Baahubali 3", I hope it will be made into a cool drama, so that I can enjoy the heroic killing of the enemy on the battlefield, the political prosperity of the country, the devastation of the traitorous officials in the palace fight, and the closure of the family. A happy king's life.
