After 8 years of waiting, the Delhi black bus case has finally come to an end. Just on March 20 this year, four criminals in this case were hanged at Tihar Prison in the west of the capital New Delhi. According to local media reports, this was generally regarded as a "victory of justice" in India.
But what has happened recently, and thinking of Henette's "Justice may be late, but never absent", I have a little doubt, whether justice is late or absent, but please don't whitewash hell!
In December 2012, a 23-year-old female university student in Indonesia was brutally assaulted by six gangsters on a "black bus" in New Delhi, and died of her injuries 13 days later.
In reality, the law also gave them the punishment they deserved.
But what's the use? Shortly after the case, a woman died after being assaulted by six people in a town near the city of Kolkata.
In the late period of patriarchal India, men were kings and power, and they would only be critical of women's moral awareness, dress, etc. Even highly educated intellectuals were executioners in sheep's clothing.
The wicked on this soil are not afraid of the law or the gods they believe in, so what should they do?
Violence with violence - this is the answer this film gave me.
What I want to talk about today is "A Mother's Revenge" based on this case .
01 God is not omnipotent, so he created the mother.
Arya is assaulted after a party, and in the face of overwhelming evidence, four offenders are acquitted by a court of law. Heartbroken, Arya's stepmother, Deviki, desperately decides to take revenge on the criminals in her own way.
The process of revenge has to be said to be so cool~
For the first one, the two beauties hired by her were castrated and found at the door of the neighbor's house 3 days later;
As for the second place, she was poisoned by the cyanide she extracted from apple seeds, causing her whole body to be paralyzed;
As for the third, she blamed the second rapist for poisoning and was imprisoned - because in this person's home, a large number of cut apples, as well as instruments and residues of cyanide extracted...
For the fourth, she was fatally shot in her daughter's "mom".
02 Touch of details, stepmother's love
The details of this film are handled very well.
First of all, after the heroine Arya was pulled into the car by four thugs, only the car appeared on the camera in the dark night, and the streets were empty, accompanied by strange music, suggesting the occurrence of this crime.
During this process, although there is no nudity, no struggle, and no shouting in the picture, but in the middle of the vehicle, the front and rear rows of people are changing positions in this picture, as a viewer, you already know what happened.
Thanks to the director's restraint, the presentation of some scenes is not just for the audience to see what happened. I think it is very good to handle the original film in this way.
When she saw that her daughter Arya was covered in scars and filled with various tubes, Daviqi didn't rush towards it (please take a serious look at those who wrote the rush directly in the play), but showed an unbelievable look on her face. , Covering his mouth with his hands, he walked slowly towards his daughter without saying a complete sentence, grabbed the guardrail beside her daughter's bed, and cried out her daughter's name.
Afterwards, the picture only shows her daughter lying on the hospital bed, and Dai Weiqi exits the picture as a second perspective. The next scene is the dialogue between the doctor and her from the third perspective. The dialogue is through the vague doorway, as if the audience is at the door. The external appearance enhances the sense of realism with the characters on the screen.
There are other details, although simple, but memorable:
1. The mother, who has not yet planned to take revenge, met one of the thugs at school. When she tried to hit him with a car, she held the steering wheel tightly, kept her eyes on the other side, and accompanied by the thrilling music. fireworks of vengeance;
2. The firm and resolute expression when he decided to avenge his daughter, and the business card of the detective who was found;
3. In the face of the suspicion of the police, the key that pretends to be calm but has a trace of panic, cannot be inserted into the keyhole;
4. The sunglasses that Detective DK was reluctant to take off all the time were actually the evidence to record everything;
5. And every time Arya knew that the thugs who violated her were punished one by one, the curtains that were slowly opened were compared with the tightly closed room before.
6. In the exhibition, Dai Weiqi was standing in front of the painting, talking about the theme of this exhibition - Mahabharata, an ancient revenge story, which echoed what she wanted to do, and decided to do it.
What I regret most about this film is the death of Detective DK.
And the setting of DK is not very reasonable. Just because I have a daughter of the same age as Daveki, and I do my best to help her, I don't think it makes sense.
After all, he knew what Devi Qi was going to do. If the setting for DK was to have a daughter who was also violated, it would make people feel more reasonable.
03 Where justice can't reach, there are mothers!
Remember when Detective DK said at the beginning, "I don't know if this is right or wrong"
"It's wrong, but it's also wrong to do nothing. If you had to choose between wrong and wrong, what would you choose?"
It is said that people must trust the police and the law.
But the reality is that just because Arya drank some alcohol, the judge thought Arya's testimony was not credible and released the four suspects in court.
Devi Qi was completely disappointed with the law, castrated, poisoned, and framed. She did everything she could, including picking up the police's gun during the fight with the last gangster and aiming it at the suspect's head.
If she shoots, she becomes a murderer, and if she doesn't shoot, the plan of revenge for her daughter will not be completed.
We have seen too much injustice, and we even long for justice. Reality is not as perfect as movies. Even if there is, justice will come too late.
The execution of the supposed execution in the Delhi black bus case has been postponed three times, and the four criminals have exhausted all available legal avenues.
Fortunately, 8 years later, they got the punishment they deserved.
The original victim was named Jyoti, which means "light" in Hindi.
Jody's father said: "Before she died, she lit a torch. I hope this light will dispel the darkness of the city."
On the whole, although this drama is a typical anti-three-view and cool drama mode, many plots and character settings are not very reasonable, and there are many slots, but I still want to recommend it to you.
I don't think it's a movie that preaches violence, it's a cautionary tale: those shameless criminals who try to get away with legal loopholes, when you commit a heinous crime and try to get away Hold the sword of vengeance on your chest, the owner of that sword is the mother.
Justice always needs to be manifested.
Evil should not be rampant.
04 Postscript
Human nature can be really bad, the kind that is bad to the bone.
Whether it is the black bus case in Delhi, India, or the recent incident in South Korea's N room that shocked the world. South Korea's N-room incident refers to sexual exploitation incidents that occurred on a communication software called Telegram from the second half of 2018 to 2020. The victims are mainly minors. These minors are called "slaves" and are threatened with various pornographic videos, which are actually sex slaves. The videos are uploaded to various Telegram rooms (similar to our WeChat groups) for people to watch. In South Korea and even the world, there has been a lot of uproar, and the people are angry.
Hell is magnanimous, the devil is in the world! We cannot change the darkness of this world, we can only protect ourselves.
