"Baahubali" is known as the most expensive film in the history of Indian cinema. It is a mythical epic work with magnificent scenes and exquisite special effects. The heroic story of Baahubali is the core. The two generations of Baahubali kings are the monarchs who win the hearts and minds of the people and are admired by all. It's the female characters that really stand out: Shiva Gami, Devashina, and Avantika. Among them, Avantika's story line is thin and she rarely appears in the game. She only shows her warrior side, and nothing else. Two mother roles are worth analyzing.
Shiwakami was the adoptive mother of Amarandra Baahubali. When the son and his adopted son were competing for the throne, Shiwamika, with her sober cognition and high political sense, respected the aspirations of the people and chose to stand. The more benevolent Amarandra Baahubali was the monarch, but under the instigation of the scheming of giving birth to a son Balaradfudes, he turned against Amarandra Baahubali, and even despised Deva. It was regarded as a hostile object, and Ballaradevdes was established as the new king, and finally became a murder tool of Ballaradevdes, killing Amarandra Baahubali.
Shivakami was a powerful person in power in the early stage, resisting internal strife, fighting foreign enemies, and nurturing princes. She was an excellent ruler, but she did not take the royal power as her own, not even when the minister pushed her to the top. Not shaken at all, just waiting for the princes to grow up and inherit the throne.
But in the later stage, her motherhood broke out and she wanted to make up for the debt to her own son, which violated the axioms she initially adhered to. It can be said that her selfishness and domineering led to the death of Amarandra Baahubali. Fortunately, under the reminder of the faithful slave, Shivakami finally recognized the ugly face of his son, and desperately saved Amarandra Baahubali's son, Mahendra Baahubali, as a compensation. own fault.
Devashina is the mother of Mahatma Bahubali. This character is better than her mother-in-law Shivakami. She has always stood on the side of justice from beginning to end. This character is a well-deserved and perfect female character. She is beautiful, Confident, noble, independent, bold and decisive. She refuses to objectify women, refuses to be the wife of a prince she has never met, and dares to go to a foreign country for love and challenge authority. Her husband was killed, her son disappeared, and she was imprisoned for twenty-five years without giving up hope or giving in to the tyrant.
When everyone thought that her son who fled and disappeared as a baby was long gone, only she still firmly believed that his son would come back. Day after day, year after year, she dragged the heavy chain and picked it up around the square Dry twigs, just for one day when my son comes back for revenge, he will burn the enemy to death with raging light to comfort the soul of the deceased husband.
The happiest part of the two "Baahubali" is when the two fell in love for the first time, they learned that the beloved is a noble crown prince, and Devashina is always proud. The slightest bit of shyness, when the Queen Mother condoned Balaradevdes to do evil, and was angry that Baahubali defied herself for the sake of Devashina, Devashina boldly remonstrated and said boldly, "The silence of a good man is better than that of a good man." The lies of the bad guys to the kingdom are even more terrifying." In this battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Devashina and Shivakami were on opposite sides, but when her mother-in-law Shivakami killed Baahubali and begged for forgiveness, Devashina also There has never been any resentment, "Saving my son is equivalent to returning my husband." The hope of his son's survival is pinned on Shiwakami.
These two female characters are very different from the women I mentioned above. The first two can be said to be the awakening of female consciousness and the helpless resistance, and these two female characters are born with a spirit of rebellion. Powerful independence is innate, engraved in the bones, and there has never been a single compromise in the entire trajectory of life.
Of course, this is also determined by the divine and human status of women in the three films. The heroines of "The Endless Flower" and "Hot" are ordinary people, and even the awakening among Indian women is rare. And independent people, and Devashina and Shivakami in "Baahubali" are the incarnations of gods, the incarnations of Goddess Mahakali and Goddess Durga, so they have what ordinary human nature does not have. A natural rebellious spirit.
