1. Reality is always more embarrassing than art
Aamir Khan said in the "Truth Interview": "I want to discuss some topics related to the livelihood of the Indian people, without blaming anyone, slandering anyone, and restricting anyone. Everyone says that those who hurt us are close at hand. , maybe we are all responsible. Now, join me on this journey. To seek, to discover, to learn, to share, and to unravel the mysteries of these difficult problems. I have no intention of intensifying contradictions, only to change In this era. No matter who's heart, as long as there is a spark, it will become a prairie prairie."
"MOM" (Chinese name "A Mother's Revenge") is adapted from the "Delhi Black Bus Case" that shocked the world in 2012. From the perspective of a mother and a woman, it accuses the inaction of the Indian system and law, and 6 More than 100 million Indian women complained, "This kind of thing will still happen, and you can't do anything".
The film has received rave reviews since its release. In India, where patriarchy prevails, the existence of women is the original sin. What’s more, even in the eyes of many Indian men, women on the street are just moving dishes.
From a personal point of view, the rhythm of the first half of the film is a bit slow, and it is not until the mother starts to implement the revenge plan that the highlights are unfolded in sequence: the evidence of rape is insufficient, the murderer is at large, the mother sets a trap to take revenge on the murderers one by one
The adaptation of the film is too dramatic, and the reality is even more unbearable for what the law cannot solve: the victim girl was not as lucky as in the film. After 13 days of rescue, she tragically died, and she did not even meet the basic condition of being alive.
2. When law and justice clash head-on
"A dense arrow of flaming flames is generated and radiated above the enemy, like a torrential rain, and surrounds the enemy..." - "The Mahabharata"
"The Mahabharata", known as the " Soul of India ", is the struggle between the weak and the violent, the insulted and the insulted, and the nobles who have been exiled and persecuted and are close to the people against the arrogant and cruel nobles who occupy the throne. Drawing lessons from China, the red visual impact suggests viciousness, violence, blood donation, and revenge.
The law emphasizes evidence and fair sentencing. "Not guilty" belongs to the verdict of a crime, lacking the necessary condition of "sufficient evidence", and a verdict has become the most shocking sentence. A rapist was found not guilty because he had no evidence, but he was found guilty of hitting a rapist, so why does the law exist? Is it to deliver justice, or to weaken judicial trust?
When the law has no way to become our umbrella, and the police can't guarantee our safety, it is human instinct to protect ourselves and our family. The mother chose the most direct and fundamental solution: use violence to overcome violence.
Although in reality, fighting violence with violence will only bring about a vicious circle, and in the vicious circle of fighting violence with violence, the discord and tragedy will never end.
At the end of the film, during the execution of the last criminal, he kept begging the mother for mercy, begging for another chance. In the face of scum, this kind of thing will happen again, if they do another "perfect" crime, who will pay for the consequences?
The injury is irreversible, we can't understand the feelings of the person involved, and those flower-like lives can't come back again, who can give them another chance?
Although a peaceful, inclusive and rational society can never provide a breeding ground for the dangerous mentality of using violence to control violence and even "to perish together". Modern society is not a river and lake where grievances and grievances are repaid. So-called "private revenge" is not allowed. We have always opposed "repressing violence with violence" and want to solve problems peacefully. From a humanitarian point of view, of course, such an approach is never desirable.
Just like lethal injection, there was a discussion on Zhihu about whether lethal injection is too light. One comment said: You died peacefully in just a few minutes and you were mentally prepared; Under the machete you wielded, in the raging fire, in the raging lake, in the dormitory that you thought was your second home... Struggling to die with a broken body and full of panic, if I can want us to be the same. Many people like and support it. If it is a murderer on death row, then he should go through the same thing. If it is a poisoned death row prisoner, let him go through this process too. The world will never feel the same way, because you are not me.
3. Respect is not just "Lady First", but more than "Lady First"
"I taught my daughter to protect herself, have you taught your son to respect women?"
Jump out of the movie to see:
The "Disney incident" that once exploded the circle of friends, the little boy involved witnessed the whole process of his mother's "support" for him who did the wrong thing. These behaviors can be seen everywhere, and even adults will be understood as cute, like adults With a good laugh, how many would point out that this is wrong for girls? Is being too young a reason to be disrespectful?
In recent years, there have been too many incidents of female victimization, but there are some unsightly words in the comments on each incident. You don't know whether the person walking towards you is a normal person or a mentally ill person, you don't know what kind of person is lying beside your pillow, and you don't know that he stabs you in the next second even though he didn't do anything. In the end, you can only become X and X in social news.
In the film, when the girl dressed up and went to the party, there was a discordant "voice", and when the girl was kidnapped, there was a "deserving". Is it right to dress up beautifully and be hurt by others? Do you deserve to be bullied when you go out at night? Did the girl who was killed by Didi deserve it because she was beautiful in a short skirt? When the keyboard warriors say they deserve it again and again, they say it's a woman who is careless, but who ever told their son that as long as the other party is a woman, no matter what age she wears, you should respect her and don't do anything that violates other people's wishes. Be kind to yourself.
In the patriarchal society since ancient times, women have been described as subordinates of men in various allusions and articles. They can be property, they can be trophies, but they are not themselves, not an independent person. China has gone through 14 years from the Law on the Protection of Rights and Interests of Women and Children to the Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China.
Even today, we have been promoting equality between men and women, but when you think about it, women can go to school, work, and start a business. Not getting married is the woman's fault, not having children is the woman's fault, the children are not well educated, it is the woman's fault, and how many companies are women, just married, and refuse to hire people before they want children. We see this too much. too much.
It's easy to type a few times on the keyboard, but the impact of what you say can't be taken back, but the upbringing in your bones can't be changed. You are not me, not her, not him, a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets, and no one can feel the same.
Don't be a cynical keyboard warrior in front of the screen. Learning to understand and respect is what each of us should strive to do.
If you can't, please let go of your so-called curiosity and shut up.
