How the "white tiger" was made

This movie is quite surprising, mainly because of the very fresh themes, fresh culture and angles that have never been seen before.

This movie solved some of my doubts, and also gave me some shocks and thoughts in some aspects:

One is the contrast between the humility shown by the poor Indians/servants and the actual heart. They are all human. After taking off the disguise, their human nature is the same. It is impossible to disguise for a lifetime. Being honest is the worst, so don’t trust others too much because of their apparent honesty. The third is loyalty and deception. Apparent loyalty is short-lived and will change, but what you see is actually not true.

There is also the more delicate Indian whose life is like a chicken coop. Everyone is a chicken in a chicken coop, waiting for the slaughter of life. Once locked in, there is no way to escape. Therefore, the protagonist of the movie has always refused to start a family and refused to be locked in a chicken coop. It is this clear mind that allows him to get rid of the cycle of the chicken coop. People with vision can always lead a better life. Of course, this is also at the expense of his family, which can be described as "no drug and no husband".

The protagonist at the bottom is very smart, has always lived a sober and smart life, has a clear understanding of the situation, and actively keeps climbing up the social hierarchy. This story exposes the dark side of India, showing again the existence of two Indias. The best part of this film is that the changes in the servant's mental journey are captured along the way. His ideas from the beginning of clinging, to the mid-term loyalty, to the final betrayal, are very smooth and natural, and also very smooth. Sobering.

The White Tiger quotes

  • Balram: The greatest thing to come out of this country in its 10,000-year history... the rooster coop. They can see and smell the blood. They know they are next, yet they don't rebel. They don't try and get out of the coop.

  • Balram: The trustworthiness of servants is so strong that you can put the key of emancipation in a man's hand and he will throw it back at you with a curse.
