What kind of love can make a man, for the reputation of a woman who has only been with her for two days, to protect her stable life, give up her freedom, give up the country, give up her identity, and stay in a dark foreign prison for 22 years ?
I know clearly that such a story comes from fiction, but I am still moved by the affectionate interpretation of Shasha and Zeta.
Perhaps some media accused India's films of being out of touch with reality. Shasha said frankly: "I have always heard that our films are escapist and unreal, but I think our films are the most real in the world. We didn't take a rocket and bomb it alone. Meteor-destroying heroes, we don't have a world-saving president on Air Force One. Our fantasies and escapism are real. People are singing and dancing in the streets. If England wins the World Cup, you'll see them singing and dancing in the streets too Jump."
I thought that the art of cinema, not news reports, was the reality of bringing bloody, real-life tragedies to the screen? Is it real to put an ugly, vulgar reality into a movie?
The truth in the movie is another filtered and washed "reality". Let those light spots of love and humanity be magnified and carved. Whether the background required by the film's story is in line with reality is just a matter of minutiae.
In Indian films, or Shasha's films, he has been promoting a concept of love: a person only lives once and loves only once.
Therefore, if you love, you must be persistent; if you love, you must persevere; if you love, you cannot easily give up.
Shasha's film also promotes the idea that love is not a matter of two people.
It's not enough for two people to have each other in their eyes. To get the recognition and blessing of the people around each other, family, friends, elders. Whether in "Win Your Heart" or "Love Knows No Borders", Shasha never agrees to elope with that woman just because she loves her. He wants to find a backup for love, so that love has no worries.
Love is only the most precious thing in a person's life, but it is not the only precious thing. A truly beautiful love is a love that is sincerely blessed by relatives and friends. You can't hurt other people because of love.
