This is a story that happened in Mumbai in the same time area. There are 4 people in Mumbai, a girl who grew up in the United States, a handsome laundry boy, a painter who lived alone after a divorce, and a woman in a video.
In fact, they are two people from different classes. They are attracted to each other. They feel strange and curious about each other's living conditions. They try to understand, but there is no way to fully understand them. But it is these trifles that make up our society.
Each person is represented by a different color, a girl in red, full of sunshine and vitality, a painter in blue, gloomy living in the world created by himself, a laundryman in gray, maybe his whole life can only be gray, And the black image woman, whose life was smeared black in the last despair.

Personally, I am most impressed by the woman in the video. Maybe the director made this person stand out. The images of the woman always have a gloomy color, and those shaky shots without deep modification, It can always give people a real visual impact; maybe the director made her story so looming on purpose, which made me have to think about the story behind this person; maybe her story involves life and death, and we have to think about it The problem. A young girl who first came to Mumbai, like a pool of bright green on stagnant water, came to this unfamiliar city in a car, this somewhat gloomy city, this city where it was always raining, she liked to use the camera to record the people around her, The surrounding houses, the surrounding things, she just lived in those three videotapes, and we can no longer find any trace of her existence except for the images. But I still can't help but think, how many people are actually living like this little by little, and that little by little can't survive? Even every gloomy sky always makes this girl linger in my mind, and her desperate eyes, is life like this? Such powerlessness.
The painter who was divorced and lived alone, I always remembered his painting. In fact, it was the life of the image woman, at least the life in the eyes of the painter. At first, he covered the paper with warm tones, and he saw the image. The happy side of the woman's life, wearing bright sari, sitting in front of the video camera, looking forward and excited to tell the trivial things in life, the last blue tone of the painting is so conspicuous in the middle, telling it coldly. An irresistible turn of events in this woman's life. The woman in the painting nodded slightly and her face was half-covered, as if she was about to turn around, with helplessness and powerlessness, more like saying goodbye to this life.

The painter is very hard to laugh. He always gives me a cold feeling. He lives alone, maybe because of his ex-wife's blow or other blows, but it gives me the feeling that he is actually such a person, just so cold Live in a small world created by oneself. He is not good at words, and uses colors and shapes to express the impact on his heart. It is not that he is not interested in other people's lives. He is just standing there, listening to the stories of strangers, so far away from all the people around him, what he desires is probably It's a spiritual exchange. The painter will smirk at the image alone and feel joy for the happiness of others; he will also walk to the beach of the old days to feel the mood of others at that time; he will follow the route and shuttle in the corridor as if he is retrieving his own memory; When you see despair, you will fall into deep despair. He is such a painter, just like every speaker, but maybe we don't understand his language.

And that laundryman? Perhaps the most ordinary low-level person living in Mumbai, doing laundry, fighting mice, and having an unrealistic dream of stardom. When God created him, maybe he just wanted to get together and let him live without accomplishing anything, or maybe God felt a little guilty and brought a rich and beautiful woman to him to give him some hope of living. One day God thinks of him again, maybe there will never be that day, he is like the background color of a painting, never worth mentioning.
That sunny and energetic girl, to put it bluntly, is actually a fluke that each of us has about life. A good birth will bring you all kinds of beauty, so please pray and be a rich second generation in your next life.
