It is also about the situation of Indian women. "Mysterious Superstar", which will be released on January 19, may give many people a boost of confidence, and once again let Chinese people feel the powerful charm of Indian movies facing reality, singing and dancing while crying and crying. Laugh, then walk out of the theater contentedly, feeling the beauty of the world in the sun.
Briefly, "Mysterious Superstar" is about a daughter who loves to sing and a kind mother. After repeated humiliation, he finally mustered the courage to get rid of a straight male cancer father who was addicted to domestic violence. He finally became an Internet celebrity by singing and ascended to the top of the university. The stage, the story of becoming a big star.
I was fortunate to watch the screening, it was very cool, the first five-star movie in the beginning of the year, the music is good, the plot is exciting, and the emotions are full. In terms of the completeness of the story, the tension of the play, and the real issues of Indian women it touches, it is obviously better than "Wrestling, Dad." "More deeply, there was a shrieking sound in the cinema, many people were wiping their tears, the mother and daughter confronted each other, and the husband and wife faced off in two scenes at the airport.
The film is starring Aamir Khan and Seira Worthy (played by Little Geeta in "Wrestle, Dad"). People who have seen it will automatically think of "Wrestle, Dad". Indeed, except for Aamir Khan After taking on the leading role, the film was shot and produced by the studio named after him. The subject matter is almost the same as "Wrestling, Dad", but here, the father becomes the complete villain.
Many people know that Aamir Khan is a big star and a very socially responsible person. In the TV program "Truth Interview" founded by him, he is not shy about social issues in India, and often discusses "the killing of girls and the sexual abuse of children." , women's status, huge dowry, domestic violence, caste system" and other ugly phenomena. The story idea of "Mysterious Superstar" comes from this show, which has a strong social and mass base.
Therefore, the "Mysterious Superstar" realized by tapping, although there are laughter and tears, campus love, youthful emotions, family ethics, and wonderful music, on the whole it is a well-packaged realism film, and the audience is touched by the inner world from For women: Yin Xia, her mother, and the aunt who lives with them; they are the core of the film, exuding the brilliance of independence and self-improvement in the suffering of the patriarchal society.
Yin Shiya, mother and aunt, the three women are the epitome of Indian women. They bear the burden of contempt, beatings, and reproaches from men. They were once depressed and hated why they were born into this world. Yin Xia is a representative of the new women, with a voice like nature. She posted a singing video on a video website and became an Internet celebrity. She wants to sing to chase her dream, but her father and mother stopped her from moving forward.
Yin Xia understood the tyranny's father's obstruction, but couldn't understand that her cowardly and fateful mother was also an "accomplice". She thought that her mother had never lived her life in a hurry, and a fierce quarrel broke out. In her aunt's story, she learned that her mother was once a brave, kind, and lively woman. When she was pregnant with her, her father did not want her daughter and wanted her to have an abortion. It was her mother who insisted on giving birth even though she ran away from the family, but later she was not allowed to give birth. Don't go back to your father.
The mother is not cowardly, but has been repeatedly frustrated in the patriarchal society, and has known her destiny until her angelic daughter once again inspired her fighting spirit. At the climax of the film, the family is about to fly to a foreign country. The teenage Yin Xia is faced with marrying a man she has never seen before. At the airport, her mother once again stood by her daughter's side, fighting against her furious father with reason and breaking with him. , no longer living a life of humiliation.
The name "mysterious superstar" has three meanings in one sentence. On the bright side, it is Yin Xia, who is famous for singing in a mask; in essence, it is a mother who fights against the patriarchal world and supports her children's dreams even if she is beaten and abused. The glib and infamous former star played by Mir Khan is also a "mysterious superstar". As a musician, he helps Yin Xiya to realize her dream by listening to her singing, and also discovers the beauty that he has lost, the original intention that he lost, and he will never be lost again.
After thinking about it carefully, after the mother-daughter duo and their father broke up in "Mysterious Superstar", they can continue to live because Yin Xia is famous, financially independent, can support a family, and can live well without a man.
However, how to get rid of the shadow of the male-dominated society is still a profound proposition for the vast number of Indian women who have no independent source of income. Just like Yin Shiya's mother ran away from home at the beginning, she was unable to live alone and returned to the "tyrant" side. You can only "accept your fate", this is a problem that no matter how powerful a movie can be!
