When I watched this movie in the theater, I could not help but be moved to tears. The story is relatively simple, but there are many tears. It can be said that it was contracted by the mother in the play alone. The illiterate mother married a grumpy, The father, who is prone to domestic violence, is not an exaggeration to say that he lives in dire straits. The mother who loves her daughter deeply and tries her best to realize her daughter's wish. Even if she sells her own necklace, she also buys a laptop for her daughter, so as to help her. Both my daughter and myself have opened up a new world.
The sensationalism at the end of the film reached a high point: when the guitar became the fuse, the mother resolutely refused to go to Saudi Arabia and took her daughter to the awards scene. Unsurprisingly (although there were some twists and turns), the daughter won the grand prize, and thanked the mother and daughter on the spot. My dream came true and my mother was free. It looks like an inspirational story for everyone.
However, after a few days, when I look back on the whole story, I have a different opinion: If it wasn't for the daughter's success in the end, would the story still be so inspiring? The 15-year-old daughter is actually the same as her father. , If it is not for the talent of singing, it is actually a problem girl (of course it is not so serious, more of a rebellious adolescent girl), and mother, is more connivance to her daughter's education, is this correct? ? Therefore, the daughter was only 15 years old, but she wanted to divorce her parents. Instead of asking her mother's wishes, she decided for her.
In addition, it is not right for the father to be violent, but is he useless? Working hard, working overtime until midnight to support the whole family, it is true that sons are more important than daughters, but I am still willing to spend double the tuition fee for my daughter to go to a cram school and to give her a chance to attend a summer camp. The reason why I have to break my guitar , because she was dissatisfied with the report card that her daughter got back, and hoped that her daughter would be relieved.
In order to create conflict, the film magnifies the violent side of his father, while weakening the exhaustion and burden of a middle-aged father. In order to show the importance of dreams, the daughter's talent and courageous pursuit are magnified. There is indeed a tradition of patriarchal preference in Indian culture. Domestic violence is also a common occurrence in many families. There is no need to doubt Aamir Khan's intentions, but it may be better if he can see the AB side of the film at the same time.
The relevance for India is still significant, so five stars.
