Starting line: As a poor man, we can only not be happy with things and not be sad about ourselves

When I go to the film reviews of this film, the most common sentence I see is: This kind of situation is so common in China, why can't we make it? It is not the first time that such a question has been raised. In recent years, excellent Indian films have appeared frequently, and the thinking that has been triggered in China is also one after another. In fact, this theme also exists in domestic dramas. There was a debate about school district housing in "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" before, but the different results of the two are obvious: "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" makes people feel realistic Life is scary, and Starting Line gives us a glimmer of hope.

The final ending of "Starting Line" is predictable. Although Raj and the others are rich, they can only struggle hard in the rich circle. Instead, they get affection and help in the poor area. Don't squeeze in the so-called circles that don't belong to you. If you wronged yourself, it will be difficult for others. Therefore, Raj must eventually return to his own circle. Society is the sum of human-to-human relationships. Even if Raj can give up his social relations for Piya's studies, he is boycotting their rich circle. Ya's social relations can not be constructed.

Unexpectedly, Raj's last move should have no impact on the principal. In fact, this may be the reality. In the face of power, the common people are often ineffective in resisting. However, even if it didn't work, after that action, both Raj and the audience should feel a lot more at ease. Moreover, I saw that one parent actually wanted to applaud, although her husband blocked it, and although they could not all transfer their children to respond to Raj's call, at least they were touched in their hearts. This is already very precious.

When I saw the back, I suddenly forgot the content of the beginning of the movie, a small fashion shop, a young man who seemed to fall in love with a beautiful client at first sight, then what? After watching the movie and re-reading the opening chapter, I found out that the young man is the protagonist of the movie Raj, and the story of love at first sight is the story of Raj and Guta meeting and falling in love.

This love story doesn't seem to have much to do with the later plot that needs to be pointed out, but it is the point that I remember for a long time. Because the love between the two is not only beautiful, but also a combination of active pursuit and disregard of worldly vision. It is precisely because of such a beautiful beginning that there is a ridiculous plot and a happy ending.

Because of such a beautiful love, we see that even if sometimes Raj disagrees with Ghouta's point of view, he still tries his best to satisfy her, and in such a difficult time, the two support each other and go on. I really like to read the story of them in the poor area. Although it was a very difficult time, because of love, they should not feel hard.

Because of such a beautiful love, we see that although they want to let their daughter go to a prestigious school, after various experiences, they are able to uphold the justice in their hearts and do their best to contribute to the education of children in poor areas. , It seems deviant, but it is always a decision in the heart.

The product of beautiful love is always so moving.

In the training class, Raj and Ghouta have undergone a transformation. They have learned a lot of major principles, how to dress and how to deal with the interviewer's questions. They have learned all these very well, but in the end, the interview Still failed. The reason for being rejected is that they are businessmen, and even if they have money, they are still not high enough.

And I think that the identity of the businessman is just an excuse, the real reason is their well-trained answers, not from the heart at all.

After the plan of pretending to be rich goes to waste, they can only pretend to be poor. The reality is such an irony. At the beginning, I did everything possible to escape from the circle to achieve my goal, but finally found that only by returning to this circle can I achieve the goal.

Going back to the poor area (it should be a poorer area than the place they moved from at the beginning), just to be poor for a month, but here, they learned by themselves what the training course had taught them. When Raj finally said the answers in the auditorium that he had memorized, he no longer felt twisted, because those words were sincere at the moment.

The truth can be heard from other people's mouths, but it is not easy to understand these truths. It was his poor friend Shiam who taught Raj to understand these truths.

In "Three Fools", there is a sentence that impressed me deeply: We don't want our good friends to be poor in the test, but we don't want our good friends to be better than us. Bo Yang said that the core view of ugly Chinese people is that the Chinese people have serious infighting. From this point of view, this phenomenon should not only be Chinese characteristics.

When Raj was most embarrassed, Shyam was the first to lend a helping hand. Although it was purposeful, it was indeed timely help; when Raj was questioned that he was not really poor, Shyam helped him explain In the past, Raj was given a chance to become a poor man; when Raj was at a loss on the first day of work and the salary was not deducted enough, it was Shyam who took half of his small salary to give Raj home to do business. , because he said that a man can't go home empty-handed; when Raj couldn't afford to pay for his children to go to school, it was Shyam who jumped under the moving car and Pengci got a sum of money, despite the behavior It's not very fair, but it's really moving to think about the hardships of the poor...

Shyam is a sturdy poor man, he doesn't know the big reason, he only knows how to fight for his own goals. As an ordinary person, Shyam also resented, especially when he found out that Raj had obtained a degree by deception, and this degree, which might have belonged to his own son, broke out.

He was desperate to expose this dark incident, his anger, as if nothing could stop him, but when he bumped into Pia on the road, when Pia naively called him "Uncle Shyam", his Anger subsided.

It was Raj who did the wrong, and it had nothing to do with Piya, but was he going to ruin Piya's future? Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, as a father, Shiam knows too much how crazy adults will act for the sake of children, so for the sake of children, bear with this grievance.

Shyam silently suffers from the unfairness of life, he may complain about his incompetence, but he does not know that he himself is a book, leading by example to guide the future direction for Raj.

The final ending, I say is complete, Raj and Guta went round and round and returned to the circle of the poor. Although Pia eventually left the famous school, if the famous school is under the guidance of such a principal, it’s okay not to go to it. Well, besides, those kids in public schools are also very good, aren't they? Shyam still lives a poor life, but at least his children's education has improved, and as a father, he is really satisfied.

Everything has returned to its original appearance, and it is also the best appearance. It is as beautiful as Raj and Guta met for the first time. I believe that the days to come will continue to be so beautiful.
