After watching this movie last night, I almost couldn't sleep all night, crying like a dog at home.
Not only because Zain is a distressed child (he is now my male god), but because there are so many tragedies that could have been avoided.
At the end of the plot, Zain’s parents showed the grief when they mentioned the dead daughter. Many people think that it was the tears of a crocodile. The road to death.
But I believe that their grief is a real emotion—because it is an instinct—just like the reason they chose to give birth to so many children, out of instinct.
However, as an adult, it is not enough to have instinctive emotional reactions. A cat and a dog will be sad when they lose their children. To be a human, you need to get a little reflection in addition to the instinctual emotions, at least, to make a little change.
Zain’s “accidental” imprisonment and the “accidental” death of his daughter seemed to be an accident to the couple, but they did not realize that their own way of upbringing made these tragedies inevitable. Even Zain can see clearly, "The child you are carrying will be like me in the future." They are still clueless.
That mother could also say that "God takes one thing from you, and will give you another thing in return."
I really want to rush into the screen and yell to her, please, where is the god, you took the life of your child, and you decided to once again irresponsibly bring another life into this world. Don't push everything to God.
Let go of the atheist's arrogance, even if it is true that the child is gifted by God as she said, then Zain and his younger siblings are also gifted by God, why can't they not deserve to be treated well?
Treating these precious gifts as tools, did not make them feel warm, happy and safe every day, and did not give them the opportunity to receive education, just thinking about how to make them earn money for the family, and then exuded motherhood when they were pregnant and wanted to stay. The child in the belly.
Sorry, if this is not hypocritical, then it is really just an animal instinct.
Instinctive fertility is irresponsible fertility.
This is why even if I believe their grief is real, I still stand with Zain and accuse them.
Let’s talk about another mother, Rashir, in the movie. Rashir is doing his best to take care of his son Yunus. Even if someone proposes to sell his son to him, she can fix her legal status. Rashir remains unmoved. No matter how difficult it is, son.
However, is Rashir a qualified mother?
Unfortunately, I don't think it is.
Rashir’s son was invisible from birth. He is going to be hidden. He has no legal identity. In the words of the profiteer Apoulos, “Your child lives as a fugitive in this country. Like a mouse, he can't see the sun and can't go to school. Your son died before he was born. "
Lahill may be a good mother, and she has been working hard to do so. But the timing and reason for giving birth to Yunus are wrong. People cannot create a life for love. "The crystallization of love" is just the self-beautification of those parents.
The prerequisite for people to create a life must be: they love this life and have enough ability to raise it.
At the end of the film, Zain's mother said something.
She told the lawyer who had been questioning her (played by the film’s director Labaki), “ I’ve been a slave all my life. You still dare to criticize me. What right do you have to criticize me? Have you ever been in a situation like me? Have you ever experienced what I have experienced? You will never, because you can't live, you can't survive even if you practiced nightmares. If you were me, I would hang myself long ago. "
This passage is like the defense of the "villain" before the end of the film. Even though I hate the couple from beginning to end, I still feel that listening to their defenses (the truth or lies) and trying to understand them, It is important to find out the social structure behind these "irresponsible parents".
In other words, I don’t think that Zain’s parents are irresponsible parents because they are born despicable. Those questions and anger: why they can be so cold-blooded with their own flesh and blood, why those poor people often want to have more Of children-even if it makes their lives worse, these answers are not so much related to personal conduct as it is to say that this is a question of the system.
But what this article wants to emphasize is that while we are working hard to understand and shake that social structure, it is also important to change people's concepts about fertility.
If we cannot be responsible parents, then at least, we can choose not to be parents.
