After watching this film, I went to see the time when the film was filmed. I learned from the film that it was a film made in 2015.
The reason why I want to look at the time is that I have a hard time believing that in the 21st century, there are still such strange things in Indian society.
A woman's husband, father-in-law, and brother can blatantly rape herself without being restrained. Can you believe that this happened in China? It is estimated that Spit Star could drown them. So every time I watch the news and hear that India claims to be a democratic country, I especially want to laugh.
Do democracies trample on women's dignity like this? Do democracies condone abusers like this?
Imagine a woman living in such a country, it's like a nightmare. Fortunately, with the advent of the Internet era, women in the village have gradually received some speeches about women's independence and equality, but the hardships of this road may be more difficult than we imagined.
well, let's get back to business:
This film actually tells the story of three women. The reason why Rani's daughter-in-law is not included is because her daughter-in-law is actually a miniature version of her life.
1. Rani is a housewife who lost her husband in a car accident at a young age. But objectively speaking, losing is also a good thing. Because her husband is often violent to her, a woman who lives under a huge shadow of violence all day will inevitably go to extremes.
Rani supported the whole family by herself. She had to take care of her elderly mother-in-law, and she also had to think about life-long affairs for her unsatisfactory son; but it backfired. The more she hoped to arrange her son's marriage as soon as possible, he The more you can't do it, because the truth that thin mud can't stick to the wall is almost universal.
Her son is too unsatisfactory, and he hangs out with several unemployed youths in the village all day long. They steal, gamble, go to prostitutes... They are almost no exception to the things that men love to do evil. So facing such a son, I don't know what kind of mood Rani is in.
2. La Qiao is also a housewife, the difference is that she has no children, and it is precisely because she has no children that it becomes an excuse for her husband to use violence against her.
Indian men really do things on the surface and behind their backs. La Qiao's husband respects the old and loves the young outside, but when he comes back home, he is simply a villain. He punched and kicked his wife, completely disregarding the couple's affection between the two. Out of frustration and pressure, La Qiao often went back to Lani and Billie to complain.
3. Billie, Lani and Laqiao are three good sisters. She usually works in the song and dance troupe, and occasionally does some flesh business. But she seems to be living in the spotlight, but in fact she still feels a deep sense of loneliness, especially in the face of the boss's difficulties, and in the face of her getting older but still doing some unpopular jobs... .
On the surface, it seems that the film tells the story of three women, but in fact, this film tells the current situation of the vast rural society in Indian society.
In modern society, it is still difficult for India to elevate the status of women. This is really an extremely strange existence/the lives of the majority of women in rural areas can really be described as appalling. Especially when I see the elders and the men in the village, they all know that they are sitting under a big tree chatting all day long. They are the scum of the society. How dare they say that this is their culture? Looking at the world, which society is still like this today? I think it's almost hard to find a country other than India.
The most touching thing about this film is that in order to keep her daughter-in-law from repeating her old path, Rani resolutely chose to elope with her daughter-in-law and her other half. For a woman who is deeply in the rural environment, it takes great courage to make this decision. So I admire Rani's decision very much, because if he doesn't do it, then the three families will be hurt in the end, but she has fulfilled her daughter-in-law, which means that except for her unsatisfactory son, the rest will be almost right. Everyone is good.
In the end, the three women chose the big city, which was undoubtedly the right choice. Because in big cities, people don't care so much about your origin or your appearance, and they care more about your ability. If they all choose to stay in that traditionally closed village for this lifetime, then it can be said responsibly that the lives of the three women will be a very miserable and miserable life.
The same applies to Rani's daughter-in-law. She will have a better future only if she goes to a big city, because it recognizes your ability and is willing to give young people more room for development.
