This Indian movie is recommended by many people, but I dare not watch it. I am also a woman, and I can't watch the fiery life of a middle-aged woman.
I finally watched the movie. The life of the women was even more embarrassing than I imagined, but the whole tone of the movie was not so gloomy. Even in the heavy life, the three lovely women did not give up hope, did not give up their smiles, He did not give up friendship, and finally made every effort to seize every splendor in his life, and finally escaped from the melting pot of life.
(The following contains spoilers)
The stories of the three women are different and have been told by many. I just want to touch on a few thought-provoking details. La Qiao in the play has been married for many years and has no children. Because she cannot have children, she is often beaten by her husband. She is often scarred and ridiculed by the villagers. In a place where "a girl who can read is not a good wife", she does not understand that it may be a man's business for a woman not to have children. When asked by a friend, she knew that a man might not be able to have children, so she went home and told her husband, and the result was a severe beating. The unwilling La Qiao finally plucked up the courage to borrow seeds, and she became pregnant.
Something interesting happened.
She thought her husband would be happy, but when she told him she was pregnant, he got even more angry. She insisted that she was pregnant with a wild breed and said she was a prostitute. La Qiao suddenly realized that her husband knew that it was him who was infertile, but he still wronged her for being infertile after so many years, made various excuses to humiliate her, beat her, and was righteous and did not repent, and did not treat her as a human being at all.
Biliqi is a maiko, and men are vying to be her skirt guests, but no one is serious about her, and she can't even show up at village weddings and funerals. There is only one person, Biliqi's colleague, who has been paying attention to Biliqi. He called Bi Liqi to get up when she couldn't sleep, said good things for her in front of the boss when she went out, paid attention to her every move, paid attention to her joys and sorrows... Just like in our daily life, a The way a man behaves when he loves a woman, he even gives out all his money and wants to take Biliqi away. In the imagination of ordinary people, this man will take Biliqi far away and live a happy life of ordinary people.
In fact, he just wanted to take Biliqi to other places, he was a pimp palace, Biliqi continued to be a prostitute.
These transitions are deep and real, and I don't think the director wants to say that all men in this world are bad. It's just that in rural India, the status of women is extremely low, and they are not respected by men and society. They can't decide their own marriage, they can't choose their lover, they will be married off by their parents when they are teenagers, and the parents will get a large dowry. . As for men, they also have no autonomy in marriage. They have learned from adults and society since childhood that women have no status and are not worthy of respect.
But as a female director, she clearly realized that women who want to change their status cannot rely on men, but must rely on women themselves, so the three women escaped from the backward village together to find their own happiness. , they can weave, they can make money, they can support themselves.
I am reminded of Ibsen's "A Doll's House", and the final result is also, Nora is gone, leaving her false husband. At that time, Mr. Lu Xun also wrote "What Happens After Nora Leaves" for this drama. I also wanted to know what happened to the women in "Hot" after they left, whether they found happiness, or were they melted away by life that was still like a melting pot.
However, the influence of "A Doll's House" is far-reaching. This drama was born in northern Europe. The social status of girls in northern Europe is extremely high. Nordic also has a lot of female presidents and female prime ministers.
A good movie, the benefit is in the contemporary era, and the merit is in the future.
