I remember that there was an old domestic movie "Beauty Walk", which was played by Shangguan Yunzhu and Huang Zongying. It tells the story of three women's changes in the melting pot of the times. The change of the times has awakened women, and the rise of women's status is not only an important symbol of the progress of the times, but also an aspect of measuring the advanced level of a country. From this point of view, the emergence of this Indian film directed by a female director is already worthy of our praise.
The protagonists of the film are also three women. Three unhappy but happy middle-aged women. Their misfortune is not so much a bad life as it is a social problem. There is hardly a truly happy woman to be seen in the film. Even the cultural man left the village because his husband was beaten. The film shows such a sad fact: in a backward, closed and ignorant environment, it is always the kind and weak people who are hurt the most.
What impresses me most is the smiles of the women. In such a place they are still trying to find joy. After all, life still has to go on, let's face it with a smile, although there are tears in the smile.
