      Everything is ridiculously just right

      I don’t know where to start, whether it is the sincere friendship between the poor or the hypocrisy and power of the rich (the film seems to be too clear about good and evil), or the advantages and disadvantages of public and private institutions, the requirements for admissions and how to make money, or the parents Everyone knows the rules they obey silently.

      Aftermath of the starting line

      We watched an Indian movie "Starting Line" about a pair of parents who went to great lengths to get their daughters to the best school and education, buying houses around the school and going with their children Training institutions to study, and even to ask others, but have not succeeded. Inadvertently, they learned that 25% of the places in this school are for poor students, so they pretended to be poor and moved to the slums. Here, they made a lot of good-hearted poor people. A friend...

      Class Dilemmas and Educational Equity

      Just for movies.

      "Class" sounds like a word that divides people. In fact, many words are, and so is education. Class can be preceded by all kinds of attributives, and it is these attributives that really trap people, because we are always looking at the height of this mountain. What's more, the mountain may laugh at the lowness of the mountain.

      What does the real upper class look like? Is it not being able to dance with the kids to the...

      starting line

      After seeing the introduction of the movie "Starting Line" and knowing that it is an educational film, I became interested in this movie. It's an Indian film about a wealthy family who wants their children to go to the best school and does whatever it takes. I ordered movies in advance, and I don’t usually buy snacks when watching movies. This time I also bought a set meal with two glasses of Coke and popcorn. This was strongly requested by the child, and in order to...

      "Starting Line" after watching

      The Raj and his wife own a clothing store and are an embarrassing middle class in Indian society: unable to squeeze in and unwilling to fall. They did everything they could to get their daughter Pia into a good school.

      After confirming that Pia was not admitted to a school, Mitta was desperate, but Raj was still working hard; one night, the servants visited the Raj and his wife with a wedding cake, and they found out from the servant's mouth that as long as they applied Poverty proves...

    Positive review

    The dialogue between the Raj and his wife in the film analyzes the fundamental reason why Indian society attaches importance to education: a good education can give children an advantage and climb to a higher class. And fit. Most of the comedy in the film takes place when the Raj couple pretends to be a class they don't belong to. This huge contrast not only provided enough jokes for the audience, but also deeply reflected the huge gap...

    Negative evaluation

    In terms of screenwriting skills, "Hindi Medium" spends too much space to express the urgency of the Raj couple's constant sacrifice for further education, but does not pay attention to the interaction between parents and children, and the shaping of the personality of daughter Pia. Almost zero, which is really a pity. The film's concealment of the caste system 's criticism has made the second half of the film almost a social allegory...
