      "My Land and My People": What can I do to save the homeland of deep love

      A senior engineer working for NASA’s NASN just passed the process of applying for American citizenship. It was the day of his parents’ death, and he remembered the nanny who grew up in his hometown in India. In order to do the last filial piety, but I missed the mood. The engineer decided to take time off to return to the country and take the nurse to the United States to spend a comfortable and happy old age. In a blink of an eye, from the high-tech America to the backward and impoverished...

      Why is India a great nation

      Written on December 22, 2010

      At first glance at the name, I didn't understand the meaning of my land and my people.

      He is a man with very delicate emotions, just like those weak scholars in Qiong Yao's works. He often has tears in his eyes and is easily moved by the people and things around him.

      He is an Indian, but he is a citizen of the United States, and he is engaged in satellite launches for NASA. The United States, a country that has...

      "The burdens and disasters of life are harassing us all the time"

      I also like the clip from the Tokachi Festival performance "Ramayan" in the film. The singing and dancing are very beautiful. The monkey army played by the children is native and cute. The reaction of the audience and the effect when Rama appeared made me the first time. I have a little understanding of why Rama has such a high status among the Indian people. The protagonist’s lyrics show this. Rama is not an epic hero, but the kindness and hope in people’s hearts. The most important thing he...

      Should be 8 points or more

      I saw a lot of low scores in the short review, and I was a little bit disappointed. This film was made in 2004, which is 7 years earlier than the three silly, but it is more realistic and romantic than the three silly as a whole, and it should definitely be higher than 8 points, although the story It's very simple: children who have been away for many years go home to find relatives and reap their love and settle in their hometown... But it tells simple stories that are very touching, and...

      The power of tradition

      Watching this film reminds me of countless revolutionary martyrs in modern history. China and India have the same profound traditions, but when faced with suffering, India and China have different choices. China's resistance is fierce, while India's resistance is submissive. Of course, I am not saying that all Chinese people resist fiercely. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of Chinese people who are similar to Indians. Everyone is just ordinary people. Then I think the difference may be...

      Shasha's film, the female lead is not good-looking, the Indian film is really patriotic~ It is lacking in Chinese films. When we talk about patriotism, it seems to be very artificial, but when I look at it, I feel really...

      Many translations of Indian films lack aesthetics, even vulgar. The translation of "My Land and My People" is very attractive and can also convey what the film wants to express. This is a sentimental movie. I think Kaveri's mother is a symbol of Indian mothers. Before returning to India, the male protagonist said regretfully, "I forgot her." The film is not realistic, I can understand the feelings, but I really can't understand the choice. The lens shows various aspects of the village of...

    Movie quotes

    • Mela Ram: Apni chaukhat ka diya, giving light to neighbor's house

    • Fatima Bi: Apne hi paani me mil jaana barf ka muqqadar hota hai.

    • Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here. And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country. This country is on the path of destruction. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. You'll need to do something about this. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. This applies to me too. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed. Because the problem is us. Me, you, all of us...

      Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying?

      Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition.
