Balram: There is a story about a cunning Brahmin trying to trick the Buddha?

Balram: The Brahmin asks, "Master do you consider yourself man or god?" To which the Buddha smiles and says, "Neither." "I'm just one who have woken up while the rest of you are still sleeping."
Balram: Iqbal, that great Muslim poet, was right when he wrote, "The moment you recognize what is beautiful in this world, you stop being a slave.''
Young Balram: Any poor boy in any forgotten village can grow up to become prime minister of India.
Young Kishan: [to young Balram] Now break every last one. You don't like it? Imagine it's my skull you're breaking.
Balram: The greatest thing to come out of this country in its 10,000-year history... the rooster coop. They can see and smell the blood. They know they are next, yet they don't rebel. They don't try and get out of the coop.
Balram: The trustworthiness of servants is so strong that you can put the key of emancipation in a man's hand and he will throw it back at you with a curse.
Balram: In the old days, when India was the richest nation on Earth, there were 1,000 castes and destinies. These days, there are just two castes. Men with big bellies and men with small bellies. And there are only two destinies, eat or get eaten up.
Ashok: So, Balram, do you know what the Internet is?

Balram: No, sir, but I could drive to the market right now, sir, and get as many as you want.
Ashok: Yeah, I heard you can read. Have you ever seen a computer?

Balram: Yes, sir. Actually, we had many of them in the village, with the goats.
Balram: What a miserable life, having to hide his religion and name just to get a job as a servant.
Balram: Rich men are born with opportunities they can waste.
Balram: Men born in the light, like my master, have the choice to be good. Men born in the coop, like me, we don't have that choice.
Balram: The next morning, Mr. Ashok did something he had never done. He gave me a day off. But by now, I knew the rich never give anything for free.
Balram: I don't give it to you because I need to, but because I want to.
Balram: But for the poor, there are only two ways to get to the top, crime or politics. Is it like that in your country too?
Balram: It was all worthwhile to know, just for a day, just for an hour, just for a minute, what it means not to be a servant.
Balram: The real nightmare is the other kind where you feel like you didn't do it, that you didn't kill your master, that you lost your nerve, and that you're still a servant to another man.
Balram: [narrating] I am not a politician. There are extraordinary men who can kill and move on.
Balram: [narrating] The last days in my success story was to go from social entrepreneur to business entrepreneur. This was not easy. But I had an edge, I had come to Bangalore, and Mr. Ashok had told me the future: out-sourcing.

Balram: [to the camera] I switched sides. I made it, I've broken out of the coop.

Frankly speaking, even the sir in the narration makes me very uncomfortable, and the acting is even more outstanding. How to struggle from the perception of low caste, from brushing the teeth for the first time to seeing the rottenness in the master’s bones, becoming angry with one’s past to being angry with the external environment, there are many but natural entanglement problems, not losing "Parasite", but it’s a pity in the rain The killing began to fail. At the beginning, the report of Muslim superiors is just like his aura, it is really a vague moral environment, the mood of the car accident enters the dilemma, and then the ending is dramatic. The changes in the master are actually very interesting. It vividly interprets the question that Lee Kuan Yew answered: Will the system be changed after being educated in the West and entering the system after returning to China? Lee Kuan Yew said that these overseas students would be changed by the system, and the master later became the master of India. Pinky returned to America to marry Nick Jonas, haha. Moderate, Netflix, 3.5 points, I can see that the director is talented, and I hope he can play on a bigger stage.

Is this filmed for Chinese people? At least the Chinese in the chicken coop should see it. Its advantage is that it is easy to understand, and easy to understand is the most important thing for the people in the chicken coop.
