The starting line is not everything

"Starting Line" is still a genre film that fits the general public, uses the goodness of small people to confront the evil of top-level design, and uses goodness to influence evil. Although the scene of singing and dancing as soon as lyrical and the exotic flavor of the unique strong curry flavor make it clear at a glance: this is a pure Indian film. But it still can't stop the Chinese people's pursuit and love for their movies. In the film, middle-class Indian parents struggle with their children's education but find it difficult to go along. Taking the starting line as the name, it not only fits the content, but also resonates with people. Many parents in our country often say, don’t let their children lose at the starting line. Parents have strengthened their children’s education from kindergarten, and even later prenatal education has become popular, for fear that their children will be left behind if they are not careful. In fact, the success of a person is affected by many factors, such as the social status and economic status of the family. High social status and high economic conditions will inevitably bring children a broader perspective, better educational resources, and the family itself. It also influences the child subtly. Some communication etiquette and physical demeanor are embedded in his bones unknowingly. But it's not absolute, but relatively speaking, the chances of being excellent have a much greater chance of success. There is still a big gap in education between urban and rural areas. Children in cities are also significantly different from children in rural areas. There are indeed injustices in society. Especially in our human society, human connections are very important. People at the bottom can't give up on themselves because of this, but continue to work hard and strive for a better life than before. Once you stop moving forward, you will soon be obliterated, as if you never existed. The essence of education is to eliminate social injustice. The so-called "starting line" is just a layer of invisible anxiety that the real society puts on parents.

    The ending is a bit false. Are there really vested interests willing to sacrifice their privileges for the benefit of the disadvantaged to teach their children a lesson in "what is justice"? Really rich people will probably let their children learn how to use the rules like they do. The real highlight of the film is that it captures the phenomena of school district housing, lottery, backdoor access, and commercialization of education. In the film, the hypocrisy of the rich and the anxiety of the middle class are like a mirror image of our country.

    I can't guarantee that everyone will like the unpopular surprise this year, but I really like it. Both male and female lead actors are excellent, and the content feels like a genius shooter, but in terms of satire on the education system, it is much more realistic and fun than the three idiots making troubles in Bollywood at that time. By the way, it is no wonder that after watching so many Indian films, I have no impression of the heroine, so she is from Pakistan.
