Everyone was dancing and singing happily, but the protagonist of the wedding—the bride, a girl in her teens—was not happy.
After the wedding celebrations, Geeta and Babita complain to their soon-to-be-married friend about their father's harshness. "He wants you to have your own life," but the little brides envy them for having such a father.
Because Geeta and Babita will not be married to unknown people as early as she did, and since then, they will be husbands and children, and they will deal with bottles and cans all their lives, and their future lives will be seen at a glance.
The future described by the little bride with a bitter face is the real life of Yin Xia's mother Nayama in "Mysterious Superstar", and her life is even more miserable than what the little bride describes.
What kind of husband she is married to, no one asks her if she is willing or not; she manages housework after marriage, and is rejected by her husband as uneducated. .
Compared to "Wrestling! The stern wrestler's father Mahavira in "Dad", Yin Shia's father can be said to be a scumbag.
When I got home, I felt that I should be an emperor, and my wife and daughter were just slaves. If the water is too hot or the food is unpalatable, he can beat his wife at any time.
The only thing he can do is that he is willing to pay for his daughter to go to school. However, his purpose is only to marry off his daughter in the future, because it is now popular to find a literate wife.
Even so, he did not forget to belittle and despise his wife all the time, in order to show his magnanimity, saying that marrying you is what I can bear, but others can't bear it.
Faced with his daughter's musical dream, the father's response was - "Trash, it's all rubbish!"
He broke the strings of the guitar and ordered Yin Xia to throw the most beloved computer downstairs. If Nayama hadn't tried desperately to stop him, there is no doubt that he would have beaten Yin Shia.
"Wrestle! Geeta and Babita of "Dad" are lucky to meet a father who wants his daughter to have a life of her own. However, such fathers are not common in a patriarchal society.
In "Mysterious Superstar", Yin Xia's father is the norm. The experience they have learned from tradition is that they are extremely patriarchal, and they don't even want their daughter to be born into the world at all.
Niyama, a typical woman under the heavy pressure of a patriarchal society, has no self-awareness, is despised and beaten, and can only choose to endure it silently. She even thinks that all this is because she is stupid, and that it is an arrangement of fate. It is impossible to escape and should not escape.
But it is such a mother who still does her best to open a window for her children, care for her daughter's dream, and even educate her son well.
In "Mysterious Superstar", the screenwriter and the audience played a little trick. At first we thought it was the Indian version of "The Voice of Joy", which tells the story of a talented musical girl growing into a "mysterious superstar". The girl's mother, Niyama.
This illiterate woman whose fate has been decided by others all her life has only resisted twice in her life, but both times were extremely courageous and profound.
The first time she was found to be pregnant with a girl, the whole family escorted her to the hospital for an abortion. The doctor was too busy to schedule the operation until the next day, so she sneaked away from the hospital at night and returned home with the baby girl ten months later.
This baby girl is the later "mysterious superstar" Yin Xia. It's hard to imagine how this mother, who has no source of income and only writes her own name, has spent these ten months.
The second time was at Mumbai Airport.
After learning about the sacrifices her mother made for herself, Yin Xia decided to give up her dream and give up her resistance, and let her father arrange for her to go to Saudi Arabia and marry a man she didn't know.
However, on the way to Mumbai, Niyama saw her daughter's independence, determination and ability. The daughter managed the boarding pass and checked luggage for the family by herself at the counter, and confidently let the male passenger occupying the window seat give up her seat.
Niyama was shaken, and began to think about living a life of humiliation like herself, and finally sending her daughter on the same life path, and letting her son grow into a man who hates her husband as much, should it?
Niyama broke out when her husband, not wanting to pay for the shipping, ordered her daughter to throw the guitar in the trash.
When her husband tried to threaten her again with force, Niyama silently opened the suitcase, took out the divorce agreement that had been hidden for a long time, and wrote the only word that could be written—his own name, and then left with a pair of children holding their heads high.
Although, she didn't know where she should go in the future, at least at this moment, she knew that her choice was right.
This is the first time in her life that she has made a choice on her own - even under powerful habits and worldly pressure, she has obeyed her heart.
"Wrestle! In "Dad", the father gave his daughter another choice in life; in "Mysterious Superstar", it was the cowardly mother who protected the growth of the musical genius girl, and even broke with her most feared world for the child.
From the father's "liberation" in the patriarchal society to the spontaneous resistance of mothers and daughters in a lower social status, Aamir Khan used two films to show his thoughts and expectations on the living conditions of Indian women.
Aamir Khan, who is called "Uncle Mi" by Chinese fans, is definitely a wonderful flower in the entertainment industry trend of entertainment until death and making money first. He is one of the few filmmakers who has always used his works to care about reality.
"Three idiots make trouble in Hollywood" reflects on India's education system, "Wrestle! "Dad" and "Mysterious Superstar" explored the unequal social status of women in India for two consecutive episodes...
He did a TV talk show called "Truth Interview", and each episode was poking at the ugliest scars in society - strangling baby girls, Child sexual abuse, huge dowry, domestic violence, caste system.
Uncle Mi stated the facts on the show, hugged and comforted the parties, never deliberately provocative, but led the audience to ask themselves: What can we do? Are we too fond of blaming tradition?
In fact, "Mystery Superstar" was inspired by "Truth Interview".
Writer and director Avati Chan Dean saw the real domestic violence incident mentioned in the first season of the show, and used the mother-daughter relationship as the basis for the story of "Superstar".
Later, in the third season of the show, he saw the story of a little boy learning to play golf from social networks, so he set social networks as the way for the heroine of "Mysterious Superstar" to become famous.
In "Mysterious Superstar", Yin Xia has been along the way. Her mother and boyfriend have helped her a lot, but there is still one person who can be called Bole on her music road - a musician who is notorious for divorce and bad temper. Shakti Kumar.
Needless to say, such a challenging role must have been played by Uncle Mi himself.
It is worth mentioning that Yin Xia's actor is "Wrestling! The actor Seira Worthy, who played Uncle Mi's eldest daughter, Geeta, was a child in "Dad". Uncle Mi and her are considered "father and daughter reunion" in "Mysterious Superstar".
In this movie, Shakti Kumar, played by Uncle Mi, asked her to sing for his movie, helped her meet with his ex-wife's divorce lawyer, and told her that with her talent, she would definitely become a superstar.
Do you have the style of a life mentor? However, Shakti Kumar simply refreshed Uncle Mi's big screen impression! It is also enough to play Uncle Mi, a wrestler who does not hesitate to gain weight, and to play a Bollywood washing, cutting, blowing and killing Matt.
Skinny jeans + exaggerated hairstyle + blingbling accessories + sexy moaning voice, attracting bees and butterflies whenever there is a chance - Uncle Mi turned into Shakti Kumar has a "stunning" song and dance, which is definitely "Mysterious" The biggest easter egg in Superstar.
Friendly reminder: Don't leave after watching the movie, Uncle Mi's easter eggs are waiting for you~
