Several questions about Hasta

dad,

Go to sleep.

Otherwise Hasta will come back to find you.

1. The beginning of the curse

In fact, it was very clear at the beginning of the film. Maybe some people would think that if it were not for the greed of the male protagonist and deliberate contact with grandma, it might not have caused three generations of tragedies. In fact, poverty is eroding the lives of the Indian people. If you don’t find another way, only death, bereavement and tears of loved ones are waiting for you. The encounter between the male protagonist and Hasta is inevitable, and the death of his brother is only one factor that promotes the idea that "it can't go on like this". Just as Grandma Tree said to the male protagonist 16 years later: "If you choose here, you have no choice." The choice that history puts before the eyes of the people is indeed the case. One is to continue endless poverty and death, and the other is to let one's own desire to explore. Both are no return.

2. Why did the male lead choose the female lead to be the mistress?

There is no real heroine in the film. As for why she chooses a female protagonist, the performance is obvious. The female protagonist is not only online, but also has excellent judgment (why sell another 50 yuan for 50 yuan), because she perceives that the chances of staying with the boys will be good. Some. The male protagonist’s original match actually lost communication and humbleness, and her poor and humble life carved marks on her body, leaving her with no time to understand the man’s heart. Therefore, the female protagonist is more like a confidant of the male protagonist, a secretary, and a spy. The secrets (such as the confession of a son) in front of her are equivalent to being transparent to the male protagonist.

"He doesn't like anything", this is how the son described the protagonist in the film. Indirectly determines that he does not have much pursuit of beauty, in fact, he just needs a place to put secrets. And it just so happens that money is just a person's guts.

3. Why does the hero cry when he thinks of his mother?

When facing the male lead safe, the son said that so many gold coins can live a lifetime, one of which reflects that the son is not greedy by nature, and may be inherited from the mother or grandmother's simplicity. The second also reminds the male protagonist of his mother. Although the film doesn't explain much about his mother's future situation, it is clear that the mother chose another path, endless poverty and death. The suffering of the hero at this time is a dilemma that can never be resolved. He can neither go back to the past life nor step under the quagmire of desire.

4. A doughman summons a Hasta

Desire and risk are relative. The size of the box is the blood rule left by our ancestors who have explored step by step. It is only for insurance but not for advancement. So some people think why not kneading a big dough person, I think it is extremely possible to get a giant Hasta (why don't you think why grandma became a monster?). The male protagonist’s greed is restrained. He is the heir to the rules. What allowed him to obey the rules for so many years may be because he was born and desperate like his ancestors, as long as he changed, as long as he did not live back to the previous life. The son was born in a rich second-generation family, which means that his vision has been on a stepping stone. Although he has courage, he was defeated at a young age. The final dissolution of the gap between the two generations is to sacrifice one generation.

5. The last laugh of the male protagonist when the son refused the waist bag

Maybe it was to comfort my son to escape the curse in the end, or maybe it was to let go of the life of my ancestors in the past. If life is always in a dilemma, the possibility of destruction is a relief. Burn your grandma, burn your friends, burn yourself, your new life will be in the hands of a new generation. Although his son's future is likely to face the same situation, his birth has broken the cycle of poverty. His vision and experience are no longer the same as those of ordinary people, and his life may have enough springboards to escape the dilemma. Whether it is a cycle or an advance, this question no longer needs to be answered by the previous generation. As long as there is an unknown in life, it means that there will be another kind of life.
