#WednesdayMovie# The 19th issue of "White Tiger" PART2 Recommended star: Samsung
Everything is a joke. It's a pity that Ping Ji's mantra in the novel was deleted. The novel is very straightforward, and the movie is well preserved. Many words are displayed through images, which will give people a more direct and intuitive feeling, which is exactly in line with this confessional murder story.
You've been looking for the key for years, and the door is always open. No one is born a slave or a servant. Don't think of yourself as a slave, but as a servant.
This sentence is actually not only for the protagonist Baram, but for those who are struggling to find freedom, it is ironic. The novel mentions that many foreigners came to India to find keys and seek enlightenment. They went on a pilgrimage to the Ganges, as if the Ganges could cleanse everything, but in the author's eyes, the Ganges was a dirty river full of feces, straw, and corpses, and there was nothing that could be respected.
This movie, or this novel, I think the most stinging part is that it vividly describes the psychology of the servant. I always thought that was far away, but I found that in the present life, there is more than that.
Two of the most obvious characteristics of a servant are living like an animal and servile servility to those of the upper caste. The servants in the tea shop are not qualified to sit, they can only curl up in the back and wait for customers, squatting on the ground with their backs bent. Balam was sitting on the floor at Akshaw's house, pinching his master's feet at any time. In the back, even if the owner asked him to sit on the sofa, he would involuntarily squat on the uncomfortable floor. These habits are deeply ingrained.
The first time Balam met the Akshaw's, he hurried over to do the foot salute—a ritual of touching someone's toes with his forehead. Then he squatted on the ground, looked up at his master and spoke. It is clear from the novel that Baram often feels guilty. Although he did not like the contemptuous tone of his master, there was still a smile on his face. And some rude behavior of the master, he will try to excuse them in his heart. But they never really treated him, and there was a momentary hypocrisy.
It is also mentioned in the novel that many drivers in the prison are drivers who have been accepted on behalf of their masters, and their families are even happy, considering it a sign of loyalty. Faithful as a watchdog, is a qualified servant. And when Baram was scapegoated, he realized it was incorrect. But he never thought of the idea of running away, and he never flashed the idea of telling the truth.
The master was a little weak, and his anger disappeared without a trace. Since childhood, I have been indoctrinated to love the master and not hate the master, so I can't see through the true feelings in my heart. He gave me money, he showed me kindness, how could I be bad to the master. When the desires of servants take root in him, they poison his mind and body.
The master thinks that the servant should be able to bear everything. So on the night of the collision, he was easily abandoned on a strange street. Others can do without him, but a servant cannot live without a master. It is necessary to get out of this kind of thinking in order to achieve real awakening.
Balam may not have figured out in the end whether he loves Akshaw or hates Akshaw. Why is it contradictory, because he still has the heart of a slave in his heart. Akshaw is kind to people and doesn't have too many airs. Although he has the nature of a landlord in his heart, his nature is not too bad.
Balam killed him just because he gave him this opportunity, and his other two masters could not have given him such an opportunity. In order to escape the chicken coop, he must seize this opportunity. Compared with the framework of "Parasite", I think this film is closer to the second story of "The Fantastic Drift of Pi", but their protagonists have different ways of handling their hearts.
Balam finally chose to jump out of the cage in an extreme way, but in any case, he succeeded in the story. And he and his master have different methods and principles, and it has become a kind of black compliment. Finally, I also end with a passage from the book. Poetry is a kind of secret, and there are some symbols and symbols in it. I hope that when we are exploring, we will not only look at its superficial meaning, but ignore the inner meaning.
Hello everyone, I am the innocent second cousin, I update the movie every Wednesday, I hope you will like it.
