Crying and laughing, but more meaningful. . .

For India, many Chinese have the impression of a dirty environment, a dirty Ganges, and people who are extremely religious. I remember a piece of news saying that Indian officials do not understand that there are so many Chinese tourists in tourist destinations all over the world. Why are there so few Chinese tourists visiting India? I think that's one of the reasons. But this film gave me another understanding of India in addition to the above impressions. The social environment here is full of various conflicts: national, political, religious, and the caste system, which is difficult for Chinese people to understand.

After watching this film, I checked some of the history of the two countries, India and Pakistan, and I won't go into details. The partition of India and Pakistan, the vendetta between religious factions, and Mahatma Gandhi were also assassinated during this period, forming a More than half a century of mutual hatred between the two countries (you can see this deep-rooted concept between the words of ordinary people in the film).

It was in such a situation that a little Pakistani girl with aphasia strayed to India by accident and was met and brought by the straightforward Uncle Monkey God. The plot grabbed people at once and unfolded in a way that made people laugh and cry: the

male protagonist, Uncle Monkey God, is not a rich and handsome man. He can't read or play sports, but he is extremely pious to the god he believes in ( This is a slot, it can be said that he came across the wall from here), after all, he was a diaosi. He was sent by his father to Delhi to look for a job. Fumei, her father said that he is a Brahmin, which is the highest class in the caste), and lives in the house of his future husband. I originally thought that if you work hard and save money to buy a house, you can marry Bai Fumei, become CEO, and reach the pinnacle of life.
However, the arrival of Little Loli suddenly shattered the male protagonist's beautiful dream into scum. In the future, the first time my husband saw Little Loli, he would ask if she was a Brahmin (the conflict of castes, the husband was afraid that if the child was of a lower caste, living in his own house would tarnish his noble family style. It can be seen in the previous words of the husband that he was extremely proud of his Brahman origin, and was full of disdain for the Muslim neighbor next door). The male protagonist naturally said perfunctorily, you see this child is so cute and beautiful, he must be a Brahman. However, the paper can't contain the fire. The little girl is not used to vegetarian food. She smells the fragrance of the meat cooked by the Muslim house next door, and sneaks to the next door to eat the meat. It's been a while, but I still comfort myself, she's not a Brahmin, at least she's a Kshatriya. Then he took the little loli shopping, and the little girl sneaked into the mosque to pay homage. The male protagonist was completely dizzy at this time, and the person he brought to the old husband's house turned out to be a Muslim. A Muslim should be a Muslim. After all, he is an Indian. If he can get in, he can get away with it. Who knew that when the family watched a cricket match between India and Pakistan, the little girl applauded the Pakistan team and ran to the TV to kiss the Pakistani flag. This time, the last straw that broke the camel finally fell, and the old man was furious, roaring and asking the male protagonist to quickly take the little girl away.

Seeing this, everyone will understand that this little girl is a collection of all ordinary Indians who are most prone to hatred: non-ethnic, Muslim, Pakistani. However, such a naive and lovely child has not done anything wrong, so why does he suddenly become the object of hatred by people? This is the genius of the director, using the cuteness and cuteness of children to set off the absurdity of this unprovoked hatred. The film simply tells the audience that many times, what people hate is not what they can see.

Hate, sometimes not directly from your personal experience, but from your grandparents, from the people around you, from your own country, they tell you that you must hate something because he is in You have hurt your country many years ago, hurt your ancestors, and you must hate it as much as everyone else and carry that hatred on to your descendants. So, you see, thousands of years have passed, the gap between different castes is still there, the conflict between different religions is still continuing, India and Pakistan have been divided for more than 60 years, the people of India and Pakistan talk about each other still full of anger and disdain. But as an ordinary civilian, must he be hurt by the Pakistanis? That fat Pakistani policeman must have been hurt by Indians? Maybe there is, maybe not. What is certain is that there are not many opportunities for an ordinary common man to contact people from the other country in his life. But all of them, without exception, chose to speak ill of each other when they learned that the other party was from another country, even though they didn't know the other party and didn't know whether the other party was really malicious. Therefore, the little girl was immediately expelled, and the male protagonist was also beaten and kicked. But they actually did nothing wrong, being treated like this, dare you say that the little girl will not hate Indians in the future, and the male protagonist will not hate Pakistanis?

However, a movie is a movie, and it will not allow the plot to develop like this. Children are innocent, they will not understand the hatred of the country and the family, so the little girl and the youngest son of the father-in-law can be good friends. Even when the little girl is found out that the little girl is Pakistani, the youngest son will still ask his father, can I still be with him? Mooney (the name given by the male protagonist to the little girl, because the little girl can't speak, she can only give her a name) as a friend? The male protagonist is a devout believer. He believes in his own god and only knows how to treat others sincerely, so even if he is in an enemy country, he can still find people who are willing to help him. When the movie comes here, the theme is very clear, the hostility is not irreconcilable, as long as you can maintain that innocence and sincerity.

In the end, I still have to mention the words of the imam that the male protagonist met in the mosque: We welcome anyone, no matter what sect. So our mosques never lock their doors. I think this is the true meaning of faith. This is not specific to any one religion. Religion is for people to love each other for good. Now, many people's attitudes towards their own religions and towards other people's religions are completely different from the original intention of these religions.

    The next 20 minutes are wonderful and meaningful. But the previous hour was long and had various flaws. Don't hide your flaws. At first I thought it was a boy and a child, but later found out it was a boy and a boy~~
