The flawed screenwriter is disappointing

Secret Superstar

This film has returned to the old feeling of singing and dancing, and the characters are facialized, which are very familiar in Indian films.

The movie plot of "Mysterious Superstar" is completely the old routine in inspirational films. The 15-year-old Indian girl Yin Shiya has loved singing since she was a child, but her father, who is deeply influenced by the social world, firmly opposes such a woman's public appearance. With the support of her mother, Yin Xia named a mysterious superstar with a masked image, and uploaded a video of herself playing and singing original songs on YouTu.com. Her natural singing voice became an instant hit on the Internet, and she instantly accumulated a large number of fans. Even the controversial musician Shakti Kumar threw an olive branch to her. Yin Xiya became famous and her dream came true.

Although I burst into tears while watching "Mysterious Superstar", I know that my tears are not actually for the plot, but to deeply miss my late mother. As far as movie screenwriters are concerned, I personally think that it does not dig deep enough and is too simple. Especially the picture of Yin Xia and her mother fighting wits and courage with her grumpy father, and winning every little victory close to her goal in the contradiction, I can only silently sympathize with this character who has been portrayed as a tyrant in the criticism of the screenwriter. father figure.

I have seen a lot of reports about domestic violence, literature, movies, etc. After Yin Xia's father couldn't control the domestic violence of his behavior, he was actually a very responsible man.

In order to maintain a family of five, Yin Xia's father worked 17 hours a day. When he got home from get off work late at night, the whole family fell asleep. The daughter waited for her father to come home, not to greet her hard-working father, but just to put forward her own needs while her father was in a better mood, and let her father agree with her needs. The first thing my father heard when he came home was not greetings, not sending a cup of hot water, but bringing his needs to his father as soon as possible. Understanding and caring are mutual. If I were my father, I would be very aggrieved. Am I just a slave to a family. Dad was furious because mom forgot to put salt in the soup, and mom didn't express condolences to her husband for her hard work. She just blamed herself deeply because this incident made her daughter lose the opportunity to talk to her dad about her demands.

To say that a father ignores his daughter, "Mysterious Superstar" is also very contradictory in terms of screenwriting. When Yin Xia's mother knew she was a daughter at the beginning of her pregnancy, Yin Xia's father strongly demanded an abortion. Yin Xia's mother escaped from the hospital without having an abortion. After wandering outside for ten months, she took Yin Xia back to her husband and promised that if the second child was a daughter, she would not. In this case, the husband was put aside for ten months without the wife's consultation, and at least the wife and daughter were still accepted. The root of my father's love for domestic violence is that he does not like this illiterate wife who is confused. Although illiteracy is not the wife's fault, it is the society's fault. In India, where women's education level is very low, in order to prevent his daughter from becoming illiterate like her mother, the father sends her to school, and is even willing to pay twice the price to send her daughter to a cram school to learn her backward homework. It's just that Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless, and her daughter's ambition is not studying. She takes all classes carelessly, just blindly immersing herself in the music world woven by herself, wasting her father's hard-earned money in vain. I don't think Dad is a bad guy, it's just that his education and the pressures of life have made him a guy who only knows how to solve problems with violence. The most important thing is that, generally speaking, men who are prone to domestic violence will not let go of any women or children when domestic violence is committed, and the father's fist never falls on the children. Just imagine that a person is working hard to support his family, but when he is on a business trip, his wife and daughter will be very excited when he leaves his forefoot and his wife and daughter dance with joy.

The little girl who played Yin Shia once played Little Gita in "Wrestle, Dad". She grew up by two years in "Mysterious Superstar", but what remained the same was her innocent smile and unadorned youthful color. Yin Xia is a girl who dares to love and hate, her nature is straightforward but also very willful. The portrayal of this image is very successful. Of course, it was all shaped by her mother's hands to grow like this. For Yin Xia, when she follows her, she smiles happily, and when she goes against her, she loses her temper and faces coldly. Of course, apart from the mother's most selfless care and love for her, she is also thankful that the people around her who love her are extremely tolerant and lenient to her. Not to mention that Qin Teng, who loves her, has a good temper and never leaves, and even his little brother is very sensible and generous. Even after secretly hearing her words to encourage her mother to abandon her, she still loves her sister and doesn't know about this little brother. Is it too broad-minded or heartless. Yin Xia can boldly pursue her dreams, but she also selfishly only sees her own gains and losses, which is really the natural appearance of a 15-year-old girl going forward bravely.

Mom's last change came too suddenly. When her daughter brought her a divorce certificate, she retorted her daughter and said, "When I got married, no one asked me if I wanted to marry this person. My daughter asked me to divorce but didn't ask me if I wanted a divorce." . I also applauded secretly, feeling that this screenwriter finally did not let the plot be one-sided. But in the end, in order to have a climax, I let my mother get rid of the illiterate image. Although she refuted some of her husband's words from her daughter, it still feels a little mismatched for an illiterate person. In fact, many of us have the experience of changing our living environment as our parents change their jobs. As parents who are also struggling with their careers and their families, why is it wrong for Dad to go to Saudi Arabia? Your life is your life. Isn't your father's career not your life? This flawed screenwriter, just to make his father's bad temper and rudeness become the cause of Yin Xia's mother and daughter's tragic life, and their inspirational breakthrough, made him sing black faces simply and rudely, but forgot the complexity of life and human nature. multifaceted

From "Three Treasures in Bollywood" to "Forehead God", and then to "Wrestling, Dad", Aamir Khan can always bring me all kinds of surprises and touches, which are thought-provoking and make me refresh the past Prejudice against Indian cinema. Although "Mysterious Superstar" is the work of Aamir Khan Film Company, Aamir Khan's performance in the play once again subverted his previous role, and Yin Shiya's performance is also remarkable, but because of the flawed screenwriter, " Mystery Superstar still disappointed me a bit.
