"Mystery Superstar" is another masterpiece of the Indian box office myth Aamir Khan. Just seeing his name makes you want to go to the cinema and feast on it. As always, it's an inspirational theme. The whole film covers dreams, growth, maternal love, friendship... These warm words alone are not enough to describe this film. The core theme is actually the worrying "domestic violence".





The film begins with a group of students singing on the train, and when Isiah pulls out her guitar, the surroundings quiet down. When she opened her mouth to sing, Qin Teng, a male classmate who admired her, appeared. A good movie is one that can make people ignore the appearance of the character. I have to say that this male classmate looks very weak, and he doesn't feel heartbroken at all when he sees him. After Isiah learned from him that she could get a laptop to participate in the competition, she happily went home and begged her mother to allow her to participate in the competition.





In this family that has been shrouded in domestic violence for many years, she and her mother can't even decide this trivial matter. Dad would fight against mom at every turn, even if she just forgot about little things like boiling water. It can be said that other members of the family, except for my father, have lived in fear for many years. The feeling is that I said something ordinary, but as soon as my father's expression became silent, I was worried that the slap would fall. When you want to hurry up and finish quickly, but you haven't seen the action for a long time, the mood is the most tormented and frightening. It doesn't seem so scary when it really starts.

From the father's point of view, he married an illiterate wife and did not want to have a daughter to lead her life, and even forced her to have an abortion. He worked hard to support an old man, wife, and two children. The wife is illiterate, her status at home is naturally the lowest, and she is an air bag. He wants his daughter to study hard and hopes that she will become a literate person. After her job is confirmed, she will marry her daughter to a man she has never met.



The uneducated woman in India seems to have written her life from the moment she was born. Although her mother is uneducated, she is gentle and strong. Her love for her daughter has never stopped since she was pregnant. She betrayed her husband who never dared to disobey and ran out to give birth to her daughter. She sold her necklace to Isiah to buy a computer. Posting her own creations on the Internet... Because she was beaten by her husband many times for these things she did, and suffered both physical and mental harm, but she refused and severely criticized Isiah when her daughter took out the divorce agreement. Such a reaction is probably that she has no idea that her destiny will change at all. She said that all women are like this, and all men will beat men. What should I do if I leave a man?




On the one hand, her thinking is limited by the surrounding environment, and she cannot imagine other possibilities. On the one hand, there is no trust in her daughter. After all, Isiah is only 15 years old, and she has the courage to secretly take two planes to Mumbai. This time, she didn't believe that the straw of her daughter could save her and change her fate. But she became dependent on and used to such a bad life. Isn't that what life is like? At most, it's just a meal. Just be careful in the future. How can the family be separated?
Isiah later learned about her mother's love and dedication to her. In order to respect her mother who loved her, she decided to give something to her as well. Isiah gave up persuading her to divorce, and also gave up her dream, ready to accept her father's arrangement for her. life.
If that's the case, then this movie can't be considered inspirational.

They have everything ready, ready to embark on the road of no return of their dreams. At the airport, my mother saw with her own eyes that her 15-year-old daughter was skilled at changing tickets, and generously asked the stranger who occupied her seat to get up and leave... Her eyes became approving, which also buried her mother's "no" to her father. Foreshadowed.






The last straw that broke her was her father's request that the guitar must be thrown away, but without Isiah's familiarity with the unfamiliar environment, it is estimated that she still doesn't know what to do, and she will still be the illiterate woman who can only accept it. She saw in her daughter a different attitude towards life besides accepting misery and suffering. This attitude of saying "no" will not make her doomed, nor will it attract scorn, but it can exchange for her own right to respond. and dignity.
Whether it is the straw that crushes you or the straw that can save your life, it is only the qualitative change after the quantitative change. It can be overwhelmed because there is already an inestimable weight and resignation in front of it. I can save my life because I have made countless expectations and efforts.
The injury suffered by the mother in the film is caused by her too narrow vision. It cannot but be said that part of the reason for such a life is her mentality. What changed her was her love for her daughter. Without the love she gave, naturally this straw would not have fallen into her hands. Therefore, whether to be crushed to death by a straw, or to find a straw to save one's life, the fate is ultimately in one's own hands.

    Insia: It depends on the situation... If you want to eat chicken, the egg comes first - it hatches into a chicken, which you cook. But, if you want to eat an omelette, the chicken comes first - it lays the egg, which you make into an omelette.
