Behind-the-scenes tidbits of gangster's peace dream

The latest hit comedy in Bollywood, India, in 26 is the sequel to the hit film Gangsters Playing in Hospitals in 25. In this gangster movie, the role of Mahatma Gandhi is played almost from beginning to end, and Gandhi's philosophy and spirit are carried through the whole film.

A week after the film was opened in the capital New Delhi, the municipal government used the film to promote Gandhi's pursuit of truth and non-violent struggle, and announced that the film could be exempted from paying entertainment tax. Similarly, Chetis Gelbon, a central Indian, praised Gandhi's values for the film Black, which was of educational significance and promoted positive messages, and also gave the film a "tax-free" status.

This film reflects not only pranks and jokes, but also many social phenomena, which are actually similar to some situations in our country:

1. Empty nesters. The home for the elderly is a place where Jenna takes in homeless elderly people and their children are unwilling to support them. I feel very shocked by the emotion of one of the elderly people. I used to raise four children in one room, but now the four children have four rooms, but there is no room for me. . Naturally, the phenomenon of empty nesters is equally common in cities and rural areas in China.

2. Migrant workers. Muller and Dianquan are migrant workers who went to Mumbai to find their dreams. On their way home frustrated, Muller also asked Dianquan, will you still farm now? The electric circle says I won't, but we can tell them about Gandhi.

3. Feudal superstition. The marriage of a rich family depends on birthdates.

The daughter of a big fool was almost rejected because she was regarded as a husband by a fortune teller. Even if she wanted to be rich, her appearance alone was not enough. Of course, Muller and the electric circle teased and beat up the fortune teller, which can also be regarded as the director's beating on this feudal tradition.

4. Affection. In fact, this is similar to the previous one, and nothing is more important than family. In the movie, the young people went to stock market without telling their father, and lost 7, rupees for buying a house to commit suicide on the track. Later, when they called to say goodbye to the radio station, they were discouraged, got their father's understanding and found their own way to survive.

5. Demolition. In order to keep the geomantic treasure-house of the old man's home as his own and dedicate it to his future husband's family, Daisha took a group of people to rob the house and used violent demolition. . . 2 words are omitted here

6. Corruption. In order to solve a retired teacher's long-term arrears of pension, Muna told the old man that he would dedicate all his things to the corrupt civil servant in the open office, and reported the value of his clothes and glasses one by one, telling the corrupt official the value of the things I gave you in order to bribe you. This move was immediate and made the corrupt official have to return the pension to the old teacher.

7. The weakening of mainstream moral standards and values. This film focuses on the propaganda of Gandhi's doctrine, and advocates calm consultation in an impetuous society. Although I don't know how high the position of the founding father is in Indian society, it can be clear that it has dominated the mainstream values in India for a long time. But now it seems that such a pillar can't be found, and it is replaced by the pursuit of fame and fortune and ubiquitous social violence. With the help of the transformation of a gangster, the film is actually calling for the return of a traditional value concept. It is true that the rapid development of society will inevitably lead to many bad phenomena and contradictions. After these phenomena appear, Indians also hope to wake up the people by finding Gandhi, although Gandhi's library is still empty.
