Young men and women will take it for granted that they have heard that "love is selfish" and put it into their hearts without thinking, rarely thinking about the choice of values that are trade-offs from a deep level. Today, I recommend an Indian movie "Love Without Borders" to friends, and see that "since it is love, then love is the starting point of the value logic of trade-offs." ”
Background of the film: Internationally, since the separation of India and Pakistan in 1947, the India-Pakistan region has been one of the powder kegs. Although the two sides are close at hand, the political, cultural, and military sides are completely hostile to each other, and the fighting and war have not stopped for many years. In November 2003, Pakistan took the lead in a ceasefire, and India responded positively, while both sides expressed the hope that the ceasefire would last forever.
Filmed in 2004, Love Without Borders carries the aspirations of both sides for peace and friendship. For mortals such as me, peace and friendship between countries are only good wishes, and although the yearning for harmony and equality between the two nations is true and sincere, it is too grand. What touched me about this film was the dedication and perseverance of true love, the sacrifice of love, and the enlightenment of human nature that shone brightly.
The beautiful and kind official third-generation heroine Zola Hayat Khan traveled alone from Pakistan to India for the wish of the round nursing mother, and was rescued by the lovely Squadron Leader of the Indian Air Force Rescue Team, Viel Pratap Singerville. Wei Wei could not bear the heroine to run to India alone, so he accompanied her to wade through the mountains and rivers, sing and dance (there are many song and dance clips in Indian films) to complete the task, and sincerely invited her to spend the day to see his hometown. The village of Veer is hospitable, singing and dancing, and the love of the teenagers is completely unaffected by regions and religions, leaving a deep impression on Zola, which is simply utopia! But what touched her most was that Father Well followed her advice and built a girls' high school on top of the boys they had previously sent to school.
After a brief acquaintance, there is separation, two completely different worlds. Under pressure, Zola had to submit to the political union in order to save the family's political position, but she could not forget Veer, his promise that "there is a man at the border who is willing to give his life for you". On the eve of the wedding, Vere goes to Pakistan to find Zola despite losing his beloved job, which leads to Zola's father falling ill and bedridden due to humiliation.
Zola's mother, for the sake of her husband and the fate of the family, cries that Will let Zola go now, and will pray that Allah will give Zola's future life to Veer. The pressure on the left pull was too great. After calming down, Wei Wei chose to be patient and fulfill the girl he loved deeply. Veer has a touching conversation with Zola's mother:
Veer: "Mothers don't have to pray for their sons, they just give orders." Do you think I'm going to take Zola away without your consent? Our love is blind, and we only see each other in our eyes but we don't see whether it harms others. Human life is more important than love, you don't have to worry, I talk to her, she will definitely agree to the marriage contract. ”
Zuo Mu: "Are all the sons of your country like you?" ”
Veer replied, "I don't know about that, but every mother in our country is like you." "The background sound is also very appropriate. Zola and Veer agreed that they had love, but now they were going to do their duty with a smile.
Still, Zola's fiancé was so humiliated that the police arrested Will on espionage charges in a bus, threatening: Zola's later life depends on your denial and shut-up. Veer confessed, and Zola agreed to marry. If the movie ends here, it is a simple and desolate transnational love story, and if it ends here, it is not a love classic.
Twist: The bus in which Veer was riding before his arrest had an accident on the way, killing all of them, and Veer's parents in India thought their son had died; Zola also thought Veer was dead. At this point, The Weil of India is dead, and the criminals of Pakistan are 786 alive. It wasn't until 22 years later that Pakistan's feminist lawyer Samia heard the story and was determined to help Vail settle her grievances (there is a picture at the beginning of the film, flashbacks). The source of the female lawyer's account is not clear enough, and the film has only a score of 8.3 on Douban.
Will worked more in prison, helped more people, just kept silent. The woman's care and respect led him to finally speak and agree to appear in court, but on the condition that Zola and her family were not mentioned—22 years later, he still cared most about Zola's happiness, and he did not want to trample on her reputation and return home. After the first trial, the female lawyer rushed to her hometown in Hinville and unexpectedly met Zola with gray hair. It turns out that Zola, after learning of Veer's "death", eventually did not marry, and rushed to Veer's hometown with her maid to fulfill her responsibilities for the deceased loved - to fulfill The wish of Veer's father.
I, Prisoner 786, looked out from the prison fence
I watched as the sun, the moon, and the moon became eternal
From the land of this country wafts the fragrance of the land of my homeland
The scorching sun reminds me of the seasons that Marty made with cheese rain that brought about change
This winter made me feel the fire of enthusiasm at the "Lori" festival
They say it's not your country, so why do I think it is?
Some people say I don't look like him, but why does he look like me?
I, Prisoner 786, looked out from the prison fence
I saw angels descending from heaven
She said her name was Samia and she called me Vere
She was a complete stranger and treated me like a loved one
Listening to her sincere words, I wanted to live again
Listening to her promise, I wanted to do something more
They said she wasn't my friend, but why did she fight the whole world for me?
Some people say I don't look like her, so why does she look like me?
I saw my Zola surrounded by the colorful colors of the village
She fulfilled my dream but forgot her dream
She took care of my villagers, but forgot herself
Now I want her to be happy
I want to live another life for her
They said it was my country, not hers, so why would she stay at my house?
I inmate 786 looked out from the prison fence."
Zola's mother once said that women love people with their hearts and souls, and men do not have the power to love. In fact, she is not sure, otherwise the father will not let his daughter go to India after divorce.
The story of true love, steadfast and poignant, makes people cry. Good humanity, sparkling, enduring.
