I've always heard about Wrestlemania! "Daddy" is a very good film, and I finally watched it twice on the weekend.
WrestleMania! Daddy
WrestleMania! Daddy is a biopic directed by Nitsh Tevari and starring Amir Khan, Sakashi Tewa, Sanya Mahota, Fatima Sana Saka. The film is based on the true story of Indian wrestler Mahavira Singh Perga. The film was released in India on 23 December 2016 and grossed Rs 345 crore in India. The film was released on May 5, 2017 in Chinese mainland, and ended with a combined box office of 1.295 billion.
The film is mainly about a father named Mahavira Singh Perga (Amir Khan), who was once the indian national wrestling champion and was forced to give up his beloved wrestling sport in order to make a living. But even after retiring, he still has a great dream in his heart - to win a world gold medal for India. He pinned this great dream on his future son, but his wife bore him four daughters. When everything was set, Mahavira was depressed and felt that his dream had been shattered.
But inadvertently, he discovered that his daughters had a great talent for wrestling, and he suddenly woke up and his dream was ignited again. Girls can still stand on the world stage and win honors for their country and themselves. He and his wife agreed for a year that she would not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of their two daughters, and everything would be arranged by him. In the end, under his strict and professional training and careful guidance, the daughters progressed rapidly, step by step, and finally the eldest daughter Geeta finally fulfilled his lifelong dream, winning the world gold medal for India, and also winning dignity for thousands of Indian girls, becoming a role model force for Indian women.
WrestleMania! "Daddy" is indeed a superb film, and I watched it very deeply and obsessively. I heard that many people later watched this film and sighed: I owe "Wrestling! Daddy" a movie ticket! This shows how deeply this film is rooted in people's hearts!
There are a lot of great and professional reviews about this film, and they have made very professional reviews and analysis from all aspects. And as one of the most ordinary viewers, I would also like to say a few small things about my feelings after watching this film! WrestleMania! Daddy," I saw three kinds of luck in this film.
The first kind of luck: daughters have such fathers, they are lucky.
In India, the harshest words are: "May you have a daughter." Under the ancient laws and teachings of India, girls are born as a liability and have almost no status. Indian women are no different from slaves in their families, are not allowed to show their faces outside, have little opportunity to get an education, and have difficulty in making an independent living.
The film ultimately changes her fate through the wrestling of her daughters, which fully demonstrates how fortunate it is to have such a father in this special country of India. Fathers teach their daughters how to fight for women's rights and status in their own way.
The traditional Indian concept of contempt for women is deeply rooted and will never die overnight, especially for a place like India with a large population base and a clear gap between rich and poor, which is represented by the Indian countryside, that is, "Wrestling!" "Daddy" happened in the place.
WrestleMania! Amir Khan, the star of "Daddy", has always paid attention to the phenomenon of women's equal rights in the "Truth Interview" program he hosts, and he dares to stand up against those outdated and backward doctrines.
WrestleMania! The father in "Daddy" is against this custom, so there will be such a dialogue in the film, the mother says: Daughters practice wrestling, who will marry our daughters? The father replied: Our daughters are very good, they are not qualified to choose us, but we choose them.
Dads are angry when they see their daughters at someone else's wedding, not only because they have delayed their training, but more importantly because they are once again in this backward tradition.
At this wedding, everyone sang and danced, and only the bride was alone, because what awaited her was an unknown fate. Her conversation with Geeta and Babita was proof of that. The bride said something like this:
I wish I had such a father, at least your father is for your sake. Otherwise, you will be like me, destined from birth to be in the company of pots and pans, with endless chores all day long. At the age of 14, I had to marry out to lighten the burden on my family, and finally I was sent to a man I had never met before to spend my life with his husband and son, which was my life. At least your father treats you as his own children, to fight the whole world for you, to endure ridicule and ridicule for you. Why? Just so that you can take charge of your own life, what is wrong with him?
It was this passage that completely awakened Geeta and Babita. They obediently went back to training hard, in order not to live up to their father's efforts, but also to win the initiative in their own lives.
Even when he saw his daughters sneaking to the wedding, the father did not beat his daughter. Therefore, the "cruel, ruthless, and cold-blooded" of their fathers in their eyes is actually the good intentions of their fathers, and everything is for their own good.
When the sister lost herself, the sister told the sister: Dad has more confidence in you than anyone else.
Dad always believed in his daughters, always inspired them, and gave them professional and rigorous training, so that they could have their later glory and glory. When the reporter interviewed Geeta, she told everyone: All the honors I have achieved are the credit of my father. Growing up, my dad never gave up on me.
Because of such a "strict but enlightened" "loving" father who dared to break free from the shackles of tradition, Geeta and Babita saved them from the sorrow of Indian girls and let them rewrite the fate of their lives through their own efforts.
As netizens said: Indian girls are undoubtedly happy and lucky to have such a father; perhaps only such a father can protect their freedom in this environment.
The second kind of luck: Dad has such daughters, and he is also lucky.
The Bible says, "When God closes this door, He will open another door for you." ”
Mahavira was forced to retire due to his life and failed to win the world gold medal, and he was very sorry for this. Later, he could only pin this dream on his future son.
But God did not give him a son as he wished, but gave him four daughters. It wasn't until one day, when he suddenly discovered his daughters' wrestling talent, that he suddenly woke up. He said: "All along, I wanted a son, I wanted him to win a gold medal for our country, but I actually forgot that anyone can get a gold medal, whether male or female. He told his wife that from today on, geeta and Babita would stop doing housework, they were born wrestlers, and from now on, all they had to do was wrestle. Since then, the daughters' wrestling career has been set off by a series of harsh trainings developed by their fathers. In this way, he pushed his daughters step by step to a higher place.
After winning the national championship, Geeta entered the national sports academy that he wanted to receive formal training and guidance from national coaches. But she forgot her original intention, only played some so-called skills, and ignored the real training, and self-righteously accused her father's skills and methods of being timely, and was proud and complacent about winning her father. But Babita knows Dad best, and she tells her sister Geeta: Today's things, you didn't do it right. Dad's technique was not outdated, but his body was not as good as before. Don't forget, you won the national championship with those outdated skills.
Later, during the competition, Geeta's performance plummeted. With the encouragement and support of her sister, Geeta and her father are finally reconciled. Geeta's personality is more straightforward and stubborn, Babita is more docile and considerate, and Dad is lucky to have two daughters like this. Although there are occasional times when you lose yourself, the most important thing is to know how to get lost.
Like when the reporter interviewed Geeta, she said that all the honors she had achieved were the credit of her father. It can be seen that Geeta knows how to be grateful and understands her father's heart.
When Geeta won the world gold medal, Dad was happier than anyone, not only because his daughter achieved his dream, but also because her daughter won honor and dignity for herself and thousands of Indian women, and he was proud and honored to have such a hard-working, hard-working and inspirational daughter. Especially at the end of the film, Dad cried with joy and finally said the words: You are my pride. Dad had such a daughter and he was lucky.
The third kind of luck: the country has such a people, it is lucky.
In the film, when Geeta won the national championship, the nephew said: Uncle's dream has finally come true, and we can relax and relax later.
Dad said: No, my dream has not yet come true. National championships are there every year, and my dream will only come true on the day you win a gold medal for your country, not for yourself.
No matter how difficult the conditions, Dad is bent on winning glory for the country, so that Indian wrestlers can stand on the world stage and win gold medals for India. Despite the opposition of the outside world, the strange eyes of the villagers, almost "cruel, cold-blooded, ruthless" insisted on training his daughters to practice wrestling day after day. Finally applause replaced the taunts and doubts, and Geeta and Babita, not only won the game, but also won the hearts and minds of the people, from the middle group to the senior group.
When Geeta was at the National Sports Academy, due to the improper training methods she received, she failed one after another, so her father traveled thousands of miles to rent a house near his daughter's school to personally guide her. Sure enough, under her father's guidance, Geeta quickly returned to her former style.
One of the scenes that I remember most in this film is that on the eve of the final, Geeta asks Dad, what is the strategy for tomorrow? Dad's answer is wonderful!
There's only one strategy for tomorrow, and that's to make people remember you forever. If you take a silver medal, sooner or later you will be forgotten by the world; if you take a gold medal, you will become a role model, and the example will never be forgotten. See them? If you win tomorrow, the victory belongs not only to yourself, but also to the thousands of girls like them, to all those girls who are considered inferior to boys and can only spend their lives at home. Tomorrow's game is the most important one because your opponent is not just that Australian, but all those who have been looking down on girls.
The whole social environment of India determines that the social status of Indian women throughout the ages has been very low. Only by learning more about the social environment behind the film can we better appreciate how remarkable the ideas presented in this film are. What seems to us to be a very ordinary thing, in their country is such a big and even very brave breakthrough, dare to say so, dare to do this, in itself is very remarkable.
Finally, Geeta won the gold medal, created a miracle and rewrote history, she was the first female wrestler in Indian history to win a gold medal. When the national anthem of the winner's country sounded, Dad's exciting, wake-up shot was very, very wonderful, and I was very touched to see it. At that moment, Dad's eyes were moist, he was deeply relieved, and then he ran out happily like a little boy, cheering for his daughter and cheering for the country!
At last:
"All the gifts of fate have already been marked in secret", correspondingly, all the sufferings given by fate have already been secretly given treasures, the key is whether you are willing to discover or not.
Each of us can't choose our own birth family, it is impossible to meet such an enlightened Bole father, but even so, we can also explore the advantages of ourselves, and continue to work hard for it, and constantly hone until the day of the sparkle.
Everyone's life is not smooth, just like Mahavira's lifelong wish is to win a world gold medal for India, when he finally gave birth to four daughters, he thought his dream was finally shattered, but he seized the last opportunity and decided to try. It was this last chance that he finally succeeded!
Each of us is like this, and sometimes life seems hopeless. In fact, maybe in the blink of an eye, we must maintain confidence, accumulate strength, and wait for luck to knock on the door!
-The End-
