Mother's Day is four days away.
There was a movie that made me wait a long time.
Two days later, it was released at the same time as nine films.
But at this point in time, I want to talk about it first.
A Mother's Revenge
Mom
Revenge refers to revenge on an enemy.
There is no distinction between good and evil in the meaning of the word revenge.
Even a heinous sinner will still take revenge on those who have hurt him.
And in A Mother's Revenge.
Originally a dedicated, delicate and gentle biology teacher Dai Wei.
When a wicked person who escapes justice because of a rape case that happened to his daughter, Ten O'Clock Jun prefers to call it punishment rather than revenge.
This film is adapted from the "Delhi Black Bus Case" that shocked the world in India in 2012.
In that case, a 23-year-old girl was brutally gang-raped on a bus that was driving in the dark of Night Delhi.
After the incident, the city also had an extra notoriety - the rape capital.
Because of this case, the documentary "Woman in India" and the drama "Delhi Crime" were born.
This kind of realistic theme film, self-concerned about the equal rights of men and women "Wrestling! "Daddy" after the box office double storm.
More and more are being introduced domestically. (Like "Mysterious Superstar", "Little Lori's Monkey God Uncle", "Starting Line")
Before "Wrestling Daddy", India actually never lacked such films. (Suicide Live, Kabul Express)
But has reality really changed because of the movie?
In fact, the ignorant are still ignorant, and the broken system is still broken.
The real suspect is interviewed by the BBC's Daughter of India.
And this film directly reversed the edge.
Since the realistic subject matter is useless, it simply fictionalizes a well-planned murder.
Without anyone's permission or approval, it stabs straight into the throat of the criminal.
"Initial Case"
Aria, who had just turned 18, was a high school student.
And her mother, her stepmother to be exact, was the biology teacher in her class.
During class, an unlearned is texting Aaliyah.
He was snickering and disgusting.
Devi, also known as the biology teacher, discovers the indecent behavior of the towards his daughter.
Angrily, he threw his phone out the window.
Aria felt ashamed and embarrassed, and the was also deeply resentful.
Aria's father was a successful businessman, which gave her a good family environment.
She is full of the willfulness and pride of an adolescent girl.
Disdain for the stepmother, only to the father will show a cute side.
Aria is ready to go to a lively party.
In order to make her favorite boy notice her, she dressed up elaborately.
It has also become the most dazzling presence in the whole scene.
Aria is beautiful, and the is snooping.
He invited Aria to dance, but was poured cold water.
The angry man unites his cousin and friends to prepare for revenge.
12:30 p.m.
The party was full of people, and the party was dark and gloomy.
Aria was alone.
3 men were ambushed.
There are four to be exact, and the security guards who should have obeyed their duties to ensure safety also joined in.
Of the 4 adult males, Alia was powerless to resist.
She was dragged to the car and beaten and humiliated.
In the end, a breath was discarded on the side of the road.
When Aria woke up, she thought her confession would bring the 4 prisoners to justice.
But the court cited alcohol in Aaliyah's blood.
Her testimony was overturned in its entirety.
In the end, due to insufficient evidence, 4 people were released in court.
The court adheres to the principle that "it is better to spare a thousand than to kill one".
Even if the clear-eyed people know, Aaliyah can clearly point out who the 4 people who committed the crime are enough to show that she is conscious.
But the court is evidence-first, and no one can judge the case with a sentence of "I believe in her" or "obviously.".
The perpetrator is able to escape from this loophole, but the victim is not given any comfort or justice.
This film with a sense of revenge raises the first question:
Whether the yardstick of judicial justice should be absolutely rational.
"Mother"
When Aria was taken to the hospital for a "gang rape case".
Frightened and hopeless, the mother moved step by step to the hospital bed.
The tears could not stop flowing, and although I covered my mouth for fear of crying, I still couldn't stop the overflow of sad emotions.
He firmly believes that the court can return his daughter a fair Dai Wei.
Instead of waiting for the prisoners' punishment notice, they watched them leave with joy.
She chose to stop trusting the court and the police.
The daughter, who was in great pain, blamed her for all her sins.
Push it to the teacher who threw the phone out of the window.
This is not unrelated to India's social legacy problems.
In India, women are more inclined to blame themselves or other women.
It was also when Dewi finally decided to take revenge on the prisoners.
It was already indistinguishable, either because of the guilt of himself or the anger at the unfair treatment of his daughter.
Under India's legal system, women have always been in a more vulnerable position.
If there is oppression where there is resistance, then Indian women will eventually seek their due rights in some form.
The second question arises here: whether secular justice that interferes in the law should be punished as harshly as the perpetrators.
"Justice and Secular Justice"
It was helpless to let a chalk teacher finally raise his fist.
Dewi's path to revenge has not been smooth.
She also experienced a desperate struggle in the darkness.
Without the help of another person, on her own, she would probably only be able to break the net.
A mysterious private investigator helps her without pay or personal safety.
Because he believes that God will bless himself, and believes that his mother is synonymous with absolute justice.
In this evil city in the eyes of outsiders, there are also people with a sense of justice.
Moreover, their number may never be in the minority.
With the help of a private detective, dai weiwei achieved her own secular justice.
The policeman, who should have been the embodiment of justice, became the biggest obstacle to her completion of punishment.
This is ironic, and as to whether the balance of justice should tip to the mother or the rule of law, the film forcefully gives its tendency.
I still remember the time at the end of the film when the police advised her to put down the gun aimed at the sinner and asked her to believe in the justice of justice.
Her desperate monologue:
Useless... It will happen again... There is nothing you can do about it and there is bound to be the same thing that you can't do at all
The look and feel of this passage is like a storm.
The final reversal also gives the film considerable emotional tension.
The tear-inducing effect goes without saying.
Anyway, crying is over.
There are many films that fight violence with violence, but there are not many movies like "A Mother's Revenge".
Her accusations and rebellions carry a serious worldwide issue – Indian women.
Or let's leave the subject aside.
The film also gives a mother the chance to hand-blade sinners.
Let her blacken from her original gentle and fragile appearance to the goddess of vengeance.
In the face of four thugs, she took the battalion step by step, punishing them with a series of carefully planned murders.
That dark and fierce strength is enough to give people the pleasure of revenge.
This reminds me of the phrase on the poster: "Where justice can't go, there's still the mother."
Only the mother can burst out with such amazing power.
The film's delicate portrayal of the mother is inseparable from the acting skills of the lead actor Ciri Daiyu.
Who is she to ask?
She was known as "the last queen of Bollywood".

Maybe it won't get much attention at any point in time.
But on the eve of Mother's Day, this profoundly inspired film that shows the coexistence of motherhood and vulnerability deserves a name.
Going to see this special movie with mom at this festival may be a good choice.
