Chapter 25 A sympathetic encounter——After watching the Indian film "The Vagabond"

Raj Kapoor, producer, director and lead actor of The Wanderers said: "For centuries, the social system of India has suffered from the caste system, and generations of people in the past have been declared unfit for higher occupations just because they were born into families of lower castes. Moreover, under British rule During the period, the British rulers even declared these tribes as 'criminal tribes', and believed that boys and girls born in these tribes were of course potential criminals." Kapoor shot the film based on the work of writer Ke Abbas "The Wanderer", refuting this wrong opinion, said: "What the film brings is the voice of the universal truth of the great society-'It is not blood, but environment that determines a person's character and habits'."

After watching "The Wanderer", I deeply admit that this film can firmly grasp people's thoughts, and in terms of technology, it can also be regarded as the most complex and perfect work in Indian cinema. The fate of a boy who was abandoned by a so-called "upper society" family won infinite excitement and sympathy from the audience. In addition to his stubborn, cruel and hypocritical judge father Ragonnath, and his father's fallacy that "the son of a thief must be a thief", In addition to Zaka, who was convicted of a criminal and forced into a robber, and his pure, passionate, and righteous girlfriend Lida, there is his kind, cowardly, and sympathetic mother, Lilie.

She is the most sympathetic victim in this film, even though she is not the main character. From the development of the storyline, we can see how this good wife and loving mother in the old society under the oppression of ethics was oppressed, tortured, and even killed; but she did not hate her stubbornness until her deathbed. , Cruel husband, she also hopes to get his forgiveness.When her husband came to her bed, apologized to her, and asked her to forgive, she died in "peace of mind" overjoyed!Look, this man-eating etiquette controls a woman who should have an independent personality and a spirit of rebellion into such a tame and cowardly "good wife"!When we see this, can we not arouse the anger in our hearts?Can she disagree with her son Raz who said angrily: "It is he who tortured my mother all her life and caused us mother and son to suffer so much. I don't need him to forgive me. He should come to ask us to forgive him." and "I must give You take revenge!"

these words? Lillie, the good wife, had always loved her husband, depended on her husband, and was terribly afraid of her husband.After she was released from the robbers, she didn't dare to tell her husband everything, but said vaguely and almost flatteringly: "With your love protecting me, no one dares to harm me!" Her husband’s absurd statement that “the son of a good man is a good man, but the son of a thief must be a thief” did not dare to discuss it with her husband boldly when she had doubts.All this is the starting point of her tragic fate. When her husband listened to people's gossip, in order to protect his own reputation and status, he was extremely selfish and had the heart to throw her into the street in the pain of labor and on a stormy night, she was only weak. begging and crying.

Afterwards, in the extremely poor and humiliating environment, she still worked hard to dress her "dependant" child Lazi like a "little girl", asking him to study and "grow up to be a good boy" like his father. Judge," she agreed with her husband in her mind. But Lilie is by no means a rigid woman, she has an extremely strong sense of justice.When she was captured by the robbers, she scolded them without fear: "You have no shame!" When Zhaka was chased by the police and hid in her house, she shouted full of anger: "Give me back immediately!" Get out, I can't hide people like you in my family!" "You have ruined my reputation and my son, you get out, you get out immediately!" At this time, how brave she was!

As a kind mother, she has won the respect and love of her son. Because of her illness, the lonely little Raz was forced to take the road of stealing, but for more than ten years, he has always dared not Tell his mother where this "offering" comes from.When Raz dreamed that the violent Zhaka threatened him with a knife to continue killing and arson, he struggled to wake up, shouted and ran to his mother's room, hugged his mother and sobbed and said, "Mom, I will never steal again." Let people say that your son is a good man when they see you!" "Mom, do you believe it? Mom, I'm sorry for you, how sad I am in front of you!

I must learn well!I go to work! Later, when even the way to work was blocked, and Raz felt extremely depressed, "What can I do by myself", his passionate and loyal girlfriend Lida said to him: "You are not alone, Raz, With your mother and me to help you. " Although Lilie died "peacefully" after meeting her husband, the audience's feelings were not calm. The playwright said through Raz in prison, weeping bitterly: "I cry, I cry for these things my father did, and I cry for my mother because of how much suffering he has suffered in his life!" The sufferings she has endured all her life are the heavy shackles that society put on her body and heart!
