Classic starting line India
First, people with status have names.
When the protagonist Raj's family moved to the slum, many people came here unwilling to help because they offended the whole block. Later, the kind prakash not only helped, but also angered the neighbors in the block.
When Raj's family went to thank him and asked his name, prakash said: It's not the rich who want any name. If you work in a hotel, people will call you a bartender; If you are a coolie, you will be called a big guy; If you are fat, you will be called fat; Tall is called tall, and so on.
In this society, the poor don't need names. Only the rich have names. In other words, the poor are not respected in India.
This shows that the Raj family who plays the poor in the slums is so out of place here!
2. Politicians steal poor people's food, builders steal poor people's land, and rich people steal poor people's children's right to go to school.
When prakash learned that Raj impersonated the poor, sent his daughter to a private school, and his son lost his quota, prakash spoke this sentence bitterly.
This is the most heartfelt sentence in the whole play. The poor are trying to live a better life and want their children to get rid of the same fate. However, this society is full of malice towards the poor.
* * * The person in charge of rationing deducts the ration given to the poor; Builders rob the poor of their land, so that they can only live in slums where rats and diseases are rampant; In order for their children to attend private schools, rich people will not hesitate to illegally forge documents to replace the places of poor children.
The whole society is bullying the poor, and the poor are trying to live a better life, but in the end it is of no help.
Classic lines on the starting line
Third, it's a matter of luck, so are we unlucky?
When prakash's son didn't get a place in the lottery and finally had to go to a public school, the naive child asked this sentence.
In their view, they are just unlucky, not the injustice of this society. Father prakash didn't want to instill the unfair reality of this society into his children, but made them feel that they were not bad, but just unlucky.
People watching this scene are very sad and can't help crying. The same is true when you come into this world. Why are some people so simple to succeed, and some people so bitter to live?
I didn't even know you were talking about my daughter.
In order to get her daughter Pia a place in a private school, Mrs. Rajiv had to fill in the description of her daughter on the application form. The couple can't write sweet words, and the true words are hard to say, so they find a writer to write.
When the writer showed Raj what he wrote, the irony of what Raj said was obvious. In the face of falsehood and exaggeration, people like this false thing and look at this gorgeous and unrealistic thing.
Classic dialogue at the starting line
If you can't get into a good school, you won't have a good job, your daughter's friends will surpass her, she will be lonely, she will feel like a loser, she will give up, and she may start taking drugs. ...
This is the most common sentence of the hostess Tammy, which runs through almost the whole movie. Tammy will think so when faced with the fact that her daughter can't go to a private school. Why are there such settings? This may have something to do with people around Tammy and Raj.
From the beginning, Tammy is a person who knows fashion very well. She likes reading fashion magazines and wearing fashionable clothes (they can tell when they are young at the beginning of the film), but both she and Raj are from public schools and have never been respected or looked up to.
Maybe some students around me grew up in this environment, and finally they fought, stole and even made up many illegal stories, and finally they even took drugs.
Therefore, Tammy wants her daughter to get rid of this fate and get rid of the starting line, so she wants to find a good school for her daughter.
6. The school doesn't want Pia, perhaps not because of the children, but because the school doesn't want to recruit the children of the clothing store owner.
In the film, the Raj family is actually a very rich family. Raj has his own clothing studio and is a local business tycoon. He also has his own interpersonal relationships and knows people who can help him get his papers. If you want to buy a house in a rich area, you can buy it at will. If you want to change to a famous brand, you can also make yourself look like a luxury display rack. It is also very simple to want one or two luxury cars.
However, even if they are rich, they are not accepted by the rich. They held a party and Raj danced to the music. Raj is a clown in the eyes of those rich people. All the children don't play with Pia because they think she is the child of the clothing store owner and can't speak English.
The Raj family seems to be integrated into the upper class, but the upper class people don't want them to be integrated.
Dialogue at the starting line
Let's applaud the children in these public schools.
At the end of the film, at the parents' meeting of private schools, Raj took the children of public schools to perform on stage, and the children showed their strength with their own efforts and talents. When Raj came to the stage and said, Let's applaud the elite children in these private schools, the parents applauded very well.
When Raj said that he would applaud the children of the public, everyone was silent for a while. This is the society's view of the rich and the poor and class.
Although the ending of the film was not so good, even after Raj finished that paragraph, the parents present did not dare to applaud, thinking that what he said was very reasonable, and no one wanted to stand up and respond to him.
But Raj did the right thing. He finally understood that it was really good for her to receive the right education, whether in public or private schools.
Who says poor children can't learn well?
Therefore, born as a human being, no one wants to lose at the starting line, but as a parent, you are the starting line for your child.
