Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is the story of the Hindu God Shiva, also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with Sati. Sati who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, a staunch Vishnu devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the yajna of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces Virabhadra, who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into Shakti Peethas, embodiments of the power of the Goddess Adi Shakti.
Sati is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, Ganga. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage Dadhichi, who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
Shiva and Parvati give birth to Kartikeya, who slays the demon Tarakasura and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by Meenakshi and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of Tripura, belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.
After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord Indra (the King of Devas) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi Durvasa gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as prasadam. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, Airavata to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King Bali attacks heaven and in attempt to steal Amrita (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the Ocean of milk. To get the Amrit back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the Amrita and to share it among them.
The churning of the ocean, known as Samudra Manthan is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord Vishnu also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, Kurma.
The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as Halahala. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the Amrita secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.
The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of Senapati(head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
Looking at the ill happening of the world, of how Ahalya is seduced by Indra, Mahadev come indside. Even after Mahadev tells that he is his father and many other gods tried to tell him, he still refuses. Mahadev got angry and cut Vinayak's head.
另外让我很不舒服的一点,这也许也是美国六十年代嬉皮士运动他们的局限性,追求反叛和自由的他们究竟是为了全人类的和平和爱,还是仅仅为了反叛父权,反叛父权代表的政府。究竟是为了越战牺牲的所有无辜的平民(无论是参战的士兵还是当地的百姓)还是为了自己和身边的人免受战争的征召,这种没有被逼到绝境的革命也许从开始就充满了软弱性。难以信服了。
“民主”“审判”“自由”“反战”
当然,政治官司暗藏了许多猫腻,不仅仅是美国的陪审团制度就能左右,1960年代的反越游行,夹杂了美国底层阶级各色各样的人物表演。
金句台词、爽感、高频剪辑,索金的风格,在野心十足、自我挑战的《茉莉牌局》滑铁卢后,索金收敛了一些,这部就整得很好。结构特别工整,tom和abby两个角色完全是卡着点儿地在对立、撕逼、弥合、揭露、再弥合。。群像人物都各有各的锋芒,配上本身就令人热血沸腾的民权运动主题、nb配乐,整个人都热泪盈眶了。。。。不过法官的形象,似乎还是太脸谱化了一些,不知道历史中是否真的如此。。。画面整体似乎特地调成照度不足的样子,是在暗示ZZ的黑暗吗hhhhh
除了商业元素以外,还能获得的回味就是,体制是理想的,但是由人来执行,这种情况怕是除了风水轮流转也真的没什么更好的办法了。再分享一篇挺喜欢的影评《只有换总统才是最有效的“抗议”》http://www.chinawriter.com.cn/n1/2020/1106/c419388-31921096.html
- 与我的政府对我的蔑视相比, 我的蔑视不值一提。
但尼克松连任说明了美国当时的真实情况
最佳剧本、剪辑、男配这几个奖应该往死里拿吧
看到一半就觉得太ridiculous了,但我觉得文明的进步需要有承认滑稽滑稽的勇气。权力造化弄人,社会三六九等。这些看清了这个世界有多可笑,还愿意用热血肉身去顶撞体制的,值得苦陷死水里的芸芸众生轻呼一声:你们才是可爱的人。
美国政府不等于美国,这是所谓民主国家最大的悲哀。
今天下午大家一起看完之后,第一个反应就是“爽片”,怎么爽怎么拍,或者说,剪。真的是一场大型政治MV,就像片中所说的political trial一样。政治是所有事情的阻力,又如春药一般让一个时代蓬勃。我们讨论说,如果生活在那个时代,一定是很惨的,但站在当下的立场,我们愿意回看过去:因为现在从某种程度上讲,更惨。
不要忘了我们为什么这么做的意义。不把它当作真实,就拿来比喻。人生有太多被别的事情东拉西扯,别忘了意义。
在细节上丰盈充沛,在主题上却直接干脆。弗兰克·兰格拉饰演的那个情绪化又不称职的大法官,甚至颇有些暗讽特朗普的意思。
艾伦索金带着强烈个人风格的左派作品,密集犀利的台词是子弹,锋利痛快的剪辑是刀刃,说的是60年代的芝加哥七君子审判,瞄准的却是当今美国。左派与否,这个时代需要民主,民主需要发声。
密集对白推动叙事完成结构的典范,法庭戏和闪回片段直接进行交叉剪辑,运动群戏无缝潜入真实记录素材,一场QZ运动中的各方力量犬牙交错,仅在左派阵营就依照不同光谱呈现出从激进到温和派别的合作与对抗,呈现出历史事件的复杂,不能简单以好恶正反进行判断。非常美国的结论,拿人当人的前提和底线是拿法律当法律。
前几天刚听了美国出兵越南的那段历史,对这部影片的理解能更深一点。叙事方式和节奏特别好,棕黄与深黑的色调契合那个年代,也符合影片所表达的主题。萨莎拜伦科恩太牛哔了!一个高逼格拧巴喜剧片演员,也能吼住这种严肃题材和复杂角色,且毫不费力,还入木三分,瑞思拜!如果说开场看到他我还下意识笑出来的话,到了影片中段我已经完全被“艾比”这个人物抓住了。混不吝、吊儿郎当的外表下,其实是一个有着甚至可以说过于理想化的政治追求,并富有深厚政治积淀的灵魂,只是他的性格不屑与这世俗秩序为伍,否则他可能是个政治家,虽然很大程度上可能是悲剧性的。影视作品也负有反思历史的责任。
1.这storytelling,太厉害了。2.有些司法可以playing dirty,有些司法没有player。3.whole world watching
Abbie Hoffman
对美国的很多制度都不是很了解,通过这部电影又可以知晓一二,小雀斑看着不言不语的,最后开始念名字终于高光。另一位主演对汤姆·海登的评价没有错,是真正的爱国者。
一场伟大的战斗,在抗议活动一线,更在法庭上,任何对文明社会有追求的公民都应该一看。
