★Synopsis
In
addition to telling the story of family and dreams, “Secret Superstar” also criticizes
many gender inequalities not only in India. The whole movie has a relaxed and
lovely rhythm, taking the audience from listening to the moving voice of the
heroine to fighting against the father who plays the villain. Among them are
laughter, anger, and tears. After "Dangal", you can't miss this
inspiring Indian movie this year.
The
plot tells an Indian 14-year-old girl Insia, who loves music and dreams of
delivering the songs to everyone in the world. She accidentally discovered that
she can put the songs on Youtube. It was so popular that even Shakti Kumar, a
well-known Indian musician, approached her for cooperation, but in the face of
this great opportunity, his father's vigorous opposition became the biggest
dilemma.
The
story of "Secret Superstar" is actually very simple, or it seems a
bit old-fashioned, but the movie contains a lot of aspects, and the character's
emotions are also very rich. The most important is the process in which a girl
breaks away from the shackles of traditional ideas and chases her dreams.
And
with singing as the theme this time, it is even more powerful for Indian movies
which are famous for musicals. Audiences no longer need to worry about the
actor singing will disrupt the rhythm of the movie because Insia ’s super
penetrating singing is the part of the plot itself.
And the song "Who Am
I" sings that "I am the moon or the shadow of the moonlight? Am I
ashes or burning fire? Am I a water droplet or an infinite wave? I will bring
peace or did it cause a violent storm?” She said that she tried to show herself
to the public, but she had no choice but to be blocked by her father in
reality. Just as the movie name was taken as" Secret Superstar ",
could the dream hidden by me be realized? This is the question that Insia
constantly asks herself and just as the audience.
Interestingly,
Insia ’s road to star is all based on online social networking sites. In the
movie Insia is full of expectations to upload videos and keep pressing F5
reorganized and watched the number of viewers maintained, I believe it must
deeply poke the hearts of many online creators. However, as an inspirational
movie, the follow-up still gives us a hope that if we have the ability, we will
eventually succeed.

But
breaking through traditional patriarchy is not only Insia, but also her mother.
She saw Insia ’s musical talent, so despite her husband ’s strong opposition,
she still asked Insia to ask about the singing competition when her father was
in a good mood.
Even if Insia was forced to give up the match, she still completed
her daughter's wish with selling her most treasured necklace. From the
beginning of the movie to the middle and late stages, the mother has always
played a contradictory character, on the one hand, was ruined by patriarchy, on
the other hand, she worked hard to give her daughter the best life.
But
in Insia ’s eyes, although her mother took care of her a lot, she was just a
coward who didn’t have the courage to resist her husband. On the contrary, her
aunt ’s words became the biggest turning point in the movie. Month was only for
the birth of Inhsia, and she turned out to be the "product" of her
mother's courage.
The reason why the mother succumbed to the patriarchal system
was only for Insia ’s food and clothing, and she was alone at home to guard the
last line of defense to her husband ’s oppression and daughter ’s dreams. Therefore,
the last airport scene showed out her pressure for many years.
During 15 years,
she renewed her courage for Insia, but this time around, unlike the last time
she was alone, she had children who went with her wholeheartedly. So I think
the name of the movie is " "Secret Superstar", in addition to
the channel name of the protagonist, is also taken from this courageous, Secret
Superstar who was supporting Insia.
The
father playing a villain is really successful. Although he is a modernized
high-knowledge engineer, he still can’t change the extreme patriarchal thought
that is deeply rooted in the hearts of many Indian men. When shopping for
snacks, taking a family to watch a movie, or attending a friend's wedding, he
always put the women in the last place and even ignored them.
★Conclusion
On
the whole, "Secret Superstar" is a simple but real musical
inspirational movie. Although it is not as deep as the previous works of Aamir,
the theme of pursuing dreams is experienced by a family mother and daughter.
The unequal treatment leads to how to break through the traditional thinking
after hard work.
This way of returning to true narrative still has a strong
tension. Coupled with the moving song that fits the character's mood, I
probably guessed the ending in advance, so I finally cried for 20 minutes
because of this reason.
