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.
红色熊猫是13岁少女内心的反叛,是不想继续当逆来顺受的乖乖女,是摆脱讨好型人格的束缚,母亲一直在束缚住自己的欲望,而年轻一代只想认清自己、发掘自己、改变自己!
小熊猫太茸茸了!三星半,不论是不是东亚父母,是个人不会反省都不会有改变。能改变就改变,改不了就逃离吧。
我们终其一生都是要摆脱他人的期待 找到真正的自己
Turning red 不仅象征着人成长历程中在青春期必定要经历的变化,也象征着人在成长过程中所培养的自己的个性,个性过于张扬往往会惹来是非,能够让自己的个性成为自己的一技之长或为人之道那才是应该所追求的。如果为了达到所谓传统意义上的“平衡”或“安逸”,一味地否认个性而泯灭个性,只为使之同化,这才是一代人的悲哀。妈妈就是过于张扬的个性会带来危害,外婆和姨妈们就是被泯灭掉的个性,还好Mei和Sun Yee一样,没有选择同化自己,能够在这个多彩的世界里坚持做自己。
6.8 面向全年龄的文本让内容过于说教,但那些关于东亚人复杂的家庭关系和自我认同能看到不少的闪光之处,对千禧年前后的文化符号捕捉尤其精准。
4.中西文化碰撞,pop和宗法观念
东亚文化语境的故事讲述了最普世的情感共情,但有关青春与成长的内核只是中国版的《勇敢传说》和加长版的《包宝宝》。在当今的好莱坞,女性少数族裔的主创团队在出发点就领先了一个身位,何况小熊猫比熊要可爱的多了。
太好看啦。Turning red暗喻了青春期的初潮,是少男少女自我意识的觉醒,“一切都要开始变化”;变化之后的小熊猫既代表着与那个不那么美好的自我,也代表着挣脱规训的反叛。Meimei选择与小熊猫共处而不是像老一辈女性那样压抑那个生气、反叛的自己,也是自我探索、挣脱传统习俗礼教束缚的一大步。最后妈妈说“你走得越远我越骄傲”,泪目。
东亚女看Turning Red需要一个Trigger Warning,虽然狠狠共情但电影本身真的好俗套普通, 拜托这可是皮克斯。我不需要再看一部完成度较低的《勇敢传说》或者时长增加到100分钟的《包宝宝》。
迪士尼狗公司不做人,这么好的动画,居然不放院线走流媒体。希望能拿明年的奥斯卡最佳动画长片。看预告就知道是我喜欢的,没想到正片如此精彩!对中国式母女关系做了一场生动的展示,看完真的只想到处安利!
旧时的祝福却成为现时的诅咒,世界的守护却成为自我的惩罚。在竹林里牵起痛哭女孩的手,告诉她可以不用追求完美,取悦母亲,但她还是选择封印了红熊猫。你的野兽又脏又臭,怪异又与众不同。但它也可以让你飞檐走壁,带给别人快乐。你的自我本是上天的赐福,却被规训被压抑被教化,长成藏起尾巴的大人。
同《包宝宝》一样,创作者将华裔家庭亲子间的紧张关系既恐怖放大又温馨包裹。野兽可爱化,足以令幼儿学会去接受自我的不同之处,可也让没仔细看片头的人直到尾声才嗅到皮克斯味儿。
变成一只大熊猫空降到HOT演唱会的现场和朋友们蹦蹦跳跳应该也是十岁的我最想做的事吧!
我可以再相信皮克斯了,然而我的青春里好像从来没有这只小熊猫XD 也可看做是80、90一代东亚人在西方文化冲击后的认知变化吧(靡靡之音!正经人谁去演唱会!)暗搓搓插入的福瑞控,以及一个想象中的古老母系氏族。但影片不时会低幼感爆棚(日式亮晶晶萌萌眼、男团四人宛如未成年观众也都是小孩)而且细想只是告诉孩子要做自己而没有探讨父母辈的教育方法,莫非就没想做全年龄段受众
“一天早晨,李美凌从不安的睡梦中醒来,发现自己躺在床上变成了一只巨大的红色熊猫。”借远古传说对传统中式乃至东亚式家庭关系的探讨终究过于浅显,反倒是与幻想无关的那段关于月经的描述才更具现实的冲击力。
如果13岁的我能看到这部电影,也许会暴风哭泣吧?成长的不安和压抑、庞大到让人无处可逃的原生家庭、必须奉命扼杀的爱的萌芽、剥离母体的疼痛、在身体的变化面前手足无措、为了满足所有人不惜牺牲最闪亮的自己……那个渺小卑怯的我、那片一旦逃离就不愿回望的黑暗世界、那段被封印在身体里的蜕变之旅,将在日后时时点醒我:红色小熊猫没什么可怕的,关键是,你终于接纳了你自己。
毛绒绒的红熊猫,梅的毛衣,包子上的面粉,不愧是皮克斯
一个套用古代离奇传说设定的好莱坞式中国故事,强势母亲与叛逆女儿的矛盾与和解,儒家传统与现代文明的冲突与交融,以及加入一点女性自我意识的觉醒,但实际上无甚新意和惊喜。估计东亚人看后比较容易产生共鸣,多少人从小到大活在家长的期待中而不断压抑自己,然后用漫长的一生与只能做个庸碌凡人的自己和解,又在心理阴影的支配下以爱之名去过度干涉自己的下一代。
考虑到这是Pixar出品的就未免过于平庸了
还是那句话,看书要看古书,现代畅销书就是渣渣。看片屏蔽好莱坞,拒绝评分诱惑,吃菜要避免连锁店。总之,直觉还是更管用,拒绝一切宣传与评分,垃圾才需要宣传,精品都需要淘。
