Dangal: love and achievement from Wrestling 摔跤吧,爸爸:爱与成就

November 14, 2021 Yang Siyu 

We have held a wonderful sport meeting several days ago. Do you know that there is a sports program called wrestling in the international sports competition? However, in India, women wrestling has progressed in a winding way and overcame a large quantity of obstacles that seemed insuperable.

前几天,我们举行了一场盛大的校运会。但是你知道在国际运动会上,有一个运动项目名为摔跤吗?然而,女子摔跤在印度的发展可谓是蜿蜒曲折,克服了许多看起来不可逾越的障碍。


Parents and kids all need to know that Dangal due to its educational meaning. In this movietwo girls from a small Indian village were trained with the goal of winning gold medals in international women wrestling under their strict father’s insistence and persistence. This stirring movie follows the girls as they reluctantly yielded to their father’s iron will and endured 5 a.m. tough workouts and humiliating haircuts. Although bearing mock from peers, they had no choice but then began to appreciate his father’s demanding standards and training method. From their growing-up, they gradually felt thier father’s respect for women and also the strong and unwavering desire for honoring India, their motherland. This is set in stark contrast to the fates of the majority of Indian women relegated to: wife in teens, then teen-mother, finally household nanny, cooking every day.

孩子们和父母们都应该知晓《摔跤吧,爸爸》这个极具教育意义的电影。在电影中,两个来自印度小村庄的女孩为了在国际女子摔跤中拔得头筹而接受他们父亲严苛的,日日不间断的训练。女孩们不情愿地勉强屈服于父亲的钢铁般的意志,不得不忍受凌晨五点就爬起来进行高负荷训练,顶着被人嘲笑的发型。即使被同龄人嘲笑,她们也没有选择,但之后开始感激父亲的高要求和训练方法。在她们长大的过程中,她们也渐渐感受到父亲对女性的尊重和对荣耀祖国的不可动摇的信念追求。这与印度大多数女性面临的命运形成了鲜明对比:年纪轻轻成为妻子,而后成为未成年母亲,最后是家里整日围着锅台转的保姆劳佣。


This film has tears, patriotic heart-swell, happiness, frustration, anger, pain and everything you expect from a sports film. But it is wrapped in gentle humor and that makes this film a must see. It is a great way to end the year and get counted as one of the ten best films of 2016.

这个电影有泪水,有爱国的拳拳之心,有欢笑,有沮丧忧愁,有愤怒,有受伤之处,它有一切你想在运动电影里期望看到的东西,但是又被包裹在一种轻松的淡淡的幽默之中,这部电影便必看不可。它是2016年度最好的电影之一,也可以说是很好的2016年度的收官之作。



This highly anticipated film is based on the real-life story of Haryanavi wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, a coach and father. However, what had a huge impact on me was that he trained his own daughters in a sport which was traditionally male dominated and in a state which was renowned for gender inequality and a low sex ratio. This obviously became a talking point circulating among the small village and he was severely criticized, but Mahavir did not budge whatsoever happened. All that hard work went to fruition and definitely paid off when the eldest daughter of their siblings got the first medal.

这部极高声誉的电影基于哈里亚纳维摔跤手马哈维尔·辛格·福加特的真实故事改编,他是一位教练,也是一位父亲。然而,给我留下的最深刻的印象是这一幕:电影中他所训练女儿的摔跤项目是一个传统上来说男子主导的运动,而他们又处在一个以男女不平等和男女比例失调而闻名的国家。这显然成为了村里人的话柄,备受周围人诟病。但马哈维尔毫不动摇。好在女儿获得金牌的那一刻,所有的艰辛都得到了回报。



Amid an air of enjoyment due to our sports meeting, I highly recommend this movie to all of you!

在运动会的活跃快乐的气氛中,我强烈推荐大家来观赏这部电影!
