"Midnight Children".

Respected sir

Image result for "Midnight Children".



This blog is a part of my classroom activity of postcolonial studies Film screening : "Midnight Children".

"Midnight children" this  movie based on the famous novel writer and Booker prize winner Salman Rushdie .  It was published in 1981 after independence. He uses abrogation language in his novel.  This movie is directed by Deepa mehta and screen by Salman Rushdie.this film based on India  before independent and after independent colonial and postcolonial aspect.Its about the political power and superiority.The movie deals with such a historical event like partition of India, Birth of Bangladesh, and Emergency of 1975 by Indira Gandhi . This movie start with Indian city also end with same. Saleem life run out that the political ,social ,linguistic and cultural strife faced the newly independent India.And there is meta narration of Muslim its challenge by marginalization.

At the begging of the movie show the scene of Kashmir it was shows the political thing.

When Siva and Saleem both are born at that time one Christine nurse Marry was swapped both and change the fate for their purpose. So poor become rich and rich become poor. Here Marry symbolizes for superiority of Christianity over other religions.  Little magic is also reflected with Paravti's  - Abracadabra we see in this film that character of Parvati present magic realism.Through her magic and through her magic skill she changes the situation and save saleem life.
Thank you...
