Movie Review 'Midnights children'

Movie review as under,

        The movie ‘Midnight’s children’ directed by DeepaMaheta which is based on the novel Midnight’s children by Salman Rushdie. The selection of characters is good in this movie. We can apply the postcolonial theory in this movie. As we know that in the history of India we get freedom at midnight on 14th August, 1947. After getting freedom we can see crises between Hindu and Muslim and also between rich and poor. Because as we know before independence white people as superior, or difference between two nations. So after getting freedom this idea remain in the mind of Indian people. So we can see crises between rich and poor. And rich try to get the position of superior like white man. So invisibly we can see gape remains as it is but in other way, as post colonialism. And this idea reflects in this movie specially in the role of Shiva and Saleem. So here I try to apply the theory of Postcolonialism.And also we can see the crises between Hindu and Muslim in the movie. We can also see the generation gap in this movie. And new generation does not believe in crises of religion. So in this movie we can see Parvati give the birth of child, biological father is Shiva but child accepted by Saleem. It means our bloods are same but we separated people in different religions. We can see this idea in the movie ‘Kranti’ in which NanabhaiPatekarminguling the blood of hindu and muslim then he ask to people that tell me which blood of hindu and which of muslim. Thus I found social, cultural and political power that sustains colonialism and neocolonialism in this movie also.
