Here this film 's review is my class room activity. So I share it .
' Midnight children's ' novel is written by Salman Rushdie and this novel 's film adoption is also that, so this film directed by Deepa Mehta . Well film 's version is released in 2013 .and film in show that the two New born babies at the Midnight when India achieved its independence from the British. This movie presenting to various ages .beginning from the grandparents to the grandchildren. When India achieved independence in midnight at that time in birth by a nurse at a Bombay hospital, in the two baby's. One of poor 's baby and another of rich couple's baby.so nurse changed to each other this two babies. Well story 's fact is one ( saleem) is a son of beggar woman ( poor baby) where's the other child ( Shiva ), (rich baby) becomes the destined son of a wealthy couple.
Well this two children are born in to India 's independent moment at the Midnight . So this novel 's title is 'midnight children's 'is prooved it.
This film based on India before independent and after independent colonial & postcolonial aspects. It's about the political power and superiority & there Deepa mehta 's narration of Muslim it's challenge by marginalization .
This movie was shown to every circumstances which was shown political, economical and sociological affairs have been introduced in the post colonial atmosphere. Apart from this the painting of two children growing up between richness and poverty and the life of their two countries has been distressed.
The most important thing is that the film 's hero 'saleem ' which is not a Muslim but it is a Hindu 'Shiva ' . However, it has to be discriminated against by becoming a Muslim because he was a Muslim in the partition of India & Pakistan, so he was discriminated against in his family.
When saleem 's father realises that he is not his son ,then he also behaves with saleem with discrimination because there is no Muslim child but a Hindu child.
Saleem, Parvati gets the film if she goes ahead. Parvati is a dancing girl and she lives in a residential colony of Mumbai. Saleem marries with her. Parvati believes & doing magic and in the last moment, she dies herself and shiva's child is saved by magic. Then this child remains the basic of saleem.
But the child is not even saleem but it's Shiva. However, saleem adopts him and gives the essence of the movie.
So it's my postcolonial view of this movie. I really like this movie and story.
