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.
非常喜欢，色调和镜头都太美了。有一种深沉的悲伤。
很多地方都很感人，我以为我懂得她的孤独，亚马逊车间的镜头尤其有意思。但这明确地是个他者的故事，用的也是他者的视角。
被全球化進程帶來的美國本土製造業的凋敝甩出的產業工人，拒絕任何中產階級的生活方式，進入一種得到美化和歌頌的流浪生活，且這種流浪遠行的精神，遙承了西進時代勤懇、冒險、開拓、野蠻的騎士精神和60年代自由的嬉皮士精神。後二者也被認為是典型的本土化的美國“國家精神”，片中正隨處可見作為符號的高高飄揚的美國國旗。片末女主回到工廠所在的小鎮，表達的是對製造業和工人階級的黃金時代的懷緬，而作為主角的底層白人房車客，正符合以製造業回流和“美國優先”的民粹主義為基本政策的特朗普的典型支持者的畫像。從這個意義上說，這部以情緒、氛圍和體驗取勝的，類似紀錄片的好萊塢劇情片，包含了清晰、鮮明的政治立場，以及對美國社會問題、特別是階級問題的自我反思。2021年2月10日（臘月廿九）下午、24日（正月十三）深夜於海甸島。
看得非常舒服的电影，像散文诗一样。来来去去，潮落潮起，自我放逐的旅者恒在路上。你能看到打零工、捉襟见肘的现实，也能看到每一次太阳从苍茫大地上升起的诗意。刻意离群索居，游离于亲密关系之外的女主，你能懂得她的孤独，也会认可她的选择。人性、历史大背景、自然的诗意，以近乎纪录片的松弛结构完美融合，得奖也合情合理。
勉强两分。看睡着了。本片的女性表达，在深度和形式上，相比同样得了金狮的《天涯沦落女》或是只拿到提名的《奥兰多》都是种倒退（这些片子都含有依托时空转换揭晓女性禀赋与环境对冲的动机）。这电影基本是科恩嫂一直游荡各地打短工、跟朋友闲聊、保持自身独立这些内容的循环，它没有主线，也谈不上有什么剧情，台词大部分都是片汤话，角色状态没起伏，色调清冷压抑，科恩嫂跟老头讲自己活在回忆里算是直接点题了，但这老头是谁？科恩嫂为什么对他说这些？明明全片去戏剧化，又用这种生硬的方式点题，显得编导能力的可笑了。本片也有些许编制&解构又一部依托公路的美国神话的成分，比如电影里出现了多次关于各种石头的设计，表示女主角因经济问题不得不上路的同时，还有石头所代表的永恒价值，这主题并不稀奇，况且科恩嫂的表演方式容易让人感到她偏执
基调是感伤的，然而赵婷的镜头施加给弗恩的不是“磨难”而是“浪漫”，这估计也是赵婷与凯莉•雷查德之间的差距。
起初以为是命运的安排使人孤独，后来发现是自己选择了孤独，就像狂风巨浪中的鸟，在飞翔的时候才能体会到生命的广阔和人性的不屈，最后才明白，在路上是因为不想与心中那个他的影子诀别，不能停下，因为停下悲伤就会湮没自己。
女主在挚友房间那一幕，他劝说她不如就留下来，然而他怀中的婴儿声声啼哭一次次打断他的话头，像是在提醒她自己只是局外人，她接过婴儿仔细端详，影片于太多无声处在与观众交流，试图通过绝佳的节奏感，通过镜头的气息带入角色的内心世界，真的不俗，不得不说麦克多蒙德作为制片人，牛逼
But what if I am blind? What if I am so numb that could feeling nothing even pain? What if I am poor to death, to stink, to disability of movement? What if I know nothing about Shakespeare?
这是一部表现追求独立人格的电影，哀而不伤。
如果一个人每天都在自残，拒绝善意，又要融入社会，却无法跟自己和解。这样的电影，即便镜头很美，配乐舒缓，看完又能感受到什么呢，意义呢？很多人都在跟海边的曼彻斯特做对比。从我个人的灼见来讲，剧情的发展，情感的张力，和人物的内心成长，都不可相提并论。同样是无法和过去和解，曼彻斯特跟人的力量非常强大，男主其实还是得到了救赎；但无依之地最后回到离开的地方，画了一个圆而已。所以中间整个电影就是导演沉醉于自我抛弃的一种美的表达吗？两星给演技。
There's no final goodbye
她一直和世界是疏离的，状态不定，在amazon工作间里行走时，她左右向大家主动打着招呼，但又有点讷讷。做营地管理员后，好像一下有了元气，跑入石阵群深处被搭救，向朋友挥手时像做错事的小姑娘。最后抱着小婴儿一时慌乱，却还是走出屋檐，心中也许就像那片海，也是有波澜挣扎的。这一路经过的好多人也都记忆深刻，可一次次短暂陪伴后回归沉静，真的太寂寞了，屏幕前的我感同身受，却不得不（有点绝望的）被她拽着继续行进下去，继续路上再见，心中默念着十四行诗。20210608
最后再讲点民粹的事情：一开始赵婷拿大奖，国内一通吹我是非常不屑一顾的：我猜她拍的就是美国电影，拿奖正常，跟你有什么关系。看完之后觉得自己狭隘了，人类情感的共通之处是远比国别之间的差别大得多的，那些孤独、记忆、不后悔、安静是全人类共享的。希望2021年我自己更多元一点，不要太狭隘吧。
我知道有瑕疵，但还是被打动了。不是无家可归，是早就心无所属。最后她又回到那个地方，触碰到往日的旧时光，望向窗外，走向更广阔的新天地。
真的就很马力克，尤其是科恩嫂的单人镜头的时候，所以还挺享受的。但是在这样的题材下又要刻意收敛政治表述又显得很失策，但是考虑到赵婷的移民身份，她也是更多的想审视而不是参与其中的，所以造就了镜头和人物中间的这种疏离感，反倒让电影有些不同。羡慕她作为一个中国出生的富二代可以起点很高的拍自己喜欢风格的电影。
献给不得不上路的人。
「獻給所有不得不分別的人。路上再見。See you down the road.」我們是旅人，是某地的旅人，是彼此人生的旅人，是社會環境的旅人，是大自然的旅人，是宇宙和世界的旅人。萍水相逢浪跡天地，正因如此溫柔相待。同時也用歸宿來對照流浪，用執念來對照淡然。不得不面對、接受離別，而追逐讚頌的仍是永不完結的絢爛夏天。再看這樣的美國荒野公路片，就越覺得自己「是被城市、尤其是多彩便捷的香港寵壞」。一邊看一邊覺得好愛配樂，看endroll居然是Ludovico Einaudi！

感觉这个选材无敌了，基本已经成功了六七成。残酷的现实和诗意的人的精神内核共存，无敌的美国路上风光给后者的呈现加分太多，所以其实对前者的启示是，要流浪，要做homeless，去美国。。。好吧，虽然觉得成功主要靠选材，但处理上毫无滞涩，纯熟老练，而且是自己改编的剧本，赵导演眼看就是李安后又一个毫无违和的可以把握美国精神内核的来自东方的导演。。。
