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.
没想到这种密集对白的戏码竟然比特效大片更过瘾刺激，热血沸腾，在唇枪舌剑中穿插还原事件，这种高能的对白和剪辑我之前只在社交网络和乔布斯里见过，居然都是同一个人的剧作，艾伦索金，记住这个大佬了。
回顾起来 Abbie要比Tom格局大得多
我們需要這類的電影，雖然在某一節點上屬於挑撥觀眾情緒的視聽手法，但是其電影所呈現的角度確實犀利的，值得人們思考的，也願意去挖掘更多背後的歷史價值的，那其實就是一部好的電影。
节奏非常好，很精彩。我本来是个对历史政治一点都不感兴趣的人。最近通过几部电影，真的感觉自己在这方面缺失，就像一个井底之蛙……
索金的话唠电影，政治倾向鲜明，好莱坞标准产品，因为太标准，所以总是不错看的，剧本，剪辑，群戏，法庭戏都在合格标准以上，当科普也是不错的，政治宣言本身~~~咱啥都不懂，啥都不说。
My life. //
导演的场景调度能力好强！前面半个小时，我一直在想为什么要看这个？后面越来越投入！节奏快，思路清晰！
如果说在这个背离真实的年代，有何可称之为良心的话，我想那只能是过去的发生过的良心——也即这部电影里重述的故事。
卡司，剪辑，内容俱佳。最喜欢律师，异皮，胖哥和小雀斑互相嘴炮那几段。还有基顿叔依然气场足。原来美国也有政治审判哦，这部芝加哥《七佰》拍的不错。
集结了非常多优秀的演员，信息量对于我这种不了解情况的简直叹为观止。节奏张弛有度，基本全靠文本推进，但一点不无聊。【The whole world's watching.】
艾伦索金带着强烈个人风格的左派作品，密集犀利的台词是子弹，锋利痛快的剪辑是刀刃，说的是60年代的芝加哥七君子审判，瞄准的却是当今美国。左派与否，这个时代需要民主，民主需要发声。
不得不说比索金上一部导演的片子稳了太多，该痛就痛该爽就爽。一切历史都是当代史，是“OUR blood”掀起了暴乱。波拉特演了个这么严肃（？）的角色差点没认出来
最后海姆的庭上讲话让我热泪盈眶，不多言语，放弃自己可以获得减刑的机会，向世界表明自己的立场，即使是作为对方律师也站起身来表达对于死者的尊重。回到影片本身，在我看来更像是政治权益的搏斗，而七君子就是政治下的牺牲品，就像海姆自己说的那样，选举才是第一位，剩下的民主，正义都要往后放放。也同样就像艾比在证人席上的回应，他对于这个制度，机关部门喜欢的不得了，可他痛恨的是那些在这些机关部门里的人。即使是愿意出席的钱司法部长也是如此，他不是真的为了能够解救这7个人的生命，免去牢狱之灾，而是为了给新上任的部长看看，我虽然退了，但我还有点底气，跟你对着干的底气，只不过这个案子给了一个契机罢了。
最后歌曲响起很感动，虽然对那段历史不太了解，也看得出是美国一贯的电影风格，追求自由才是宪法精神。
不得不说，艾伦索金的剧本功力太了得了，美国人拍这种题材也是出神入化。 整个电影张力十足，最后的结案陈词差点看哭。为什么一直用理想对抗不公，为什么一直没有放弃，因为全世界再看！
三星半。总体而言群戏还是不算出彩，几乎好的段落，是有意的凸出了个体，众人之间没有再形成一个好看的整体性的东西，当然这个整体也只是为了这个事件服务，庭审戏除了对白的来回之外，大多戏点都在藐视，这就是一种韩影式的处理方式了，反而那些游行，甚至接电话的女孩的戏被对比得更好看。这部电影对比艾伦索金之前的作品失去了一种精致机巧的美，原因是背后的这桩暴乱事件，也因为此事此事写就了全片最后的高潮戏。
行吧，之前想说的不让发，那我就删了，不让管理员这个时间点还加班。
单从剪辑来看，确实比较乱，政见陈述的混乱及关键场景的暧昧处理，再加上一味的煽情式哗众，整体的导演水准是较低的，因为这不紧模糊了事件本身，还放大了的同情因素，整部影片从技术来说也只是一部不怎么样的美式主旋律。然而，从事件可以看到的是，在60年代的美国，这种政治审判也曾是一个半公开的迫害手段，司法机器也可以是象征性地运转，像演出一幕又臭又长的荒诞剧，但我不知道为何有人会拿这个和另一个国度相对比，无论结构、系统、媒体、态度、记录、影响、讨论等等完全是另一个时空，除了有同名的器官外实在找不出有何可比性，公平、公正等也是不同的概念，判断体系的落后与进步简直是开玩笑！又何来优越、羡慕、愤怒？只有一点，我们是不是从来没有错，如果没有，有没有承认的勇气？如果有，还有没有承认的勇气？
太工整了，一百二十分作文，少见的极左但不至于太讨厌的作品。political trial，唯一用生命抗争的，是名字和数量没有出现在事件中的黑人。
虽然知道主旋律，但是还是看得很燃。能感觉到艾伦索金的编剧功力，有张有弛，比如our blodd, Abby在公堂上就是不说，憋死我了。但是也正因为此有点过于匠气（明显是鸡蛋里挑骨头）
