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.
《第一归正会》的模式延续，亦或该将故事追溯至《出租车司机》。只剩下与昔日罪孽搏斗的死去的心灵在对另一颗伤痕累累的心灵拯救上看到了与自我和解的希望。逼仄，压抑，故事发展缓慢，一如倾注于牌局的那份极致的冷静与控制，却也投射向回忆书写里往日监狱的折磨与狂虐。算牌和审讯都是博弈，即便被无情却空洞的眼神骗过，萦绕于影片中的喘息声也昭示着负罪的灵魂在这两个禁锢的空间中徘徊。爱情戏是败笔，而除了主角外的人物塑造也并不成功，但在施拉德一贯的故事模式和这鲜明的上世纪好莱坞风格下，让人仿佛回到了昔日斯科塞斯的世界里，而在那里，我们曾经何等感慨不已。
故弄玄虚的氛围和温吞的剧情推进有点脱节，爱情戏则像是硬加进去的佐料没有任何chemistry ，而”墙上挂着一把枪”的铺垫下的结果竟然是”我就是不让你看到我是怎么用的”，真是让人觉得非常没劲了。如果是一本小说，或许还挺值得一看。
施拉德是一位优秀的编剧 但不是优秀的导演 剧情太散且闷… 广角监狱那段是唯一亮点 ？
可惜的是，畸变的画面将创伤展现得很好，理解和爱的说服力则没那么强。
[2021.09.29 @K11AH] +，摄影、构图、色调都挺好的，剧本太弱了。
很温柔的一种拍法，牌桌与现实并行的剧作结构，围绕压力转移的概念，战争创伤另辟蹊径的表达，把一场十分温情的戏放在一个看似五彩斑斓但是冷冰冰的数字化景观中，也无异于男主色调单一的世界。扭曲或者间隔暴力场面，遭遇无法被重现，置于现场才会真正理解，是电影永远无法抵达的地方。牌算得再好，人也拗不过情绪。只是觉得爱情戏过于跳脱
很难想像赌博与虐囚能在同一部电影里面关联起来，导演展示的这种救赎与复仇故事显得很有特色。全片气质色调很复古，有种油画的质感，而节奏和叙述上比较冷峻克制，仿佛高手过招，一招制敌，就如同男主的设定，黑监狱的优秀员工，赌场上的常胜将军，情场上的不败战神，每次住酒店都要所有物品包上白布，其头脑和思维永远都那么有条不紊冷静清晰。最后男主梦想以他自己的方式渡黑监狱受害者的儿子却败得一塌糊涂，这个反转可以说是全片的画龙点睛之神笔，充分说明人性的根本和世界的残酷，很多时候不是你想就能如愿，很多时候就是宿明的结果。片中对德州扑克的描写还是有点香港赌片的感觉，但较港片的浮夸来说更真实和引人入胜，不说了，赶紧去玩几把德州扑克吧。
以反类型之眼观物，“异常”严肃认真的语气驱动影像的inner groove形成某种特殊的张驰之力。好几个摇臂推进的俯视镜头经常给人一种恍惚和间离感，人物仿佛不属于此刻，而是永远流寓在生活的螺旋中。
赌场为障眼法，重要的是对两座监狱截然不同的描绘方式，创伤由此展示切口。片尾反在空间隔阂中，用指尖的相连扣了题，精彩。奥斯卡·伊萨克分外迷人。
除了那句“usa！usa!”还有极其敷衍的床戏之外，没有任何可看的地方，太无聊了！不3倍速放完根本坚持不下去！
why！！！！！！went through so many trouble for 伐木内
算牌是一层幌子，掩盖了痛苦，在Cirk那条短信后创口被活生生撕裂血肉模糊，走向黑暗的方向，我看的时候整个人都在抖。结尾有点看到《好时光》，“I’ll take you home”，对这种注脚是爱与温情的实在没有抗拒力。对伤痛电影的理解愈发深刻了….
音乐不错。除此之外，一部无聊的烂片，导演故弄玄虚，可惜很多内容不能引起共鸣。很多枝枝蔓蔓毫无意义。为什么很多人推崇呢，实在搞不懂。烂片。
太高冷的电影，看不懂。打着算牌的幌子，讲的是一个很晦涩的主题，不是我的菜
几乎承载理性的固定镜头：只横摇，推轨时景别却不变，变焦时聚焦主体又不动。以及，奇观的3D样的鱼眼长镜头。
主题和算牌的关联性有些不明所以。顶尖的算牌人理当由细节及微表情洞悉他人内心，可终究没看清一个嫩头青的决绝。自我的救赎终究不能心平气的和完成，身受才能成全感同，罪与罚才得以消解。整体来说故事节奏较慢，圣母式的设定没有可信任的基础，爱情来的突然，以爱结尾更有些莫名其妙，并不算很吸引我的片子。
三星半。有种有意为之的松散，似乎映照的是角色的心理感受
形式上的性冷淡感拉的满满的，如同故事的底色般苍白。
鱼眼镜头 USA 白桌布 呼吸声 霓虹灯 有些片段克制一点会更好 plus谁看了Oscar Issac不想叫一声daddy呢
只是想看看oscar听他声音的我没想到这是一部这么深邃的片子…… 难受的高潮还是在最后的转折
