Krishna by Epified TV (India)
I am very confused as to why the characters in this story
are not questioning anything that happened. Yashoda did not question that she
woke up next to a boy when she gave birth to a girl. She was confused but she
did not question this fact. In fact, she went with it and did not wonder where
her baby girl went. She also does not question the fact that her husband brings
her another son to care for. Whose son is it and why is Yashoda so willing to
take the boy. Are the parents of this boy not worried about him? Yashoda also
does not question how close Putana gets to Krishna. Putana inserts herself into
their lives and know one is concerned about it. Yashoda then does not question
the fact that she finds her stolen baby next to a dead corpse of a demon. I
understand that the audience knows that Krishna is a god but Yashoda does not
know this so why is she allowing her child to do these things without question.
Once again, I enjoy that this is in video format and it makes it much easier to
follow along too. Another thing that I question/wonder about this story is that
straight of the bat the village people love Krishna. Why? Did he do something
special that was not said or is it just because he was born? I am curious to
see how King Kansa tries to find and kill the baby. The baby is far away and
how will he know that he has found the right baby? Is there a distinct make
that Krishna has to allow people to recognize him, like Harry Potter? Or will
the king just get a feeling that it is the right baby, and what happens if he kills
the wrong one?
