    I really like Douglas Sack's family dramas. He always describes the conflicts in the family so delicately and sincerely. It has always been said that Seke is a master of melodrama. Think about all those Qiong Yao dramas from Seke. Of course, there are more than one or two choreographers who have learned from Seike! After watching many of Seck's films, I have to sigh that the melodrama in the 1950s has reached such a high level, which is really...

    The class contradictions and the racial contradictions of the film "Deep Locked Spring, A House of Sorrows" are both set in the conservative and closed 1950s and 1960s in the United States. The two mothers and daughters of black and white people did not realize that the tragedy of the family was not just a personal problem, but the fundamental discrimination brought about by society. The melodrama, born in modern times when God was exiled, ends with the presence of God, which is a bit...

    Pretty bloody Melodrama. The theme of the film is not old, these problems have always existed, but they exist in other forms in today's society. I think the Chinese translations of Seike's films are very interesting, but this one is a little bit confusing to me. After all, I still want to see him make the line of "This Love Can Be Memories", not the racial conflict....

    In the 1950s, it was pointed out that women can also have the courage and ambition to fight for their careers, and praised the friendship between the two mothers who crossed the black and white class boundaries, but it was only limited to friendship, and did not discuss equal rights for black groups; the performance of the heroine in the second half was extremely explosive. , a very modern way of...
