      Are you ashamed to live?

      This is a film made from an award-winning literary work. I don't know why not many people watch it. It may be related to its story background. The world of black people, especially South Africa, does not have much attraction.



      After watching this movie, I am still thinking about why I used "Disgrace" as the title of this film, I can't see where the shame of this film comes from. Use teaching power to seduce girls, and girls have sex with half pushes? Rape but tolerate rapists...

      bad movie

      Some novels are not suitable for a film, such as "Shame".
        Coetzee's novel "Shame" is a very readable book, but it turned out to be very dull when made into a movie. If you take away the cultural background of the post-colonial era, it is difficult to understand what the film is about. I don't agree with those who put money on the movie "Shame" because it was so poorly done. I'm even questioning the need for this movie to exist.
        Especially the male protagonist, who plays Lurie has...

      originality

      After watching this film, my heart is very, very complicated, and now there are not many films that can make people's hearts complicated. What I want to say most is that the animal nature with eyes full of eyes is actually our nature, and any "nature goodness theory" is just a good wish. And shame is a noun, an objective existence, or a verb, and it can spread. Africa is not developing as well as said in Hundred Years of Solitude.

      The first thing I feel is that we are all driven by...

      we have to live

      I believe that many people have the same doubts as me. Why did Lucy compromise? Why not let the police bring her rapist to justice? Why give birth to the child who brought her humiliation? Why give up everything you have?

      Looking at it, all the problems gradually became clear.

      We must live.

      To live and choose a way of life means to choose both the light and glory it brings us, and the darkness and shame it brings us. The plot in the movie actually happened around...

      female shame in sex

      What shame? What does the word shame mean? Shame or shame? Shame for being shamed, or shame for being shamed?

      Men in civilized society are at the top of the whole society. The male protagonist Lurie is a university professor. He has knowledge, culture, status, and power. In his cognition, he believes that desire is the embodiment of vitality, so shame is to suppress his own desire, shame. It is disloyalty to self and submission to social morality...

      It feels very good! Sure enough, it's the basic of the Nobel Prize~ The story looks weird, but it's super-feeling~ The difference brought about by different ideas is simply a gulf. Markovic's taste is really good~the theme song is very...

      This is a depressing film. In the drama, every character is rational and perverted to the point of being neurotic. I thought it was a dark movie or the protagonist exploded at the end, etc. But in the end, nothing happened. The last sentence I said to my daughter about man's desire like a dog should not be condemned, etc. It is the source of his previous theory and the echo is worth...
