      How to face injustice?

      What I feel most deeply is that just a few decades of difference, the level of civilization of the society has been greatly improved. The unfair treatment of racism and homosexuality now seems so backward and even cruel. This is also the result of countless people like Kath's little effort. There are still various injustices in today's society, and I may look back on it in a few years, and I will feel like watching this movie today. I hope that I can do something positive to the...

      It's not that I don't want to be kind, it's that I'm not brave enough

      Today, I want to talk about two movies, one is called "Far From Heaven" and the other is called "Guardian of Caring People", both of which are related to racism, kindness, and finally, courage.

      "Far From Heaven"

      "Far Away" is a remake of "Deep Locking Spring and One Courtyard Sorrow" in 1955, its original name was "all the heaven"

      allows". But I prefer this translation. Here I want to say a little digression: in the early days of China, it was required that foreign...

      HEAVEN?

      The 1000th film chose Moore's nominated film, which I love. This director seems to love making taboo relationships in the 40s and 50s. Maybe fifteen years from now, this film will be criticized for femininity and smearing of LGBT people because of gender and race. Caused an emotional gap, both innate and acquired, after eliminating the eyes of the people around them, it seems that the director does not want to discuss responsibilities, but just wants to show the different handling methods of...

      far from heaven

      Husband cheating is not scary what is scary is that her husband comes out of the closet. . But what's even more terrifying is the psychiatrist's treatment of homosexuality (such as electric shock therapy) and the trampling and insulting of various personalities of black people by whites (recently reading the book "Embrace Defeat", I can feel more and more that the United States is really a whole The most rogue country in the world, no one.). . Foucault wrote in his "Madness and Civilization"...

      Still the same, the aesthetics that are almost overwhelming, the very sophisticated sense of age, and the theme are all suppressed marginalized people. Maybe Carol's cut is smaller, so it's more suitable for...

      Are universal values ​​so important, even if they are fundamentally wrong, even if people have no right to judge and condemn others... But cold eyes and rumors kill people... Finally I know why Moore is not favored by the Oscar, because there has never been a A thoroughly good role is given to her, and finally it is not a generous maternal setting, but it is not ugly enough to be hysterical... If it weren't for Nicole, "All the Time" might be able to win a...

      Gender VS Race... How is Julianne Moore not an Oscar winner...

      It wraps two of the most modern issues in the most classical aesthetic: homosexuality and race. But it's still classical in nature, because so many legendary love stories are about this kind of eroticism and...

    The film reflects the epitome of an era and a level of American society, and through a few characters, it delicately shows the attitude towards ethnic minorities and homosexuality at that time. First-class performances and exquisite handling need to be savored slowly. (Comment by Hubei Radio and TV Station   )
    The film pays tribute to the director Douglas Seck in the 1950s and expresses the director's keen interest in the family...
