      History of Ethnic Evolution & Assimilation

      Assimilate to cry blood

      Elmia was reluctant to return to her hometown until she was old, and she was nervous about the funeral of her own sister, and desperately wanted to leave. Her peers in her bloodline see her as an alien, and her whole life she desperately wants to fit in will never be truly accepted. The old man officiating the funeral told her that her sister had been marking her reindeer all her life, and she couldn't break the barrier in her...

      Where did you come from and where will you go back

      When I was very young, I moved with my parents from the mountains in the southwest to Jiangsu, and left my familiar friends. In the new environment, my tone of voice, dress and way of looking at things were all out of place. I was born in the mountains. Blocked, shabby, ignorant. In school, because of my tone of voice and slow response, I once rejected my identity as a transfer student from a backward area. Due to the backwardness of learning, the three perspectives...

      A story about physical discipline

      The Sami people are the aboriginal people of the Nordic region and a minority in today's Sweden. Like me, most people who watch the movie have never seen or even heard of such a nation before. But this story obviously touched a lot of people. What got us interested in the experience of a Sami girl? Which corners of our hearts does this story touch?

      Audiences from different backgrounds seem to have found some confusing issues in this story, about national identity, cultural...

      escape from blood

      (Text / Yang Shiyang)

      How many people have spent their entire lives trying to escape the shackles of their original identity - their family of origin, their homeland, or their original particular culture. People go to the distance and firmly refuse to look back. This kind of escape sometimes achieves oneself, but also hurts oneself. The sense of tearing in it can only be digested silently. Just like Ella-Maya in this "Blood of Sami", suddenly another culture, another civilization,...

      Is it a mistake to run away? Is it a mistake to hold on? It's just those idiots with strange eyes. In the end, the mother took the belt, and the sentence "please forgive me" hit the soft...

      The little girl, the protagonist, has the same expression as Rosetta of the Darney brothers. Externally, it is the struggle of minorities. Like the Ewenki people I watched two days ago, the first thing to face is how to go out, then how to survive, and then how to face the hometown. Inside is the growth of a young girl. Great debut and amateur...

      It was peaceful but deeply shocking. So inexplicably scrolled twice on the interactive platform. This universality between races and classes, the similarity of women's awakening and wanting to struggle and resisting deeply, the calm but expressive performance of the actors, especially the contrast of the actors' innate physical conditions, the setting of the plot, from the family From family affection to love to independent growth, there is nothing unreal, natural and convincing. Completely...

      Although I don’t think a sense of national identity is inherently necessary, it is another matter to choose to flee the ethnic group because of being excluded and be forced to integrate into the mainstream. Thanks for this film, for letting me know that there is a Sami as a...

      A good film, the material selection, theme, and concept are all good, the shooting is smooth and clean, and the heroine's performance is even more...

    Movie plot

    The Nordic region is populated by a group of aboriginal people called "Sami people" who have their own culture and living habits. In the 1920s and 1930s, Sweden attempted to assimilate this game herdsman. The Sami cannot use their own language at school and must speak Swedish, but after a brief education they still return to their tents in the mountains and continue to hang out with the reindeer, as Swedish anthropologists stubbornly...

    Evaluation action

    "Sameblod" tells a terribly underwhelming story, but it reflects a generalized anxiety. The film has a lot of cool and cold natural scenery and sparse dialogues. It is not as dull as an anthropological documentary as one might expect, and it is by no means as curious as it is from a top-down perspective. It's a film made of eyes, gestures, details, and so on. What's great about this film is that it doesn't just present phenomena, but...
