When talking about the topic of homosexuality in the first issue of "Wonderful Flowers", Cai Kangyong suddenly lost his mind: "We are not monsters, we can live here well. But only when we climb to the top of an industry can we prove ourselves. It can also be excellent.” At that time, tears shed the audience, and it also caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet. I absolutely believe that what the audience shed were all sincere tears, and the truthful words exchanged for heart-to-heart definitely shook the society to a certain extent. I have a deep-rooted concept of the small crowd, but unfortunately, most of them still have the inherent prejudice and discrimination against the small crowd unconsciously after drying their tears, and it is the same for me.
In "Philadelphia Story", gay Andrew was originally an excellent lawyer. He hid his sexual orientation and the fact that he was suffering from AIDS from his boss. Later, his boss found out that he was ill and was fired. With his help, he won the lawsuit and fought for the rights of AIDS patients.
The film was released in the United States in the 1990s. It can be clearly seen that even though this is a relatively free and open country, discrimination against homosexuality is very serious. The city where people hang out in bars will also speak out about their disgust for homosexuality, but since the film has been made public and has become famous, it can be seen to a certain extent that many people have already stood up to call for, At least the one who accepts the concept, did not know that the film was adapted from a true story in Philadelphia after watching the movie and searching for relevant information on the Internet.
An interesting point is that a black lawyer won a lawsuit for a homosexual with AIDS, a black leader who has slowly emerged from the abyss of ignorant discrimination, holding the fear of homosexuality and AIDS patients diminishing, to help him fight for his rights. I noticed that the black lawyer's house in the film is full of portraits and photos of black people, and the dolls held by their children are also black-skinned dolls. Can I guess whether they are actually xenophobic in their hearts, or are they against people of other skin colors? people keep a distance? Perhaps it is the natural estrangement or they are still a little afraid of the racial discrimination they have suffered. This is probably the mark made by history. The power of time has not completely updated the concept of the whole society, and has not been able to heal the hearts of the wounded. cracks.
In fact, many people are discriminated against consciously or unconsciously, big or small. For example, the boss in the film exaggerates the earrings of his subordinates, hoping that she can wear some normal earrings, which hides another social problem: What are normal earrings? What is a normal person? Who is qualified to define the meaning of the word "normal"? Is that the boss? Is it the master of power? Or elders? Or are only mediocre people who follow the mainstream path impartially and step-by-step to qualify as a normal person? It is the many stereotypes that stay in our minds that frame ourselves and limit the pace of others, so that we will justly accuse others of being unreasonable, and will step on the moral high ground to criticize others. I am afraid that discrimination is everywhere, from the short and long in the mouths of our best friends, to the words that we are familiar with. We discriminate against others, and at the same time are looked down upon, and a large part of discrimination comes from the innate awareness of the unknown. Come ignorance and fear, such as AIDS, now we all know that it is only transmitted through blood, mother-to-child and body fluids, and there is no danger in normal daily contact, so we are not so afraid, we can do this It is said that with the advancement of science and technology, we gradually understand the unknown field, and some discrimination is gradually weakened, and discrimination comes from ignorance to a certain extent.
What touched me the most in the whole film was Andrew's partner. He knew that Andrew was sick and betrayed him one night, but he never gave up, and finally chose to respect Andrew's choice. die when. On the night before Andrew's death, his family members came to say goodbye to him one by one. In fact, everyone had already accepted this fact in their hearts and could endure the pain and smile to part with Andrew. Only when his partner bent over to approach Andrew His emotions reached saturation, and he burst into tears at that moment. Many people love Andrew, but only his partner truly understands the loneliness and struggles in his heart. This understanding and companionship are also two-way. I know about Andrew's partner's life, but his heart must be full of holes. At the moment when his emotions collapsed, his incomparable pain spread to my heart through the screen. I was choked up after watching this film for a long time. I finally couldn't hold back and cried, thanking Andrew's partner's tears for fulfilling my emotional release, even now when I type this line, I still feel a sore throat and nose, which is very uncomfortable. In that moment, the love between them that I felt had already transcended gender, time and space, and even life and death. I couldn't tell what kind of love it was, but I felt his splendor and thought of the night. The bright starry sky and the narrow universe.
Going back to the beginning of the article, in fact, I know that I can’t help but still have prejudice against some small groups. Occasionally, I will take a few more glances and secretly discuss a few words, but I am willing to understand more and understand those people. I haven't been able to touch the concepts and people. In fact, human beings are creatures who follow the trend and are willing to take a little time to change. I think that all discrimination and prejudice are difficult to predict in a foreseeable time. It's completely eliminated, but I also believe in the power of time and reasonable callers - every once in a while a new wave of blood is put into people's minds. Let us be confident enough to believe in the goodness of human nature.
At the end of the film, a video of Andrew's childhood is played at Andrew's funeral. A boy with big eyes and a fleshy face is playing with his friends on the beach. In his amber pupils, there is blue purity, a warm future, There is infinite beauty, there is no difference in level among children, there is no strange vision, as long as he runs forward and smiles hard, he can be very happy. I don't know if that was the most comfortable moment before he woke up from his big dream. When he sighed, the ending song "philadelphia" of the movie came: "...i won't be ashamed of love...tell me i'm not to blame…”
Yes, no one should be ashamed of love.
