The male image in this year's Oscar-nominated film, the relationship between men and women is very interesting. First white males, American mainstream. The La La Land actress left the male musician after she became famous, leaving him playing sad love songs in a jazz bar. Manchester by the Sea is a woman as a wife and mother who abandons men when they get sick or make big mistakes, making it impossible to heal and rebuild family relationships. In the film, the three lacking blood relatives support each other. In addition, there is a particularly striking passage in the film. The younger brother Li returns to his elder brother's shipping company, where there are two acquaintances, a man and a woman. The man chatted with him, and the woman came out after he left and said that he couldn't let him come back after he made a big mistake. What a horrible image of women in it, there is no sympathy for women.

Depressed, heartbroken white man, unable to become an adult man to replace his father, nor to get a normal growth environment after losing his father, his life is about to change. Implied blame for women. It means that white men can't do it, and America is slumped. It's all to blame for you women who are not gentle.

White men are very weak and pitiful, and black movies have taken on the call of nationalism.

What does fences mean? The film is a father's story. Even if your father is different, but he raised you, he has his own experiences and pain, he is diligent and selfish, but raising you is responsible for you. He can't give you better, what you want, but he gives you what he can. A son must accept his father and his blood, so that he can grow up to be a man, and eventually become a father, generation after generation. The father is still the father's name, and the father's law is the country. Even if the United States is wrong, it is still your country, and you must accept this. What is the fence? It was during the Kennedy administration that racial segregation was breaking down, and the fence was still the barrier of the homeland, enclosing what was me, my country, what was an outsider, and what was a foreign country. Within the fence, black people took the initiative to integrate themselves into the history and traditions of the United States, breaking the isolation, but entering the fence of the greater America. In the film, the mother sings, Jesus is our fence. Several films refer to Christianity, the state religion of the United States, and illustrate America's conservative traditions.

"Hidden Figures" female, black. Shaping the black female technological elites who were once obscured by history, they are superior in wisdom, noble in personality, family and beautiful, neither arrogant nor inferior. In terms of social achievements, private life, and morality, he is a model for the American dream. Advocate through personal efforts, reasonable and legal ways to fight for rights, win respect, and ultimately achieve both personal and national ambitions. Instead of making trouble and asking for benefits. In the film, a female protagonist encounters black people on the street. She says to her son, "We don't cause trouble." This is what she said to the black people off the screen.

The film makes good use of space and movement as means of representation and symbolism. Originally, the three female scientists were just writing and calculating, which was too static, so in addition to the rocket taking off, the heroine ran many times, adding a sense of movement to look good. Racial segregation, breaking through segregation at NASA manifests itself by entering different houses and buildings. The heroine is constantly fighting for herself, and she keeps entering more and more important rooms.
