Female Independence, Racial Contradictions - Sberber's Ambition: Fighting for the Oscars

From purple, to human and ghost, to the nun series, Whoopi is an amazing actor. She's not beautiful, she's black, but she's definitely a powerhouse with character. She is sometimes timid, sometimes cunning, sometimes humorous, sometimes cute. Her eyes are vivid, her smile is funny and cute, she adds color to the film.

Xili's fate is not good, she looks bad, has a weak personality, and is married to a domestic violence and unfaithful man, but she always secretly laughs, she guards her little happiness. In fact, she longs for independence, longing for life, and longing for love.

Lao Si deliberately chose black people to tell this story of female independence, which is a little cunning. If it is a white person, it will be a little mediocre, and white women are indeed liberated earlier. Racial inconsistencies make the story's intent to hit the Oscars all the more obvious. The story and shooting techniques are quite traditional and quite satisfactory. If I were told that this was a film from the 1950s, I would believe it. The protagonist went from weakness, experiencing setbacks to growth, resistance, to success, and finally gave us a touching happy ending. Overall, the story is brought to life by Whoopi's performance.

I know what it like to wanna sing... and have it beat out 'ya. I want to thank you, Miss Celie, fo everything you done for me. I 'members that day in the store with Miss Millie - I's feelin' real down. I's feelin' mighty bad. And when I seed you - I know'd there is a God. I know'd there is a God.

  • Squeak: You just a big ol' heifer!
