with smiling tears

The smile with tears, the art of black people, is warmth.

French director Spielberg's "Purple" I read it hard, I really don't like black people, especially black males. The existence of races is destined to abide by a certain order for human existence, and the makers and executors of the rules of this order distinguish the pros and cons of races. You see the violence, ignorance, submissiveness, and inherent ugliness in the movie, and you know the vileness and vulgarity of this race. Especially the actress Sang's singing and dancing in the tavern, the man was drooling, she only knew the seniority of our caste compared to the gentle and elegant oriental people. However, after seeing the end of the film, I found out that these kinds of inferior actions are all set for the self-help of black women, and everything is just to render their awakening, just like the awakening of the tree man in "The Lord of the Rings".

Sister Healy has never succumbed to indifference. She is as simple as a child, and she uses the kindness she knows to face the world and everyone around her. She hates beating her and humiliating her husband, but the kitchen at home is clean and tidy, the bed linen and clothes are neat and tidy, and the three meals a day are warm and delicious; she is jealous of the actress Sang, whom her husband misses day and night, when Sang is sick and killed in the rainy night When her husband took her home and laughed at her ugliness, Healy fry her steak, fry eggs, fry bread, bathe her, brush her hair, and hum a lullaby softly in her ear. In their eyes, they need the care and love of people like injured children, although they seem to be old. Healy herself was sterile, and was incapacitated when she gave birth to her stepfather's second child.

But pure kindness can't just help in the water and fire. Her resignation can only make her more and more dry and thin. In this perverted family, she has no children of her own, no financial income, no complete personality and self-esteem, and even There is no fundamental freedom. Her freedom is nothing but a dog locked in the yard. Kindness is not the director's original intention, warmth is only the makeup applied to the face of the film, and self-help is the essence. Spielberg seems to hope that with the help of people of the same race, black people can progress into an advanced group of freedom, equality and fraternity. And put this hope on a pure and kind girl. She is an ugly black woman, illiterate, and her dependent sister was kicked out of the house by her husband. She has no economic income, can't have children, and is at the lowest level of society. Although she has nothing, she has the most precious kind heart, and the kindness of forgiving others brings her luck and final freedom.

Sang took her away from her violent and ignorant husband. The death of her stepfather gave her a house and a field, and her tailor shop was prosperous. Finally, her sister who fled to Africa brought back a boy and a girl who was born in her early years. In a happy ending, all black women get the happiness they want.

Writing this, I think far-fetched (because this lengthy movie didn't move me while watching it, maybe this move needs to be carefully recollected...), if she is still like this, let alone me who is in a better situation than her. Life is like a dream, but life is also a long journey for decades, cheer up and cheer up.
