1. Beauty is really the passport to the world
In the past, I always thought that I couldn't appreciate the aesthetics of black people, but after watching the heroine in the play and the gorgeous Sidili in reality, I realized that beauty really has nothing to do with race. When I was a child, I read "Sinberda's Voyages", in which the black bride among the seven brides of Sinbad was described as having black pearl-like skin. At that time, it really felt unimaginable, but now I really understand that she is So beautiful. In fact, think that many of our aesthetics are influenced by subconscious racial thoughts. We can appreciate white beauties, but why are we rarely able to appreciate black beauties?
2. Love is not everything
The love in the film basically has no good results. The black American boy whom the heroine has a crush on is famous, but it also prompts the heroine to go to a wider world and devote herself to more meaningful things.
Wasn't the heroine's mother a brave girl back then? I believe that she and the heroine's father also truly loved each other back then, so she was able to resolutely leave her parents' family with better conditions and marry to the other side of the desert to be an ordinary herdsman's wife. I don't know if she regrets it now, but at least she has let Huasi out of the cage and has a chance to change her destiny.
As for the female lead's fake husband, Neil, I really don't think he really loves the female lead. He is more like the white male lead in "Miss Saigon" and "Mrs. Butterfly". He just thinks he is saving the female lead. Lord, satisfy your vanity and sense of moral nobility, and over time you will expose your own inferiority. In the end, being able to break up peacefully with the heroine at least proves that he is not particularly bad. I don't think it's wrong for the heroine to get divorced after obtaining permanent residency here. Because this marriage was not real at the beginning, it was an agreed deal, if the heroine was with Neil because of guilt, it would only hurt others and herself in the end.
3. Family and Friendship
The heroine's father's face is blurred. He may not be a big villain, but he can sell his daughter for a few camels. The heroine's mother gave birth to 12 children, from a once brave and enthusiastic girl to a mother and wife without her own name. The heroine's younger brother is cute and lively. In any case, I sincerely hope that they will survive the hardships and wars. The heroine's grandmother is an enlightened and wise old man. Although she cannot raise her granddaughter who has never met because of family pressure, she has made the best arrangement for the heroine and sent her to London to stay away from Somalia in the war. , and also gave the heroine a chance to change her life against the sky.
Marilyn, who has been standing behind the heroine from beginning to end, looks ordinary, not beautiful enough or rich enough, but she really has a selfless heart and does her best to support the heroine, which is also in the process. She also became confident.
4. Bole
Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it. When the heroine was wandering in London, she encountered the well-known photographer Wormtail, which gave the heroine a chance to change her destiny. He discovers and unearths the beauty of the heroine without a hint of lewdness, and is a true artist. And the mean-spirited female executive, despite her constant complaints, still helped the heroine a lot. It is their professionalism and seriousness that together make this society better and better.
5. Chastity Lock
When I saw the circumcision in Africa, I immediately thought of the long-standing tradition of foot binding in China. I also remembered the chastity lock mentioned in "The Woman in the Enclosed House", and the chastity arch in "Smoke Lock Tower". In fact, all of these are shackles imposed on women, and they even claim to protect their reputation and chastity. Do women benefit from this? absolutely not. Although the female protagonist was circumcised when she was very young, she was still almost molested by a black car driver when she was a girl and suffered for 20 years. So does the heroine's efforts make sense? It is meaningful, but the road is still very long. Today's Africa is still in turmoil and poverty. When the people here can't even eat, the liberation of women is impossible to talk about.
