Movies from the 1960s. Won many awards. Trinity. Talk about black and white matching, and then the two families can't accept each other. The final turning point is the speech of the white parents—the style is entirely a television speech by the US President, which tells us clearly in whose hands the power is held. On the black side, Dr. P, who is extremely academically successful, Dr. Yale, a professor at a university, is an absolute elite. The white side, the daughter of a civil rights fighter, is young and beautiful, full of courage, and grew up in the education of equality between black and white by his parents. The two fell in love at first sight in Hawaii and decided for life-but they haven't gone to bed yet-what a pure movie-but somewhat weird: the mother asked her daughter "how are you doing?" and then pretended to regret. I'm sorry I shouldn't ask..." The daughter interrupted and said, "No, I don't mind. Are you asking if we have sex? We haven't!"-This is too bad here. No one doesn't know what the sixties were. You don't say that I still don't think about that. Such a high-level and comprehensive shaping, on the contrary, highlights the inertia of everyone at that time. To a certain extent, this movie is really like a stage play, showing the contradictions in the shortest time, and then speaking too clearly, the characters have no personality, and they are all shaking like symbolic silhouettes. The lines are too witty, more or less like a poem recitation.
I have always liked to pick sesame seeds. In the film, there is a pair of supporting roles, the little helper in the bakery (white) and the daughter of the housekeeper (black). When there is heavy resistance from the other black and white pair in the house, they go out on a date easily. The housekeeper is not worried about her daughter at all. But for the black doctor who is going to marry the young lady who is watching him grow up, he is hostile everywhere. The contradiction between black and white is still greater than the difference in class, although class is also very important-otherwise white families would not be so easy to accept Doctor P. The housekeeper looked at Dr. P’s back and said that the Civil Rights Act is one thing, but the acceptance and integration of feelings is another-poetry recitation, right?
In my opinion, this film is not so much a manifestation of the civil rights and equality movement, as it is a subversion of the core values of the movement-ultimately saving the black and white pair is not a "black and white equality". It's love. With tears in her eyes, the doctor's mother said to the white parents-a famous human rights fighter who had been fighting for the equality of black and white for 30 years but insisted on opposing this marriage-what happened to the men? When they get old, they forget what love is? You can only see what you see in front of you, money, status, skin color, you have forgotten the feeling of being in love with a girl at that time? What kind of monsters do men become when they get old? Can't you see how the young couple love each other? How do they need each other? Her mother and I knew all of this as long as they looked at each other when they were together, and knew that we would stand behind this pair of young people and support them. But what about you guys?
In the end, it was love that touched him. He said, I have never forgotten what love is all about. Although the feeling may disappear, the memory is still there. He overturned all the reasons he tried to persuade himself. Whatever black and white are equal, what black can be outstanding, what this doctor is an absolute elite, what this doctor's noble sentiment and the plan to open a school for cultivating medical knowledge, all this is his Overturned one by one. The only thing he can't overthrow is his love for his daughter, and his love for the doctor. Although this love seems extremely unreliable, the little girl may be excited for a while, seeing a long-necked camel on the side of the road is really cute. Want to buy it back-he really can't hurt his daughter.
By extension, if it were not for his own daughter, he would have every reason to overthrow the idea of black and white equality that he had adhered to all his life, as long as he contributed to the society, he was worthy of respect—these core values were all overturned—is this? Can it be said that it is a film that promotes the movement of black and white equality? Frankly speaking, there are some commercial films that please the audience, and the last-second rescue model is also a bit old-fashioned-it is not the era of the train robbery. But I still think it is a good idea to use the first 30 minutes of the film as a teaching film to teach students about racial discrimination and affirmative action...
