Hail Mary
Saul 2022-08-07 16:10:21
Maybe you sometimes imagine it like this, imagine a desperate situation of survival, no parents, no family, or even no reliable friends, alone, empty-handed, walking on the streets like a whirlpool, waiting to be sucked in or crushed. In fact, I often do this. Isn’t the tragedy exciting? Isn't it the normal state of the mind to be free? At the end of the film, the black girl Maria did not return to the black Columbia, she stayed in the black America. Maria, the drug-smuggling girl, the dead Lucy, the fat friend who argued and argued. Movies that are so real that there are no miracles, the fragile hearts of the third world, the United States, the United States. Maria listening to the heartbeat of the fetus, the Virgin Mary, we call your name. Call your black eyes.
