Black slaves want freedom, African Americans want to stand up-"Harriet"
Let’s talk about the movie Harriet today.
The title Harriet / Freedom Fire (2019), also known as Freedom Fire.
This is an American biographical film about the history of the famous American abolitionist Harriet Tubman from slave to free.
Harriet Tubman (1822-1913) was a famous American abolitionist and one of the organizers of the "Underground Railroad". She led slaves to escape 138 times and was called "Black Moses" or "Moses' Grandmother." What caused her recent heated discussion was the front face printed with $20.
Actress Cynthia Eliver won the 92nd Academy Awards and the 77th Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress Nomination for her superb performance.
Harriet Tubman is the first African-American woman printed on banknotes in American history, and the first woman printed on US banknotes in 100 years. The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced on April 20, 2016 that the face of the new 20-dollar bill will be printed with the head of the famous American abolitionist Harriet Tubman, and the head of the former seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson. Was moved to the back.
Harriet Tubman's ability to be printed on a country's paper currency is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of American women's right to vote on the one hand, and to affirm her selfless deeds on the other. But the story of African-American women printing US dollars is not just that, there will be follow-up news.
On May 22, 2019, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin confirmed that the new US$20 bill will be postponed, and said that the postponement of the new US dollar bill is mainly due to anti-counterfeiting considerations. It is reported that the improved anti-counterfeiting technology will first be applied to the new US$10 and US$50 bills, which means that the US$20 bills with Tubman's image on the front will not enter the market until at least 2028.
The above paragraph is an official statement, but there is another news about the real situation. Wang Wang was sworn in as President of the United States on January 20, 2017 local time. As early as April 2016, Wang Wang was still in the campaign period. At that time, Wang Wang printed Harriet on the front of the new 20-dollar bill. Tubman expressed doubts, accusing this practice of "purely political correctness" and "Andrew Jackson has made a great contribution to the country. I think it would be very rude to remove him from the paper money." "I admit it. Liat Tubman is great, but I prefer to keep Andrew Jackson.” Wang also suggested that Tubman's image can be changed to other denominations, such as the two-dollar bill that is not widely circulated.
After the election of Wang Wang, the new 20-dollar bill could not be released. Do you think there is any connection behind these?
In fact, all these are calculations. Knowing Wang's ticket warehouse is the group of steadfast white rightists. He can only ensure that his ticket warehouse is stable if he raises the banner of populism, and his timely slogans are also to appease the ticket warehouse.
Let's talk about the movie itself. Harriet Tubman is called "Black Moses" or "Moses' Grandmother." Moses is taken from the myth of Moses separating the Red Sea. Harriet Tubman was like Moses leading the Jews to escape from Egypt. Black Moses led the black slaves to the north in search of freedom.
Descriptions of God and miracles appear in the film many times, and Harriet Tubman's own determination is greatly diluted by the miracles. When the level of popular education is not high, religious practices are very marketable and easy to be accepted by the general public. However, it would be a bit out of date to make it into a movie and still play like this.
Harriet Tubman was smashed in the head by a slave owner when he was young, and suddenly fainted. In fact, he was induced to have epilepsy when he was a child. Everyone knows that the timing of epilepsy is arbitrary, and both external stimuli and inner excitement can be induced. Harriet Tubman caused epilepsy many times in critical moments. These disease processes are described as God showing miracles, as if they were gifted with theocracy.
According to the description of the film, Harriet Tubman survived very well to the end, but did not show her wit and courage. In the end, the film was still keen on religious brainwashing.
Even though they seem to have a strong national power, they actually entered the feudal society from the slave society not long ago, and they criticized the outer skin of capitalism at most. In fact, they have no choice. The time for the founding of the country is very short, and there is no unified national culture. In the end, they can only choose to package feudal superstitions as beliefs and promote them.
The "Harriet" film itself was not disturbed. At the age of 29, Harriet Tubman faced the fate of being sold by a slave owner, so he resolutely chose to flee north. From then on, the film started. Harriet Tubman joined the American "Underground Railroad" by accident and became an "underground railroad attendant" who helped black slaves escape north.
After Harriet Tubman was free, he did not forget to help more black slaves, so he led the black slaves to flee north for 138 times, and all successfully completed the mission. The situation continued until the outbreak of the Civil War, and the film ended here. The follow-up Harriet Tubman's combat experience during the Civil War and the post-war life in poverty have been briefly touched. After all, the tragic life of Harriet Tubman after the war is not suitable for performance and does not conform to the glorious image of the lighthouse country...
