Before watching this movie, I have heard about abortion, domestic violence, AIDS, rape... but only for listening. This movie took me into a world that I was so unfamiliar with. It let me know that there are a group of women living like this on the other side of the world. The most successful part of a movie is not only the hard acting of the actors, but the tight and unexpected storyline, the right soundtrack and narration, but also makes the audience feel touched by something after watching it, and can’t speak for a long time. . And "Half the Sky in a Rainbow" is indeed a movie that makes you feel a lot after watching it.
This movie is composed of the stories of seven women of color, all of whom are colored girls living in the United States, silently bearing the test of life for them. They come from different roles in society. There are promiscuity bar girls, successful career women, artistic girls who love dancing, and promising female students... But they all have one thing in common. They are a group of scarred women, some even thought of suicide, but in the end they snuggled together and survived with a tough will.
So far when I mentioned this movie, I still heard my voice clearly-"No!" When Crystal's alcoholic "husband" used two innocent children to threaten her to officially marry him, I suddenly felt like this The idea, the screenwriter, you are fine, and you must keep the child of Crystal. However, Crystal still couldn't stop him, he still threw the two children alive from the fifth floor. In fact, it stands to reason that Crystal should have left her “husband” who has been unemployed and drunk a long time ago. The reason why she has not registered her marriage with him is that Crystal himself understands that he can’t live his life with this man who drinks and beats himself and his children. However, she still couldn't let go of the man she had loved since she was a teenager, dreaming that one day he would not go drunk, and dreaming that if that day comes, she will marry him. Therefore, what makes Crystal worse than death is that she is so aware that she is responsible for the death of her child. To a certain extent, I think women must have their own bottom line, beyond this bottom line, no matter how reluctant to give up, they still have to give up. Life will be brighter after giving up.
I don’t know if the people who write movies and TV shows like to break the best things in front of you. Yasmine is a woman who loves dancing very much. You can smell the smell of sunflowers in her. She is full of dancing in her heart and body; selfless, she pays her own money to open a dance school and pays students to dance for free; she has an elegant, graceful figure and elegant taste. But such a woman who is afraid of breaking in the palm of her hand, and a woman who has the most innocent thoughts about love, just wants to cook a dinner at home for her new boyfriend who has dated once, but he brings her something that can never be healed. Burn marks. After being raped, Yasmine strongly appealed to the police for help. The monologue she gave to the police shocked me, "Lock the door behind you, and we are left with the scars. Being betrayed by men who know us, and expect like the stranger we always thought was coming that we will submit..." Later, Yasmine still danced, but there was more resentment and strength in her dance.
Nyla ended up having an abortion under the hands of the drunk "female doctor" in that dirty little room that had not been disinfected. The strong woman Joanna was infected with AIDS by her gay husband. A lot of haze is weighing on them, but they still believe that there is a sun not far away.
Rainbow lives in the hearts of every woman and supports them through those difficult years. We don't know what will happen in the next second, we only know that life is still going on, and we can go through all the hardships while we are alive.

  • Crystal: There's a part of me that knows it happened, but most of me feels like I'm dreaming. Am I awake? This must be what death feels like.

  • Gilda: Sleeping with all these men, thinking it's just sex. It ain't just sex, honey. It all has a root. And you got to find that root to pluck it. He placed the rose behind your ear, now cry yourself to sleep. I used to be you.
