I wanted to watch "Lincoln". I watched it for 20 minutes. In the meantime, I pressed pause several times to return. In order to see clearly the notes on certain characters and time nodes in the subtitles, I kept my eyes circled and couldn’t tell what they were. What to talk about.

Everyone was dressed in gray clothes, with bitter expressions and deep hatred discussing some serious issues. Men don't look good, women don't look good, Lincoln's youngest son is fat, but not interesting. Lincoln occasionally said some jokes, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it is a cold joke.

Someone told me that this was a good movie, but I was really bored. The only happy thing is that my height from Baidu to Lincoln is 1.92 meters.

So I switched to another movie to watch. The poster was golden yellow. When opened, the bright southern sun and the hot summer breeze pounced on my face. The bright white dazzling people squinted and refreshed my spirits.

As a girl, I must like this movie. Retro style in the 1960s, carefree beautiful women, beautiful clothes, exquisite desserts, warm and tidy home, cute little dolls, tea parties, girlfriends, parties...pink and tender, honey-scented, A life as exquisite and pretentious as Barbie.

Against such a golden background, let me tell an old story, even if it is heavy, I can read it. How can it be unbearable? On one side, I wrinkled my brows and bitterly, on the other side, I put on my apron to endure optimism. I'm not saying which one is better, but I prefer the latter. This is probably the difference between male films and female films, and also the difference between men and women.

The Help, a pun, is also a maid and a helping hand. There is no need for war, life itself is constantly collapsing and rebuilding. When a woman learns to cook, organize housework, and take care of her children, it is not just an increase in skills, but an increasing maturity of her mind and motherhood.

The charming ladies of the South are thin and have nothing to do. No matter how big they are, they are like children who need someone to take care of them. The "child" has to give birth, and the "child" has to grow old, so in the movie, I saw a family of old and small women surrounded by a fat and black maid waiting to be fed.

And that fat black maid is the one who looks most like a mother.

At the beginning of the movie, it was said that children like fat people and like thick and fat legs. Probably the food that symbolizes warmth and abundance, children have this instinct to get close to motherhood people.

She is fat, big, and has a warm and generous body. She organizes the room warmly and comfortably. She cooks a table of hearty meals. She takes care of you, comforts you, and accompanies you. With her, she will lead a comfortable and happy life, with a sense of security and stability. And love.

As long as there is such a person, regardless of her skin color, whether she is a servant or not, she is both a wife and a mother, not to mention that she is patient, suffering, tolerant, and pious, as deep and generous as a mother of earth, and wants to make her Hug, she is home.

The white girl helped the black maids tell the story in their hearts, and the black maids helped each other through the difficulties. On the other hand, the black maids are also helping white girls to grow up, helping isolated young women to regain their confidence in life, so that they can turn from helpless girls to mature and independent women.

Who helps who more? Hard to say. The result of the help is to move forward, so we can see the maids become clearer and more persistent and brave, see them leave their mean masters and violent husbands, see the older white girls who hate to marry write a thick book, read When the glamorous and clumsy woman makes a table of dishes and smiles most kindly.

History is also advancing hand in hand. They may or may not have heard of Martin Luther King, but the sunny days in the south will eventually illuminate everyone's lives. This sounds a bit like a fairy tale, if we ignore the hundreds of years of struggle in the middle.

In fact, I still don't know much about political systems, wars, and revolutions, and those things are ashamed to me. I think that there is a division of labor to change the world, which is roughly a fuzzy division of labor. Men use paternity to change the world, rights, laws, violence, and declarations, such as through war, while women use maternity to change the world, family, education, food, Warmth and caring, when more and more older "girls" get rid of the imperfect personality of dependence and become tolerant, independent, brave and strong women, the world changes.

The gray and golden ones are the past, and watching movies is purely a personal preference. What we are, what the world is like, the world is hard and soft, it is muddy and golden, but there is a spiral trajectory that can be followed, silence and inquiry, cowardice With courage, oppression and resistance, collapse and reconstruction, from immature and green to maturity of the atmosphere, the star shifts, and the glory is several times.

No one does not participate in this vigorous trend. Not on the battlefield, but also in the kitchen. There is no pattern of swallowing mountains and rivers, you can always do it with one peck and one drink. Just like in the movie, the black mothers fight the vanity housewives with chocolate pie. There is always a way and a position, just like a fulcrum of the earth, what can we do to move ourselves and the world, make changes happen, and have enough Curious, see where you will go to the unknown.
