After watching this film that should be considered a warm comedy in the cold afternoon, Xiao Se was moved and cried for the last twenty minutes and almost fainted. The film tells the conflict between white society and black maids in the Mississippi area of ​​the United States in the 1960s. The characters are extremely rich and vivid, and the plot interpretation is quite wonderful. A maverick who wants to stick to his own path may only be able to prove himself by achievements. How much courage is needed to live in an era of conformity.

"You is kind, you is smart, you is important", the film keeps repeating what the black maid says about the little white girl she is looking after. People of faith may be stronger. According to God's will, we must not fail our conscience and shoulder our mission. At the beginning, the old black servant's warmth, encouragement and relief to the little girl also made me cry for a while, and I longed for this kind of embrace of unconditional acceptance when I was a teenager. Well, this movie really made me cry miserably.
