They got it all wrong.

Five stars for books and two stars for movies. There is no sense of substituting the times at all, and it was filmed from a modern Hollywood perspective, not from Jackson and Mississippi in the raging sixties. It does not show how much risk they took in doing this, and how scared they were in their hearts. That is what happened in a worldview that takes racial discrimination as self-evident common sense and unquestionable laws of nature. How can it be taken so lightly? Although I admit that the book is more free and the plot is indeed quite a lot, but Two and a half hours has been very tolerant of a movie, but even the story is not clear. It does not describe the deep relationship between Skeeter and Constantine, nor does it describe Skeeter's desperate pursuit of Constantine's whereabouts. In the end, Charlotte Phelan turned out to be a positive character, and also changed the story of Constantine's dismissal beyond recognition. in the book, She ain't sorry for firing Constantine at all, what else to drive to Chicago to pick him up. . . In that era, even if she was sorry, she couldn't do such a thing, okay? The lines are trying their best to fit the original, but the ideology is not in line with the original, and everything is in vain. Those who are interested in civil right can use this movie as a negative teaching material for discourse. Don’t read it if you’re not interested, don’t be fooled by the score.

    Not only the rise of race, but also the rise of feminism, emma's role is full of strong feminist flavor. Many characters in the film are vivid and vivid, and the story of minny and celia is very warm. What kind of love-hate feelings the black maid takes care of one white baby after another. I like emma stone more and more.

    Two whites and two blacks are completely different lives. People are born unequal. This is an absolute proposition. The outstanding characters are Minnie and Celie. After all, I like people who live frankly and truthfully. The long shot at the end is great.
