Today, let's talk about the movie "Baby Babies".
The title of the film is Mignonnes / Cuties (2020), also known as the Little Cutie Dance Company.
This is a very uncomfortable film.
This is the maiden feature film of the black director and screenwriter Maimuna Doucoure. The film combines Maimuna Doucoure's personal growth experience and incorporates thinking about the impact of the current Internet on society, but the director's lack of personal ability directly The film was a disaster.
The protagonist of the film is a little black girl named Amy, who is only 11 years old. Her family is a Muslim believer, her father is busy marrying a second wife, she lives with her mother and aunt, several people crammed into one house, and the family is not a happy family.
Amy is desperate to join a small group at school. One day, she saw Angelica, her neighbor and classmate in the same apartment, dancing frantically, and she had the idea to dance with Angelica.
After continuous hard work, Amy joined Angelica's dancing team as she wished.
The name that this little dance team gave itself was the title of the film "Mignonnes / Cuties", the "Little Cuties" girl group.
During her days in the dance girl group, Amy kept trying to imitate the behavior of adults, adding many things she saw on the Internet to her dances, which she did not understand.
The sexually suggestive dance moves and the young age of 11 gradually caused controversy, and Amy gradually discovered problems in the dance process and began to choose her own value orientation.
It's clear that director Maimouna Ducure made this film with good intentions.
The film criticizes the negative effects of the Internet on mentally immature teenagers.
The Internet is full of all kinds of soft porn and strong consumerist mix-and-match sexual hints, the purpose is to let the audience accept brainwashing in the least mind-boggling way and willingly pay for it. Many adults are incapable of discernment, and even less so for 11-year-olds.
Men and women on the Internet are scratching their heads and making poses, and the children have learned the same way, no matter the good or the bad, they have learned all of them.
Amy and the others are only 11 years old, how can they understand what is sexually suggestive and soft pornography, they don't even know the difference between men and women. After entering puberty, they only know rebellion and express their individuality. They saw that these celebrities and celebrities on the Internet were all dancing this kind of dance. The number of people who liked it was very large, and the comment area was so excited that they also added these movements to their dance, leaving only the audience in the audience dumbfounded.
The director chose to reflect the above-mentioned social problems through the film, and also added personal growth experience in the film, but the director's performance ability is really insufficient, so he chose to objectify women to oppose this status quo.
On the big screen, a group of minors imitated adult actors, scratching their heads and making poses, and dancing twerk.
The stills selected in the article are already relatively unscrupulous shots, and the actual shots of the film are even more unsightly. I really don't know what purpose these little actors are participating in. Is it for art devotion?
At the end of the film, Amy suddenly realizes that her behavior is wrong and chooses to reconcile with her mother.
The film attempts to use this transition to the end. This turning point came so suddenly that Amy didn't realize her mistake after a series of extreme actions, let alone eliminate the impact. The characters are confused, and so is the director.
The same is true for the movie itself, it just shows that minors are eroded by soft porn on the Internet, and neither the source nor the solution is given. The lack of supervision on the Internet, the absence of native family guardians, and the ineffective guidance of school education. There is a lot of content that can be expressed, but the film just stares at the body of minors and takes a slap.
The director's level is insufficient, and Netflix wants to attract attention, so it chose a still photo of a little girl dancing twerk as a poster. Sure enough, there were bursts of protests, and the audience protested and demanded that the film be taken off the shelves. Amid the protests, Netflix chose to apologize and replaced the controversial poster, but did not remove the film and continued to release it as usual.
The starting point of the film is to remind the audience to pay attention to these issues, but as a result, no one buys it, then the film is a failure.
Anti-war movies can show the bloody cruelty of war through stumps and broken arms. Anti-pornography movies don’t need to be made into soft porn movies, let alone make a group of underage girls scratch their heads. Making "The Babies" will only be counterproductive. Freedom of speech and artistic expression are not excuses for making inferior works. I don't know what kind of people like this film. Anyway, I think "The Babies" caused me a lot of discomfort.
It's not necessary to behave like a duck,
The objectification of the young girl Sun is crazy.
