I just wrote a large article, and when I was approaching 10,000 words, I suddenly didn't know where to click. This page jumped to the homepage of "Blind Spot". . . My work was done in vain. The key is 10,000 words. How can I write the same as just now, God, you really have an enemy with me! ? I'm really going crazy!
I did it all over again. It was a compensation and explanation to myself. She was so surprised and sorrowed to death. In the end, she was not addicted to finding a solution on the Internet. After no results, I want to stop living the mentality of the fathers and villagers. God can understand. ? ? ? ?
So I have to rewrite it! ! !
But the lost inspiration can only be gone, I will replay it myself!
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This time,

my old lady went to the word to write that I was very fluent in thinking, precise in terms of words and everything, and the logic was very clear. Now that I am fine, I feel like squeezing toothpaste. . . Who can believe me, to speak. . . .

The two films "Purple" and "Blind Spot" are both of which I recently watched on an appointment in the movie channel Best Films. What's interesting about the two films is that they are all about black American subjects, regardless of whether it is a coincidence or something. Speaking of black Americans, what will come to your mind? Is it the tall and strong image that must appear in every blockbuster in American Hollywood movies, or the rap music on pop music shows or awards shows, or NBA basketball games and Olympic track and field Those athletes who run the fastest, jump the highest, and have the strongest performance in the field? If you go deeper, you will definitely think of Martin Luther King, the leader of the black civil rights movement in the 1950s, I have a dream.
What a deeply-rooted concept American blacks are, just like American fast food, there can be a broad consensus and a high-resolution cultural brand anywhere in the world. Under the rich name of American culture, the annotated cultural symbol of African Americans is bound to be found. This culture is not a simple, elegant and transparent glass ball. It is a complex, thick, and a little muddy, a fruit-like existence that needs to be peeled off layer by layer, just like the thick elasticity of black people on the screen. Her lips are curled up sexy, but they are full of wind and sun marks, and some vicissitudes of life have a charming temperament.
Black Americans have created such a charming black American culture, which comes from the profound and profound history of black Americans. Looking at this period of history, the early content up to the first half of the last century is full of humiliation and blood and tears, not the least bit sexy at all. For ordinary non-historical researchers like us, in fact, the ugliness of black American history was not so strange to the Chinese, and there is no sense of disobedience. We can always explore it from various media. . Including movies, we can find its general form from many literary and artistic works.
Among them, "Purple" deserves to be a leader in the restoration of the truth in black American history. "Purple" mainly takes the growth experience and self-awakening of a black American woman as the perspective. Through a profound portrayal of the conflicts between blacks and themselves, blacks and blacks, and blacks and whites, it exposes that black women in the background suffered internally and externally. The cruel social reality of double bullying (Damn! I changed it back to me!!! I can’t write it now... Damn it’s so broken! It’s past 12 o’clock).
"Purple" focuses on the living conditions of black women living at the bottom of society. There is no doubt that in the social background at that time, blacks are already a tragic class of enslaved body and mind under the white racial discrimination system, while black women are tragedy. In the tragedy, women are the spokespersons of the weak, and black women are the weak among the weak. They are bullied by society, return to their family life, and continue to be bullied by men. No self-esteem, loss of independent personality, lack of basic love and warmth.
There is no doubt that the ability of the director Spielberg is unquestionable. The whole movie is filled with the sad and angry atmosphere brought by purple. In the original novel, the black women who the author finds another way to struggle with their own cowardly nature and fight against the opposite sex of the same compatriot are in the director. The pen is perfectly displayed, leaving an indelible impression on the audience.
And what surprised me the most was the small but shocking narrative about the conflicts between blacks and whites in the film. Another important role in the film is the independent and aggressive black girl Sophia who dares to love and hate. She is a representative of a heterogeneous type of black women in the entire group of black women at that time. She is not like the other important role in the film, Xia Ge, who is defeated by weakness. Strong, realize self-worth by conquering men, but directly and bravely face the world, contend with it, and shout out one's own no.
Sophia's values ​​believe that people should directly fight for the rights they deserve. This is a universal truth at the moment, but at the time it was a completely advanced concept that transcended historical reality. A heart that pursues freedom can only be realized when it has the soil that allows it to grow normally. Beyond the contemporaries, it will inevitably be heterogeneous due to the limitations of the times, and encounter serious setbacks and even disillusions.
Unfortunately, Sophia’s frontal resistance suffered a sudden and severe blow. In the film, when the camera was aimed at the lights, the conflict between Sophia and the white residents caused by the white mayor’s wife was finally 8 years in prison and returned to freedom. When she was full of vitality and now her face was insensitive, my heart shrank severely. Sadness is greater than death. When a person loses the hope of life and the spiritual origin of his heart is destroyed, he is just a shell. To make matters worse, after being released from prison, Sophia was still imprisoned by the mayor’s wife and became a poor black maid who taught the crazy woman to drive. The mouth that used to be brave and loudly said no is now numb and the answer is Mrs.'s mouth, and the glasses that were once confident and stubborn are now unglamorous glasses.
The conflict between blacks and whites in "Purple" ended with the frustration of Sophia's ideals and finally numb surrender. Sophia’s self-awakening came from within, it was a conscious behavior, but at the time there was no like-minded female companion, and there was no person who correctly guided her on how to contend, so in the end Sophia lost everything in front of the cruel reality. It even becomes self-doubt and self-denial, and loses the basic understanding of the correctness of the pursuit of freedom. Thus, he was completely disillusioned in the struggle with society. From the broad perspective of sociology, the thought of transcendental age is ruthlessly destroyed from the reality that is limited by the age and cannot be accepted and correctly understood. I named it "Bruno's Burning".

Next, let’s take a look at "Blind Spot". This movie is an adaptation of real life. The real person is currently a shining star on the professional football field in the United States. He is also a black man, but a very athletic black boy. I will use the name Michael from the movie for this boy. This work tells the story of how a black boy met a white woman, then entered the white family, was loved and educated as his own son, and eventually became a sports superstar.
It is not an inspirational film about the growth of blacks, but a warm family ethics film of love and trust between whites and blacks. The background of this movie is the current era of highly developed information in which the wave of globalization is sweeping every corner of the world. As Dickens described in the opening chapter of A Tale of Two Cities, this is the best time and the worst time. Highly developed information technology has brought about a global resource sharing environment, and globalization has brought an unprecedented inclusive ecological culture. The whole world is singing the tune of minzhu freedom, and the United States is the most active and fullest country in promoting human rights. Black Americans are no longer the dead ends of American social life that were severely abandoned in the past. Instead, they can participate in global competition and participate in social life to the greatest extent. On the Oscar's podium, black people even stood on the highest position in the United States-the presidential seat, overlooking the tens of thousands of white people underneath and leading them to receive God's blessing.
But is it true that the blacks have achieved absolute equality and freedom? In "Blind Spot", Michael was born in the blind spot of the black American slum, and he is not alone. In the United States, situations like this belong to the majority. Most black Americans are born poor, have broken families, low morals, and hover at the bottom of society. A social survey shows that most of the creators of the high crime rate in the United States are black Americans. .
When Mrs. Tao Xi discovered this black boy who only wore a T-shirt on a winter night and reached out to a member of the blind spot of this society and positive his destiny, did she create a new blind spot again? . A choice made by Mrs. Tao Xi changed the fate of at least two people at the same time. She actively changed this behavior of Michael's life, breaking the original status quo and rebuilding. Full of playfulness in the postmodern context. If you imagine Mrs. Tao Xi broke this situation when Michael was a little hooligan, how would it end up? The possibility of this modern urban fairy tale will definitely be very low.
But in other words, Michael has all the spirit that his white mother Mrs. Tao Xi appreciates and agrees with. He is restrained and shy, has an independent personality, knows how to be grateful, stubborn and kind, and has a strong sense of protecting his family. That's why this is possible.
What I want to say is that the interdependence between black sons and white mothers in "Blind Spot" relies on the common role of both parties. One side is the non-discriminatory love and trust of white people for black people. Asking about the origin of the American spirit of selfless care and love for people who need to be protected regardless of the color of the skin, and the American spirit of taking it as a duty, this is more clearly presented in "Little Sunshine"; the other side is the quality of the blacks themselves, from the entire black Americans Historically, in the darkest times, the roles played by blacks were enslaved and ignorant. Just imagine if it continues like this, can black Americans create the currently amazing black American culture? In the struggle and struggle, black Americans retained and inherited the outstanding qualities of their private capital, and they continued to absorb and merge with American culture, creating relatively independent qualities of their own.
Michael's story was later copied by Sandra, who played Mrs. Tao Xi behind the screen. She adopted a black child by herself and decided to raise it independently. I think this at least shows the great social significance of the success of "Blind Spot". It has brought about the attention of white Americans to black Americans, so that black children like Michael have more opportunities to participate in American social and cultural life more confidently.
Back to "Purple", back to Sophia, how good she would be in this era, I not only want to sigh, how long and anxious it was for people at the time, and no one could predict the end. the result of. Thinking of the last time when the black civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s was still in full swing, we were still secretly saddened by the despair of black people. In a blink of an eye, Martin Luther King’s dream has been realized to a large extent after more than half a century of hard work. The status of black Americans has changed drastically.
From "Purple" to "Blind Spot", it is the end of one era and the beginning of another.
