Let’s talk about the movie first, it’s not because the starring role is not good, julianne moore is already working hard, but compared to the character prototype, she is really not man enough, the most successful police officer she has ever played is “Hannibal”, capable without losing Feminine, but the limit of her man is probably only starling in "Hannibal". When it comes to starling, I can't help but think of jodie foster. In fact, would it be more suitable for jodie to play this role? After all, she has already come out of the closet and has successfully created the characters in "Silent Lambs" and "Brave People", and her temperament is more heroic than Julianne Moore. But what I want to complain the most is ellen page, is the director blind? The combination of ellen page and julianne moore is completely a mother-daughter relationship, especially when ellen is lying in julianne's arms, it is like a mother coaxing her daughter to sleep, dancing every minute. I checked, ellen is the same age as me, julianne is two years older than my mother, well, then I thought the real prototype might be this kind of love, but after watching the documentary, I found that it is not, although the real stacie is obviously more Laura is much younger, but there is no sense of incongruity between the two of them. It is not as unmatched as the two in the movie.
If it is not based on true story, I am afraid that this movie is not enough. After watching the documentary, I can only say that the director is objective. Genuinely, without being humble or arrogant, it restores the real events. The film itself is really not too tear-jerking, but the documentary still made me cry. It's not important. What matters is that the last words of the film and the documentary make me worry.
The film and documentary concludes by saying, "Laura and stacie's efforts prompted the New Jersey Legislature to amend the domestic partnership law to guarantee the right to compensation for domestic partners of all public officials in New Jersey. It was issued in New Jersey in 2013, the seventh year after Laura's death. Same-sex marriage registration certificate. On July 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a related decree on marriage equality for U.S. citizens. Stacie still lives in their home.” This reminds me of an article I saw in a circle of friends before. , Worth Reading:
Three Children Who Changed American History
- America's Missing Children Intervention System
On May 25, 1979, 6-year-old Etan Patz was about to go out alone for the first time. Confident, the little New York boy told his parents to cross two blocks on his own to get on the school bus. After getting permission, Aitan set off with a schoolbag and a hat printed with "Future Flight Captain". But this was the last time the parents and their children met. On this short trip to school, Aitan disappeared.
Countless reporters and police flocked to the frowning parents to see them spelling "Etan...ay-tahn" over and over again like Mrs. Xianglin. Subsequently, a large number of media reports affected the nerves of the whole country. The grinning photo taken by the photographer's father for Aitan was featured on the tracing poster covering the whole city, and was printed on the side of the milk carton Enter thousands of homes, and even board billboards in Times Square in New York.
But Aitan never came back. For a whole generation of Americans, that childish smile in a baseball cap was so heart-wrenching. It has been found that behind Aitan’s disappearance, it reflects the loopholes in the lack of close contact between the school and parents, and also exposes the ineffectiveness of the police. will react.
Although the sages did not build an infallible institutional system for American society, they left behind a more valuable self-renewal model that can be referred to as "crisis-reflection-progress". In 1983, President Reagan declared May 25, when Aitan disappeared, as "National Missing Children's Day". American society began to take the issue of missing children seriously, and started the "Milk Box Tracing Activity" for nearly 10 years. As the most well-known missing child in the United States, Aitan's unfortunate experience changed the United States forever, directly affecting the next series of laws and system updates, saving countless American children.
It was a sultry afternoon in Florida on July 27, 1981. 6-year-old Adam Walsh followed his mother's orders and watched several children play video games in a department store. But seven minutes later, when Adam's mother came to pick him up, the console was empty.
Anxious parents have printed 150,000 missing person notices and posted them all over the city. But bad news hit the family: two weeks later, fishermen recovered Adam's head from an irrigation canal 120 miles away. As a result, the distraught parents told the media how unreliable the police were: on the afternoon of the day Adam disappeared, his mother called the police, but the police not only failed to respond in time, but also told the media that "there should be no relationship between the disappearance and the kidnapping"; When Adam's father went to the police station to follow up on the progress the next day, the police replied, "Do you have any advice?
Although the killer who killed Adam surrendered two years later, the Adams decided to embark on the road of maintaining children's safety. At the hearing on the "Missing Children Act" held on Capitol Hill, Adam's father, who is not proficient in law and politics, moved everyone with a sentence: "A country that can launch a space shuttle and bring it back to Earth has no one Information collection and service centers for missing children? "
Subsequently, the Missing Children Assistance Act was passed with the participation of the Walsh and his wife. The bill called for the establishment of a nationwide free missing child alarm hotline, as well as the National Missing Children Information Aggregation and Screening Center. In the same year, the Walsh and his wife established The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a non-profit organization, has opened a critical door to solving the problem of missing children.
In the late 1980s, Walmart Supermarkets implemented a child safety alarm system and named the system "Code Adam" in honor of Adam. If parents find that their child is lost in the supermarket, they can immediately turn to this system. All entrances and exits of the supermarket will be closed, and the staff will immediately search. If the child is not found within 10 minutes, the police will immediately take over. Since then, this system has been adopted by many supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitals, museums and other public facilities in the United States.
Tragedy continued, however. On January 13, 1996, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was kidnapped while riding a bicycle. Her screams drew the attention of neighbors, but the abduction, which took place in broad daylight, still had the saddest ending: Four days later, her body was found.
Local residents demanded that local radio stations broadcast news about missing children with the same frequency and intensity, according to the weather forecast. Half a year later, at a press conference, someone involved recalled how the media helped a lot in their search for Amber. This information finally reached the ears of the police, so after a series of construction and upgrades, one connected to the US emergency alert system and released it to the whole country through various channels such as radio, television, email, traffic alerts, text messages, facebook, google and so on. A sprawling system of missing children information goes live. What the system, called "Amber," publishes is determined by police and typically includes missing child characteristics, suspect characteristics, and the suspect's vehicle description and license plate number.
If "Code Adam" solves the problem of children missing in public, "Amber System" completely puts missing children and suspects in the sea of people. Since 1996, the system has successfully retrieved or rescued 602 missing children. Taking 2011 as an example, 50% of the cases of successfully retrieving missing children through the Amber system were because the public or the police discovered the suspect’s vehicle through Amber alerts; 39% were because the public provided eyewitness clues after being alerted. and other key information; in 11% of the cases, the suspect released the kidnapped child after being alerted.
Three unfortunate missing children have completely changed the track of solving the problem of missing children in the United States. Their far-reaching impact can be seen from a set of figures: in 1990, only 62% of the missing children in the United States could be recovered, while Today, that proportion has become 97.7%. As Adam's father John Walsh, who later became the host of Fox's "Most Wanted," a show that helped police find 65 missing or kidnapped children, put it: "Remember, your involvement can change everything." .
The death of these three children is a sad sigh, but their death has brought the whole society to wake up and reflect, in exchange for the addition and improvement of the social system and related legal system, and their deaths have benefited thousands of American children in the future. Due to the "child intervention system", the fact that they died unfortunately cannot be changed, but isn't the best thing future generations can do is to take this as a warning, so that other children don't suffer from this misfortune again?
The same is true in this movie. I even think that the reason why American social civilization has always been ahead is because they can use these unequal things that happen to the common people to overthrow the "tradition" before the mass protests, marches, interventions, etc. The practice of promoting social progress with legislation as a guarantee, every time such a thing happens, social civilization will take a step forward.
And what about us? The disappearance of children in Changchun in 2013 also attracted the attention of the whole society, but it was only a hot event at the time. After a few days, there was no media mentioning it again, and everyone's attention shifted to other things, not to mention legislation. followed up. So this kind of thing happens once and it happens twice. As long as it does not rise to the level of the system and the law, it will happen one after another. About 200,000 children go missing every year in China. Is this astonishing number not enough to cause enough attention?
Going a little further, I saw a news the day before yesterday (news link http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4315871184), a young man surnamed Wei in Guangxi has been harming other children in the village since he was a child. When he was 13 years old, he killed a 4-year-old boy in the same village. Because he was under 14 years old, the relevant departments did not punish him. He was 14 years old. He stabbed a girl in the same village again, and then there were several other incidents of wounding and death without direct evidence, until the last time he was jailed for raping and killing another girl while working in Guangzhou. There are also news about a 10-year-old girl beating a 1-year-old baby boy in an elevator two years ago (news link http://baobao.sohu.com/20131205/n391293947.shtml ), and news such as Hangzhou teenagers building groups to abuse cats The list goes on and on, these teenagers under the age of 14 are not responsible for the serious consequences they have caused, but they have caused so much harm to society and serious threats to other minors at such a young age. Are our NPC members paying attention? Is it not enough to make people reflect on whether it is reasonable for teenagers under the age of 14 to be exempted from criminal responsibility by our law?
Speaking of the issues involved in this film, some developed countries have adopted laws to recognize and guarantee same-sex marriages enjoy the same rights as heterosexual marriages. The rights of gay people have made great progress compared with the previous society. Our country has such a huge population, so according to natural laws, the number of gay people in our country should also be the largest, that is to say, our country has the largest gay population in the world, because our population base is large, but for so many years Our economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, people's living standards are improving by leaps and bounds, what about gay human rights? Almost no one dared to speak up about this issue. I am relatively ignorant, and I am afraid that the most active one is Li Yinhe. Up to now, there is no law in my country that protects the rights of the vast number of gay people in our country. Homosexuals do not dare to stand up. They do not dare to stand up, because society cannot tolerate them, and they have no choice.
Despite this, I still firmly believe that the highest authorities of our country and the general public will eventually accept homosexuals, because they are not freaks, not extremists, they are our friends and even our family, and they know how to cherish love more than we do , more able to give love.
Every time I see a movie with this theme, I will reflect on the environment in which we live. Although most of us Chinese complain about our lives every day, we also love this land very much. We proudly say that we are descendants of China. We have The earliest civilization in the world, we hope that the spiritual civilization and economic construction of the motherland go hand in hand, fully respect everyone's rights, and become a truly harmonious society.
