Women's rights in the West, like black people, have been fighting all the way. In our country, the status of women is relatively low in history, and there seems to be no history of resistance. Our women's rights have probably been granted by the constitution since the founding of New China. Although nominal, it is also important. In recent years, feminism in our country has been "clamored" on the Internet quite powerfully, and we are working hard to "implement" the real equality between men and women. In this film, the story takes place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when our country was still in turmoil, and the American countryside did not seem to be getting any better, especially blacks, where racial discrimination was serious. Celie was miserable because she suffered the most, although she later woke up and fought to leave. Xiuge has always been a typical representative of many women's envy and yearning. She is independent and open, like a star, but she also has her own worries, such as family affection. Sophia is my favorite woman. She has been fighting since the beginning, but in a rough way. She is also a woman who dares to love and hate. Her character cannot avoid suffering, eight years in prison and the mayor's wife. The maid is a disaster in her feminist struggle, but at the same time it makes her wiser, because fists can't solve the essential problem. Nai Ti, a woman whose fate has been changed by knowledge, is especially like those new young people and new women in modern China, who almost went down the path of her sister at the beginning. Fortunately, fortunately, she stayed. She is also relatively lucky, she met good people and went out to see the world. I don't want to make a comprehensive evaluation of this film, I can't do it that way, I just want to talk about my feelings based on my situation. I am also a woman who is in the process of postgraduate entrance examination. Due to the epidemic, I started to doubt my life at home and began to deny myself and the past. I needed to re-understand myself and the world. I was lost, anxious, and didn't know what to do or where to go. Purple, let me see that every woman has her own unique side, to be active, independent, fight, and earn respect for herself. At the beginning, I may have been a bit like Sophia. I used my fists to solve problems in everything I did. Sometimes, like Celie, I was content with the status quo and didn’t dare to fight. Now, I think I should do something actively, change my destiny, and use Wisdom, not "fist".
