24 After reading "The Whimsical World of a Little Photographer", also known as "Born in a Brothel". Born in a Brothel is a documentary film directed by Ross Kaufman, Zena Brisque and starring Aggie and others. It was released in the United States on January 17, 2004. The film tells the story of a group of children who live in the red light district of Kolkata and learn graphic photography under the leadership of a journalist. When I saw someone recommending this documentary on the Internet, I downloaded it and watched it. The eight children, five girls, and three boys in the film are all children of prostitutes. The environment around them is sex, crime, and drugs. The boys are a little better. of. It can be seen that although they live in such an environment, they still have expectations for life and want to live a better life. They were so interested and curious about Aunt Zena and her camera. They faced this cruel world prematurely. It hurts to say the words. "They asked me when can I pick up the guest?" "They said it was fast." "My dad doesn't want me, my mom is crazy, my dad wants to sell me to pick up the guest, if my sister didn't save me, I wouldn't be here. "It is impossible to survive, let alone study." Thinking of myself, it is really much better to have such an environment and family. Everyone's fate in the world is different, and the environment is also different. All you can do is do what you can and cherish everything in front of you. I admire Zena, she came to the red light district alone and did many, many things to save these eight children. As she said, "I'm not a social worker, I'm just a photographer." She tried her best to find a school for these eight children, and at least do something for these eight children. Seeing that in the documentary, after Zena was busy, she was great. At the end, the final ending of the eight children was not very good. I felt that the record was just a record. This period of time was like a dream time for them. Later, I couldn't help but search for the follow-up of the eight children, only to find that this documentary won the 77th Academy Awards in 2005, which made the eight children known to the world, and Zena immediately seized this opportunity to let the Children are able to be taken in by institutions in the United States. Almost all the children's parents agreed that when they went to school in the United States, the baby's mother begged her to come back to take care of her, and promised to let her go to high school, and eventually the baby was on the plane home. Although the baby went to high school, he was excluded and eventually dropped out. Because of his mother's gambling addiction, he owes a huge debt. In desperation, I finally took the path of my mother, even because of my body. With the identity of the "Oscar heroine", she became the first sign of a brothel, and she was able to buy a car and a villa. Zena did a lot of things for her because she was not a prostitute, but in the end she failed to do it voluntarily. Because other children are studying in the United States, even if some children are not rich, at least they do not need to sell their bodies. Among them, Aji was admitted to the art college and became a photographer. There is a girl who is also studying acting in college. . I saw someone on the Internet say, "Sure enough, the most important thing in life is not ability, but choice. I believe it." I didn't expect that, in my opinion, choice is only a point, the important thing is that the impact of the environment is really too great. big. Other children, although they may not work hard, the environment they live in subtly affects them, at least no matter how bad their life is, they will no longer choose to sell their bodies and commit crimes to make money. After the baby came back, she also wanted to study hard and went to high school, but was rejected by her classmates, thinking she was a prostitute. My mother is addicted to gambling and owes so much money to the underworld. How can she make money and pay it back quickly? The environment around her has already told her to sell herself. And because she won the "Oscar", her worth is different, and she can earn more. Later, Zena tried every way to help her, but she was numb and was no longer that little girl. She's already done it, and it's hard to go back. Her mind was numb, and she didn't think that she could do other things to support herself. Maybe the underworld had long regarded her as a cash cow and would not let her go. It's really sad. I thought that all eight children could live well. At least not forced to do those things. But with such a small number of eight children, with such great help, there is still one child who has gone the old way. The difficulty of improving such a large environment can be imagined. This documentary allows us to see a different side of the world. When we have fun and leisure, some people are in pain. It's not that we can't even have fun because someone is suffering. But while we are having fun, we should also tell ourselves that we should cherish our own life and be responsible for ourselves.
