two long, dull hours

Before watching "Purple", the only impression was that the teacher in class said that it was a movie about black women, and I didn't have the habit of reading the introduction before watching the movie. The first hour was a bit torturous, so that I kept waiting to surprise me later, but Not until the end of the movie. If it is the theme of racial discrimination and black protests, it can only be said that from my viewing experience, it is neither prominent nor profound, but rather dull. If it's a feminist theme, I'm only impressed by the role of Oprah, who said to Celie "I've been fighting all my life, with my father, my uncle, and so on, and today you told my husband to beat me", which made me realize The reason why feminism is sometimes misunderstood and divided is that some women's consciousness is not awakened, which leads to the so-called "cannibalism" from a bystander perspective. Oprah's line with white wives seems to be talking about discrimination against people of color? The group play portrays the characters very well. After watching it, I remember a lot of images of life. The quarrel in which Celie left her husband was very exciting, revealing all the hidden contradictions in the first two hours, but... not shocking enough, maybe today I enjoy too many women's rights that seemed extravagant at that time, so I basically have nothing to do with it. touch.

btw, I thought of a point that can explain why the whole story can't impress me, because I can't empathize with the feelings of Celie and my sister and my own children, there are too few, too little, too little, so even though the director gave a century of great consummation In the end, I still have a cold face, because the emotional depiction of sisters in the opening chapter is too little and too shallow, and there are only two or three places for young childbirth, so the important clues "letter" and the African line are confusing to me! Unreasonable and unreasonable!

It is an epic film of two and a half hours, and it is from a famous teacher. I dare not say that it is bad, let’s say it is bland. Maybe the shock of "The Years of Love" is more "killing" me. It is also possible that my background made me unable to empathize with the theme of racism. Feminism in China was a bit "easy" in the past, so I couldn't empathize more with the awakening of women's consciousness. Maybe someday in the future there will be new insights.
