At first, it was a bit confusing, but as the plot progressed, I started to feel angry about what happened to Ceilie, and for her cowardice and obedience, until I finally understood the reason why Ceilie did not choose to leave. Under the oppression and bullying, she and her sister depended on each other and encouraged each other. The sister is the only person who loves her and the most important person to her. If she leaves, she may lose contact with her sister forever. In the past, I only learned some information about racial discrimination, low status of women, and disrespect through the mouths of teachers or articles, but this film made me thoroughly and deeply understand the injustice and inhuman treatment suffered by black women. (to be treated as animals by men). The character that impresses me the most is Sophia. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she was a confident, independent, and courageous woman. She doesn't follow all the rules and all the housework arranged by the man for her, and she doesn't obey her orders. But it was such a brave, strong, independent, and unyielding woman who was imprisoned for 7 years for refusing to be the white mayor's wife's maid and fighting with the mayor. In the past seven years, she has been tortured, and punching and kicking are more commonplace. After being released from prison, Sophia not only has gray hair, but also deformed eyes. Sophia, who escaped the prison, walked into another "prison" - she had to stay with the mayor's wife 24 hours a day, or became her maid. At this time, Sophia has completely lost the arrogance of the past, and her piercing eyes have become blurred, and she dare not look directly at others. He was so hurt that he couldn't speak aloud.
Sophia's experience made me understand that it was not that no one wanted to fight against the injustice of fate, but that the social background at the time made her have to give in.
