In the movie, Idgie allows blacks to dine in the shop, refusing to abide by an underlying rule that discriminates against blacks: They don't deserve to eat in the same space as us (whites). Then a group of people wearing masks ran to make trouble, beating people, smashing windows, intimidating, and having a wicked orgy in an anonymous group. Their actions are not allowed by the morals and laws of the express, they know it, so they form an anonymous carnival group, which seems to have power and power. When I see this, I seem to see the present. Because of a joke about "men are ordinary but confident", because it was pointed out that men smoke in public spaces and play rogues, the same group of them flocked to hide themselves in an anonymous group, doing evil carnivals, but they looked like they were The appearance of the Defender of Order, the disgusting face. Hope they got smashed in the head too and boiled into soup (this sentence is crossed out). No, women don't shut up, they don't stay in the position you pointed out, resign and stay silent. No, that era is over. Just take it, garbage.
In the discussion after watching the film, it was pointed out that the film many times showed the disparity in size and strength between Idgie and the white males she confronted, but Idgie was always brave, never flinched, and rushed to fight. Every time I see such a scene, on the one hand, I feel the disadvantage of fighting brought about by the difference in body size, and on the other hand, I feel how brave she is and why she is not afraid.
At the same time, the movie also shows the retreat of the big George several times. He's physically stronger, he's been cast as Idgie's guardian to a certain extent, and people in the film often use him as a threat of force, "Hey, you don't make big George beat you.". But you can clearly see that he will not do anything, his body and expression are full of hesitation and withdrawal. Racial discrimination and judicial injustice caused him to dare not fight back after being beaten, let alone attack white people. So in the end, they kill frank, dispose of the body, and get out of the crime. It is a dual resistance of gender and race, a homomorphic revenge against a typical dual oppressor, a perpetrator (and wrapped in the context of a legitimate defense to defend a baby) middle).
——Actually, that’s why I don’t like this movie so much, it’s too neat, it’s too perfect, it’s too symbolic.
- But I love Evelyn and her floral dress, she looks so good in it! So I went to see another movie "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" starring her - obviously I chose the wrong movie,... (She plays a pervert in it, the character is very gloomy, does not smile, has dark hair, and colored clothes Dark and sloppy. Noisy. gif)
