The film describes the home life of black women in the United States before. The film mainly depicts two different female characters, one is sexy and confident and is favored by many men, and the other is often called by her husband and is disliked by others. After the intersection of these two seemingly completely different characters, the heroine ② encourages the heroine ① to discover and recognize her own beauty, to try her best to get out of the painful family environment at the time, and to encourage her to pursue what she wants. The film also has two main female characters, the heroine's sister, and the woman who beats a white man and is forced to jail when he hears that he wants to buy his child as a servant. What these four women have in common is that they worked hard to live out themselves, both at the beginning and at the end.
The film talks about the influence of the family environment, such as what happened to the heroine ① who was raped by his father and gave birth to two children of his own, and talked about the contact between men and women, such as the heroine ①② having sex with the same man , One feels that boys use themselves as a tool to vent their desires, and the other feels enjoyment. In short, because what a man really loves is a woman, so when there is love, the feeling will be very different. I thought that this play would mainly be about the girl and the girl's sister, but the girl's younger sister did not play a lot, and the plot about them mainly reflects the precious sisterhood and the never-give-up pursuit of a better life.
Daughter ① has come a long and hard journey, if she hadn't met her, without her encouragement, without her taking her out of the family's cage, she wouldn't have had a chance to break out of her original life, or even have a chance to finally see her own. son daughter. Thinking like this, the plot design of the movie is echoed at the end. At the beginning, the girl sees a child in the store that means her child. She keeps talking about it, but she resists it. Whether it is her child is not really important, it is important. The thing is that she really wants to find her own child, and at the end of the movie, she finally sees her own child, her sister, and she is also consummated. She waited for so many years, suffered so much and suffered so much that she even thought of killing her husband in the end, but in the end, she still got what she wanted.
There is one episode that impressed me more, that is, after the woman in prison came out, she was arranged to be the maid of the mayor's wife. In the store, the woman saw her and took the shopping list to help her put everything together. This detail is very touching, probably to let the woman in prison understand that someone still cares about her.
This film depicts the difficult life of black women in the early twentieth century from the perspective of father and daughter, husband and wife, sister and mother and daughter. If there is colorism and sexism in the environment, what kind of power can we use to break free from these constraints? This is probably an issue worth paying attention to.
