Helplessness

When the little nun asked the principal "have you proved it?" the principal said "to whom" the little nun said "someone other than you" I thought of this, some people are tightly bound by religious laws and morals, even their own Conscience can't escape, their world has only rules and no humanity, but there seems to be nothing wrong. But they got nothing but guilt.

It does not discuss right and wrong, but reflects the helplessness of various positions and many social problems. A black mother thinks that as long as someone treats her son nicely, it's good to get through a good high school. At first glance, it seems irrelevant, but it can be understood in that era. Aunt Mei is too insistent on principle, but her heart is also good. The ending is also ironic. Finally, I want to say that the actors' acting skills are great.
