Is not accepting a form of discrimination?

Emery 2022-04-15 09:01:07

It's been a long time since I've seen an Oscar-nominated film that's so lighthearted and enjoyable that doesn't require too many brain cells to mobilize.

In addition to the courage and optimism we can draw from the story setting that is no longer unfamiliar or even cliché, what nerves can we be touched?

Deaf-mute people, as a not too tragic group of the disabled, rarely appear in our daily life. In fact, the chances of any kind of disabled people appearing in the work or life fields of people in big cities in China are not high, and even broken feet are rarely seen, and it is even more difficult to imagine that they will become your colleagues and friends. So, where have they all gone and how are they living?

We are always willing to express sympathy and regret for the disabled or the sick, especially in today's Internet age, no matter whether our feelings become more abundant than before, at least the channels for expression are more readily available. After all, expressing conscience or lighting a candle is not enough Hard work. But how exactly do they need to be treated, and what extra help do they need to live the life they want them to live? Almost no decent person would say that he discriminates against a blind person or a dumb person, but where is the boundary of this "non-discrimination"? Would you accept a disabled person as your boyfriend and girlfriend to marry alive? Would you hire someone who doesn't interfere with normal work but is sick or disabled or LGBTQ or HIV-infected?

Maybe most people will label their own people as: tolerance, fraternity, non-discrimination and no hatred, but where will the thinking in reality go?

Suppose, a HIV virus carrier, he will have the same love and sexual needs as ordinary people, right? no doubt. However, is he still qualified and qualified for ordinary love and sex? If he told his crush about his situation bluntly, would they accept it? So what's preventing the other party from agreeing? is a virus. However, there are many ways to acquire the virus, and the situation in which you are infected is also very different. If a person's origin and gender cannot define who he is, if a person's character and behavior cannot be easily judged as good Evil, and even attitudes toward sex say nothing, so the condition of infection has such a decisive role? What if he's a noble, kind, good, responsible, good-looking person who's just infectious at the same time?

Don't think it's just about the sick people, let them solve their own problems by themselves, this is actually closely related to everyone. Suppose he assumed he would be treated differently if he confessed the situation, would they be more likely to say it or not? If you are rejected and frightened once, will you say it or not the next time. In any case, this is an additional hidden danger for both parties, and that kind of dilemma is not a good choice, is it?

At least, we should have looked at them from both sides.

And this, at least. This also needs to understand the truth from the left side, and then refine the specific behavior methods and guidelines from the right side.

    La Famille Bélier American version

  • Tod 2022-04-18 09:01:20

    The top ten candidates of the year, the Sundance Feature Film Jury Award, selects the deaf-mute, a marginalized group of society, to build a typical American family story of youth chasing dreams, and the listening heroine acts as a bridge for the entire family to communicate with the outside world , it turns out that the ugly country's suppression of fisheries is about to catch up with the EU. The relationship between the characters is different from the devil master and apprentice in "Booming Drummer", but a good teacher and friend like "Cow Herding Class". The director can make such a slightly cliché story simple and moving. The father puts his hand on his daughter's vocal cords to "listen" to the music, and he can achieve a high-level sense of "silence is better than sound at this time" without the need for deliberate emotional rendering. , the concept of sound design for the deaf can also make the audience feel the same. It is said that the biggest difficulty encountered when making this film was buying the rights to "Starman".
