I met you when I was the most disappointed, and your back guided me to follow you uncontrollably.

I watched this film for Miller and Nicole Kidman, but I liked it after watching it. To a large extent, I watched it as a romance film. I liked stories like this, an old man and The love of a 34-year-old beautiful woman. Of course, I was also moved and resented by the racism in it.

Let's talk about Miller first. After watching "Prison Break", I really like him. Not only does he have a beautiful and charming appearance there, but also his wisdom makes me very fond of him. The charm there is irresistible. , it was only yesterday that I found out that he basically played supporting roles, and in this film, too, he played the role of the male protagonist Corman when he was young. He is a black man, but with white skin, he is familiar as soon as he appears. Smile, but the image is still not as good as Mike's, with short hair, unfortunately not clean enough, but also three to seven, I am very disappointed, and the face is also lacking in wisdom. Feeling a little rusty.

He came home with his first girlfriend, who became unnatural when she saw her mother's dark skin. On the journey back, "I love you, but I can't." He left him crying, and his mood fell to the bottom. , Just because of this hateful complexion, the happiness that should have been lost.

With his pale complexion, he resolutely filled in white in the race column, and told his second girlfriend that his parents were gone and that he had no siblings. In his conversation with his mother, the mother said, "You should be proud of your race." Maybe he tried, but in his own experience, he also realized the discrimination against black people in the society at that time, and had to abandon his own people. species, to reshape oneself. The mother said, "So, you don't have us anymore, will you have children, will you not let me see children, my grandson? But will you risk having children? If your children don't have children like You are so lucky to have such a pure white complexion, so would you testify against your wife for adultery with a black man? I never thought about whether you were black or white, you are gold, my golden child. Son, you are like snow White, but thinks like a black slave." Hearing this sentence, I shed tears, I can't imagine what racism looked like at that time, if there was no racism at that time, then he would also be proud of his race , will also have a happy family, but he has to bear such a lie all his life to hide his race, and there is no freedom.

After that, he became a famous professor at Athena University, with a family and respect. However, a "ghost" word in a class turned out to be a turning point in his fate. He was accused of racial discrimination. If he told the truth, he would definitely be here. The charges brought jokes, but he didn't tell the truth about his life. His wife's death made him lose everything overnight.

At this time, he met another important woman in his life, 34-year-old Fonia, and they fell in love.

Fonia is played by Nicole Kidman. She has recently preferred this actress. However, in this film, she has medium brown curly hair, wears a red suspender, a red shoulder strap that shows on her left shoulder when she walks, and a faint tattoo on her arm. She is skilled. The action of cigarettes, any one of them makes my heart like it.

She is white, but has low self-esteem and is full of shame about the past and present. Her memories are full of pain. She was raped by her stepfather when she was young, her ex-husband was mentally ill, and her child died unfortunately.

Nicole Kidman's first appearance, smoking a cigarette, is more coquettish than any of her films I've seen before, the second time he met her, he drove her to her place, and when he got out of the car She said to him, "Would you like to go in and sit?" He refused, but looking at the back of her walking into the house, her left shoulder exposed, such a charming back, when he was the most frustrated, he still followed her in, Seeing her lying naked on the bed, two lonely hearts are naturally intertwined. "It's not that I don't want to keep you, but you have to leave. I don't want to wake up in the morning and find someone with me, so it's not that I don't want to keep you."

Then he started to find her again, the two lonely people each Huai secretly finds solace in each other, fills the inner loneliness with passion and heals the wound.

He told his story about her and his friends, and invited her to meet him. However, during the meeting, she left, she was afraid that her past would be known, and that others would argue with her about what she could not bear. Painful memories, and he simply says "Because he's my friend, that's it."

The beginning of the film foreshadows their outcome, and they die in a car accident. At the end of the film, it was also because of this car accident that his friend's attention was drawn, and he decided to write down his life and named it "The Stain of Human Nature".

I really like Nicole Kidman's performance here. I appreciate every move, especially the dance, with the music, it's very beautiful.


When I was the most frustrated, with your coquettish back, I couldn't restrain myself, so I followed you into the hut, I knew you needed me at the same time, we each got what we needed, but we loved each other until we died moment.
