"Your mind is a prisoner...your skin is white, but your mind is a slave." The pale-skinned African-American Coleman (Wentworth Miller in his youth; Anthony Hopkins in middle age), racially Tormented by his inferiority complex, he was forced to sever family ties, and disguised himself as a Jew to live a life of prestige and dignity. However, the irony is that such a person who was tortured so badly by black blood ended up being accused of racism and ruined for saying a racially polysemous word... Is this a joke of God? You desperately want to break free from the shackles of fate, weave an identity full of lies for yourself, and deceive yourself into thinking that fate has changed, but you can't escape the cycle of fate... Some things cannot be avoided, only positive acceptance can overcome of hope. In fact, Coleman can stop these trumped-up racist allegations immediately, as long as he discloses the truth. Even so, he didn't disclose this secret. He couldn't do it. He was used to living in the lie he built. Breaking the lie was more terrible than losing everything he had now. He once again avoided the chance to face his fate. After that, the heroine Nicole Kidman, the vulgar but coquettish woman in the red-faced and white-haired romance, also had a history of heartache, blood and tears. She took the ashes of the dead child and wept bitterly, and then poured out sadly to the big crow in the cage, "It has been with people like us all its life, a big crow who doesn't know how to be a big crow..." This is actually Is it Nicole's psychic monologue? Is it actually a reference to society? The general trend, just cowardly escape, and accept it obediently... This scarred woman, like Coleman, was imprisoned in her own sad values, unable to fight back, and escaped painfully all her life.
Coleman was finally given justice after his death, saying at their memorial service that "he and his wife were betrayed by a harsh community and their ignorant morals of which I was a member. , everyone is..." Coleman's sister finally said the theme of the film. "I think today's world is really upside down. People are getting stupider and more self-righteous. You know what the biggest sadness is... Some people will repeat the mistakes of Coleman and build their lives on lies.
" "The Stain of Humanity", the 2011 racial new film "The Help" is much brighter. The black servants who depend on others exude all kinds of distinct and real personality charms, the innocent and happy Minny, the humble and calm Aiblion... their common strength and optimism. Even living in an era and area where racism is most prevalent, they never face life as victims. Compared with those white people who are self-righteous like jumping beams, they know how to observe and think better, and meet their fate calmly and restrained. With the help of Skeeter, they told what they had seen and heard, and finally the publication of "Help" brought decades of racial issues to the attention of the government... "Help" tells us that there is no general trend, no power, The greatest power comes from the awakening of consciousness.
