I went to the movies today and encountered the dilemma that I couldn't wait for the bus and couldn't get a taxi. Coughing in the air of AQI 382, regretting why I bought this movie ticket a few days ago when I was full. Fortunately, it did not disappoint me.
At the end of the film, Angelina Jolie, a feminist symbol, came out as the producer of the film to encourage more girls to face life bravely. There are many children in the cinema. I don’t know how much they understand. I think feminism is the core of this film. Values, these little girls may not know how to find a job in the future. Compared with your education and ability, they will be more concerned about whether they have male votes, whether they are married or not, and whether they have children.
When I watched this movie, I felt a bit like an ordinary American, who was ignorant of the world other than the United States, and only cared about the trivial things in life in front of me. Before that, I thought I was very concerned about the world. Actually I don't know anything about this place in Afghanistan. It's just a piecemeal knowledge of the Afghan war, and that this land is still being devastated by war.
It turns out that in Afghanistan, under the Muslim culture, women are not allowed to go out without the company of a male guardian. I never thought of such a social environment. The little girl's brother was killed by a Soviet bomb. The only males in the family are a father who lost a leg in the war and a younger brother who is still in swaddling. Dad was framed and captured by the Taliban. The three women and a baby in the family had to die at home. The mother was going to prison to save the father, who was injured by the religious police because he was not accompanied by a male on the street. My sister couldn't go out because she was an adult, so she could only go out to fetch water every day. There was no food at home, the little lady went out to buy food, but no store dared to sell it to her, because there was no male escort. In the end, she could only cut her long hair short, put on her brother's clothes, and went out disguised as a man. The contrast is stark, just cut her hair short and wear boys' clothes, nothing else has changed, she is still the same her, but the treatment of dressing up as a boy is different. The shopkeeper not only sold him food, but also joked with him. Many people stopped beating her eyebrows at her and rushed her home immediately. She started working to support her family with the help of her friends who also disguised as men. In the end, he rescued his dying father from prison with his wisdom and friendship. At that time, I remembered "The two rabbits walk next to the ground, An Neng can tell if I am male or female?" in "Poems of Mulan" This is the Afghan version of "Mulan".
Girls can't go out, how can they go to school? If you can't touch the outside world, what's the point of living? Do you live to marry and have boys when you grow up? What about the born boy? They may be caught fighting and their bones are indistinguishable, they may be bombed to death before they grow up, they may become religious policemen to beat women, or they may join the Taliban and fight against the government. The dream of the little heroine's little friend is to see the sea. Growing up by the sea, I have always regarded watching the sea as a matter of course. The heroine's father is a teacher, and she can read and read, tell stories, and help people read letters. What about other girls in such an environment in the depths? I can't even imagine. This is comparable to our 10-year catastrophe. It makes me feel cold.
Women are still a disadvantaged group in the world as a whole, but many people are so numb they don't know that they are disadvantaged and despised. I used to get angry sometimes and think these people really deserve it, I'm talking about Indian female colleagues who are bullied by Indian male colleagues. Thinking about it now, I haven't experienced it in their environment, and I don't really understand these things very well. The social status of women in China is much better than those in other countries. I can only hope that they will bravely take the first step to fight for more rights that belong to them.
Finally, I hope that the world will be peaceful and the world will get better and better, even if it's just a little bit.
