I often have a habit of being bored while riding the subway. I like to secretly glance at what the people around me are doing. Some of them are watching the latest variety shows, some are playing the most popular games, and some are chasing the latest TV series. And novels, some students and working parties who are preparing for the exam are looking at the textbooks and teaching materials for the exam. Except for children without mobile phones, sleeping parties, music parties, and sales parties in the entire carriage, they are basically bow-headed people.
If I hadn't watched McKee's "Story", I would not have carefully tasted this film. Without a strong rhythm, meme, or gimmick, my impetuous heart would not adapt to the atmosphere of the film at all.
So I watched this film late at night, without fast-forwarding, from the beginning to the end. What touched me the most was the heroine. Recently, I have been thinking about what is unique about women to men. Men are tall and women are weak. Even on Douyin, men dance beautifully. In ancient times, men danced knives and guns, and women played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Anyway, there were different directions and standards. But now, men who are capable of women are more capable, and there are more masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Where is the direction of women in this era?
The heroine in the film, married at the age of 16, gave birth to a child at the age of 17, and lost her husband at the age of 18. She works and lives at a gas station in a village with her son alone. She believes in Jesus and is one of the lead singers of the choir in the church. She regularly brings her son with her. worship. She doesn't talk much, but she is sincere and assertive. Because of her, both her son and the male lead were baptized and converted to Christianity. What moved me the most was the part where the family of three drove home after the hostess's family was baptized and converted to Christianity. The smile on the hostess' face was gentle and firm, and it gave me an inexplicable blow. I saw the direction of the woman.
When I was very young, I often heard people around me and people on TV commenting on a woman as "losing money, vases, long hair and short knowledge...", "virtuous, gentle, beautiful, and smart". When I grow up, I will see evaluations of women as "kind and independent", "Yu Jie, silly Bai Tian, Bai Fumei", "Female Diaosi, Female Nerve, Female Man" in various online information... What a mess! ! !
A woman, first of all, a person. What a woman can never lose is the ability to love herself and others. She should be firm because of love, believe in love, and be great because of love.
