"Purple" and "The End of the Wild Flower"

"Purple" is Spielberg's work. I saw this movie in a forum recommendation post. At that time, the person who posted it used "suffering" to describe this movie, but I think it is more suitable for this movie. The word should be "Awakening". Because although the movie's protagonist Xili experienced being raped by her adoptive father and gave birth to two children; she was forced to be separated from her only sister who loved her; she was married to a strange man, doing farm work, taking care of the family, and having to bear her husband from time to time Violence. These sufferings made a woman with no culture, ordinary appearance or even ugly face to suffer in order to survive, but in the end, Xili finally awakened, knowing that her rights can only be obtained by herself, and she must bravely resist the vicious instigation. Because of her suffering, she rebelled against her husband, left her so-called home, and finally found her happiness and freedom. This kind of "awakening" is shocking and inspiring. People may habitually accept some hardships to a certain extent, and only think of resistance when it is unbearable, but often at this time or without the courage to resist. , Or there is no chance of success in the resistance.

It is also worth mentioning that the other women in the film are also very distinctive and admire: Sofia, who was brave enough to fight, was once imprisoned by whites and was persecuted, but also was once depressed and fought against herself. She doubted whether it was meaningful, but finally under the influence of Xili, she regained herself and became a kind, brave and self-respecting woman again. There is also the female singer Xia Ge, whom Xili's husband has always admired. She is also a bright woman in life.

"The End of the Wild Flower" wanted to see her because of Brad Pitt, but after watching it, I realized that Pete was just a passenger on the journey of the two heroines in the film. Because of an accident, two ordinary and even weak women finally became strong and free women. Although the last two drove off the cliff, they got rid of those indifferent and indifferent at that moment. People who have gotten rid of the depression and sadness in life in order to please others, they are truly free, like a dazzling butterfly that has broken a cocoon.

The reason why these two films are written together is because they have something in common. As a woman, we should respect, love, and strengthen ourselves. I think this is what the two films told me.
