After reading the book review "On the "Phenomena of Negative Intertextuality" in "Purple"", I became very interested in the original work. I feel that the original work is a very typical feminist perspective + anti-racism. The teacher said that the movie was good, and I was watched by Amway. I really like the adaptation directed by Spielberg. When I read the paper, I felt that women are really sad in such an extremely patriarchal society. Therefore, I admire the heroine Celie, and Sag, for being able to "wake up", "stand up", and understand "what is my name". But after watching the film, I not only felt that the father, Mr. X (Albert) and other men were hateful, but also felt sad. Distorted and unequal relationship cognition, the result is not damage to any kind of gender, any class, or any race, but everyone does not understand what love is. The patriarchal system in a patriarchal society will not only obliterate the dignity and existence of women, but also obliterate the dignity and existence of men. Because the fathers of powerful powers used to be sons who were obedient. Sons and fathers never know how to hug directly. Husbands and wives never understand how to express love normally. They only use violence to express anger and show their status. They are cruel and cowardly, hateful and pitiful. I have also read "Green Book" and "Unreachable" before, and I feel that although these emotional narratives that write cross-class, cross-racial, and cross-sexuality are beautiful, they still feel "not enough." The writing of "brothers" between men is moving, but the woman in the movie still seems to be a "tool man" like the other-responsible for making a male protagonist fall in love, lose love, lose happiness, or find happiness. The female image itself has no fixed position of its own, and her existence seems to be designed to increase the love element in the movie.
But on the contrary, "Purple", whether male or female, is very three-dimensional and full. Regardless of gender, race, and status, there are good and bad, and there are some who know how to love, and some do not know how to love. After watching the movie, it won’t make me think which ones are males, which ones are females, which ones are black, which ones are white... This kind of abstract labeling classification, on the contrary, I just put any one People are treated as an individual, and from all the individuals inside, think about how true love should be expressed.
That is, instead of labeling "equal rights" as "American-style political correctness", Spielberg's great thing is that he treats each individual as himself, and gives him the right to be himself. I think this may also be the end of the real affirmative movement. Let each of us be free and happy to be ourselves, with the pride of "I", to love another individual healthily and equally.
