How can a person be treated as a thing.
What makes me more puzzling is that no one dares to stand up and stop all this.
I like the girl on the plantation in the film. She also longs for freedom, but she is treated badly because of the jealousy of the hostess. There is no intact place in her body, including her heart - she thinks of death.
Is this still the innocent girl sitting on the grass with a scarecrow?
From her, I saw a kind of perseverance, the look in her eyes that looked to the other side when she was molested by her master, and the expressionless and indifferent when she was raped, which was a kind of silent resistance.
In those days, it was really a very powerless feeling. If you dared to rebel against the whole world, then you really had to die.
Solomon should have persisted for so long with the idea of "staying in the green hills, not afraid of running out of firewood". He watched helplessly as his hopes were shattered again and again, and watched his friends be cruelly abused by his master. Perhaps it was because of him. Having experienced the fear of facing death, he would make this choiceless multiple-choice question and stay in the plantation honestly.
What is precious, however, is that even though Rebel was so terrifying, he was still willing to try, and in the end he was really rescued.
After reading it, I was not too moved, but I had never experienced all of this, and I could not understand the pain and despair in it.
