Belle evaluation action
2022-06-03 13:17
Although "Belle" does not directly show the scenes of white slave owners' violence against black slaves, the spiritual and psychological damage presented by racial discrimination is obvious
.
"Belle" uses an elegant and simple style to describe a true story deeply influenced by British slavery in the 18th century. Just like a romantic aesthetic legend written by Jane Austen, the film shows the gorgeous British fashion feast and the luxurious parties of the upper class at that time. There are good cultivation and elegant words here, but behind it is a woman's firm determination and courage to maintain social justice. She strives to change the legislation and abolish the slave trade at that time
