    The multiple conflicting plots collide, and the director's skill is too worthy of recognition. The "original sin" of being black is indeed a silent indictment of race. In the end, the mother used her death to free her daughter from her identity and emotionally bound...

    Sek's three best films, Deep Lock, Bitter Rain, and Spring Breeze, I think they can form a trilogy. The colors gradually become simple, the social observation gradually deepens, and the quality is also higher and denser. Beach crowds are a microcosm of the diversity of recreation and recreation in postwar America, the accelerating pace of life, the rift between generations, and the conflict of races. ....

    It involves racial conflicts, educational concepts, parent-child relationships, and love concepts. Together, it is the whole life. The emotional handling is unexpectedly delicate and moving, although the final scene is not very well set, too formal, and a bit fake. In comparison, the first scene seems simple, but it is very natural. Recalling the entire movie, the gradually falling and piled gems in the entrance animation and the theme song "imitation of life" (lyrics) are all designed...

    Time is the real protagonist in Sec's masterpiece, and everyone ends up acting as doubles for that protagonist. Like real life, these people live in the paradox of "Life and Death" and the "dichotomy" of ultimate loneliness and inevitable communication with others. This necessary communion with man is, in a religious context, Jesus' love for man. What is the example that Jesus left behind? Love turns out to be a self-education. Mu Xin emphasized the word "original". It turned out that everyone...

    The mother drama, the juxtaposition of races, Laura and Sarah's "cannot be juxtaposed" effect, reflects the deep-rooted racial problem that one at least succeeds and the other is doomed to fail. The reconciliation of one pair is so swift and complete, the other can only Exchanging death for sex to resolve Sarah's rejection of her self-identity dooms all her struggles to be doomed to failure in a double sense, leaving me with a sad white mother and daughter whose lives are as false as their...

    Although the connection between the two mothers and daughters is a bit far-fetched, the self-identification of the mixed-race girl in the film, as well as the positive image of black women's generosity and warmth, is definitely more moving and forward-looking than any of Sack's love...

    One of the craziest movies I've ever seen. . . .

    What's wrong with not wanting to be black? Don't you have to be black to be called right? If it could change in reality, I guess I would become white. . . . At least in the US. . . .

    This is the same reason that poor children think their families are poor. In reality, which poor children do not...

    The breakdown of women, races, families.

    A family melodrama that emphasizes personal emotions, moral and ethical standards. One of the classic Hollywood genres produced for female audiences. During the transition period of American society in the 1950s, in the post-Paramount Act era, the producers began to consciously present the...
