      "Black Pearl"'s Counterattack Life

      The eternal swan song of African Americans, the legendary life of the former first lady.

      Netflix launched this film at a sensitive moment before the US presidential election. Through the words of Michelle Obama, it aims to bridge ethnic differences and unite the hearts of the people in China . Perhaps it also implies the intention to let Trump step down as soon as possible....

      From an ordinary girl to riding the wind and waves, when the 56-year-old she spoke, I took it

      The United States was turbulent. Among the many angry condemnations, a woman made a rational and concerned voice.

      She is the former first lady of the United States, an "ordinary girl" from a slum, Michelle Obama.

      On June 9th, she delivered a speech at YouTube, reminding young people not to confront each other because of sadness and frustration, but to remain open and hopeful.

      Be a positive and lovely ordinary person

      No matter what works I look at, I am used to contacting myself.

      When I mentioned Michelle, what impressed me the most was her speech on advocating education, which was inspired and inspired.

      The last time I was deeply impressed was her sentence, when they go low, we go high . This sentence can be distilled into a lot of information, but as ordinary people, we should treat it...

      The old routine of the US president

      After the president of the United States retires, the basic routine is to make speeches, go around, publish books and other methods to absorb money, and then constantly brush up on the sense of existence, then slowly pass away, and then slowly settle, Clinton, Jr. Bush and Obama are like this.

      In this documentary, apart from letting us see the difficulties of Obama and the presidential campaign in your youth, the rest is nothing but books, book sales,...

      Become: Michelle Obama's autobiography, the equally good Mrs. Obama

      Is there any chance to understand the daily life of Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States, read her autobiography "Becoming", or watch this documentary. I have started to fan the first lady. She speaks humorously and is full of wisdom. Even though she is in the center of American politics, she is still strong in her heart and elegant in her demeanor....

      It's just a collection of bits and pieces, so it's hard to get a three-dimensional impression of Michelle Obama's overall character. What impresses me more is the anger towards AA. There are too many unspoken rules and backdoors in this world, what is unfair about AA. Rules are made by humans and can be moved...

      I really didn't know that Michelle turned out to be Barack's mentor. She came from an ordinary family and graduated from Yale University. This woman is not simple. The Obamas have indeed done some useful things for the American people, but unfortunately they were overthrown by Chuan Jianguo, a tragedy for the United States....

      It's not easy to make a film like this. Then there is chicken soup but it's real okay? There is a real need for more leaders to come forward to bring peace and hope. Also, the fact that Frank Ocean's song appeared twice is really...

    Movie quotes

    • Michelle Obama: Your story with highs and lows, what seems so ordinary and seems like nothing to you, is your power.

    • Michelle Obama: Get back on what track? It's a whole new track. It's not goin' back. You know it's all different, and it's different forever. So it's not getting back on track but its creating my next track... I'm doing what you're doing. I'm figuring out, "What do I want to do? What do I care about?" And it takes time to process your life and figure out what it all means. So little of who I am happened in those eight years. So much more of who I was happened before."

      [regarding a student's question about having her career/life interrupted by her husband becoming president]

    • Michelle Obama: We focus too much on "stats" and not "story." Stats are like, "What college are you from?" But your story is like, "What was your grandfather like?" "Who was your favorite relative and why?"

      High School Student Shayla Allen: What advice would you give to someone who's trying to avoid becoming just a "stat"? Like when you go to college, you're not just the kid with the 3.0 GPA or when you're applying for jobs, you're not just that person who graduated at the top of her class. How do you avoid becoming just a number?

      Michelle Obama: I think what makes you more than a stat is once you see yourself - you see yourself as more than a stat and you start thinking about, who are you? What do you care about? What brings you joy? I hope my story urges you to see the power of your story. And to own that.
