Raw and simple feelings touch my nerves

Purple, which is red wrapped in blue, is also blue wrapped in red, and it goes well with the blues jazz in the film.
In fact, I don't think the black women in the film are so brilliant, and I even think they are stupid, but when they are older, they are a little more enlightened. The black men in the film are equally ignorant. These black people are probably what people look like before they receive an acquired education. Most of their words and deeds are based on instinct, a primitive impulse, with directness without thinking, and emotions. This kind of unrefined feeling is not very beautiful at first glance, but it is the easiest to touch people's hearts, because everyone can't get rid of the primitive in the deepest heart.
Ugly hero and heroine, a group of black people with little education, a little humor, a little sadness, Steven Spielberg moved me silently again.

    As someone has said, every Spielberg film is worth watching, and this one, shot back in 1985, is no exception.

    The focus is not on race but on women, and this kind of female self-awareness and struggle is also valid for other races. The most touching thing is that the middle heroine was enlightened by the goddess and finally realized that she was beautiful (although obviously not very beautiful), and then the two of them pulled together, but the ending was not very impressed. The rhythm dragged for a while and jumped too much. Lao Si's consistent love for hypocrisy is also reflected.
