I believe that in most movies, we can see the story behind the film that the director wants to present as long as we pay attention to it. As I have seen, this film alludes to some social issues.
When Mary first arrived in EAST LA, she showed her extreme aversion to this area and the Mexican immigrants who lived here. Wasn't she a Mexican born in the United States? She is ashamed to admit her Mexican ancestry, she is just an American with Mexican blood. Just like our current discrimination against outsiders by urban people (though not all), what is the difference between discrimination? If they were born in the countryside, they might not even have a chance to come out. The outsiders also become cringe under the eyes of the city people and under their own thoughts. They have low self-esteem, and they have no sense of belonging. In fact, this is not only the case of outsiders, is it also the case of city people? Spend a few yuan to buy a big-brand paper bag, save half a year's salary to buy a bag of tens of thousands of yuan, and then squeeze the bus every day. I remember reading in a book that in an international student class, a Chinese student was asked: "Are you proud of being a Chinese?" Answered: "Proud"; then asked "Why?" "Because China is an ancient civilization with a history of several thousand years, China has four great inventions, and China has aircraft carriers... The same question was asked by a Filipino (seemingly), but he also answered proudly, but the reason Just because he is a Filipino. Why do we always need something external to prove our existence and bring us a sense of belonging? A "halo" of a city person, a brand-name bag can really bring Other people's approval, other people's "look up"? I don't know when we can admit that we are proud just because we are Chinese, just like Mary admits from the heart that she is a Mexican at the end of the article.
Driven by her ten-year plan, Nora has been working hard and struggling. I think this is exactly what attracted Edward. And what Mary got was only deception, although in the end she also reaped her love. If a woman wants to marry a rich man, she must first make herself rich. As Pan Yue mentioned in Zhou Yi’s preface in his wife Zhou Yi’s book, Zhou Yi said many times, “I don’t want you to give me anything, because I can get anything tangible with my own efforts. There is only one thing you don’t give me. If it is not, it is love. I am very happy if I give love and nothing; without love, nothing can make me happy. "
I wish you all a happy watching!
