Beautiful Sing Girl, happened to be BLACK

Whitney Houston is a singer and movie star whom I liked since junior high school. I got to know her from the CCTV6 movie channel's best film: "Bodyguard".

Her name is often wrong, Whitney, it is easy to write it accidentally, Whiteny; the name of the hero is also, Kevin Costner. Since the movie was too touched and unforgettable for a long time, the little sisters in the class were very helpful. When the movie was replayed every other week, they waited till the end of the film to help me copy down the actor's name. Thinking about it now, I'm still full of warmth. Costner, you should add more r to the vowel, or become Costener.

Yes, it will still struggle with the rules of vowel and consonant word formation.

At that time, it was 1999.

Whitney passed away in 2012 and was shocked; but the job was bumpy, just shocked. It was not until the long holiday caused by the Wuhan epidemic that I took a good look at her biopic.

It is mentioned in the film that Whitney also suffered a defamation incident. The black audience did not like the change in her musical style and called her "White Girl", Whitey. It turns out that my mistake of writing her name back then was really a historical event. I was surprised and resonated.

Whitney is full of talent in music.

The deep-rooted Soul&Gospel tradition, coupled with her talented voice, and her mother's road to tour, so that she just opened her mouth, and everyone was overwhelmed by it. So that she sang the American national anthem "Star Spangled banner" and moved the audience. People called her a great American artist. There was even a very incisive comment: "If you choose the right church and listen to the right choir, even if you are a Jew, Will praise Christ."

Kevin Costner very intuitively commented that Whitney is of great significance to the black community and even the black world. When she sang in the movie and ran from the landing gear of an airplane like a white girl, "we" had forgotten the skin color!

The "us" here first refers to the American people.

She is the "chosen girl".

Other parts of the world, such as me and my parents at the time, were they just indulging in her voice, or marveling at her wanton agitation, being too deep in the drama, or the fusion of people and drama?

We are too busy to pay attention to her follow-up; I am continuing various exams and starting a journey of war. In fact, after the great success of the movie [Bodyguard] in 1994, Whitney truly began the second half of his life journey.

She continues to maintain her innocence and dedication, full of creativity and ideas for work and art. She does not have to worry about material things because she is definitely an example of getting twice the result with half the effort. She has 100% trust and care for her relatives and friends. Compromise, after all, she will always need to have a sweet home.

I used to like watching "Bodyguard" so much, so envious of the wonderful experience in it; but now I see that there are "discrimination" hidden everywhere in the movie. Black actresses are not respected, although they are glamorous, but they are disdainful behind them. The Whitney biopic included several interviews, the host's enviable but sarcasm tone, the superficial concern about the gossip expression, and so on. These things really have to be seen when they grow up.

I am very grateful for the inconvenience of the Internet and the busy life of my own life, and I did not personally experience these awkward fragments of Whitney's life. But when I grow up looking at these, seeing fairy tales shattered and faded is actually another kind of heartache.

I think the saddest thing is that when you really grow up to be independent and have the power to survive, looking back at the once colorful fairy tales, they are actually a little bit mottled.

Whitney is so bittersweet, as she sings in her song, bittersweet, after the second half of her life, with her daughter.

It's like a firework.

But she participated in establishing our foreign language world and art appreciation. I don’t know how my little friend is now in the United States.

Whitney quotes

  • [first lines]

    Whitney Houston: There were times when I would look up to God and I'd go, "Why is this happening to me?" And then these dreams... I'd have these dreams about being on a bridge and the bridge going back and forth and swaying. There's a big storm coming... I'm always running from this giant. I'm always running from this big man. I know I can make it. I know I can make it. I know I can make it. My mother always says, "Oh, you know, that's nothin' but the devil; he's just trying to get you. He just wants your soul." And in a sense it's true. There's been several times the devil has tried to get me. But he never gets me. And it's funny, when I wake up I'm always exhausted, from running.

  • Gary Houston: We had a good, tight-knit family, but there were always a lot of secrets in our lives. When you don't resolve things, when you don't deal with things, they never go away. They never go away.
