Finally came The World Unseen and I Can't Think Straight. The two films, released one year ago, were written and directed by the same writer Shamim Sarif, who wrote and directed, and starred by the same pair of seductive beauties (Lisa Ray & Sheetal Sheth), and they talked about the same theme (finding your place, finding yourself, finding your voice), gathered from the same minority (immigrants of Indian origin), but with a completely different flavor.

"The World Unseen" is set in South Africa, where apartheid was implemented in the 1950s, while "I Can't Think Straight" chose the modern and fashionable metropolis of London. One scene is the open and magnificent African grassland, and the other is the background. It is the elegance and wealth of the British city; it is an old-fashioned story of women and girls who meet, attract and then fall in love. The former film is like an old song slowly flowing from a gramophone, and the latter is a relaxed and cheerful pop music in an iPod. Really, the former is better than the latter in terms of thickness and tension, but since they are twin sisters, they will taste better when compared together.

After reading it, I happened to hear "Woman Flower" on the radio, and couldn't help but smile.

I have one kind of flower in my heart
budding Italian faint
Zhao Zhao evening twilight and I long to wait for
people to fall asleep determined

woman flowers swaying in the mortal world
women spend with the wind gently swinging
only hope for a pair of gentle hands
can touch me The loneliness in

my heart I have a flower, a flower is full of fragrance on the branches,
who will come to sincerely look for the fragrance, the
flowers will not bloom for a long time, they
can be folded, the

women are like flowers and flowers, like a dream,
I have a flower that grows in my heart,
true love, true love, no one understands
Weeds everywhere have filled the hillside

narcissistic most painful
if you smelt fragrant flowers
do not ask me for whom the flowers are red
Informed loved heavy drunk known alcohol concentration

Huakaihuaxie end is empty
fate does not stay like spring has come Walking a
woman is like a flower and a dream

Different from ICTS's briskness and enthusiasm, this one is more about forbearance and restraint. I like Miriam's eyes and micro-expressions when she peeks at Amina, like "all the wild summer was in her gaze" she wrote to Amina and the sentence The moving "Every time I look at you, I wish you to stay...forever", in fact, in that special era and region at that time, this ending was already the biggest happy ending, thanks to the director~ ps: I like Amina And Miriam's name, you have me, I have you

The plot is good, racial discrimination, inequality between men and women, family crisis, and love of lace are all reflected in the play and are not messy. It's just that the director's skill is still shallow and lacks skills, the pictures are monotonous, the editing is abrupt, and the supporting roles are not good enough. A good book was wasted. This film could have been better.
