The blemishes of human nature are but appearances

With a very special racial theme, the stain of human nature is just an appearance, and what the story ultimately wants to reveal is the hypocrisy of a politically correct view of race.

Michael Jackson's plastic surgery to the point of facial paralysis could not change his race. Who would have thought that Coleman, a professor of classical literature, was born with the right to choose. Eight generations of his ancestors were all black and African black, but he had a genetic mutation. He was born light-skinned, and everyone who saw him said he was Jewish.

His first love was a tragedy. When his white girlfriend went home with him to meet his parents, it was like seeing a dinosaur when he met online, and Saya ran away. When it came to his second girlfriend, he made up his mind, lied that both his parents were dead, and did not dare to have children. This deception is a lifetime, until his wife dies without knowing the truth.

After that, he relied on the medicinal power of Viagra to fall in love with a Caucasian woman several decades younger than him. With the in-depth understanding, the woman's unbearable life experience surfaced, but Coman still loved her and finally revealed his own life stains. soothe her.

Corman's life-long lie was discovered by his writer friend with his unexpected death, shocked that Corman was reluctant to tell the truth to defend himself even in the face of racist allegations, but finally became honest in a twilight love. Once, be yourself.

A perfect life does not exist like a perfect human nature. The two broken bodies can be glued together. At first, they rely on disguise. Over time, they can only exchange blemishes and make each other feel at ease. Although the story involves the discussion of human nature, it has in fact been covered by the racial ceiling, ending with the premise of racial choice, and is not universal. This is unique, and at the same time regrettable.

Still good.

    I really don't know what to say after watching it. . . Perhaps this kind of film that examines human nature is not to my taste. . .

    Covering up the truth of one's own race, living in endless lies, miserable. The story involves too many subjects, racial status, long-term love, cowardice and lies. Repeatedly mentioning the background of the Clinton scandal in which the incident took place did not bring a good mapping to the plot, but rather messed up the content. "She wasn't my first love, and she wasn't my favorite, but she was definitely my last."
