I don't really appreciate it

After reading the previous part, thinking about this documentary is enough for three stars, and now I just want to give two stars. I have long wanted to see this documentary and have seen most of the footage elsewhere. I know my voice really isn't very useful, but I just want to speak my mind. This documentary is so subjective! (Although this is a story told from a first perspective, subjectivity is unavoidable.) The documentary cuts out Taylor's typical "big star" who silently bears the heavy trust of a big star after overcoming difficulties and grievances from an innocent and brave little girl who pursues her dreams. Star Stories". She thinks she's great, she's brave, and indeed, she's tough. She feels that everything she gets is worthy of herself, but everything she bears is what she shouldn't bear. why? Because she "has been trying to be a good girl in people's minds".

Taylor, you're right, you've always followed the so-called ruler, to be a nice girl, to be nice to people, to pursue your dreams, and you know how to love. But for you like this, there is a "grabbing microphone incident", it doesn't matter, you are willing to be tolerant, so you have the song "innocent".

But somehow, the story between you and Kanye didn't end peacefully... So you left it to people to judge... You were angry, aggrieved and helpless, disappeared for a year, and came back with "reputation". Taylor, you should look at the look in your eyes when you recorded the line "Maybe I've been punished, but you can't escape", it's resentment, it's fierce. Taylor, you have always been right, you are really a girl who strives to pursue and shine, and when you encounter frame-up, injustice, malice and negation from others, your "blackening" is also right. You have to transform, you say "The old Taylor is dead", you face the enemy with a stronger self. But Taylor, are you really stronger when you carry out the so-called dark revenge with a grudge? Do you still remember the lyrics of your original "mean"? "I bet you got pushed around" "Somebody made you cold" "But the cycle ends right now", you used to express your disdain for them.

When you have a great success in your so-called career, when you have achieved your "goal" to a certain extent, and when you have gained the sympathy, support, and loyalty of a large group of people, you also become vulnerable, right? In fact, I think you are very "drama", the "drama" here does not actually contain so many derogatory meanings in their mouths. You fantasize about dramas, but hate dramas. From country princess to pop queen ("You belong with me" and "1989" are a bit of a transition from country to pop), then "kill the old Taylor" black and white to back to color ("reputation" to "Lover") , you seem to be changing all the time, but your "fundamental" remains the same, always the same you.

Fans are so excited to see you that they can't breathe, but they see you as too powerful. The fans make me feel that you are the optimist who supports their spirit, and I think it is true. You have influenced a lot of people without a doubt. In my eyes, you are also vulnerable, do you know that almost the entire album of "Lover" doesn't make me feel sweet and warm, including the seemingly happy and powerful self in "Me!" How can I be a little self-hypnotic in my ears Feeling, of course, confidence is very powerful. In fact, you have always been very motivated, it can be said that you have always been very YX, you are not satisfied with the American "entertainment circle", and you have also influenced American politics.

Enough talk, back to what I wanted to say

What is it that I have been dissatisfied with? It's the same problem as "Taylor thinks she deserves what she has, but doesn't think she deserves what she has now". Keep saying, Taylor's right, yes she's a little girl. But I deeply feel that there are too many people around me who praise, agree, and admire Taylor, and hardly find anyone who criticizes her. I can understand her blackening, but what everyone doesn't see is that behind her so-called revenge power is helplessness, and she is increasingly unable to find her way. When you treat others in a narrow-minded way of hatred, you yourself are pushed into the quagmire.

So, I can understand this way, but it is not worthy of praise.

Besides, red for too long, shouting for too long, too much noise, the heart will be empty.

I still miss the girl with sparkling eyes and heart-to-heart in the audience, the simple sparkling you on the stage, the you who are always passionate about the stage.

PS: Why do I think "Taylor thinks she deserves all she has" isn't quite right? You think you did the right thing, you succeeded, but you are one of the few who understand. How lucky are you, born in a middle-class family, how lucky are you, your environment can make you feel that you are on the right path, "I have been working hard to be a nice girl." Don't deny it, grab the microphone event to How much attention you have brought, but ordinary people can’t do it the way you do, do you know? It is precisely because she feels that "I am so worthy" that she "should not be burdened".

    The point of the documentary is "be a good girl", which can be described as a full-point composition for the proposition. But this is a completely whitewashed perspective, and it cannot be said to be untrue, but we always want to see the unknown side behind celebrities, especially Taylor in the trailer was lost several times, which made people's appetite, but the result was that the Grammys were not nominated? There are also high-light moments when you suddenly wake up after being wiped out. Maybe these things are really as heavy as a mountain on one person, but compared to those who are really suffering in society, they are hardly worth mentioning. If the film is called American Chic, it is understandable, but it is called Miss Americana, then the pattern must be enlarged. Should celebrities really use their influence to try to change "politics as they understand it"? I am remaining silent on this matter.

    Whether you scold it or praise it, I just hope that there is a popular idol in mainland China who is well-known, has a brain, has a conscience, has courage, has an attitude, and dares to speak out in politics.
