a film about women

Shanny 2022-04-20 09:01:05

A film for women. The heroine, Emma Stone, is not brilliant enough, and the black female supporting casts are all bright and blind. Davis is poignant and stoic, and Pistachio Minnie always makes people laugh. The story is warm and touching. Help and struggle about the unequal status of black maids. The subject of racism is not old, and the film is still deeply moving. Made me cry, made me laugh. That's about the life, hurt your heart, and finally heals all wounds. A touching story, a difficult turning point in an era. Even after the civil war and the cost of 620,000 lives in the north and south, it is still very difficult to truly change the concept of racial discrimination in real life. Every progress in society is hard-won.

    Actually, I'm afraid of this kind of political correctness sneaking through the drama

    I finished watching this movie with a fever. I live in the South, in a girls’ school, and there are many blacks in this state. This semester I saw a lot of materials about feminism, race, black people, and slavery, so watching this film is really touching. Emma Stone's southern accent speaks really well. And all the girls, you all acted so well.
