I love good stories that fall into the rut

"Help"

The content of this film is actually very rich. The main line of the story is a story about equal rights for blacks, especially for black women. It discusses the attitudes towards discrimination and minorities under the social system and social model, but at the same time it has a rich extension. . From social justice to gender issues to religious beliefs; from life ideals to career choices to lifestyles; from love choices to friendship judgments to family atmosphere... The rich content makes the film run longer. If the audience can accept these rich extensions and the value orientation that the director wants to present, the film will bring a better viewing experience; otherwise, these slow-moving stories can easily make the audience feel trivial and sleepy.

In addition, the performance of other aspects of the film is also remarkable. In such a movie where the storyline occupies a very important position, the actors' acting skills are the first parts to be judged, and the actors' acting skills in this movie are very online, the characters are portrayed very vividly, and the characteristics of each character are very clear. Generally speaking, the tones of the film are bright tones with high saturation, which is more consistent with the overall warm atmosphere of the film and the good ending. The soundtrack of the film is also very distinctive, especially the western music and black music with distinctive styles are eye-catching.

But the movie does have some problems. The most important point is that the warmth of the film will make the audience feel that it does not match the real situation . Although there are setbacks and ups and downs in the storyline, it seems a little too smooth compared to the cruel reality faced by the affirmative action movement. Secondly, some audiences believe that although the actors' interpretation of the characters is relatively in place, the setting of each character in the film is somewhat monotonous, the quality is very clear, and the "gray area" carried by the real characters is lacking. At the same time, the overall direction of the film is relatively easy to speculate, and it is easy to bring a feeling of "shooting according to a fixed routine" .

There are many criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad. Storyline, narrative angle, shooting techniques... From documentary style to stream-of-consciousness creation techniques, our different preferences lead to different evaluations.

The film has been at the top of the "My Favorite Movies" list since a long time ago, and no other movie has surpassed him for a while.

The reason I like it is simple - I like this story, and this may seem like a politically correct, slow-paced heartwarming story.

Fast-paced, turbulent, thrilling, cool and abstract movies are undoubtedly more attractive to the audience. But those beautiful and tender stories that seem a bit cliché are also worthy of praise.

Like all tender and beautiful days.

    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.
