Sally's Black, Brown, & Queer on Film

    This week’s movie, Moonlight , is one of my favorite movies. Because everyone in this movie is getting better and better. Chiron’s mother went to the drug rehabilitation center, Kevin became a chef and liked his life very much. Although Chiron experienced a lot of school violence, he ended up with a kind and soft heart. What makes me think that this movie shines is that Chiron has grown into a very tall and strong person who seems a bit "fierce" in my opinion. When facing Kevin, he still shows his fragile side. The last scene of the movie really left me with endless aftertastes. In the end, Chiron and Kevin finally faced each other's hearts frankly, leaning together without words.    A passage I liked very much, "running around, catching up all that light. In moonlight, black boys look blue. You blue." This passage is very artistic and reminds me of a very beautiful picture. This movie is different from other movies of similar themes. Although it tells the s...

  The movie, Mysterious Skin , starts with the different lives of two boys. The two seemingly unrelated people finally evoke a sad past. I watched the movie this week with a frown. I don't know if it's because of the difference in culture from mine. The work after Neil grew up as a teenager also made me feel a pity, and not to mention the things he was instigated to do when he was a child. The whole movie feels very depressing to me, I feel that Neil actually wants to escape from that kind of life. However, on the day he became a waiter, he still did the same thing as before. This is something I don't understand.     Until Neil came home from New York to meet Brian that I felt that this story was different from what I thought. I originally thought that the coach truly liked Neil, but after hearing Neil talk about what happened to them and Brian when they were young, I realized that this coach is a pervert. I especially feel sorry for the two little boys. One was instigate...

 This week's movie, Mosquita y Mari, tells the story between two girls' study and family. Yolanda's parents are really similar as some Asian parents, and they value their children's achievements very much. Just like in the movie, Yolanda asked her mother how her mother knew her father, and her mother was a little impatient and told her that studying is what she should pay attention to. Before seeing this part, I always thought this mother was a very good mother. But after this part, I realized that she was not as good as I thought.   Mari’s grades went from D at the beginning to 94% of the final exam. Really improved too much, which shows that these two girls will really achieve each other together. Yolanda helped Mari improve her grades and changed her mind. Mari helped Yolanda release her nature and relax appropriately during the learning process. What a beautiful time between them.  

 The movie signature move I watched this week is great for the transformation of these characters, but to be honest, these are not very deep, which means that it is too superficially. However, for the feeling of the whole movie, I watched it more relaxed and happy, because it contains the elements of comedy. This movie also includes the racial dimension. There may be religious views on LGBTQI. I think this movie might be a pretty good movie if it were placed ten years ago, but now it is a bit ordinary and it doesn't excite me. In recent years, the development of films has indeed been getting better and better. A film like this may not be able to excel.  For my perspective, I personally think that for movies with this kind of topic, we still need to learn more and study more in order to make a good work. Because my country has not legalized homosexuality, movies of this kind of topic are very sensitive. Therefore, in my impression, this type of film needs to have a deep meanin...

     This  is a very  delicate and touching story. An ordinary girl, a nagging mother, a steady father, a seemingly ordinary family, in fact, there are barriers. The father has a lover, the daughter is homosexual, and the mother's paranoid love makes them unable to breathe. Hearing her daughter personally say that I am gay, the mother's incomprehension and brutality have completely ripped her pain away. Mother represents part of society's views and oppressions of Alike, but she still loves her mother. Her identification with her identity makes me very happy. She chose a road she likes, although this road may be difficult, I admire her very much. "I am not running. I am choosing.”   There is also a saying that I like very much, I am your child and always will be. But I am not anyone's child, I am me. Everyone is a unique individual, while being a child of a parent, I am also myself.
