I was watching BoF a while back, and it was about a black fashion director who went to Paris in a snazzy outfit - a Phillip Lim top, an Ellery skirt, and Jimmy Choo shoes. a place to return a bag to the brand, only to be pushed out of an elevator by a French woman.
The white guy thought that black people like her shouldn't be in the neighborhood because people like her steal.
The fashion director explains to her what she does, what she wears, only for the French woman to remain adamant that "no matter what you wear, no matter what you're wearing, people like you steal, and you need to leave right now."
For ordinary people, we work hard, we learn to dress up, we improve our image, just to gain confidence and respect, and just because of the color of the skin or race will be erased efforts, suffer discrimination is very unfair.
We always say that French women are spontaneous and classy, but not everyone is classy. There are elites and mediocrities in any group. For women, it's also easier to achieve inner abundance when you have an eye for style.
Today, Tintin has compiled a list of 5 movies that can help us improve our style, all of which can help us cultivate a more tolerant and mature mindset, from which young girls can gain the power to grow.
1. The Help
This movie is about racism, and the plot is tight and full of light and hope. In my mind, this movie is as good as Green Book, which won the Oscar for Best Picture.
The movie is about Skeeter, an affluent white college student who defied segregation and wrote and published a book about black people in Mississippi on the eve of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, to give a voice to black people.
In those days, the glittering upper classes left their children to grow up in the care of black maids, who, seemingly humble, took on the responsibility of caring for the next generation.
They told their children, "You're kind, you're beautiful, you're important, and the cute white kids returned the maid's warmth by saying, "You're my real mommy.
White women have always treated black maids condescendingly, only as tools of becoming. What they didn't realize was that their next generation would grow up with a close relationship with these lovely maids.
So did Skeeter, who continued to encourage black women, against all odds, to collect the maids' stories and publish them in a book.
There are many touching and thought-provoking details throughout the story that are very touching. Every individual is flesh and blood with a soul, and no one is born deserving of discrimination.
This is a mistake that happened in America in that era, and righting a wrong requires people to wake up, to speak out, and people to help each other.
"When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something."
Whether it is the present or the future, we should be brave enough to stand up against injustice, not to be the bossy one or the weak one who goes against the grain.
2. "Self-combing"
Self-combing means putting one's hair up like a married woman to show that one will never get married. Some women did not want to get married and be mistreated, so they were willing to be self-combed women, living with other self-combed sisters in the aunt's house, supporting and relying on each other.
The movie is very old, released in 1997, and tells the story of the intertwined lives of Yihuan, a self-combing woman, and Yuhuan, a young woman in a greenhouse, in a time of turmoil.
When Yihuan was young, she chose to comb herself for life to avoid a marriage. When her parents were about to take her back to marry off their debt, Yuhuan offered her money to help her out.
Yuhuan, as the eighth concubine, was bullied by other concubines for a long time, and her husband betrayed her to the warlord as a plaything. When Yuhuan left her husband with scars, Yihuan never gave up and took good care of her.
Later, when Yihuan was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart and was in critical condition, it was Yuhuan who spent all her savings to save Yihuan's life. After the war, after decades of separation, the two men still remained steadfast in their love for each other.
People's feelings have never been very complex, intimate relationships in the sufferings, self-deception, when faced with a choice, you can only see clearly how important they are in the heart of the other side.
Women in the old society were on thin ice, and the more helpless they were in the grand context of the times, the more they emphasized the value of true love.
The film does not have a strong color palette, and both the filming and the story are very sincere and simple. After watching it, you may rethink the definition of love.
3. The Veil
This is also a quiet movie. Adapted from Maugham's novel of the same name, the picture is fresh and elegant, telling the story of a woman's growth, awakening and self-redemption.
The heroine, Kitty, is born into a family of well-off lawyers and is raised by her mother to be a canary, hoping to cross the class line by marrying someone.
But Kitty has a discerning eye and is still unmarried at 25. Then, under family pressure, she hastily agrees to a marriage proposal from Walter, a bacteriologist.
Although Walter loves Kitty, he is a quiet man who has always been devoted to bacterial research. A hasty marriage will eventually lead to pitfalls, and Kitty, still in love with her vanity, soon falls in love with Charlie, a suave married man.
When her husband discovers her cheating behavior, he takes her to cholera-ridden Mae Taeng Province.
But in an environment as hostile as Mae Taeng Foo, all thoughts of luxury and desultory desires seem sinful, and human relationships become pure.
It is only then that Kitty begins to look at her own shallowness, vanity and ignorance, and dedicates herself to helping care for the orphans at the convent, finding inner abundance and peace in her giving.
There's a lot more to the movie without spoiling it, and the layers are much richer than I've presented. Human nature and emotions are complex, and you can't measure them from just one perspective.
Walter loves Kitty, but wants revenge or to die with her; Kitty doesn't love Walter, and even when she sees her husband's selflessness and kindness, she only admires him, not love.
But the important thing is that love is only part of life. Beyond pomp and lust, there are more meaningful paths waiting to be explored . The veil of disguise doesn't have to be removed for love either, and being honest with yourself is the real salvation.
4. "Growing Up"
Recently, it's graduation season, and there are a lot of young girls in the Martin Boots readership, so maybe you're just finishing your senior year of high school or graduating from college.
I saw this movie when I was a freshman in college, and the plot is relatively simple, but it's really helpful for young girls, and looking back, I'm grateful to have seen it when I was a kid.
The heroine, Jenny, is 16, in high school, beautiful, plays the cello, and dreams of going to Oxford.
Such a girl is as beautiful as a pearl, but her parents are too utilitarian in their cultivation of her, always wanting her to marry a rich man.
So when Jenny meets David, she falls in easily. David is much older than Jenny, but he's elegant and gentlemanly, and drives a limited edition car.
Together they go to concerts, fancy restaurants, auctions, and trips to Paris.
The laziness and coziness of the upper class is what makes it easy to drift off into a dream, so why work hard when you already have what you want?
The plot, of course, is unsurprising: David is only interested in her on a whim, and it's Jenny who comes to her senses.
What this movie can teach little girls is that it's really hard to resist the charms of mature men, who can take you on a journey that opens up new horizons and makes it easy for you to fulfill your little desires, while still being gentle and caring, and totally respectful of your wishes.
- Seems like the perfect partner, but many times there are hidden traps. All they want is your admiration and adoration, and to coax you to stay by their side to fulfill their shallow desire to be the "dominant one".
Writer Liao Yimei said:
If you also have an uncle control, first recognize each other is not a liar, and then seriously think about it, at this time you have a healthy "love" ability.
5. "The Happiness Society"
This is a very old movie, and some people liken it to "a group of women strung together in a pearl necklace". In some ways, it's also the best women's movie I've ever seen.
- "This feather may seem worthless, but it comes from a distant homeland and carries a piece of my beauty."
The film is very rich in content, 贯穿贯穿贯穿四组家庭祖孙三代的不同际遇都，既有宏大的时代变迁带来人的思考，也有现代女性意识觉醒的启示。
The mothers of the four families are all Chinese, and they started the Joy Luck Club to share the happiness and forget the pain, as well as to miss their homeland.
All four mothers have experienced different ups and downs and traumas in their youth, and they all love their daughters dearly, but traditional oriental upbringing tends to be deep and uncommunicative, and sometimes that love hurts each other.
Mothers have their own helplessness, but they also respect and love their children, and they want their daughters to be free and brave enough to live for themselves, and to have an equal love that is not dependent on others.
The mother-daughter relationship is a problem that every woman must face in her life. The mother's generation has carried too much trauma, and the more they want their daughters to get rid of it, the easier it is to distort the love, and this repression has re-influenced the next generation, making them sensitive and inferior.
The love of a good wife and mother, not in exchange for respect, if you meet people who do not cherish you, do not compromise do not stay, you can live a happier life.
This movie has the shadow of our three generations and is well worth watching.
A lot of girls say they don't have the confidence to do anything, in fact, the reason why they don't have the confidence is because they put too much emphasis on "beauty".
For girls, beauty is not the biggest advantage, more reading, more experience, may one day suddenly realize that the beauty of the appearance of only a small part of the color, there are more beautiful qualities in this life is worth pursuing and cultivate.
Even if you are too young to realize the richness of life, books and movies can be used as a mirror of life. After you open your eyes, you can look at yourself and your life from a different perspective and feel differently.
Today, Friday, we happen to take advantage of the weekend to watch a movie together, then we will see you on Sunday night, when to talk about the bright Hong Kong style ~
