Yesterday saw the movie Miracle. Chose country of manufacture Hong Kong IMDb among the films with the highest rating, which I almost all have seen, noticed the new. True, he American, Chinese who cares if the film is good, I thought...
A little bit about the story. Boy with rare disease, for which do it completely deformed face for the first time goes to school. Here in fact everything. And once it becomes clear that it is a complex dramatic story. And how could it be otherwise?
Can! Cheers to us Hollywood pass it your creation.
My first Association of the film was associated with such a popular phenomenon today, as the censoring of children's literature. In including the remaking of fairy tales. It when tales removed all the terrible, sad, brutal moments, so as not to injure the psyche of the child. Fox the gingerbread man does not eaten, and home back. The Golden egg is not crashed, sold it a woman with Santa iPhone bought. Something. I exaggerate of course, but who knows, may have until it came. The purpose of this — to protect the child from experiences. And in the end, such is protected from experiences the child grows up not able to the empathy of adults.
Following the Association — perfect people. But not the supermen of books of Ephraim, probably at comes to mind comparison with a sort of emasculation of a man. So perfect in its harmlessness. The house sits on don't looks, mittens knits. Or here's the film Inappropriate people, there too well these perfect people shown.
Why not enough of this film? And I'll tell you! He not enough gay and feminists on the main roles. Seriously. You noticed a modern American film is just not can be compulsory Negra on one of the main positive roles. It is mandatory time, but still it is desirable to have a disabled, gay, feminist or any other representative of the minorities. Because otherwise the film will be insufficiently tolerant. And the film he is the last live all about the tolerance. So nothing they are a minority spared that.
Taught by this film? The fact that you look as for all have a lot of friends, fame and success without any special effort. It all.
For comparison. Here there is such a good old movie Giant. There is also the story of the disabled boy, about how it came school, found there a true friend. How great intelligence, dignity, sense of humor, he had. As changed the life of his big clumsy friend. This incredibly touching.
People who are somewhat different from the other will always be difficult in society. They always have to work harder and be stronger. The cruelty and lack of understanding will not going anywhere.
This film is not will add loyalty to the disabled. Because does not allow the viewer to sympathize, and only creates the illusion of an easy, carefree life.
Maybe I'm too harsh to this film. There was funny and cute moments. But painfully surprised so many positive reviews when the absence of criticism.
PS. 8 stars on IMDb. Here what a miracle.
