May be the cause of climate change, this week poison Jun sleep quality is not particularly high, obviously 9 o'clock in the morning alarm clock, often 6 o'clock to wake up once, during the period will wake up several times, ah, so uncomfortable ...
This feeling of exhaustion reminds me of a Nordic film I watched the other day, and it is also exhausting after watching it. However, you can't find a particularly good solution.
It is so real, and the heroine's encounter in the story is so regrettable.
Blood of Sami
Sami Blood
On Douban, this debut film directed by newcomer director Knell only got a rating of 7.6. In my opinion, it should not be so low.
Compared with the relatively moderate ratings in China, foreign audiences are obviously more eager to see this work.
On Rotten Tomatoes, it gets a 94% freshness rating. You know, this freshness is not lost to Nolan's new work.
After reading it, some people said that "Sami's Blood" is a history that is not known to the people of a country and an individual, both spiritually and emotionally.
After watching it, the domestic audience said that this is a work with blood.
So what's the movie about?
The story begins with a funeral. One day, an elderly Sami man, she was told that her sister, who lived deep in the mountains, had died.
With the support of the juniors, the sister went to the church to attend her sister's funeral.
Although a minority in Sweden, he also speaks Sámi. But when communicating with his people, the old man seems to be quite rejecting his own culture.
Compatriots spoke to her in their hometown dialect,
But she pretended to be stupid, saying that she didn't know what the other party said.
▲ The old man even tries to avoid eye contact with the other party when he speaks
Her compatriots told her that your sister thought of you to the death. But the old man still said ruthlessly, please say Chinese.
Even not long after the memorial service, the old man shouted to go home, embarrassing his son.
What is it that makes the elderly so resentful of their hometown culture?
This has to start with the old man when he was young.
The girl in the poster above is the old man when she was young, and her name is Maya.
Maya has a sister about the same age as herself, and the two sisters have had a good relationship since childhood.
Unlike her fellow tribesmen, the Maya's gift of language allowed her to learn Swedish at a very young age.
Although she did not live with swedes, judging from her use of Swedish, the little girl was very eager to live in the city.
Although, the act of speaking Swedish is itself highly susceptible to resentment from people of the clan, especially mothers.
According to local policy, even ethnic minorities need to receive a basic Swedish school education.
Maya said she would definitely return from her studies.
Because of the long-term deep residence in the mountains, coupled with the unique dress of the Sami people. On the way to school, sister flowers encounter the colored eyes of Swedish residents along the way.
Not long after coming to school, the teacher began to teach the students to learn Swedish.
Although the teaching is somewhat harsh, the female teacher's appearance is still good.
Because of the frequent speaking of Swedish, the Maya stands out among the many Sami students.
In other words, she managed to attract the attention of female teachers.
Privately, the teacher would give the minority student his favorite book and invite her to her home for coffee.
In addition, when there is a visit to the old school for foreign guests, the Maya can also be greeted as a representative of the Sami ethnic group.
However, the appreciation that Maya received did not change the status quo of discrimination. Shuttling between school and dormitory every day, Maya and her Sami compatriots still had to endure the strange glances from the Swedes.
The school's routine physical examination does not seem to be to check the physical condition of the students, but to conduct medical research with obvious racial discrimination.
To make matters worse, Maya and her children were treated as undignified animals by the school authorities, stripped naked and forced to take pictures.
It would be nice if that were the end of the matter. According to Maya's previous promise to her people, it will not be long before she can return to the mountains and get rid of the injustices inflicted on her by the outside world.
But damningly, Maya wasn't content with the tribal way of life, she wanted to get better higher education like the Swedes did.
And that's not all, the Maya, who is in adolescence, has begun to enter the stage of sexual awakening at this time. She began to want to try to get in touch with handsome guys of the opposite sex.
In order to participate in the dance organized around the school, Maya first stole the clothes of the school workers.
Then run to the lake and wash away the odor that seems to outsiders with Sami characteristics.
This act of de-identitization has worked very well.
That night, she and a young man looked at each other and successfully soaked in people's homes.
The other party said that as long as you want, you can come to my home at any time.
Just when the two people were qingqing me, Maya's sister suddenly appeared at the dance scene, which spoiled her sister's good deeds.
In the face of taking the initiative to find her sister, Maya's instinctive reaction was:
I don't understand what you're saying, damn Rapp (another name for the Sami)!
Some netizens commented on the bit.
Maya's approach at this time was indeed like escaping shame, avoiding anything related to Sammy, including her biological sister.
The surprised glances and whispers made Maya feel ashamed. In order to get rid of shame, there is only a desperate renunciation of everything in the past, including the fact that you are a Sami.
After the prom, Maya was punished for stealing and isolated by her sister and other Sami companions.
Knowing that this was not the way to go, Maya decided to seek the help of a female teacher who wanted to go to Sweden's big city for further study through a letter of introduction.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only refused his own request, but also put forward a set of so-called scientific theories to support it.
Maya, who knew that she was blind, fled the school in frustration. She had to escape.
As my sister said: No one wants you to stay here.
Although it has become the target of public criticism, the sister also unceremoniously countered: You are a group of weak minds who cannot think independently.
Apparently, this once again stung the pure and kind sister.
After leaving school, he traveled alone to the City's Maya, choosing to first join the handsome boy he had last met at the dance.
She wishfully believes that the other party still loves her. Unexpectedly, the man had forgotten who she was.
On the night of the reunion, Maya tries to use her flesh to arouse the attention of the young man to herself, and fantasizes that she can stay in the other person's house for a few more days. But the boy's parents don't eat this set.
The next morning, shortly after the first night of the two men, Maya was politely invited out by the boys.
It is no exaggeration to describe the Maya's journey into the city as a "bloody lesson."
Maya, abandoned by the man, wanders the city alone. Fortunately, she was lucky, and she quickly found a school to take her in.
At first, Maya's clumsiness was so obvious that it was hard not to notice her.
When it was difficult to mix with the school's friends, the high tuition fee once again made Maya fall into despair.
Maya, who has no way out, can only cheekily borrow money from the young man who swept himself out of the house before, and the result can be imagined.
There was no way, he had to go back to the tribe to ask for money.
After returning home to see her mother, Maya asked her to sponsor her to continue her studies, but her conservative mother rejected this unnatural offer.
In order to prove her determination to leave the area, Maya did not hesitate to kill her own elk (according to Sami tradition, the elk is equivalent to her personal property, equal to currency), and offered to exchange her father's silver belt for her own tuition.
The Maya eventually got her wish. And her own departure also symbolizes the complete separation of her and the ethnic group.
At this point, the Maya and the ethnic group were completely deadlocked
Everything that has happened, scene after scene appeared in the mind of the elderly Maya. She had never had any contact with her family in all these years. By the time I met my loved ones again, it was already a double heaven of yin and yang.
With a long memory, Maya returned to her hometown. However, things are not human beings. Today, who remembers this old man in modern clothes?
The film ends with a lonely atmosphere. The old man's eroded face and the sad and mournful eyes are not a silent accusation?
It can be seen that even the so-called most democratic country in the world, such as Sweden, has a history that has been difficult to look back on.
In order to promote the swedes' own traditional values and culture, what they did to the Sami did not seem to be significantly different from the measures taken by Western colonists against the indigenous peoples.

With its precise entry angle and cold narrative style, the film was very successful at last year's Tokyo International Film Festival.
As a small actor born after 95, Lynn, who played the young Maya, conquered the judges and the audience with superb acting skills. As her screen debut, I have to say that it is still quite amazing.
In addition to the awards won by the film, the social problems that the film essentially reflects may be what needs our deep consideration.
Some viewers pointed out the essence of civilization.
Of course, there are also sensual viewers who are aware of the sad tone of the story itself.
Indeed, as the protagonist of this film, Maya's road to mainstream social recognition is bumpy and difficult. In the process, she cut off the connection between herself and her people, and only reluctantly exchanged it for the Swede's embrace.
Even after many years, The Swedish perception of minorities has not made much progress, reflecting the harm caused by prejudice. In order to hide her true identity, Maya had to wash away all imprints related to the original culture.
Everyone has the right to choose the lifestyle they want. And maya's choice of this way of life, for her, is somewhat cruel and unfair.
If the so-called progress is premised on the suppression of the other side, then humanity may forever be able to retreat in a self-righteous false prosperity.
▲ A map of world discrimination circulating on the Internet may mean that there is no understanding between people
As the saying goes, the end of evolution is extinction. Having lost our diversity, what do we talk about "seeking common ground while reserving differences"?
The so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences may not exist at all. In the face of profit, man's selfishness may be far greater than generosity.
And that's why Sami's Blood exists.
