What kind of movie is Desert Flower?

I can't calm down after watching the movie. The inner shock and pain can't disappear for a long time, and it's hard to get rid of such emotions. The world is too big to accommodate all kinds of society and life you can't imagine. Different social forms, different honors, different beliefs and different lifestyles.

An important theme to be highlighted in the film is circumcision.

The primary purpose of circumcision is to provide a reliable "virginity test" method for men. He can judge whether the bride is a virgin by examining her vulva. During sexual intercourse, a woman's wound is torn, then healed, then torn again, and so on. When the husband goes out to graze or work, this circumcision function can also be used to test whether the wife is loyal after returning home.

For women, doctors have no sexual desire and pleasure. At this level, this is female castration.

Such "etiquette" is like foot binding in the old tradition of China, in order to please men. It's all bad habits. No, it's worse than foot binding, because it happens almost every day. Although circumcision is because, from a religious point of view, what is between a woman's legs is something that deprives a man, this etiquette should be implemented. But in fact, cutting and stitching will make the vaginal opening narrow forever, just like this kind of foot binding (tightening the muscles at the root of the thigh to keep the vagina tight when walking). These measures are all aimed at stimulating men's sexual excitement and being more indulgent.

Such etiquette is the biggest manifestation of gender inequality. In the film, the protagonist announced this event in real time, with both criticism and sympathy. Some scholars think that we should not interfere with the culture of other countries. But what I want to say is whether such a scholar has humanity and conscience. So the world needs to call for equality between men and women, so we need women's rights.

I admit that I was emotional again when I wrote these words. Watch this movie calmly again. It describes a big theme, an empty desert, a lonely little girl, a helpless street, and finally a silent heroine who locked herself up at the moment of her speech. Every point touches the hearts of sensitive audiences. The heroine's performance was also very shocking. Thank you for contributing such a great theme.
