Sister is not the product of a certain era, but the product of every era.

From 20 15 to 10, the "two-child policy" was fully liberalized. Many couples gave birth to a second child against their children's wishes, but because of economic, age, health, accidents and other reasons, they could not support themselves, so they shifted the responsibility of raising children to adult children. Many girls are only in their teens and twenties, and it is still difficult for them to stand on their own feet in society. Suddenly, the responsibility of raising a younger brother is imposed, and contradictions break out.

This is my sister's main line, and the story revolves around how Zifeng Zhang's sister handled the problem of raising her younger brother after she suddenly lost her parents safely.

Another kind of social psychology revealed by the film has the characteristics of China culture in particular, that is, people's deep-rooted preference for sons over daughters. In order to have a boy, parents forced their younger sister to pretend to be disabled to get the index of having a second child, and even hinted at making an accident to get a chance to have a son. Parents also secretly changed their wishes, ruining their daughter's dream of becoming a doctor. This paternalistic approach is not only outrageous.

For thousands of years, China has been a patriarchal society. Sooner or later, girls belong to other people's homes, and boys are the ones who carry on the family line. They are the main labor force of the family, and they are also the objects that parents rely on for providing for the aged. This has formed an absolute preference for sons in the family, from nutrition, education, medical resources to the degree of love. Even if a daughter-in-law gives birth to a boy or a girl, it will affect her position in the family. This gender preference is deeply rooted in the social psychology of China people.

Today, there are still a large number of cases of preference for boys over girls: when the family is poor, they provide their sons with schooling instead of their daughters, and let their daughters work to earn money to help their sons marry their daughters. It seems that girls are born second-class citizens, and it is only natural to make sacrifices for boys.

The film reveals that in the process of modernization and urbanization, the issues of equality of personality and equal opportunities for girls and boys began to enter social life on a large scale, which strongly impacted the traditional gender order and challenged the traditional social psychology. At present, the traditional gender order that men are superior to women is undergoing profound changes, and a new modern order of gender equality is taking shape.

The film reveals the profound changes in China through a series of dramatic conflicts.

Perhaps the setting of the story is not uncommon, but the preciousness of Sister lies in telling the injustice suffered by girls in the shadow of "son preference" from a female perspective, which is rare in domestic movies. Moreover, the film presents these experiences in a lightweight way, with rich details, but without leaving any room for imagination.

For example, at the scene of a car accident at the beginning of the movie, the police asked Enron to show their documents to prove their parent-child relationship with the deceased, because the deceased only had a photo of them and a boy in his mobile phone, and the absence in the photo replaced Enron's story of growing up that was ignored or even deliberately erased. For example, in the narrative of the two brothers and sisters, the younger brother's father is a gentle father who can cook braised pork, and his father left an impression of beating and cursing his sister.

The wonderful storyline and plump characters show the basic skills of this successful film, and the depth of social ethics and social problems revealed behind the relationship between the story and the characters is the uniqueness of this film, which is not only fascinating, but also thought-provoking.

For the boys at home, girls have to sacrifice their future.

In people's minds, girls will get married sooner or later and become other people's homes. Training is also a waste. Boys will always be a member of their own family, and they will bear the responsibility of brightening the threshold in the future, so it is more important to train boys than girls. This idea that men are superior to women is deeply rooted and has not changed well until now.

Just like some people say that this movie should not be called My Sister, but Sister, because the injustice suffered by Sister is not the product of a certain era, but the product of every era, and it has suffered a kind of reincarnation injury. My aunt is my sister, so is Enron. The two sisters were born in different times.

Menstruation is an image that my sister most accords with the expectation of traditional values: my brother gave up the opportunity to go to college in order to be admitted to a technical secondary school, and gave up going to Russia to do business in order to help his brother take care of his children ... As an elder sister, menstruation put away all her expectations for the future and limited her life to "selfless" dedication to her family and brother, only a few Russian words and a lost doll reminded her that she had a vision of her own. Menstruation accepted this "responsibility" in the process of being crushed, and used it to ask the next generation of sisters to be safe.

Enron is more self-conscious: she wants to pursue herself, and she refuses to be bound by blood and to sacrifice her own life. The different choices of menstruation and Enron are the characteristics branded by women in different times, and also reflect the differences between women in the two times. Although Enron's struggle has always been the progress of women's consciousness, it is a pity that women in different times are still suffering from the same injustice.

In the film, two generations of women finally reached a settlement. My aunt told Enron that "not all dolls should be put in the same condom", and she finally woke up a little and was able to unload the moral shackles she put on Enron.

Finally, the film stopped at the thought of my brother's cuteness, put down the pen and signed the adoption agreement, giving everyone an open ending.

Just like someone wrote a film review: If it were me, I would choose to go to Beijing to pursue my dreams, instead of living like an aunt and sacrificing myself for others all my life.

Although making this decision will bear the pressure of moral kidnapping and public opinion, all the frameworks will be "broken", which is called "unbreakable"

If my brother is fostered in a rich family, he can receive a better education, which should be a blessing. If you don't send it away, can you raise your talents and not lack love? Not necessarily, a girl who has been "mutilated" by her parents since childhood is full of "thorns" and dissatisfaction with her parents, and her inner love is definitely extremely scarce. How can she love her brother and others?

On the contrary, only by sending his younger brother out can he break the vicious circle of his family, stop living like an aunt and go to Beijing for further study. Really live according to your own wishes.

Again, if you live in an emotional cage, you can't explode. After this step, it is certainly not so easy to make a decision to leave my brother, because everyone is an emotional animal.

However, if a person doesn't look at the long-term, just lives in an emotional "reluctance", is soft-hearted and afraid of being attacked by public opinion, she can't really live well and happily.

I don't think there will be any love without sacrifice, but the sacrifice of completely losing yourself is not worth singing. As the author explains: "Movies can't solve all the problems in life, but life can go on. We hope this film is enlightening, not indoctrinating. I won't tell you what to do, at least not in our movie. None of us can make her life decision for Enron, and we give the choice to everyone. " Because every audience has an answer in their hearts.
