Black girl- Angela, Jung

This movie makes us think about class differentiate and equality right to live. She had to earn money for her family and herself. Before going to France, she dreamed she can live in beautiful environment. I thought that the era that this movie was made had severe class difference. In that time, most black races had to work under the white class people.

I was shocked when I saw the last scene in this movie. Because I couldn’t understand her suicide.

When her master gave her the money, she didn’t receive that. Actually, while she is working in master’s house, she wanted to travel France and to buy pretty dresses and accessories. But at the last, she rejected to get the money. I thought the reason is that in repetition to work for upper classes, she realized that although she can buy the things that she want to buy, she cann’t change her status. At first, she wanted to buy the stuffs that she wanted to buy and to go beautiful places, but she realized that is not important any more in her life. She knew that black people always to stay under the white people, so she despaired about that.

I can understand her disappointed mind, but I think that her choice was wrong. Her behavior was very passive. She should have acted more independently, although she couldn’t the class structure.

In these days, we still sometimes have problem how can we look upon the people equally who has various status and races, but the differentiate between white people and black people almost disappeared. The person who live in this places all has the right to be treated equally and to live happy.
