问好读者!谢谢你推荐的影片,Finding Dorothy这本书里实际上讲了两个故事,主线是Maud Baum的生平,副线是MGM拍摄Wizard Of Oz这部电影的过程,也谈到了Maud与Judy短暂的友谊及Maud对Judy的保护。拍摄这部电影时Judy已满十六岁,除了你提及的备受他人及药物的控制,还得时刻提防性骚扰。
女人只有Physically,Mentally,& Financially Independent,才能有真正的自由可言。想起《简爱》里的一段话:“ Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!” |
