Jackson: The Place with One Clinic
导演: Maisie Crow
其它标题: Jackson: The Place with One Clinic
With a single abortion clinic remaining in the state of Mississippi, the city of Jackson has become ground zero in the nation's battle over reproductive health-care. Jackson is an intimate portrait of the interwoven lives of three women in this town. Wrought with the racial and religious undertones of the Deep South, the lives of two women are deeply affected by the director of the local pro-life crisis pregnancy center and the movement she represents.

一個在祖母的激勵下曾經擁有夢想的黑人女孩被白人基督徒精心打造的囚籠死死困住,接受不到她需要的信息,祖母的話語早被“現實”給碾成粉末,以為只有自己是這樣的她,只能跟著這群白人pro-lifer給的鬼畫符在籠子裡打轉。而他們還可能用她的事蹟來募款。更可怕的是這還是6年前的舊聞……現在感覺就像眼前擺著一枚刻著“The White Man Was Created A Devil”的魔戒……尤其是想到那個形容枯槁、偽善造作的Crisis Pregnancy Center頭頭。

平靜地記錄了一黑一白兩個同志酒吧在川普當政的時期“頂風作案”,組織各自的第一次驕傲遊行的故事。沒有所謂“南方”式的衝突對抗,但是在組織活動甚至是是否要、如何去組織活動的時候,成員們流露出的緊張和不安足夠讓人覺得不爽。最後主人公們感慨活動中好多家庭帶著孩子來加入支持他們,神情就像是迎來了一群天使一樣感覺自己被治愈的樣子讓人感動。
[特別備註:把“南方/紅州/...就是這樣”掛在嘴邊的北方/藍州及歐洲等“文明高地”的高等“開化”人沒有資格觀賞本片。哪樣了你給我說清楚先,不然就Shut up and Listen.]

不看不是中國人!![怪怪的]
一個尋常華裔人家尋根故事竟然可以這樣高潮迭起,就像大壩被掏開一個小洞之後一發不可收拾。
Deep South的一個無名小鎮上,不僅存在過生機勃勃的華裔社區,不同族裔的生活更在這些不被這個國家歡迎的Chinaman開的小店裡匯聚,尤其是華裔和非裔的唇齒相依讓人動容,與今日海內外高等華/漢們的自私猥瑣形成鮮明對比。當你不把別人當人看的時候,就已經選擇了成為魔鬼。
在主人公趙錦昌(K.C. Lou)的訃告裡還寫著他的父親趙仲流(Charlie Lou)“was born in New Orleans, Louisiana”,儘管片尾的檔案顯示他其實是出生在舊金山。想必是趙老先生在紐奧良生活過相當的時光才會有這樣的誤會。所以這還是一部 [Made in NOLA] 電影。……還要再看5遍!
