Jennifer Lawrence produced the documentary “Bread and Roses” about the lives of three characters, Zahra, Taranom and Sharifa, who fought to regain their basic rights.
The film “Bread and Roses” is a harrowing and emotional look at the lives of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. After two decades of US occupation, the country once again fell into the hands of the Taliban insurgent group. The group quickly stripped women of their basic rights – simple freedoms like the ability to work, appear in public without a male chaperone, and the right to an education.
Sharing with Variety, Jennifer Lawrence said she felt helpless and disappointed with the way the media brought these stories into the news cycle and into people’s psychology. So to get people to encourage and pay attention to the plight of these women, Jennifer Lawrence produced “Bread and Roses”.
The interesting thing about this film lies in the extraordinary strength, courage and absolute strength of the women who created the resistance in Afghanistan. These women risk their lives, to protest a regime that does not consider them fully human. The harsh social binary imposed by the Taliban is shown here very clearly: You can be a good woman (an obedient virgin and a dutiful mother) or a terrible woman. And if you are a bad woman, you will be considered inferior and have all your rights stripped away.
Many people believe that the film is a necessary roar of anger for what is happening in Afghanistan, when half of the country’s population suffers oppression under a dictatorship. After being completed, “Bread and Roses” premiered for the first time in Cannes with a special screening.
Predicted to be the silliest comedy this summer, No Hard Feelings quickly attracted the attention of the public and media around the world. The film will also mark the hot return of talented actress Jennifer Lawrence.
It’s been more than 2 years since Jennifer Lawrence stopped her acting career and started spending time taking care of her family and herself. All fans are wondering when this talented girl will return to cinema. Fortunately, without making the audience wait any longer, Jennifer Lawrence will officially return in the comedy project No hard feelings (Vietnamese title: Nanny teaches “love”) directed by director Gene Stupnitsky.
As a guaranteed box office name in Hollywood, it is not difficult for Jennifer Lawrence to receive countless invitations from blockbuster projects, but the strange thing is that she refused them all to spend time and effort participating in them. Nanny teaches “love”.
With the type of person who is picky about scripts like Jennifer, even the number of comedy-drama films she has previously participated in can only be counted on the fingers of one hand. Perhaps, this is a new direction, a turning point for Jennifer Lawrence, and even a potential project to make its mark at large and small film festivals.
