Behind the scenes production
In 1996, Safire, a street artist and black school teacher, wrote the film's original famous novel push. In her novel, she describes the misfortune of a black girl. After writing the novel, Saffi thought that if the story could be put on the screen, it would be more brilliant than it is now. Because the psychological description and the inner monologue of Bryce are more suitable to be shown on the screen than in words. Safire trusted Lee Daniels and gave him all the rights to adapt novels. After the director Lee Daniels got the right to adapt the novel, he borrowed land to get a little money, so the film began to shoot.
Director Lee Daniels said that black people will always be a minority and a second-class citizen in the United States. In terms of education, medical care and other public facilities, they are several grades worse than white people. Lee Daniels made the film, on the one hand, because the original novel had a great influence on him, and on the other hand, he hoped that the audience would pay attention to the life of black people, the education and psychological problems of the next generation of black people

Film evaluation
The film has a good balance between reality and beauty
. The heroine's life is like a nightmare, but she is always full of courage to imagine her brilliant appearance on the stage. The director delicately shows the heroine how to find her position in the adversity of life. The process from being oppressed to self awakening is as gorgeous and moving as the life of the annoying pine nut
