冒名之肤

The film "Skin of an Imposter" is adapted from Naylor Larson's 1929 novel of the same name, telling a story about a series of conflicts caused by a black woman posing as a white man. The film will be released in Europe and the United States in 2021, directed by Rebecca Hall, and co-starred by actors such as Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga, Andre Holland and Bill Camp, bringing the audience into an entanglement about identity and love.

The background of the story is set in Harlem, New York in the 1920s. Both Claire and Eileen are light-skinned blacks who could pass off as white if they wanted to. One day after a twelve-year separation, two childhood friends meet unexpectedly at a Chicago restaurant.

At this time, Claire has already pretended to be white and married John Bello, a wealthy white businessman who has racist thoughts but knows nothing about her real identity. Erin, on the other hand, is married to a black doctor, lives a stable middle-class life, and occasionally pretends to be white for social needs. After Claire pretended to be white, her life became lonely, and she often visited Erin's house while her husband was away on business. In the process of getting in touch with Irene's husband, Brian, Claire and Brian have a good impression, and they are both attracted to each other.

The film delves into the complex relationship between identity and love by showing Claire's imposter life and her emotional entanglement with Brianne. Claire chooses an impostor to live, but falls into confusion and loneliness; Brian has feelings for Claire, but he knows nothing about her true identity, and the lies of identity eventually make love full of estrangement and uncertainty.

"Skin of an Imposter" is a thought-provoking drama that, through the development of the plot and the portrayal of the characters, reflects the complex issues raised by race and identity in interpersonal relationships. The superb performances of the actors in the film also add a lot to the story, making the film more real and touching.
