Female Directors and Actresses' Female Stories
The director of the film, Tanya Wixler, has not been out for a long time, and has not filmed a famous work, but after learning about the history of the invention of the "vibrator", she still devoted herself to the preparation of the film without hesitation. The process of preparing for the filming was a long one. She had to find someone to write the script, and she had to invest in herself. This film took her five years before and after. Talking about the film’s source of inspiration and the ratio of historical facts to fiction, Tanya Wexler said: “At that time, I learned this story by accident. I think it’s very suitable to be adapted into a movie—— Of course it is from the positive and comedy aspect. Later I checked some information and found that three doctors invented this ҉Motion stick together. Then I conceived a story about ҉Motion stick, love and the lower body in my mind. It was at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Women were still ashamed to talk about lower body problems. They would not say how their husbands and wives lived or how their husbands’ sexual abilities were, so this invention almost saved them. Their private lives. From another perspective, this invention is something that liberates labor. I think this is very interesting. If you put another love story before and after this invention, it will definitely be a difficult one. A forgotten movie. So, I set up a socialist woman in the movie, and her interaction with the doctor became the clue of the movie."
Of course, Tanya Wexler did not take the press rod and women’s desires as the main body of the film to tell, these two things are just "good props", she puts her focus on It tells how women faced the society at the time and how to deal with their love lives. Tanya Wexler said: "I set up a socialist woman in the film, and her interaction with the doctor became the clue of the film. Of course, these are all fictitious, because in that era, a If a woman dares to find her own love, then she will definitely be regarded as unfaithful and dirty by others. But the role played by Maggie Gyllenhaal is an innocent woman. She has no education. Many, but considerate. She doesn’t understand what her lover is doing, but she knows how to maintain her love. I think this is an open, progressive, and forward-looking role.” Speaking of her role, Maggie ·Gyllenhaal said: “In some ways, this is an angel bestowed by heaven. She is not bound by worldly viewpoints, but also understands her pursuit. It is this unique trait that makes She has become the most eye-catching and most popular character in the film. I like this character very much. Whether she is real or fictional, I think this character is very sincere, very like a character that exists in reality."
Such a character, such a theme, and such a story with G points have brought Tanya Wexler a great challenge. She said: "It is the biggest challenge I have to hold the jokes of the lower body. If the jokes go too far, it will not match the theme and atmosphere of the movie; if it is too tickled, it will make The audience is disappointed. Expressing sexual climax, expressing women’s desires and physical pleasure is the key but also the difficulty. Moreover, I just have an idea and it’s not enough. I need outstanding actors to express these contents. Of course, those in the film’ The actors of sex and thirsty have done very well. Moreover, Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance is very good. She fully demonstrated the traits and personality that I want to give to the role. It should be said that it is her. And that group of outstanding actors made this movie."
