      Sheelle: The New Women's Textbook

      In 2016, there were many films with female protagonists, and was one of the most passionate.

      The most attractive part of this film is undoubtedly the creation of a brand new female image. From a male perspective, such a woman may be dangerous, cold, and powerful, but from a female perspective, she just shows the repressed and negative aspects of women. Instinct, or to be precise, does what one can do in the face of the clutter of daily life.

      The heroine Michelle is a...

      Purely unexpected ending

      All in all, this movie really refreshes the three views of normal people. I was surprised to find out that this film about an independent and strong woman was made by Paul Verhoeven, the femme fatale in "Instinct", the vase actress in "Starship Troopers", and each of them in "Transparent". A lewd plaything, I feel that the director has not conveyed any positive energy to the female characters. Of course, the salty and wet plots of this film with strong sensual impact still make me understand...

      A glimpse of pride that casts evil tastes on patriarchy

      (Written by Yang Shiyang)
          This is a typical European film. It is difficult to be produced in the industrialized American film industry in its original form, and it is also unimaginable that it will appear in the culture where straight male cancer is prosperous. In other words, Although this "She" is roughly classified as a thriller, it is actually a standard work about questioning the identity of women. Under the shell of a crude and absurd rape case, it is full of irony and criticism....

      the other side of life

      Reviews are just personal feelings.
      In fact, I was at a loss when watching the whole movie, not because I didn't understand the plot, but because I couldn't understand every action of the heroine. Until the last words she said at the tomb: "I just want to find someone to sleep with."
      Suddenly realized.

      Why did I understand who the rapist was and continued to pester him, and even took the initiative to have sex with him in the basement.
      Why are you entangled with your...

      i like her

      What can I say, an amazing movie. French cinema has refreshed my three views again, and it can’t be said to be three views, but it can always open up a new world. This may be due to the strange feeling of incongruity caused by the fact that the French people's peculiar emotional outlook is completely different from the deep-rooted thinking of the Chinese nation. The heroine's principles of life and behavior are simply wow, but I really like the heroine, and I am deeply attracted by the heroine....

      Isabelle Huppert is really a perverted and thirsty female professional. "She" is deeply calculating, teasing men to manipulate girlfriends, hiding her scheming and feelings, turning her hands over her hands like playing games, with a tough body and firm eyes. Deeply written "acting skills" "Two words. As for who has the best acting skills in today's actresses, Europe has Yu Pell, America has Aunt May, Helen Mirren, Julian Moore, winning awards is not the goal, acting well is the pursuit....

      It may be the first time I accept this kind of film. I can't feel the black humor and absurdity mentioned in the comments at all. I always feel that the heroine is a sick person. Forgive me for not understanding it, I will come into contact with this kind of "black humor" and "absurdity" again if I have a chance. If I understand it at that time, I will not give a low...

      Paul Verhoeven is getting old, and so is the "Pride of the Sky" that he was obsessed with, but the configuration of the characters will never change. The heroine sits at the center of charming energy and financial resources. As for the troubles, leave it to God. Get it done. The injured leg and crutches after the car accident increased the degree of pornography in the film by another color code. The house is an important image symbol, and the basement scene is vividly displayed....

      Feminist triumph. She maintains an independent and maneuverable distance from every kind of close relationship. She dispels the endless "male doubts". Father, ex-husband, son, lover, subordinates, neighbors...Almost every kind of crisis can be dealt with by her. Destroying her on the grounds of gender, she does not take the initiative to attack, she can break shackles and prejudice only by being magnanimous and fearless. The ending was a bit vulgar, but the scene was very satisfying. She was...

    Evaluation action

    The greatest achievement of "Elle" is to create Michelle, a woman who can destroy everything. Elle has experienced very special and terrifying events. Elle has different relationships, love, and hatred. Elle is an image that cannot be solidified by type. Therefore, this movie is also not a genre movie that can be summarized, and Hupel's unstoppable momentum to crush his surroundings is also a wonderful experience that cannot be...
