      Rebellion and the Oppressed Narrative: EVA, V for Vendetta, The Handmaid's Tale

      If a crime documentary is to be made, by intuition, should there be more information on the perpetrator, or more information on the victim? Obviously it should be the perpetrator, because in the model of [crime-victim], the victim is universal and has no particularity. He does not have to be a very special person, and is usually simplified to an "ordinary person".

      But the perpetrator is abnormal and special, so more attention will be given to the...

      What are we talking about when we talk about feminism?

      I keep thinking that, funny thing is, a lot of people take "feminism" as the totalitarianism of women and completely misunderstand the meaning of the word. In fact, the difference between men and women determines everything from the difference in the organs of men and women, and feminism means that women, as human beings, are also part of the children of the earth. They limit a lot of their freedom and rights because of people's inherent thinking. The meaning of feminism It's about how women...

      The Handmaid's Tale, a horror story from hell

      The Handmaid's Tale is a horror story set in hell. We think that we are in a civilized society, but in fact, we are only allowed to have civilization, but because of the current social process, civilization is more conducive to the rule of the ruler, so the ruler who holds the armed force and the power of the state is willing to generously disguise Just a well-dressed gentleman. If the development of human society comes to the point where the ruling class with absolute armed forces judges...

      history and reality

      Sometimes I think about what happened two or three hundred years ago. The so-called innovation or conservativeness at that time might just be reversed from the current perspective. I rewatched the first season of The Handmaid these days and saw a lot of irony. The Mayflower brought the first batch of new immigrants to North America. With the advancement of production and development, the conflicts between the colonies of the New World and the British monarchy became more...

      Tale-[S1]: This story actually happened around

      Through the eyes of a handmaid, "The Handmaid's Tale" describes how people are reduced to "social tools" in a religious totalitarian country. Here, everyone lives under strict surveillance, especially women, who are defined as "national property" and allocated to upper-class men for use. Here, women are not literate, let alone work. They are cultivated into different social tools according to different functions. Some became fertility tools for upper rulers, some became vase spouses, and...

      I haven't read it before so I can't rate it. Now that the magical reality has appeared, the more I think about it in the morning, the more I get angry. In the early years, women were treated as wombs, advocating heroic mothers, and desperately letting women have children. Later, when labor was needed, it was said that women could hold up half the sky, and all women were drawn out to study and work. Now that there is a surplus of labor, and it is suspected that women are taking men's jobs, and...
