This film is not a reaction to feminism.
Although it has a focused criticism of Catherine Hepburn’s Tracy (ex-husband Dax’s large lines in the dressing room, fiancé George’s seemingly praised side evidence, and father’s rage), this criticism is not directed at women. Independence, but from the perspective of human beings, point out the mistakes that a new generation of independent women may make-[overly self-centered, self-adored, portraying themselves as inaccessible goddesses, thus losing sympathy and compassion for others . Whether we can think about problems from the standpoint of others is an important basis for us to judge whether a person is a person. ]
Dax said in a large paragraph in the dressing room that "there are more and more women like you in the United States", which also shows that this line is not just for Tracy alone, it is A gentle reminder to independent women, reminding them to realize themselves while reducing harm to others.
In fact, the entire film has used a large number of lines and hidden information to create complex character characters. Through the lens arrangement and the ending of the story, it gives clear evaluations and praises to the ex-husband Dykes, reporter Mike, and fiance George. This evaluation is even more important. To a large extent it is about their values.
This shows the creator’s attitude. It should explain what is true humanbeing love: it has nothing to do with class, knowledge and gender. It needs to break social stereotypes and bad habits (abandon the relationship between husband and wife under traditional morality) and be yourself (be yours) At the same time, he has compassion and compassion, and handles his relationship with his lover in the American spirit of suspicion.
Only in this way can love be real and long-lasting. From this it seems that the final marriage to Dax is the inevitable ending of its own dramatic tension and character. Only he and her grew up together, and there is a tacit understanding between quarrels and performances. Only after he experienced his first marriage with her, he had a comprehensive reflection, patience and wisdom. .
The significance of this film is beyond the era it belongs to, and its complicated lines should not be simplified or distorted by the synopsis.
PS: The passage in the library where the librarian speaks Old English. Tracy talked about the Chinese poet who drowned after kissing the moon in the water at the dinner (it should be Li Bai, this statement was even spread overseas). It was surprising.

writing the above comments, I suddenly feel that it is still very inappropriate.
The reporter Macaulay is actually very important in this film. He is an outstanding author who needs to work for low-level fun magazines to support his family. The ambiguous relationship between him and the photographer and the overnight passion with Tracy are both The outstanding feature of this film.
His existence is also the complexity of this film, which makes this film simply have the absurdity of life itself rather than the rationality of a feature film.
