Also immersed in Park Chan-wook's tight and provocative narration style, he approached "The Handmaid's Tale" again. In the discussion of watching the film, some people think that the film is a little procrastinated, the footage is a little long, and there is a little more irrelevant details. They want to make the film exquisite, but lack of suffering is the limitation of the TV series. Storytelling is more important than creating an atmosphere. , so too much rendering is not flattering. The contrast with Park Chan-wook's film "Old Boy" is even more stark. However, there is also a possibility that these two plays represent two gender perspectives, two different narrative methods, and two types of emotional decomposition.
The story of "The Handmaid's Tale" in this fictional ultra-patriarchal social model has almost only one color tone - black, and in the persistent black, I feel extremely depressed.
So, I have a question: women live in radicalized countries and families, serving as reproductive tools for the state and the family. Do men like to read such stories?
In all honesty, watching this film is a very consuming job, you have to think along with the plot, try to resist repression, and even imagine escaping with the heroine. When you see the heroine being raped and try to fall in love with the hero who raped her, you can't just be a spectator and just regret the edited scenes, you will really think about it if it were yourself. Will choose "live".
What's interesting is that I didn't think it was procrastinating at first. The previous generation gave me an example, especially in the section of women's production, the decomposition made by the director made him feel that it was completely unnecessary.
And in my opinion, it is the almost religious reverence of the female director for the central event of production that leads to the sobbing production ritual. The wives of senior officials who are unable to conceive not only have to witness the handmaiden's bonfire with her husband, but also go through the birth process of breathing, exertion, and force with the maids when they give birth, pretending to experience the birth, my God, I can't help I think this movie has some kind of cult vibe.
Later, in the search, it was found that both the original work and the director of the film were women, which is not difficult to explain that the men in this film seem to lack the taste of radiating hormones from the core, but permeate a kind of female despair. If the women in the primitive man's cave waiting for men to return from hunting exude a primitive human flavor, then this film is undoubtedly a complex human flavor after the evolution of women for thousands of years.
