Feminist Awakening in Mary Sue Thriller

I rarely patronize horror movies in theaters, but this time I watched it with my boyfriend. All in all, it's a thriller, and the whole process made me sweat, following the ups and downs of the plot, I was nervous to death. The tone of the opening chapter is quite good, the tone is quiet and depressing, and the atmosphere is relatively depressing. Soon there was a scene where the male protagonist was sleeping with his arms around the female protagonist. When I saw this scene, I immediately turned my head and complained to my boyfriend: You see how much people love their girlfriends, and they still hug and hug them while sleeping. It’s not like you. Would love to kick me out of bed. Then my boyfriend laughed and said to me, you will know later how much he loves her girlfriend.

As the female protagonist fled the male protagonist's large high-end seaside villa in a panic, and climbed the high fence, the female protagonist fled to a friend's house for a while, and then told her long-term experience of being ill controlled by her boyfriend with her friends. The news that the male protagonist committed suicide after the female protagonist escaped. The female protagonist still behaves in a dazzling manner, with a haggard and sick face (thanks to the excellent performance of the female protagonist) So far, I still think that this may be a movie due to long-term suffering. A horrific tale of a man's control over an oppressed woman's psyche. And my idea was overturned when the female protagonist discovered the evidence of the male protagonist's invisibility - the invisibility cloak made by the male protagonist. Of course, the horror, horror, and unknown sense of the whole film also plummeted at this time. In the early stage, the heroine was isolated and helpless, and because she was secretly provoked by an invisible person, the person she trusted most around her just started to help her. She was framed for murder and sent to a mental hospital. The deep despair is the most terrifying, and the story reaches its climax here. And when the truth surfaced, and many normal people and the heroine began to see the invisible person, the audience was relieved - after all, from here, more people began to stand on the heroine's side and join her. After the battle, the later plot is more inclined to the process of the heroine fighting and resisting. The rhythm of the whole film is still well grasped. It is advanced layer by layer, and the horror is not mindless horror. The last two turning points also caught me by surprise. The last one is that the heroine kills the hero, and the end of the movie means the heroine. Deep smile. Although this film seems to be a bit of Mary Sue in terms of the plot setting, I think this is also one of the reasons why this film can only reach the level of a thriller~ A rich, handsome and high-IQ domineering boyfriend loves an ordinary girl , spending so much time, energy and mind entangled to death, at first glance it really looks a bit like the basic setting of Fifty Shades of Grey. . . . It's just that the heroine of Fifty Shades of Grey is submissive and enjoys the sm of the domineering, rich and handsome male protagonist, so the whole movie is happy if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. ending, so Fifty Shades of Grey is a love movie. And this film, sorry, women finally see themselves as individuals, so no matter how handsome you are, rich and intelligent, but you want to imprison me and control me, the old lady doesn't buy your account, the old lady wants independent personality and freedom , so the next thriller is due to the discord between the two husbands and wives. In a sense, this film is also the awakening of feminist consciousness, and it is a kind of progress. It looks like Mary Sue, so don’t complain. I think it is actually criticizing Mary Sue. For me, the horror of this film is an incidental feeling, and more of it arouses my thinking about the relationship between the sexes, and after watching the film, it also triggered a discussion between my boyfriend and me about the relationship between the sexes: how to get along is the best Intimacy is healthy.

I still recommend this movie
