It's not actually a feminist or women's independence show.

This movie isn't feminism, it's existentialism

For example, what attitude does she have towards her neighbors, whether she likes it, is angry, and wants revenge?

In fact, she herself has no clear choice. In one scenario, she likes it, in another scenario, she is angry, in another scenario, she wants to take revenge, and in another scenario, she regrets it.

For example, a husband who cheated on his best friend, just because he thought the time was right, and later admitted to his friend, there was not much reason. If he wanted to do it, he did it.

In fact, the meaning of existence is also the same. There is no strict logic behind every behavior and every choice.

All human behaviors are improvised performances in the moment, and explanations after the fact are just a construction of the past.
