Looks like "Historical Records • Assassin Biography"? There is a cloud: "Guess that the prince is unavailable: Xia Fuxueyong's face is red in anger; Song Yimaiyong's face is blue in anger; Wuyang's bones are brave, and his face is white in anger. Ke, the brave man, angered but not changed." Michèle may be "angry but not changed" - faced with this fucking life.
"Dealing" with the rapist's neighbor, a weak son, and an incompetent ex-husband, who only regards her as a tool man's lover, and a best friend who values friendship more. The selfish mother who threatened and took it for granted, the mother Xiao Xianrou fiancé who spoke ill of her, the murderer father who was afraid of meeting her and committed suicide, and watched her raped but unmoved and the cat that ate the injured bird.
She treats all injustice, malice, anger so calmly. In other words, the "normal women" in the film all deal with this fucking life calmly: Michèle, the heroine boss, her best friend (the same boss), and the female neighbor (Catholic). In the film, all the men and the heroine's mother, the girlfriend of the heroine's son appear to be either incompetent or weak or abnormal?
She doesn't believe in the "protection of the people" by public power (if it can only be punished after the fact, it is better to take revenge by enduring bureaucratic formalities to expose her own scars), and she is fed up with the media's proud public opinion and Its nature is profit-seeking, and it wants to eat the flesh, skin and blood of people who are "the focus of the public" (childhood shadow elle en a marre).
She has her own judging system, and her indifference to the "incredible evil of life" is precisely because she is calm and self-controlled under the iceberg - everything depends on solving the problem - not everyone can do it, how many women are homeless in the restaurant? The harassing man will be furious after dumping food scraps on his body instead of finishing it casually 4⃣️, how many women can a murderer father - vampire mother - weak son - incompetent domestic violence her ex-husband (divorce because of «tu m'as frappée » ) under the environment of breaking through, and teaming up with girlfriends to form a game company to become the domineering president la patronne succeeded?
Why is the main character a woman? If the protagonist is a man, it is easy for the audience to fall into a "mid-life crisis": in the cliché stereotypes such as economic downturn, family discord, etc., the part that makes the audience think deeply about "evil in life" is naturally missing - everyone Busy empathizing with their own experiences and reflecting on the meaning of life. But Elle, a woman, a single middle-aged wealthy and hard-working elite woman, is a paradoxical combination of the physically vulnerable and the spiritually strong. The rapist hurt her body, the little fresh meat raised by her mother used her past events to speak ill of her after her death, her son called her a slut, and the male subordinate thief called to catch a thief to destroy her reputation... but they couldn't really hurt her spirit and soul. Cautious about her behavior, I think my own anger is shallow.
When I watched "Instinct", I felt that Paul Verhoeven could meet and maintain the gimmick and rhythm of commercial films, while expounding what he wanted to express from multiple angles. In other words, readers could interpret from multiple perspectives. The ELLE I saw; this is not a judicial film, calling for justice (instead, don't give a shit to justice), not a revenge film, the heroine counterattacks Shuangwen to punish scum, but a person who has experienced life. After the evil, give the middle finger to life?? Then continue to live. Life kisses me with pain, and I kiss back with pain?? How long does it take to cultivate such an independent and steady soul?
If the teacher allows, they all want to do a law or French graduation thesis on the topic of gender equality or the comparison of rape and criminal justice systems. Sometimes, the love or anger of a certain thing, the driving force of people and the inspiration that stimulates my thoughts, are not the same.
In terms of freedom of speech, the film was supposed to be shot in the United States, but the degree of freedom in the United States is also very poor (also??), so it was shot in Europe. Europe, the land of literary films?? Thank you for your presence
