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, is angry but not the same." Michèle may be "angry but not the same" - facing the life of this shit.

"Dealing with" Yu's neighbor, a weak son, and an incompetent ex-husband, who only regards her as a tool man's lover, a girlfriend who values ​​friendship more, and puts her face on the male subordinate of the female NPC who was raped , a selfish mother who takes her family as a threat and takes it for granted, a mother Xiao Xiancé who speaks ill of her, a murderer father who is afraid of meeting her and commits suicide, watching her being raped but unmoved and eating the injured bird pet cat. She treats all injustice, malice, anger so calmly. In other words, the "normal women" in the film are all calm about the life of this fucker: the heroine, the overbearing president, Michèle, her best friend (the same overbearing president), 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-making, and it can't wait to eat the flesh, the skin and the blood of people who are "the focus of the public". 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-sufficient under the iceberg - everything depends on solving the problem - this kind of mentality is not for everyone, and few women can be in a restaurant The harassed man dumps food scraps on his body and then he will deal with it as if nothing had happened. 4⃣️, few women can rape her ex-husband when the murderer's father - vampire mother - weak son - incompetent domestic violence (the reason for divorce is domestic violence? «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": the cliché stereotypes such as economic downturn and family discord naturally lack the part that makes the audience think deeply about "evil in life" - everyone is busy Empathize with your own experiences and reflect 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 criminals hurt her body, the little fresh meat raised by her mother used the past to speak ill of her after her death, her son called her a slut, and the male subordinate thief called to catch a thief and ruin her reputation... but they couldn't really hurt her spirit and soul. . Cautious about her behavior, I think my own anger is shallow.

When watching "Instinct", I felt that Paul Verhoeven could meet and maintain the gimmick and rhythm of commercial films, while expounding ideas from multiple dimensions. In other words, readers can interpret what they see from multiple levels and angles. ELLE; this is not a judicial film, calling for justice (instead, don't give it a shit), it is not a revenge film, the heroine counterattacks Shuangwen to punish scum, but a person who has experienced the evil of life, right Life gives the middle finger?? and then continues to live the film. 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 write a graduation thesis on the topic of gender equality or the comparison of various judicial systems for the crime of rape and crime. Sometimes, the love or anger of a certain thing, the driving force and the inspiration of people, are not the same.

The reason is that this film was originally shot in the United States, but the United States was also very poor (also??), so it came to Europe to shoot. Europe, the land of literary films?? Thank you for your presence
