——After watching "The Tailor", I haven't settled down to watch a movie for a long time. I just wanted to grab a movie for dinner, but I didn't expect to find a surprising movie. When I saw "The Tailor" starring Winslet, I realized that this movie should not step on thunder. In my understanding, she is like a synonym for the awakening of women's personal consciousness. The last time I remembered her was "Revolutionary" The Road, that really was a movie that completely disillusioned Titanic. The whole movie hits 8 personally. 5 points, with the background of an Australian town in the 1950s, this desert town was originally as dull as a dull gray. There lived a group of mediocre and ordinary town residents. Repeated sunrises and sunsets cover their trouble-free life. Seamstresses bring this town to life with skill and creativity. The retro clothing is elegant and atmospheric like a piece of maverick art. Each set of clothing can't help but pause and appreciate it carefully. The tailored tailoring shows the waist-to-hip ratio, the contrasting colors, and the stitching of various materials. , accessories with fringed feathers, high heels and small hats, lipsticks and manicures, all make the charm of women show incisively and vividly. Especially the two sets of silver-white dresses for the daughter of the commissary and the olive green dress for the bereaved mother are heart-warming. The pinch-waist design and the feathered headgear are particularly shocking under the contrast of the two characters' images, and they are instantly more in-depth. Understand the meaning of women's insistence on maintaining their body and unremitting pursuit of beauty. Although the story is based on the heroine's search for memory to clear up the case for herself, it wraps the core of the awakening of women's personal consciousness. It is rare to use the profession of a seamstress as a breakthrough, and to use the professional connotation of the female symbol and the language expression system of the female to annotate in the male-dominated social value. Should bear the original sin of gender, the so-called "curse", which makes people laugh. Starting with "Searching for Hometown" and ending with "Vengeance", the heroine was exiled by her biological father because of the frame-up, onlookers and silence of the town residents. With a healthy personality, when she chose to return to the town, she was attached to her mother and wanted to complete her self-identification by seeking her roots. Ironically, she, who was bullied and bullied as a child, was already a charming beauty when she returned, attracting the attention and jealousy of the women in the small town. In the small town, she gave her creativity, craftsmanship, kindness, strategy, and love, but in the end she failed miserably. The women who have become beautiful only recognize and use her talents, but they do not recognize her as a person. They are still ridiculing, contemptuous, and indifferent behind their backs; the little wolf dog lover who has just obtained affirmed her with love, but quickly went offline in a mentally retarded way. ; The witch-like mother tried her best to fight people when she lost her love, and she died in the indifferent eyes of her biological father when she turned back; the transvestite police gave the heroine rare friendship and warmth, but also left because of the blame. At the painful price of losing her lover, relatives, and friends, the heroine finds out the truth of the murder case, learns her own life experience, and recognizes the cold-blooded face of the town residents. It boils down to one sentence: the world is not worth it. She has finally cultivated a big heart of bravery and fearlessness. What is "repaying grievance with virtue" or "being more cowardly in the homeland", go to hell, what she has to do is to smash the faces of those people, take revenge, and then Resolutely leave, go to a wider world to find your own place of return. When she was finally dressed neatly, a large roll of red cloth meandered from the top of the mountain to the town. She was born on this red carpet, and she completed her inner self-consistency without any disturbances. The flames rushed along the gasoline on the red carpet to the desolate and gray town, climbed the walls in an instant, licked the indifferent houses with high temperature, and greeted the town residents who returned from the defeat like a clown with the fire that burned everything. . And she has already boarded the train to the unknown destination, burying all the memories that were not worthwhile in the past together with her hometown. Since then, there is no hometown.
