3.5. I saw too many people saying they were bored and didn't look at it with much hope, but the impression was not bad. The photography is extremely beautiful, the transitional forest scenery, and the dialogue scenes with only candles as lighting objects create a kind of paradise-like tranquility, and at the same time, they also imply a closed feminist rule. The appearance of the soldiers disrupted the order in this "castle". The three older adult women were attracted on a sexual level, and the three underage young women were attracted on a patriarchal level. At this moment It seems that men are in control of the world again, even in a wounded state. Lust, escape under the pressure of war, everything is undercurrent. On the surface it was a full display of patriarchy when soldiers took control of the ladies with guns, but from the moment they decided to cut their legs, women's rights were dominant again, and the threat of guns was just a small reversal. It's a matter of time before this man is gone. At the end, through the front of the gate, six women are shot holding hands on the stairs, and the foreground is the body of the soldier wrapped in white cloth. This scene is extremely powerful, just as the soldier seeks the position that was originally surrounded by the ladies, the truly powerful ladies. In the end, everything was put back on the right track, back to the state before the soldiers came, closed the door, read and embroidered every day, and could hear the sound of gunfire but continued with a happy life. This group of women is terrifying (it was such a small girl who came up with the idea of killing).
