Recently, #me too# triggered by the Weinstein incident in Hollywood in the United States has fermented to my country. The public welfare circle and the media circle have set off a wave of anti-sexual assault.
In fact, in a patriarchal society, when a woman is sexually assaulted, the victim suffers a lot of criticism. There are many people who think that the scantily clad, the lack of active resistance, the voluntariness of power and sex trade... These all make the victim a little "deserved".
Moreover, due to the sound self-awareness of adults, how to define sexual assault and willingness, and how to judge the truth of sexual assault, is also more difficult.
In the movie, there are not only the themes of this aspect, but also the sexual assault incidents caused by the filming of movies and TV series, and the protagonists are not lacking in Hollywood's top superstars. Below, Er Qian has selected three for everyone, hoping to arouse everyone's thinking and attention.
1. "Last Tango in Paris"
This movie has a sexual assault plot, but what really caught our attention is the "fake drama" in the movie.
This film is absolutely master-level in terms of director and actors. The director is the Italian director Berlutocchi, who won seven Oscars for directing "The Last Emperor". The starring is the famous Marlon Brando. The story is about a sadomasochistic love between the middle-aged writer played by Brando and the heroine Maria. , and in the second half of the film, Brando assaulted Maria, who was only 16 years old at the time, with her buttered hands.
And Berutocchi admitted in 2012 that this clip was shot for real, and without the consent of Maria, Brando did not apologize for it in the end, until Marlon Brando died in 2004, he did not Apologizing to the victim is also a major stain in the life of the "Godfather" that will never be erased.
2. "Letterhead Story"
This film is about children being sexually abused, and this tragic experience has been with the protagonist for the rest of her life. As an adult, she has never been able to recognize the unbearable past. This film teaches the audience to think: how to face the perpetrators of rhetoric, how to recognize true love and deception?
The film is based on a true story, and director Jennifer Fox brings her own experiences from childhood and beyond to the big screen.
When Jennifer was 13 years old, she met track and field coach Bill because of participating in the equestrian training camp. Bill first made Jennifer feel the warmth that she could not experience at home, and then slowly tricked her into lying in love with her, and implemented it step by step sexual assault. The scary thing is: in the process, Bill used various methods to change Jennifer's perception, making her think that the bestiality he did to her was to help her mature and help her grow into a more perfect woman.
So many years later, the grown-up Jennifer still thinks Bill really loves her. This is actually the most terrifying. When a person cannot recognize that what he has suffered is hurt, he will not only protect the perpetrator, but will also do similar harm to others, because she thinks these are normal, but she does not know that this Has deeply changed the bottom line of his life, just like Jennifer cheating with others after adulthood.
In the end, Jennifer realized that it was his boyfriend who was hurt. Therefore, this film also tells parents that they must explain a lot of things to their children, don't be ashamed to talk about it, and don't trust your own children too much Friends, even teachers, Jennifer's mother trusts Bill too much in the movie, and her own children are taken away from home by him again and again for abuse.
More terrifying than beasts are thinking beasts.
3. "Reincarnation of the Sea of Desire"
This film also has a prototype that can be traced back, and it is about how much trust we have in acquaintances and friends when it comes to children. The film focuses on the famous Italian female painter Artemisia, who is sexually assaulted by her father's friend.
But in the Renaissance era where she lived, patriarchal awareness of this matter was still limited by "love between two people", and finally, thanks to her efforts, the public finally realized the difference between love and sexual assault (although she had The father's friends admired and attached), and also put the perpetrators on trial.
Looking at this now, it is very rare for Europe, which has just ended the dark medieval period, to recognize sexual assault fairly and to treat love and harm differently.
May we all take sexual assault seriously and say no to unlawful assaults.
