Feminism

1. The Nobel Prize in Literature broke the original balance of family relationships, and thus led to the truth. The wife is talented but not famous, and the husband has social status but no talent, so the two are combined to complement each other, the wife writes but publishes it under the husband's name, and many books have been published in this way over the years.

2. The wife couldn't bear it in her husband's acceptance speech, and finally broke out, venting the resentment and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years, and showing off with her husband.

3. From the background of the times, it is actually the rise of feminism and the decline of male power. In the patriarchal society many years ago, wives had to use their husbands' social status to show their talents. Times have changed slowly, women want to pursue their own social status and launch feminist movements, and wives are also influenced by feminism. The Nobel Prize has become the fuse for the outbreak of the conflict.

4. Feminism is like an overcorrection of the patriarchal society, from "left-leaning" to "right-leaning". Historically, not all societies were patriarchal, and there was also a history of matriarchal society. What kind of social system depends on the current social background. In the era of consumerism in the post-industrial era, women's spending power is far greater than men's (consumption power ranking: women > children > dogs > men), so it is reasonable for mainstream public opinion to favor women.

    The screenwriters are simply disaster artists. Forgive my clumsiness, I really can't see anything feminist in literary design. An active high-ranking junior, an active ghostwriter... When the Nobel Prize was approaching, he couldn't hold back, and forced his husband to death - especially the reversal at the end, which was not a reversal. The rhythm of a typical femme fatale: the Hollywood masculinity narrative symbol that has been widely criticized; it must be said that this is a profile of the repression of women in the era and society, please use the language of the film to express it reasonably, and do not let the audience think about the theme. After making up the background, you have to make up the logic. Even if the script is really meant to portray a "wicked girl", Joe's evaluation of David's study is a variety of clichés - and there is a lack of reconciliation between the situations, and several emotionally strong scenes are arranged too deliberately, with anger and joy: especially the last one In the conflict, the performance and the camera are all in place, but the more in place, the more false it becomes. The book is a bad test of acting skills, and every Glenn Close has dedicated superb performances, but the drama is too fragmented and still can't show the complete characters. I think the best actress Oscar is hanging.

    Glenn Close's mood shift is fantastic. Several Oscar highlights, especially the series of glances and expressions when the light hit her face during her husband's speech, are really amazing.

The Wife quotes

  • Joan Castleman: I can't do it anymore, Joe. I can't do it. I can't take it. I can't take the humiliation of holding your coat and arranging your pills and picking the crumbs out of your beard and being shoved aside with all the other wives to talk about some goddamn shopping trip while you, while you say to all the, the gathering sycophants that your wife doesn't write! Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!

    Joe Castleman: So, if I'm such an insensitive and talentless fucking piece of shit, why the fuck did you marry me?

  • Joan Castleman: There's nothing more dangerous than a writer whose feelings have been hurt.
