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.

    It's always been very good - the needle is hidden in the cotton, slowly advancing, and clues are gradually revealed - until the outbreak of the climax scene, overturning all the emotions and logic accumulated before: if the truth behind the matter is really so unspeakable, the wife is so humiliated, and the husband is again It is so shameless that the perfect couple we have seen before is difficult to establish, and it is difficult to believe that the wife has only carried, or even cared for, huge unwillingness and injustice for so many years without fermentation at all.

    Very good subject matter, Close put the entanglement and forbearance of the relationship with her husband from marriage to cooperation, the attitude of the mother who is talented and willing to be a knife catcher, and the mother's unrecognized and untrue words of thanks. The contradiction between the two tortured, has been shown. Well acted, but feel bad for the character.

The Wife quotes

  • Elaine Mozell: Don't ever think that you can get their attention.

    Young Joan: Whose?

    Elaine Mozell: The men. Who write the reviews. Who run the publishing houses. Who edit the magazines. The ones who decide who gets to be taken seriously, who gets to be put up on a pedestal for the rest of their lives.

    Young Joan: A writer has to write.

    Elaine Mozell: A writer has to be read, honey.
