Wild Horses - The Paradoxical Girl Revolution

Jana 2022-04-22 07:01:44

The Bayesian test, which is difficult to achieve in many films, projects gender inequality in mainstream cinema today. The wild horses seen today are not only on the A list, but also reflect themes that are closely related to the status of women. The background of the film is Turkey, which is a Muslim country. Sexism in Muslim countries is particularly serious, but the situation in Turkey, which has been secularized after the Kemal Revolution, is special. That’s why this film has a plot of girls resisting patriarchy. .
Accompanying director Aegwyn grew up in Europe, and she also graduated from a famous French film school. We can see that the filming method of the film is very European, a typical French film. Using a large number of backlight shots to express the beautiful body and vigorous mental posture of the young girl's adolescence, the warm yellow-green tone of the whole film is familiar to other French films. But this way of expressing is indeed a completely oriental story, and the plot will not be repeated, but the two contradictions of the film will be discussed.
The film talks about the girl resisting, but the director shot a lot of shots to show the beauty of the girl's body. The fair skin and slender legs are always exposed to the sun, and the air exudes the sweetness of the girl. The more resistant elements such as women's agility and wisdom are rarely expressed. The five girls can only be reflected in the younger daughter's body, driving and books, and the fragments are pitiful. Perhaps it is the author's thought, one is to satisfy the aestheticism of her study of film shooting techniques in Europe, and she prefers to show the beauty of young girls. The second is that under the oppression of a patriarchal society, girls lack the opportunity to choose, imprisoned girls cannot go to school, and how can they acquire knowledge. In the absence of acquired training, it is difficult to become a great talent even if you are born smart. At the prime of life, there are only flashes of youth and flesh. This is a tragedy, and it can also accuse the inequality of male society. But such an idea is a little too weak.
Weakness is also reflected in another contradiction. A large part of the process of the girl's revolution still relies on the help of Racine, rather than fleeing on the road like a mad flower at the end, but choosing to park the car and wait for rescue; there are also teachers and men. cohabitation. To a certain extent, this also reflects the image that women are difficult to be independent. Maybe this is a concept of the opposite sex complementing each other and coexisting harmoniously. But if you imagine that two girls are self-reliant and use more ingenious wisdom to solve the problem of escape, the theme of women may be more prominent.
Rendered at dusk, Istanbul is unrealistically beautiful, and the patchwork of urban architecture is a new world than the country house full of fences and walls. In the melodious and low sound of the cello, the girl rushed to the teacher's arms, and the picture came to an abrupt end. The seemingly happy ending is terrifying. No matter how much the teacher sympathizes with the students, the girl will be sent back to the cage and will not escape marriage. The environment and destiny have not been improved with the little revolution of the young girl. In the real Muslim country, this is only a microcosm. How to change this situation is thought-provoking.
