This film was made in 1991. Naturally, the review of this film is relatively old. If I watched this film in 20 years, as a man, I would not only feel sadness for women, but also pity for men.
Seeing that a lot of feminists here are already gearing up, but I am a thorough egalitarian and don't take sides, starting this article on the premise.
You may find in this film that Mr. Chen has never shown his full face from beginning to end, but is only in black clothes, and his characters are completely shaped by language. In my opinion, this is the best operation of this film.
Perhaps at the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese masses focused on the repression and anti-repression of women, while ignoring the role of men in this battle.
And "Raise the Red Lantern" gives a good answer.
If a woman's love for the world, persistence in love, or yearning for power is like this red light, then the male power represented by Master Chen is like this deep-walled compound.
It's just that women have no choice in this film, nor do men, and they have nothing to do with love. They are just bricks and tiles in this big wall instead of flesh and blood. "Old rules", not Mr. Chen's. If he really wants to change, he does have more power than Concubine Wufang, but he won't, because he is already a speck of ashes in this feudalism, insignificant. Choose which yard to turn on the lights, turn off the lights and seal the lights.
So what do we need as men in the new century?
Here I have to mention another movie from the same era-
This is one of my favorite romance films, and his second one, "Love at Dusk and Sunset", competes with him for the first place.
The reason for love is because he told us what kind of love we need now in the fast-paced era of the Internet in the 21st century (of course you can also admire other loves, this is a matter of personal preference, not that you like "Sweet" Honey" is wrong).
However, you will find that the women in these new era films are born with strong ego and feminism, not men's playthings.
It is true that feminism has negative effects on men, such as competition between educational resources and work resources.
But are you really eager to get back to that compound?
Do not.
Why, because we are a new generation, we understand that women are not just husbands and children, we understand that women are not just reproductive tools, but essential life partners in almost all men's lives (except gay groups), their love for men It has the function of guiding the direction of life and casting the sword of the soul.
And in the courtyard of "High Red Lanterns", to put it bluntly, there is only naked sex. As mentioned in one of the short reviews, there are no naked scenes in the whole film, but it is all about sex.
Love without sex wilts, and sex without love is no different than a prostitute.
Therefore, men's call for equal rights is not only to maintain the rights of women, but also to need the equal love of each other, and to give this love——
Only women with equal rights.
The lights are turned off and the lights are sealed, and the lamp hall enters the room.
The old man or the second master, the master is pathetic.
