empathy

I felt very sad to see my friend forced to kiss a strange boy in exchange for the fare, and when the heroine was asked private questions, I felt her sensitivity and helplessness. When the hostess called her mother in the bathroom, a sense of suffocation came to her mind. Even if abortion is not touched upon, it is not uncommon for the topic of fertility to be judged against women. A girl in my neighbor, one year younger than me, told me a few years ago that her mother said that she had an uncle's girlfriend, and her face was sallow, and she took too many birth control pills.

The topic of teenage abortion has entered everyone's field of vision with the popularity of domestic youth dramas in the past few years, but it does not mean that the mainstream accepts to talk about it. This is a worldwide debate, even political. My first exposure to very detailed descriptions of abortion was probably in high school when I was reading sadness against the river, and I couldn't remember the details but felt very scared. Every time this topic is talked about, women themselves feel shame and fear about the issue, while more men's groups are raging criticism. My friends and I have not had this experience. My mother experienced it once because of family planning, and it may be different from this situation. But I was asked if I had had an abortion by a man I didn't know well, and he said that it was okay to live with an ex, but not to have an abortion. Someone once said on Zhihu that being with someone who has an ex is like living in a second-hand house, but being with someone who has had an abortion is like living in a house where someone died. The fertility of women, when the society needs it, is considered to need to actively give birth to solve the problem of declining fertility rate, when it is necessary to control the population, it is necessary to control birth, or even be forced to suspend birth. Women themselves do not have the right to decide. Abortion will be humiliated, condemned by public opinion and morality. Dink will be regarded as incomplete and not responsible for society. I have no interest in politics, and I have feelings for this film because of the common joys and sorrows of mankind. I don't like the feminist movement, because many people take this as a label of their own, a label that is avant-garde and open. In addition, many people oppress vulnerable women in the name of feminism. For example, being gentle is defined as having no opinion, being weak is defined as being weak, and choosing to be a housewife is considered a loss of self. Shouldn’t genuine concern for women be to accept and include all kinds of women and respect their choices? Because many in the name of feminism have formed alliances with the so-called support of homosexual groups, suppressing the aesthetics and behavior of straight men, and even suppressing the group of straight women, groups are inherently diverse, and behaviors and events should be targeted, not a certain group. .

    #70thBerlinale# Main Competition Jury Award, has won the Sundance American Drama Unit Special Jury Award. The finish is pretty good and the photography is great. The heroine Sidney Flanigan appeared in a movie for the first time to such an extent that she had to admire Hittman's ability to train actors. "Never, rarely, sometimes, often" this long shot is the highlight of the film, which shows the director and acting skills. With this long shot and the two scenes of punching the nose and trying to abort herself, it is not impossible for Sidney Flanigan to get a Berlin actress in the first scene... But in the film, the two girls have to carry an oversized luggage when they go out for three days. The box is a typical prop specially designed to create scheduling (manufacturing difficulties in action). If this film fails to win the award, it will be largely blamed on the box... In addition, the play of the film can still be more ruthless... And the "male misogyny" that deliberately writes all male characters as scumbags or hideous, starts to move towards the opposite of #metoo.

    It's really like a variant of "Three Weeks and Two Days in April", but it lacks the Mongi-esque social background laying, and focuses more on women's suffering before sexual violence and abortion, but it's well shot - no The plot of dog blood, instead, expresses in a smooth and unwavering way how this painful problem penetrates into daily life; underage women are especially prone to fall into the weaker side of the body and economy, and everything is unbearable in "Never, rarely, Sometimes, always" appears, which is distressing. The mutual assistance between women is a touch of warmth in the world; the boy who strikes up a conversation with the second woman complements the theme on the side.
