Reminder: High-energy spoilers ahead.
1 Never complain, rarely resist
Different from the previous performers in the campus performance, Autumn held the guitar alone on the stage and sang to herself, "he makes me do things I don't want to do",
Suddenly, someone under the stage humiliated Autumn. The sudden interruption made Autumn panic on stage. He stopped and looked at his parents with a look of help, only to find that his father looked at him blankly, and the surrounding audience He didn't react too much, and remained silent. His mother nodded slightly to signal him to continue performing. After making some adjustments, Autumn continued to sing on stage with a trembling voice.
The "slut humiliation" at the beginning of the film, why did no one come forward to stop it? Why do people ignore this blatant attack on a girl who is still underage?
Recently, Korean actor Kim Heechul's speech in a variety show has been hotly searched, causing everyone's debate. Kim Heechul said in the show that his two friends in the entertainment industry who had a good relationship because of the pressure of public opinion, chose one extreme road.
When they were alive, in fact, discussions about the two actresses and some disgusting comments were often seen in domestic hot searches. Kim Heechul also said that what was even more infuriating was that these people began to shirk their responsibilities after the incident. Complaining is the responsibility of the show, so the guns are aimed at other places, but I am playing mourning on the Internet.
Seeing this farce behind the incident, I couldn't help laughing and crying. Sometimes people don't just humiliate women, but they attack anyone they don't like. The reason is that they always give themselves an explanation.
After the helpless Autumn finished singing, she sat in a daze in the restaurant. Her mother saw what was on her mind and hoped that her husband would encourage her daughter. However, it seemed that her father's attitude was no different from the others. Autumn got up in anger and poured water on her. The person who humiliated himself just now.
When Autumn came home, she took off her shirt and looked at her little belly in the mirror. The emotions on her face were elusive. She looked like a teenager and re-examined her body. Every flaw would be magnified and become a reason for inferiority.
In the blink of an eye, Autumn went to the hospital the next day for a pregnancy test, and the results were as expected. Instead of the hysteria seen in other youth films, Autumn wears a nose ring herself with a paperclip. Such a violent way is handled calmly by the protagonist, and Autumn's character is slowly revealed.
Autumn and her cousin, Skylar, were working in the supermarket. When they were going to pay the bill, Skylar was touched and kissed by the staff behind the counter. back. The identity of the man was a little suspicious at this moment.
In the locker room, Sylay asked Autumn a thought-provoking but common question: Have you ever thought about being a man.
Most people have thought about the issue of gender reversal. Including the recent hot search for eating melons, comments on many issues have begun to discuss "gender privilege". This is a good start, and debate is the process of problem solving. .
But also from this question, this film uses the psychological externalization of women to calmly show part of the problem. All the genders in this film seem to be competing against each other, mother and father, father of daughter, two sisters and men they meet.
This is not extreme performance, but it is all the more jarring to put all the behaviors that we take for granted in our lives on the screen.
After the second check-up confirmed that she was pregnant, the doctor asked Autumn to listen to the heartbeat of life in her belly. It was different from the joy of a normal mother. This kind of heartbeat was difficult to face in the ears of Autumn, who was still a child. She put her head away. past. When she got home and faced herself in the mirror again, Autumn began to show obvious emotions, silently weeping, beating her stomach, punching punch after punch.
2 Compromise sometimes, always get used to
Autumn had to brace herself for this unexpected problem, and her Pennsylvania state law requires a parent to know and accompany an abortion, so Autumn and her cousin Skylar decided to embark on the road to New York for an abortion together.
When paying the bill at the last job, Skylar resolutely hid part of the money as the travel expenses for the two sisters. This time, Skylar did not resist when he was kissed by the teller. Autumn on the side showed a surprised expression.
On the car leaving for New York, a sunny boy approached Skylar and left his contact information.
After arriving at the New York hospital, Autumn thought everything was going well, but she needed to be transferred because of her pregnancy cycle. The two sisters had to drag their luggage to Manhattan.
A well-dressed man on the subway stared at the two of them maliciously, and Autumn hurriedly got off with his cousin. "Visual rape" is a term that has been defined in recent years, and most girls (and boys too) recall being raped at some point.
However, this kind of behavior can only be condemned morally, and it is difficult to take real punishment measures, which makes the "crime" more unscrupulous.
The next scene is also ironic, with a live chicken locked up in a game console for boring games. "The chicken wins" appeared on the screen, asking what the hell did the chicken win as a commodity?
Also like a commodity, there are two sisters. The two sisters spent all their money in one day, but Skylar had no choice but to compromise and contact the big boy who was chatting up in the car.
After the three met and started to play, the boy showed an obvious "favorite" towards Skylar, and Skylar also used this favorable impression to make up a very naive lie to borrow money from the boy, and the boy understood all this and took the opportunity to take it away. Skylar.
Autumn didn't stop this from happening because she needed the money. Autumn was waiting anxiously, fidgeting, Autumn got up to look for her sister, saw Skylar being kissed by the boy against the wall, Autumn quietly walked over, silently raised Skylar's little finger with her little finger, the two girls at this moment Support each other, become one, feel each other's emotions.
In the film, there seems to be no safety barrier. Everything is simple but complicated. A girl who knows how to sell her beauty in exchange for her needs. The film is only recorded from an objective point of view, and there is no subjective tendency.
The funny thing is that we watched this scene in the film, but we forgot that one of the functions of the film at the beginning was also "labeling society".
The image of early Hollywood films is the most prominent. Feminist film researchers pointed out that the language of films in the past was constructed by men, and they consciously placed the main gender of the audience on men. representation of the female figure.
Imperceptibly, female audiences are slowly taking this image as a model. With the collision of social thoughts, this phenomenon is gradually weakening.
The title of the film was unveiled at the end of an hour. Autumn was sitting in the consulting room, receiving pre-surgery questions. The seemingly innocuous questions hit Autumn like stones.
In the question about gender issues, Autumn, who has always been ruthless, was slowly defeated. The flustered Autumn recalled the past of the sexual partner who had never had a specific image, and wept like a child.
In our Q&A, we saw all the violence that Autumn suffered in the relationship between the two sexes, and Autumn had to endure all of this in silence, both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, Autumn and Skylar, who had experienced all this, sat safely on the return bus. The tired Autumn closed his eyes and rested. The sun was like an angel's embrace, wrapping Autumn. When we saw Autumn's tender face, we remembered that they too. 17 years old.
This is the journey of two 17-year-old girls to kill a life with their own hands, and the root of all this is also the social difference between men and women. It is the age that needs guidance, but is wrapped in all kinds of unease around him. The camera downplayed all of this to the greatest extent possible, but the opening sentence always sounded in my heart: He's got the power of …
