"Aphrodite's Revenge. 』

At first I saw that this movie was labeled as an erotic movie, and it was inextricably linked with the novel of the same name, Venus in Furs, by the novelist Marsock who invented the word "sadistic". I thought this movie would have multiple mouths. In fact, Polanski played high-end inner dramas. The last time I watched Polanski's work was the 2011 film "The Killing". It was also a story that happened in a scene. It was four people fighting each other with swords and arrows. This time, there were only two people. It took more than 90 minutes, the climax of every second, the frenzied and passionate performance, the metaphor of the play within the play, and the dramatic conflict brought about by the exchange of roles. Quite bullshit.
In the tug-of-war between women's rights and men's rights, male directors and actresses once swapped roles and strayed between drama and reality. Like a surgeon with a scalpel, Polanski uses a precise scalpel to cut through the disguise of human nature. The actor's performance is meticulous, and under the step-by-step provocation of the actress, the male director's hidden desires are invisible. At the end of the film, the subtitle "The Lord punished him and handed him into the hands of a woman"...
A story that takes place in a scene (space) can make a movie. This is not Polanski’s patent. I have seen some similar movies, such as “12 Angry Men”, “Rear Window”, “Darkness Like the Moon”, and “Butterfly” "Killing", "Dream into Reality"... In fact, if the script of this type of film is not good enough, it will make people feel boring and unwatchable, so it is a test of the director's skill. Full of tension is the way to guide the development of the plot. The only magic weapon to attract the audience. Polanski is addicted to playing such movies. "Murder" tells the story of several middle-class parents who pretended to be hysterical from the initial civilization for the sake of their children, and portrayed the ugly side of human nature in nuanced detail. It was fun, and the audience was hooked. Both actors performed very well this time, especially the actress. At the beginning, Wanda came to the theater to audition. We, like the male director, felt that this vulgar woman was very annoying, but once she entered the film, her performance made the "director" And the audience were dumbfounded, a perfect goddess with perfect insight and a sense of humor, attracting both male directors and moviegoers. It is said in the movie that "love is like politics, there is always one party in power", and the game between the sexes is also unfolding in the play. Wanda wants to quit acting, and the male director grotesquely begs her to come back. The director should have been in control of the actors, but this At times, the roles switched. It's not easy to be a minister under the skirt, but they all said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the plot at the end of the film also reached a climax, but the actress walked away, leaving behind the tied male director and the empty theater, and it came to an abrupt end. . It can be described as unfulfilled.
The soundtrack at the beginning and end of the film is also quite fascinating. I insisted on watching the last second. There are many oil paintings of Eros at the end of the film. It seems that feminism is a little deeper. Ps Because the god of love is called "Venus" in Rome and "Aphrodite" in Greece, this text is named "Aphrodite's Revenge".
