Since having moviepass, my probability of going to the cinema has been greatly improved. So I also watched a lot of native American comedies that I would never have watched.
This type of comedy has some characteristics. They are all focused on the lives of Americans. Some worry about how parents block their children for the first time, and some elderly women fall in love (not middle-aged women, but 60 or 70-year-old women). Grandma), there are also talks about how a middle-aged divorced aunt re-enters school to go to college.
Not a superhero, not a chick movie, not an independent movie of Literary Baba, this series of movies feels like opening the door to a new world to me.
Take Blockers as an example.
Just gave me a sex education class. When I watched it, I even thought it would be great if it were my mother. Appropriate intervention, let go with peace of mind.
The topic of the film is very simple, but very interesting. Several parents met to stop their daughter from papapa for the first time. The contestants are as follows. The first one who came to us was a mixed-race girl with an Indian mother and a brawny father. The second team was heroic and undefeated by the single mother and her beautiful blonde girl. The last team was the parents. After the divorce, my father looked like an irresponsible idiot and a big breasted girl.
The popular science prom is a very important coming-of-age ceremony in American high schools, and many people will have sex on this day to show that they are grown up. In fact, hormones are already prepared under normal circumstances. If it were not for the depression of the college entrance examination, the journey of sexual liberation for our classmates would not be too late.
When the blonde girl told her good friend that she was going to be at the prom for the first time, the other two also expressed their envy and jealousy to do the same. That's the plan. The blonde girl wants to talk to her handsome boyfriend, and the other two have no boyfriends, so she talks to her dancing partner: a character boy with a pigtail and a fat boy.
This side is just set, and the parents of that side have long been eager to make a plan to protect their little princess. Why do girls need protection for the first time and boys not? There is a bit of sexism here, but of course this is a digression.
They followed all the way and did a lot of ridiculous things. The scene changed from the dance party to the continuation party in the villa, and then from the villa to the hotel.
Finally, the brawny father stopped his daughter's first time, half of the time, and pushed away the braided brother; the big-breasted girl came out with the irresponsible father, and the father said that he had guessed it.
The most intriguing is the blond girl’s mother. When she saw the condom on the table and the rose on the bed sheet (this was prepared by the girl’s friend), she heard the conversation that the blond girl had just entered the hotel room with her little boyfriend. . She was relieved, and finally chose to slip away quietly. In fact, the reason she was worried was because she had a relationship with her boyfriend when she was young and neglected her studies. As a result, she became a single mother. She is afraid that her daughter will repeat the same mistakes. This is easy to understand.
But she finally chose to believe. She believed that girls also have the freedom to decide. This is no big deal, and there is no shame.
This reminds me of the dead Taiwanese female writer Lin Yihan. She recalled her adolescence in Fang Siqi’s First Love Paradise, a memoir-like novel. She asked her mother why there was no sex education in our family, and she told her She only needs sex education for people who need sex. The implication is that you are a good boy, you don't need sex, and you don't need sex education.
As a result, the good boy was not only sexually assaulted by the teacher for a long time, but even rationalized the assault into love in order to cover up the sense of shame. Eventually, he developed depression and ended his life early.
Is sex really wrong? Or is education wrong?
Is sex really ugly? Or is it more repressive?
This film touched me deeply. I remembered that my only sex education was when my mother reminded me that I would have menstruation when I was 13 or 14 years old. Then when I was in college, I had been with my regular boyfriend for two years, and I was influenced by an expert who told me that "the first time for a girl is the best gift for her in-laws."
I was stunned by my mother's concept of the last century. But in our country, there are still many parents who hold this concept.
When it comes to sex, we should all pay the highest tribute to this American mother who sneaked out of the room.
After watching the movie, I communicated with my American friend. He asked me, have you noticed the rooster on the movie poster? In the United States, the rooster is also pronounced: cock. This is really a terrible name. he told me.
However, this is really a movie that every Chinese parent should watch, I thought.
