A little idea of ​​the difference between watching the movie and the public

Aside from the fact that the Windsor couple are pro-Nazis in the real history, let’s talk about the film’s setting. The film is a double heroine (probably), and I don’t want to talk about the modern heroine (I don’t feel like there is anything to talk about, over and over it is to give up the work husband The old stalk of cheating and domestic violence), just talking about Ms. Walis and Edward balls. First of all, as a married woman, seducing a male lead with a fixed partner is a real hammer. No matter what the reason is, the indiscretions are indiscreet. ). But in this relationship, the heroine is actually in a weak position (although she herself is the one who takes the initiative to attack). At first, it was probably the male protagonist who hooked up with hormones + passion + stimulation, and the male protagonist also moved the true feelings. It is well known that this shameful incident made a big splash in the news. The heroine was condemned and opposed by the secular world, and the morality of human beings as a group animal was restrained. That's it for the two of them. However, Goose Maruko has been deeply involved in it and cannot extricate herself. She must marry her, and then she abdicated: "Love beauty but not the country". Okay, the whole world was shocked, and this heroine was scolded to death by the official and unofficial people all over the world. From the time Maruko fell in love with her, they really couldn't turn back on this journey. Not because of anything else, because the power positions of these two people are completely unequal. The heroine also thought about the impact of their incident, not only the impact on the world, but also on their own lives, and felt that it was painful to be separated, but it was good for everyone. But Maruko thinks that you love me and I love you and we must be together. In the whole relationship, the heroine has no choice at all, it's all about how the balls come. Retirement is also a direct resignation regardless of whether the heroine agrees or not. After marriage, the male protagonist cannot participate in anything related to politics, and his future is ruined. The heroine was rejected by all the upper classes, without the right to remarry, without freedom, and the whole world still scolds her. The two of them are left with only each other, consuming each other while avoiding the frantic tracking of the media and the criticism from all over the world. Maslow's lowest need is survival, the highest is self-realization. They are in a class that never has to worry about the lowest needs and could have pursued the highest. But Maruko may regard the realization of self-worth as love. As a result, both were destroyed. The core of the tragedy I see is not simply because of lack of love or women's rights. The film itself wants to express the weakness of women's rights, but in them I only see the tragedy caused by the inequality of status and power. The heroine can't refuse and is scolded by the whole world, not because she is a woman, but because she does not have the same status and power To not accept what Maruko did for her (abdicate) and start a new life. Imagine that even if the heroine is very tired with Maruko and doesn't want to be with him, can she still live a normal life? Which man would dare to marry her? Where would dare to take her in?

Think about it again, if the little princess and the reporter eloped during the Roman Holiday, do you think the whole world will be scolded by the little princess or by the reporter? Furthermore, if this reporter abandoned the little princess all the time, would there be any place to use him? Are there any women who dare to talk about marriage with him?

Therefore, the tragic core of Ms. Walis lies in the imbalance of her own resources. She has no power or room to refuse. Summary perception: 1. Equality and self-realization are the foundation of true happiness. Being together is not necessarily happy multiplication, or even division or negative multiplication. 2. There are many things more important than love. Without love, it may be regrettable, but only love will be very painful. 3. People can use the power of others to transition for a while, but the real source of strength that helps to go on forever is to rely on oneself.
