A woman is a woman-American dancer

An extremely common phenomenon: It seems that those films that are easy to understand and involve horror, song and dance, eroticism, and action are difficult to get a high evaluation in the eyes of the public. Only those works that are rich in profound meaning and philosophical thinking. That's the kind of heart.

In the film, there are many characters in Chinese clothes and large-scale nude scenes, as well as those appearances full of ritual sense, a visual fetish. The camera looked at Berkeley's body curve and manners, not missing any details, and regarded it as an object of lust. Although the film presents the full-blown sentiments of the "glorious field" due to the gorgeous setting, high-level language design and complex scheduling, it will also be ignored by the "rigid objectification" that many viewers have deeply in their minds.

Narrative strategy

Van Hoven drew on the makeup and personality of Rose Meyer's B-rated films, and on this basis, provided the spectacle of sex and violence, which made the audience feel inexplicably excited, and this excitement is precisely what people are in a society of etiquette. Those who must be restrained in the middle, enjoying the pleasure of nudity, while in real life they have to "scratch their heads" to avoid such "abnormal".

Unreal dangerous messages, gorgeous stage art, strong physical expression, graphic lighting, a strong aesthetic pleasure. The film can stimulate the audience with sex and violence, showing that it has the ability to satisfy the audience's original and irrational desires. Civilized society restricts public display of sexual behavior, but Van Hoven goes against it with extreme provocations.

Female image

An alternative role screen image. Of course, this has nothing to do with anti-movie. Under the changes that are gradually at odds with the past and concepts, it challenges all the people who will meet with her at present and in the future, and predict her possible predictions.

Berkeley indirectly enjoys the satisfaction brought by men and achievements. She enjoys the attention of others. She is gradually lost in words and plots, and makes uncontrollable deviations, but she always adheres to a good attitude of saying nothing to life and friends.

For women who are not constrained by the system and solidified thinking, they turn to an independent, strong, and very attractive single woman who is contrary to the tradition. Women are no longer as wives, mothers, and friends in the "normal world", but can change feminism through new images again and again.
