A biopic itself is not an easy task. Everyone has his own protagonist and definition in his heart, so the director’s interpretation has a direct guiding effect on people who don’t understand the story. This is a biopic about the famous American porn actor Linda Lovelace in history. And her most famous pornographic film "Deep Throat" later became the code name for the clues in the "Watergate Incident." This is a provocative film, enough to arouse the curiosity of all viewers. But if you really read it, you will know that its pornographic part has played its role, but it is not the theme. Its true connotation and meaning make the audience can't help but fall into thinking after reading it.
The role of women in this society is often helpless. Traditional thinking always believes that women must rely on their husbands and obey the four virtues. Only finding a husband is the basis for standing on, otherwise it is pathetic. As for whether the husband is good or not, it is important to be patient anyway. This kind of thinking is vividly expressed in the words and deeds of Linda's mother. She is a devout Catholic with violent temperament. She has imposed extremely strict discipline on Linda since she was a child. She is convinced that corporal punishment is the best way to educate her daughter, and no mistakes in her words and deeds are allowed. Once Linda came home a while later than the prescribed time, the first thing her mother saw her was to slap her without listening to any explanation. When Linda's husband abused her and she had to escape home, hoping to stay for a few days, her mother indifferently refused, but told her to go home and told her to follow her husband if she married. In such a situation of isolation and helplessness, Linda's choice for survival also has a reasonable explanation.
Her first husband, Chuck, met by chance in a bar. At the beginning, the gentleman had a demeanor. He claimed that the bar was run by him. He brought the ignorant Linda into contact with pornography. After getting married, he began to slowly expose nature. Chuck was arrested and imprisoned because of his identity as a pimp. After being released from prison, the two of them were struggling and he became addicted to drugs, so he arranged for Linda to film porn to make money to support his family. The porn film that made her sensational was "Deep Throat." No one thought she would become a hit, from an obscure little woman to a star on the red carpet, but Chuck squeezed her dry as always. For better marketing, she changed her name to Linda Lovelace. Although she has become a star, she still cannot win any respect in front of Chuck. As long as she feels dissatisfied, she will be violent. In order to make money, she will be used as a tool for prostitution, and she will pay for the goods at the same time. . On the other hand, Linda, who was initially caught in the discomfort of becoming a star, was so excited as a little girl after attending the dinner party that she called her father home and told him that she saw the star she liked. But when my father sighed over there and said that he did not dare to watch his daughter's performance in the movie or even questioned; when she wanted to ask the police car for help because of domestic violence, and the other party only treated her as a porn star and asked for an autograph, she suddenly felt like a dream. Was drunk as if awake.
For quite a long time, Linda has been choosing to endure silently, but when her grievances accumulated to a certain extent, she surpassed the limit and chose to explode. Her self-awareness woke up from her deep sleep, and she decided to change her life and become her own master. Finally she seized the opportunity to escape successfully, found someone to help her, divorced smoothly, remarried, gave birth to a son, became a mother, wrote an autobiography, bravely stood in front of the public, and told everyone that women should have the courage and grasp their own life. courage. In the end, the scene freezes to the harmonious scene of her taking her husband and son back to her natal mother, holding her painful father and smiling comfortably, and then the movie ends.
It can be said that such a warm ending is still positive, but it is inevitably too idealistic. It has never been easy to wash porn stars, let alone rely on their own efforts. If you search for the real Linda Lovelace's name in Baidu Encyclopedia and see her life, you will find that the life that is not understood and embarrassed by the world will eventually become barren and depressed. The failure of the two marriages, the constant entanglement of illness, and the meager salary made her protest impossible. Not only did he need to return to filming pornography at the age of 52, he was killed in a car accident for the first time in a year.
Amanda Seyfried's performance caused a lot of discussion. Questions and denials are endless, but I choose not to judge. The first movie she watched was "Chloe", which performed a black-bellied and terrified female junior in place, but I always felt that she looked a little strange, not beautiful in the traditional sense, but exaggerated and peculiar. You will be shocked by her oversized eyes and oversized mouth, like an alien, but you will gradually get used to her appearance, and you will remember her because of her unique recognition. Later, I watched "Letter to Juliet" and was moved by the innocent love story. I also remembered her rivalry with Anne Hathaway in "Les Miserables", and then this daring biography. In any case, as one of the four Hollywood stars, her works are still very popular.
No one will study whether Linda Lovelace’s life is an arrangement of fate or a fate, but in any case, she finally chose to be left as a model in the long history of history, just like other characters who have suffered different experiences. history. Throughout the beginning, under heavy pressure, groping for her own way out, to struggle, to transform, to stand at the top of the stage and fall into an unknown ups and downs, only she knows what it feels best. But no matter what, she has bloomed brilliantly before the world.
