In fact, the name should be changed to "Black Widows" (Black Widows). Three housewives were forced to go to Liangshan and became gang leaders to survive, even resorting to violence. It is true that such stories can only be filmed in modern times. Before changing to the film, I don’t even have to think about it. However, after watching their experiences, I think the audience can still fully understand their decisions and The behavior, not even ruled out, will look cool and energetic.
The story is very similar to last year's "Widows", except that the three protagonists in this film lived in an era where the social environment was worse, and their final resistance was more violent. In many cases, it was not for money, but for survival. You are as cruel as you die.
The whole movie is very lively, and the funerals appear one after another, making it impossible to see that it was from the female director. This seems to be a declaration: it is not only male directors who can interpret violence. This is also the controversy caused by the film. Is it necessary to create powerful women to let them use violence to control violence?
In the past, those who described women as unable to gain power through legitimate legal means, and had to roll up their sleeves to do it themselves, were generally not highly rated, but they did not rule out looking happy. There are also individual contents in this film that are indeed "excessive". For example, the young gangster performed by Domhnall Gleeson taught Elizabeth Moss how to divide the body of the housewife, which was really shown in person with a knife. To show her, it was more than just talking, but the latter fell in love with this technique after learning it, and enjoyed it all. . . This kind of plot is indeed eye-opening, unprecedented, and it will also make the audience wonder: "Is this really necessary?" Therefore, the film may not be suitable for couples to watch together, otherwise the husband will be sweaty. Trembling.
However, the cruel social environment created by this film does make people seem to be watching "Animal World". If you don’t hunt them yourself, you won’t eat them, and they may become food for others, forcing them to be tough and fight for survival.
Such stories that go outside the law are not easy to promote, so Warner handled them very low-key. But it doesn't prevent you from seeing it for yourself, it's still an interesting attempt. I have to say that I still feel very happy.
People always think that women belong to the kitchen, but if they are really anxious, they may not take the pot. The name of TheKitchen is also very ironic. In fact, the whole film has a cold black humor.
