May the world be consensual

[The Accused 1988]? The Chinese translation of the name is rather disgusting, it is called [Bao Jie Li Hua] at first glance, you will think it is [Bao Jie chrysanthemum] or [Destroy Pear flower]?

This is Judy Foster's first Oscar-winning work at the age of 27. The plot still touched me several times. It's about Sarah, a young girl from a commoner background, quarreled with the male ticket and went to a bar to relax. As a result, because he was too beautiful and sexy, three men gang raped in front of everyone. And instead of stopping them, the surrounding witnesses booed, clapped their hands, applauded, and encouraged them. So the climax of the trial was to send the onlookers to court, not only prosecuting them on deaf ears, but also characterizing the crime as rape.

Naturally, obstacles and obstacles were encountered several times in the process of deciding a crime.

I still want to raise a few questions here and ask myself,

1⃣️If a girl is too beautiful and too sultry, then for others to commit crimes against her, is it right that she deserves it?

2⃣️If this girl is gang-raped, then his boyfriend doesn't feel the same way and thinks that things are over. She is depressed, very unhappy, and refuses to have sex. Is she really annoying if she does not come out?

3⃣️When the girl was gang-raped under the eyes of everyone, all witnesses did not stop or stop, and even encouraged this behavior, believing that it was the girl who caught fire to her upper body, completely ignored her refusal, her body was bruised and bruised, then the onlookers are innocent ?

May the world be consensual. May all the wicked be brought to justice. Everyone will pay the price.

    Aside from other evaluation factors, this film has a very good beginning, the first 20 minutes of the scene, the morbidity of society and the plight of women are well expressed. Too bad the rest of the scene was too bland. Jodie Foster's acting skills in this film are really beautiful. She crushes the other protagonist, including the female lawyer's role in the back, and she can still catch people's eyes and see the self-side of the characters in the play.

    Whether it is a lowly woman like Sarah, or a high-end female CEO of Tsinghua's president class who was recently raped by the chairman of CEC Communications, they will eventually face a dilemma that women have no solution. After all, the line between human nature and animal nature, civilization and barbarism, is fragile and fuzzy. What's more, in the modern consumer society/pop culture, the ubiquitous sexual innuendo, the natural tendency to objectify women (as sexual objects), all contribute to this.
