Sweet Popcorn

According to the publicity, "Women" presents an all-female drama with new wine in old bottles, reinterpreting the old film in 1939 with modern elements, but in my eyes it is a 50-year-old, never-changing topic of gender and friendship between women. . And not only the subject matter is old-fashioned, but the pictures are also formatted. The title is all kinds of women's shoes on the streets (very familiar). At the end of the play, premature delivery is sent to the delivery room and a new life is born to imply a new beginning. Also, when a group of women is arguing, it is definitely not that everyone takes turns to finish the words. They have to gossip and sing each other. After a long time, it turns out that women are a group of thrushes who like to sing more loudly than each other.

There is a logical error in the play: the heroine Mary is a perfectionist through and through. She has to score 120 points for everything, and pursue everyone around her to be satisfied with her. Such a woman is unkempt and sloppy in her daily life and goes to Saks. Her girlfriend, the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, can pick other people's cheap shoes but won't tell his girlfriend that walking is bad? It didn't even point out that the shoes and clothes were not matched properly! ! ! Could it be that this is also a common "helping relatives not helping
others " and, with the sale of "The Devil", Xu Shi has also popularized common sense to everyone -------- the career of the female editor of fashion magazines has become A symbol of successful people, so watching American dramas and movies in 2008, most of the careers involving the successful image of women were female editors of fashion magazines.

Of course, for Meg Ryan films, I always have to say something nice: I prefer the core value of the film: (sometimes) don't take into account the feelings of others, do what you want to do, learn to be selfish. "Except for other good things... It’s good to look at when you relax, and forget it when you are down. Every successful ending in the movie may be a daily life riddled with holes. Irony.

My belly is dark: Hollywood movies always like patterned happy endings, so many times I suspect that it is such a sweet Popcorn that has been brainwashing for decades, thoroughly washing generations of Americans into sometimes simple silly big people. .
