The protagonist Roberta is a representative of the typical American women of that era. It can be seen from her that in a patriarchal society, the needs of women are often suppressed. Married women obey their husbands unconditionally after marriage, and do things according to their wishes; and when Roberta asked her husband about her dreams, she can see that her husband, who has a strong sense of patriarchy, has been only focusing on realizing his dreams without giving Roberta. The respect she deserves, and she has the right to realize her without regard to her. Ignoring Roberta's wishes and turning off the light, telling her not to eat up the cake, and other details, it also revealed the husband's rather self-conscious and inconsiderate side.
Susan's appearance undoubtedly evoked Roberta's long-suppressed desire to express herself. Although the amnesia really dislikes cliché, only in this way can Roberta participate in Susan's life as he pleases and understand Susan as a person. And this echoes the story of Susan when he came to Roberta's home to be a guest and learned that Roberta is a person. It is an opportunity for two people to gradually understand the opposite of each other. It is very helpful to highlight these two completely different female images.
The way Dez treats Roberta is very different from the way his original husband treats Roberta. Dez undoubtedly has more respect and tolerance for Roberta. But what I want to talk about is Dez's words: He expressed to his friends that the reason why he likes Roberta is because she "unreasonably played cards" and her "untouchable". This expresses that women do not need to succumb or deliberately do something to please men and make men like themselves; on the contrary, when Roberta is loyal to her heart and has no burden to be herself, she becomes a charming woman like Susan. Although her personality is completely different from Susan, she is tempting to live with sex like that.
Susan is a true inspiration, she indirectly intervened in Roberta's life and brought her earth-shaking changes. Madonna's unconventional spirit and uncompromising patriarchal society also indirectly affected how many women defend themselves. Madonna herself is closely connected with Susan's role status, and her motto and attitude are completely consistent with Susan. I personally think that the name of the movie is also very good-"Desperately Seeking Susan", women are eager to live a wonderful life for themselves like Susan. This desire to realize self-worth is so urgent that we all hope that a Susan will appear in our lives to lead us and bring us a refreshing blow to our lives.
