Virginia. "Orlando" by Virginia Woolf, there is a sentence in it: "Because she has sex with both sexes, as if she doesn't belong to either; and now she is indeed vacillating. She was once It's a man, but now it's a woman; she knows the secrets of each gender, and she has the same shortcomings as them. Her mental state is the most difficult and chaotic."
Just after reading Sally. After Sally Potter's new work "The Party", this paragraph came to mind; it is also because I have actually watched "Orlando", and he is indistinguishable from the male and female in her movie. The characteristics of women and psychology that may be more fortitude than men are particularly familiar.
For a feminist, or feminist, it is not difficult today to express one’s point of view through a film; the difficulty is how to hide under the eyes of the broad audience, saying that there is only a few. Some people understand things. As a writer, screenwriter or film director, this method requires a certain degree of experience accumulation and a good skill.
On this point, Sally. Sally Potter's new work "The Party" clearly proves it. With a popular catastrophic comedy (with enough British humor to support), wrapped in a test satire of social mechanisms. The movie title The Party can't be more obvious. On the surface is a lively gathering of elites, intellectuals, and so-called high-ranking officials to celebrate Janet's rise to the shadow chief; but underneath the table is a raging tide of issues that will derail, black gold, same-sex social welfare, and parliament. The political bureaucracy made a comprehensive criticism.
To put it bluntly, the theme of the movie is "appearance and detachment." Janet and her husband Bill (Bill) have been married for many years; the ruling party and the opposition party are in harmony with each other, and the right-leaning and left-leaning comrades are in harmony with each other. Of course, we can also compare "Out of Control Party" to the appearance of the United Kingdom and the European Union (Brexit). For friends, Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) is the perfect practitioner or dreamer of postmodern feminism in the 21st century. But for Sally. For Porter's audience, "The Cocktail Party" is just a critical examination of the bourgeois social function of "Party". Taking it for granted, Janet’s years of hard work and struggle have not received the slightest consideration from her husband Bill, and even spawned a post-modern married life in which the two derailed and seemingly separated.
Sally. Porter is very good at using historical allusions to map the characters in the play, and "The Cocktail Party" is no exception. The second is that the core of the movie revolves around a lesbian couple, and the mental and physical contradictions of a diverse family have spread like wildfire. If you are concerned about the news that the British Human Fertility and Embryology Administration (HFEA) made a huge breakthrough in artificial insemination last year, you will understand Sally. Porter's careful consideration of these two roles.
In view of Teresa last July. Theresa May succeeded as the second female prime minister in British history; and the long reign of Queen Elizabeth II; you can imagine Timothy. How vivid is Timothy Spall's role as the husband of a feminist. In addition, I am to Sini. The abrupt presence of Cillian Murphy in the political circle of this party dinner may still retain a trace of political scandal innuendo and irony.
On the whole, for more than seventy minutes, Sally. The characteristics of the wave end; it is not an exaggeration to leave the story to the audience to think and associate without telling the story. The black-and-white mirroring of the film was done by Russian photographer Aleksei Rodionov, and the precision of light and shadow is also commendable. As for the movie music, I personally think it is a clever layout that deliberately eases the conflict of the plot; it's not as good as it used to be. (Such as the superb tango dance in "The Tango Lesson")
