"Wonder Woman" played by Gal Gadot is undoubtedly the hottest superhero of 2017, not one of them.
As the first female superhero in film history, the topic of Wonder Woman has long gone beyond the movie itself. It has not only aroused heated discussions among entertainment media and film critics, but also some film makers have also come to catch up on the birth of Wonder Woman. The big screen, so there is this "Professor Marston and Wonder Woman" .
The film contains large-scale content such as lesbian, SM, and 3P, and the poster is also very ambiguous. In fact, this is a biopic based on a true story, telling the story of Wonder Woman creator William Morton Marston.
The image of Wonder Woman is still controversial, and there will always be people who question her skirts are too short, or criticize her unhealthy sexual orientation. If you were to tell you that Wonder Woman's dressing originated from erotic costumes, and her creator was a polygamous SM lover, would it cause people's verbal criticism?
In the first scene of the film, a group of children and parents are burning the "Wonder Woman" comics. People throw the comic books into the fire while shouting "Burn! Burn!" The original author of the comic, Marston. Looking sadly, but helpless.
Marston was subsequently accused by the American Association for Children’s Research, which believed that his "Wonder Woman" comics involved a lot of bondage, spanking, torture, homosexuality, and other abnormal sexual behaviors, and these images are obviously detrimental to the healthy growth of children of.
And Marston's married life is also considered immoral. He not only has a married wife Elizabeth, but also lives with his former student Oliver, forming an alternative three-person family. The two women lived in harmony and gave birth to four children for Marston.
Wonder Woman, a symbol of feminism, the creator is actually practicing polygamy, which seems a bit ironic?
Faced with the accusations, Marston had to defend himself and told about the process of co-creating "Wonder Woman" with his two wives.
William Morton Marston was not a cartoonist at first. Before being fired, he had been a professor of psychology at the university.
Professor Marston once put forward the famous "DISC theory" , namely: Dominance, inducement, submission, and compliance.
He believes that all human relationships can be classified into these emotional classifications in the final analysis, and to make the other party consistent with their goals in a way of inducing, so that the other party obeys, and can avoid the hatred and war caused by forcing the other party to surrender.
When Marston proposed this theory, shortly after the end of World War I, the world was shrouded in the shadow of fascism, and people urgently needed methods to maintain peace.
Through this theory, Marston derives his feminist view: Women are better at inducing than men, so if women hold power, the world will be more peaceful.
This view obviously also influenced his later construction of the comic image of "Wonder Woman".
After a series of revisions and developments, the "DISC Theory" finally divides people into four types: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. It is still widely used in the workplace. .
Another invention that Professor Marston is proud of is the famous polygraph, which he and his two wives made together.
Marston’s legal wife, Elizabeth, was also a psychologist and a strong woman in the workplace. However, gender discrimination in universities was very serious at that time. Elizabeth often complained about the injustice of the system. This kind of thinking also contributed to their rights to women’s rights. Sports support.
At that time, the Marstons’ psychological research was in a predicament and needed to recruit an assistant. A young and beautiful female student, Oliver, joined them.
Olive and Marston are like-minded, because Olive's aunt is the famous American feminist Margaret Sanger , who has made outstanding contributions to the promotion of safe contraception and family planning. (Contraception and abortion were illegal in the U.S. At that time, many women died of miscarriage or reduced to fertility tools)
Oliver made important suggestions for the improvement of the polygraph. She believes that only the tester fully reveals his heart to verify the accuracy of the polygraph. So the three people took turns playing the "truth or dare" with the polygraph. During the long-term contact, the three people developed affection for each other.
That's right, it's between three people. It turns out that Olive is bisexual. She is not only in love with Professor Marston, but also in love with the professor's wife Elizabeth. With the help of a polygraph, anyone's little secrets are unobstructed, and the window paper is quickly pierced, so they start a "threesome" of sexual happiness.
Veteran drivers know that "threesome" is very complicated, and there are many tricks, so Professor Marston learned the art of bundling from an SM master.
Professor Marston took the two wives to observe the art of binding. Elizabeth expressed disgust at this, but Olive was very interested.
When Elizabeth was arguing with Marston, Olive put on erotic clothes, a headwear and a bracelet, and stood on the stage with a rope. This sexy look is the original "Wonder Woman".
Professor Marston explained SM art with the "DISC theory", and Olive was a practitioner of this theory. She imposed an "inducement" on Elizabeth, which caused Elizabeth to change from aversion to SM to "Compliance".
Of course, this process is voluntary, allowing women to enjoy sex freely. It is essentially the same as Margaret Sanger's promotion of safe contraception. It reduces the price of women's happiness and enhances women's right to choose.
But even now, their behavior is difficult to be accepted by society. Marston and Elizabeth were soon dismissed from the university, and the family lost their financial resources. In order to make a living, Marston had a whim and planned to create a comic called "Wonder Woman".
Wonder Woman was inspired by the two lovers of Professor Marston. The character borrowed from Elizabeth's strength, and the appearance borrowed from Oliver's softness. The mantra lasso was the polygraph they invented, and the theme was the thought of three people. A summary of: pacifism and feminism.
Professor Marston persuaded MC Gaines, who had discovered "Superman", to publish this comic, and "Wonder Woman" became popular in the United States as soon as it was released.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. "Wonder Woman" was accused by the American Children's Research Association, and the content of the comics was also deleted. Until today, decades later, Wonder Woman is still controversial.
In October 2016, the United Nations appointed Wonder Woman as the honorary ambassador for women's rights. Just two months later, this appointment was revoked due to protests. Because some people think that Wonder Woman's figure is too sexy, it is a product of catering to the male aesthetics; some people think that Wonder Woman is just a fictional comic character and cannot take on this important task.
Wonder Woman is widely regarded as a symbol of feminism, but feminism itself is very complicated and has increasingly developed into a kind of "political correctness."
No wonder some people tease: If you are looking for a qualified feminist ambassador, it is best that this person is a black female Muslim born in an African refugee camp, who was circumcised, raped, aborted, infected with HIV, and smuggled to Europe to become Illegal immigrants, obese, bisexual, ready for sex reassignment surgery, raised a few dogs and are vegetarians.
After "Professor Marston and Wonder Woman" was released, Christie Marston, the granddaughter of Professor Marston, uttered on Twitter that the content of the film was untrue. Patty Jenkins, the director of "Wonder Woman", also supported her claim and claimed that the film's poster was plagiarized.
However, the focus of the controversy is mainly on the details of whether Elizabeth and Olive are gay. The binding plots of the early comics of "Wonder Woman" are all historically based. As for whether Professor Marston is an SM lover, his family denies it, and DC also tried to prevent the audience from linking Wonder Woman to SM.
Although people have become accustomed to bikinis and are more tolerant of LGBT groups, when it comes to SM and a three-person family, they are still afraid to avoid it. And the film expresses a point of view through the mouth of Professor Marston: These are personal freedoms, what qualifications do others have to criticize?
