"Sophie is a good name," her rebellious friend Jane told her, "represents wisdom." Check it out, it also symbolizes beauty, grace, beauty, gentleness and loveliness. Sophie is illiterate, she is illiterate, and it is impossible for her to know this. But her temperament is exactly the same as her name. She is a model of her name. At the beginning of the film, Sophie meets in the restaurant with the former supermodel who will be her employer. If the film is muted, the audience cannot distinguish between the two of them. In fact, Sophie's demeanor is more magnificent and elegant, her face is as cold as a statue, it is hard to guess, it is a perfect mask. She got off the train with her luggage, and in the car of the mistress who came to pick her up, on the way to the middle-class family that appointed her as a maid, she still retained this kind of demeanor that could sit on an equal footing with the mistress. Soon, the hostess deliberately broke this equality, "Sophie, can you help to see if there should be cigarettes in there. That pack of royals, thank you."
At this time, the film did not show Sophie’s expression, but shot the cigarette and a gloved hand reaching towards the cigarette at the same time, waiting for the car to arrive at the destination-where she works, that is, where she does housework, the gloves are just Can't help her. When the hostess has finished introducing the work items, she has found a lovely maid's posture.
"I'll be back at 6 o'clock. If someone calls me or you have something to do, please call the gallery." When the hostess confessed this way before leaving the house, she was already standing decently with her arms folded in front of her. She is also good at this aspect, that is, she is aware of the normative landscape of a free, democratic, and equal society, conforms to the standards like a robot, and cooperates with the "non-authoritarian" atmosphere created by the owner, showing that it is not excessive and does not exceed Limit self-esteem, elegance and decency. All of this is in an unwritten work contract. The quality under this cruel requirement is far beyond the quality required by a Parisian supermodel on the runway (however, the income allocated to them by the society is not equal to the income of the model. Proportion). Finding a maid is a hassle, and the family doesn't want to switch back and forth, because playing a maid is also a difficult job for others. If you fail to meet the standard quality, you will be disgusted; if you meet the standard quality, sooner or later, you will offend your owner and depress yourself. No one can always maintain a perfect balance between these two extremes. Unless it is a senior deacon under the monarchy. Although they didn't give her the remuneration and treatment corresponding to the senior deacon, they asked her like this: "She is good at cooking, but it seems that she needs to be taught how to serve dishes."
There is no need to continue to analyze the following plots. The rich will destroy all the poor people have created for themselves and can maintain a "self" posture at a minimum. Although she was just a maid and was decent, they still used TV, learn to drive, and submit documents to make her appear to be a maid that matched the middle-class style and living habits.
In terms of betraying labor, she is not stingy. Compared to going out to relax and play, she "likes ironing clothes". She doesn't care about washing dirty sheets. She even prefers to wash dishes by hand instead of the dishwasher. She likes to go on foot. Shopping instead of driving. Therefore, there is no reason to attribute the "escalation of contradictions" to pure labor exploitation, or class contradictions predicated on this, or even hatred of the rich. In fact, the oppression of her by the middle class is constantly depriving her of her posture. The hostess is set as a model and a gallery organizer, which is not without meaning; correspondingly, the friend Jane who incited Sophie to kill, the second heroine, is a female model who has been unsuccessful. She and the hired Su Fei’s mistress has known each other a long time ago. At present, one of them is a down-and-out post office worker and the other is a rich lady. The contradiction between the two is also the contradiction between the models. The labor market uses equivalent exchanges and moral pressure-those who do not work do not gain, creating a large number of disqualified people who are arbitrarily kneaded by the rich. Exploitation is not just economic, it has reached a level that only gives such disqualified people who can no longer be called humans the tiny area on which their feet stand. In a large area of the palm, their figure is about to be. Shattered.
Those who don't work don't get something-this seems to be a natural law, but it is not. People in paintings and sculptures can prove this "naturally". Those are not some people who deserve to die; if they continue to live tomorrow, it is not because they have worked gloriously enough.
So, what is a cold memorial service? Postures, paintings and sculptures have rebelled! The Holy One has rebelled! Sacrifice, sacrifice to the gods! This is the fate of the maid-Sophie. She came to destroy a middle-class family like a god-a family who was literate, could read, and thus had a luxurious study room representing social status, a hobby Mozart's musical family.
"(Foucault said) I had a nightmare when I was a kid, and this dream still haunts me. I pretended to read it, but I knew I was making it up. Then, the text suddenly became completely blurred, and I couldn't read anything. Come out or can't make up." (Foucault's Eros of Life and Death)-For a period of time French thought was also seduced by the notion that "the world is a huge text". Sophie is not dreaming in the movie, she really can’t read and write; but other people really don’t understand text, and have never stared at, considered, or noticed the world as text, the dynamic world, even though People hold this idea. If people see the world-text, they also see Sophie and her innocence (her behavior is in her ignorance, but her name is related to wisdom.)-her/world-text, goes by, but doesn't read Write, not even read or write itself.
