Outdated gender concepts

Warning: The character and values ​​and concepts of the characters in this film are not in the 21st century. Please be prepared before watching friends who are biased towards feminist views.

Let me talk about the advantages first. I was fooled by the theme song. The lyrics of "Александра" are very well written and the melody is also very nice. There are N different versions as the soundtrack in the film, which is very satisfying. Then the heroine is so beautiful! ! Her daughter is also super beautiful, she looked so handsome when she turned her around and left after venting her anger for her boyfriend, and she was also super beautiful when she held her cheeks on the picnic. The Russian girls are so beautiful! The protagonist group composed of the heroine's friends and their husbands is very warm. The whole Soviet/Russian flavor is very strong, I like it.

Then it's vomiting.

First of all, the subtitle group of station B is completely suspected of making up. I doubt that they have figured out that the heroine’s name is not Kasya, and all the places where the heroine’s natal Katerina is called are replaced by her nickname Kasya. In addition, many characters also have a lot of dialogue in occasions where they have not spoken.

The more obvious problem is that the characters in the play have an outdated gender stereotype. The early heroine was too silly and sweet. The heroine's roommate Lyudmila spent her life showing off feminine charm and chasing "excellent men." The personalities of the main male characters are hard to describe. The protagonist photographer found out that the heroine was not the daughter of the professor and abandoned her categorically. The later male protagonist was a serious male chauvinist. He fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight on the train and then launched an overly straightforward pursuit (if someone treats me like this, I would only think this is a pervert). Sherlock Holmes's cool attitude exudes "So ordinary but so confident" temperament, and emphasize that the status of men in the family must be higher than that of women, "her social status is more important than her character" (Me:??????) in such a man Because after discovering that the hostess earns more than him, I feel that the hostess cheated him and left when the hostess cried so sad (I:?????) I am sorry I can’t accept a successful career, a house, a car There is a lovely daughter such a wonderful heroine and such a terrible straight man have a touching true love. In the early stage of watching the show, I felt a SOS drifting in my heart, but I told myself that everything would be better when the heroine became stronger and the heroine appeared in the later stage. It turned out that such a person came out, and I cried on the spot.

Moreover, I find it difficult to accept the experience and description of women's lives in this play. For example, the difficulty of the heroine's pregnancy and raising her daughter alone has been taken away. The description of pregnancy is only sour, and then at the entrance of the hospital, the nurse next to her is holding a baby. The heroine's body has not changed at all, and her smile is bright. God.

This film is not a major heroine film that meets the taste of the 21st century, "excellent female workers stand up on their own feet". The key issue is that she is not married when she is 40 years old, she should be married, and she should have a man. Her abilities and status are just a kind of foil to "older singles", just as the female characters in the harem novels are superbly described, but this does not mean that the status of women is very high.

All in all, because of my wrong expectations, this film did not make me feel moved by "Moscow does not believe in tears, but only in love." Not only did I rush to watch the movie at night without liver ddl, I not only really felt like crying, but also had deep doubts about the love in the movie. I'm still going to listen to the song. "Александра" included in "Песни нашего века" is better than the original film.
