Whether it is "humble" or "noble", it is presented to the public as a "sacrifice" mentality.
——The type of women like
Cynthia
can be found everywhere in the entire classical literature and movies. They are undoubtedly vanity, like the new and dislike the old, etc. Most women have criticisms, and hidden behind this dark psychology should be women's inferiority complex. In the film, Cynthia said to Jasmine, "Poverty is shameful". If there were no banquets, no beautiful clothes, and no men around, and she lived as poor as Tess, she would probably only be a self-deprecating woman, because Such a person can only live by the men around him. Beautiful is undoubtedly innocent, but it is easy to make people imagine.
Another interesting remark she said to Jasmine's father was "I can't stand being imperfect in front of others", which revealed her vanity and hypocrisy. A man's compliment gives this woman too much desire, and there is a restless heart beneath her bright appearance. In order to maintain her image in her mind, because she is not allowed to have any "smears", she can forget about the past and the harm she has done to others. "I enjoy the feeling of being chased by others", all she wants is freshness , but did not intend to take responsibility (including her request to conceal her engagement twice, just because she did not want to give up the entire forest for one tree), because of vanity, like men surrounding her, when faced with doubts from others and her own credibility crisis , she said that she was free, and if she could, she could dissolve the engagement now; in the face of someone else's proposal, she said, "I'm already engaged," but showed affection to others. From the beginning to the end, she did not hear a word of repentance from her mouth, and even when the mask was torn down, she only showed "embarrassment".
But at the same time, you can't be too harsh on her, because it is undoubtedly a bit difficult for a person with a beautiful face and ignorance. In those days, the class relationship was deeply rooted, and she was undoubtedly inferior, so she needed to get attention and prove her own value through various means or forms. This kind of person is pitiful, and only those who have a sense of inferiority need to hang their pride in the on the face or mouth.
A man is a sharp sword in her hand and a pile of chips, so she is dealing with this pile of chips, wandering, hoping to gain both fame and fortune. It's just that God will always give blows to those who want to be in love. For a woman who is in the middle of the night, what does she take as the weather vane of "love"? Guess it's just cheap passion; what can you give to a woman who is not independent? Except for money and men. A woman like
Jasmine is undoubtedly a model for women.
Someone asked her where that mighty power came from? I think it should be a person's morality with a sense of responsibility. Only a person with a deep sense of responsibility can have such qualities: kindness, forbearance, integrity. To give timely comfort in the face of others' pain; to show forbearance in the face of a lover's empathy; to show integrity and self-respect in the face of others' malicious slander against another person, and to have gossip against oneself The restraint, these have repeatedly proved that this woman's demeanor is unusual.
In the face of her father's remarriage, she lost a little temper, which proved her inner fragility; and for her lost feelings, she was neither noisy nor silent, but only her own little secret, which was definitely worth making. People respect, and what is even more commendable is the restraint shown in the face of ridicule, which is awe-inspiring.
Her good tutoring, a father who respects and trusts her, and the kind and warm way she gets along with her father are all key factors that affect her growth. Some people say that she has been portrayed as an old-fashioned woman with "three obedience and four virtues". Can you say that being "well-behaved" is a fault? She has her smart side, her personality side, and her bottom line. When faced with a woman's opinion, she seriously pointed out that others should not talk about others, and she severely criticized Preston's entanglement and threats." This is not the behavior of a gentleman." Instead of being meek, she was kind and didn't have the heart to hurt others.
Her view of love is also as cautious and self-respecting as herself. She did not fall in love with Roger at first sight. She even had a prejudice against him at the beginning. Through constant contact and observation, she slowly opened up in love, and her love power is selfless and powerful. , she liked him calmly, secretly probing the content of the letter that Roger sent to Cynthia, when he was repeatedly injured or ill, she was so nervous that a small face was wrinkled, even with a sense of indifference to Cynthia. silent complaint. Love him but don't disturb him, this kind of forbearance continued until the scene of confession in the rain. This is undoubtedly what today's fast-food love needs to reflect on.
Claire
has to say that the dignified and elegant image of her standing by the window of Helinford's house and watching Gibson moved me, and it lasted until Gibson confessed to her that she was shedding the burden of being a single mother. The sour tears of responsibility and stress. What was shocking was her repeated restraint on Jasmine when she was newly married, and I finally realized that this was probably one of the nine stepmothers. Thankfully, she is not vicious at heart except for her vanity and snobbery. However, in this way, it can better reflect the hypocrisy and utilitarianism hidden behind "elegance".
If there is a mother, there may be a daughter, and her daughter is a little better than her, but "comparing wrong with wrong" is inherently stupid. The mother clearly loved her daughter, but she loved herself more than her daughter. She instilled in Cynthia according to the "happiness conclusion" she had drawn from her observations. How could a mother's "shop around" prevent her daughter from following her? Obviously this conclusion is very subjective, but two vain and utilitarian women together, what kind of conclusion can be drawn.
In her view, there are only so-called "take what you need" in this world, and there are goods for sale, and her daughter and current husband are one of them. Comparing and comparing, going back and forth again, it is estimated that in her eyes, there is no "love" in this world at all. It seems that as long as he has money, anyone on the street can become her son-in-law, no matter if this person is sane now or not, he used to be a robber.
She was too frightened by the poverty in the past, just as many people can be shameless for the sake of the bakery now; often hypocritical and snobbish people have a little taste of the common people, looking from the top down, I believe that there is no king or a king. The queen compares the roundness of pearl particles among a bunch of people, and the diamonds have a few carats! Therefore, even if the common people fly to the branches and become a phoenix one day, she still can't change her humble habits, which is why the upstarts usually like to show off.
Conclusion
Although the whole film ends with washing utensils, there are many shadows of "women as a rib of men".
Women always want to scrape something off of men, and men's brains full of love affairs are willing to be prisoners under pomegranate skirts.
