Co-authored by Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius and Cannes movie actor Jean Dujardin (Jean Dujardin) and others, "Cheating Man" has assembled a total of 9 films that vary in a long time. The short film presents men's derailment in a comedy way.
Chinese will describe the act of infidelity to a partner as "cheating", but from the perspective of Junichi Watanabe comparing men to animals, the term "cheating" does not seem to apply to men, because in comparison, "Stealing sex" may be more in line with men's infidelity. There is no doubt that sex and love can complement each other, but this also cannot deny the possibility that sex and love can be carried out separately, especially for men. Watanabe Junichi said: "Men's sexual behavior can be carried out at will regardless of the target." Unlike women's sex, a man's sex starts with erection and ends with ejaculation. It is self-release, so it doesn't care about the target. Just like Luo Hong (Jean Dujardin), who is hunting for beauty in "Loyalty", although she is frequently rejected by women, she has to vent her sexual desire when she says anything. In the end, she had to retreat and lower the standard, just to dispel desire. .
No wonder people always say: "A man is an animal that thinks in the lower body." A man's "big head" and "small head" seem to be operated and operated by different systems. Sometimes the "big head" can't control the "small head". Sometimes the two are in peace and running at the same time. Therefore, we see that Afo (Jean Dujardin) and Xiaoge (Gilles Lellouche) in "Best Affair Partner" can raise their heads and chat with each other even if their lower bodies are busy "doing errands."
In the world of "stealing sex", men are like a criminal community, not only will they encourage each other, but they must also use the same breath to cover each other. Not only that, they sometimes complain to women in the posture of a big man. For men, a woman is like the female-shaped drink cup (appears in "The End of the Best Partner"). It is an item that can be controlled and owned by a man. That's why Xiao Ge said: "Let her ( (Referring to the wife) knows who is the boss.” It’s just that modern women are no longer the same, but most men still live in the past patriarchal society. They can’t keep up with the trends and changes. As a result, they can only sigh: “Women have changed. , Become free.” In addition, the two short films "Sex-Addicted Men" and "You Can’t Say Death" also mocked men’s concept of "one-sided chastity", pointing out that men's romanticism would only be regarded as a love sage. And romantic women will be scolded for the double moral standards of prostitutes and sluts.
Having said that, "Cheating Man" is still a movie made for (heterosexual) men. It not only materializes the female body, becomes an object that men or is viewed by men (like a movie poster), and it also hides what men are watching. The standard of the "ideal wife" recognized. In "Lolita", Avery (Gilles Lellouche) has an affair with a young sister who is old enough to be his daughter. Due to the difference in age, the two often get at each other's friction. A certain time of not returning all night made Avery's wife very worried. When Avery came back with a bruised face, she just believed his reason for "I was in a car accident" and stood silently to accompany her.
Watanabe Junichi thought: "For men, the family is a place for him to recuperate and heal his wounds for many years." Therefore, the wife must play a role similar to the "mother", with an open mind to accommodate all the faults of the husband, just like Avery's. The same as the wife. This is why even if men like to "play wild food", they are not willing to divorce and resume singleness, because they still need the comfort of their family (wife) after encountering setbacks, as is the case with Luo Hong in "Loyalty". After the failure of Hunting Yan, he took out his mobile phone from the car when he was going home, and sent a text message to his wife, saying, "I'm glad to go home. I love you."
Just like the ending of "Sex-Addicted Men", men are unwilling to accept the corrective treatment of stealing food. On the one hand, "Cheating Man" does not shy away from the phenomenon that men love stealing food, on the other hand, it has no intention of directing men to "positive Instead, he found all kinds of excuses to justify the man. First of all, unsatisfactory marriage is a reason. Luo Hong of "Loyalty" spoke to women on the grounds that he was tired of marriage. In addition, animal instinct is also a reason. The phrase "hybridization is the foundation of nature" seems to conform to nature, but it is just an excuse. In addition, homosexuality has also become a scapegoat. "We are like comrades, venting our suppressed erotic desires everywhere." Afo said to Xiao Ge; even at the end of the movie, homosexuality became an alternative solution for stealing food. The way.
Although there is no shortage of female members in the director group of "Cheating Boss", the shadow of heterosexual hegemony can be seen everywhere in the film. It is an amazingly masculine movie (no wonder the movie poster can cause controversy). After watching the movie, I couldn't help feeling curious: Since I dared to present the phenomenon of (heterosexual) men's love of stealing food, why can't the characters in the play directly and simply confess that "I love stealing food"?
