I can't feel the slightest sigh of the so-called fighting for freedom. As a woman, the first instinct to watch a full movie is discomfort, or even nausea.
I cannot ignore my own feelings, so I have to say something.
The whole movie is actually taking the first night rights to women as the freedom of the whole society. This is just a touch of men talking about themselves. When the first night rights of women are regarded as a tool for freedom and liberation, women no longer exist. They are only used as a foil. They have no freedom, because that freedom does not belong to them, but to them.
Shouldn't true freedom mean that women also have control over their own sex? If you want to express social freedom, shouldn't it mean that women have control over their bodies?
However, what this film expresses is that the first night right of men to women is freedom.
Although I understand that this is a common problem in all ancient movies, and it is also due to historical reasons, I still feel very uncomfortable, especially when I see that in today's society, there are so many people who recognize and tout this kind of thinking.
