Since 2018, it has not persisted until the third episode on and off. Maybe it's because it's too depressing. Whether it's the background of the story or the development, I don't have the desire to continue watching. The way of recording the interlude is also a bit confusing from the beginning.
But the appearance of the fourth season gave me the desire to keep watching. It is educative and inspiring to be able to persist for so long and still get more than 9 points. Then I watched the first season in three days. Judging from the end of the first season, the heroine's prospects are not optimistic. Because of his opposition to stoning, although he wasn't the first handmaid to stand up, he did play a role in influencing the group. I probably haven't experienced the feeling of self-confidence when walking home in line for a long time. As mentioned at the end, we have no way of knowing whether the future we are waiting for is bright or dark. From the perspective of the real society, it will still be dark for a long time.
Extreme society - extreme patriarchy, whether the relationship between the two is equal in the eyes of the screenwriter, in my opinion, the answer is beyond doubt. From the title, it can be seen that the handmaid, the word directly translated means "handmaid". The maids in the play may not even be as maids. In this society, they are just regarded as reproductive machines. Infertility means that this person is useless. Of course, from the play, all those who have been caught have children (in season 1-10, there are many letters from maids, all of which are about themselves and their children), this is Mandatory filter conditions.
In this society, rape has become a ritual (ceremony), borrowing religious beliefs to legitimize personal or political selfish desires. An extremist society is bound to be accompanied by the existence of extremist religions, because the rulers need to use religion to suppress the ruled. The euphemistic name of the law is in fact nothing more than a tool with a beautiful appearance.
The heroine in the play, as a person who participated in the editing of "law", was finally arranged to the fringes of society. All the halos become Mrs. Waterford, the halo of the past as a separate entity no longer exists, all is eclipsed, and it is hard to believe that it was her voluntary.
In general, the script is very innovative, and from a negative angle, it presents the horror of extreme society to everyone. This terror is radiated from the bottom of the heart, warning people to understand what is the real right to protect themselves. As a woman, you should read more and enrich yourself more. If one day women don't care about their rights, no one cares. Hope to see the moment when the heroine fights back.
