At the same time, the sexual suggestion of Hammerfoot is particularly obvious.
In this high-walled compound, women gain power by providing sexual services that satisfy the master.
2. The master doesn't have a close-up of his face, not even a medium shot. The faces of the aunts were scrutinized countless times.
The male is the subject of the gaze.
Women are the objects of the gaze.
3. "What did you see? You didn't see anything! You are crazy"
"Crazy" is constructed, as long as it is not in order, it is crazy.
The film repeatedly mentions "do it according to the old rules" and "this is not in compliance with the rules", and "rules" in this family are self-contained rationality itself.
"Rules" are a way of consolidating the masculine authority of the lord.
All attempts to question / accuse / go beyond the "rules" can be "crazy".
The highest power may be the power to "prescribe what is crazy and what is normal".
Foucault, Madness and Civilization.
4. It is very interesting to pick out the clips of the third concubine singing opera.
When they joined the show, they played "The Matchmaker", "Women's Solution" and "Peach Blossom Village", all of which were unchaste, and the pursuit of freedom.
"The Imperial Tablet Pavilion" is different. It appears twice, and it is about married women who keep their chastity.
The first time was playing cards when Song Lian found out that the third concubine had an affair with the card partner, Dr. Gao. The background sound is the part of the guide board turning to the loose board sung by the third auntie.
So when I was playing poker, the paragraph
"When I saw the break book was like a knife twisted, just for the night when I returned home. When the
wind and rain were in the middle of the journey, the stele pavilion sheltered from the rain and caused disasters.
There was another year and less, and the two sides sat silently. Evening."
"The Imperial Tablet Pavilion" sings innocently, but the third concubine herself is innocent.
Therefore, there is a sentence behind it, "I am innocent of my chastity" and did not sing.
In the end, after the third concubine was executed for adultery, Songlian put the running board in the back of her room.
"Johnson gave birth to parents since childhood, Angela Chang-fifteen marry.
Both read poetry and literature you do not think about, How can it be slaves catkins on the wind Yang.
Weathertight unexpected amount of people hard, dark room why ASE.
Conspiracy deadly trap conscience funeral, a certificate of divorce is like murder The field.
Touch your chest and think about it, the unrighteous Wang Kui is better than you." The
latter three sings were repeated several times, but it was actually the resonance and accusation of the love fantasy in the life of Song Lian and the third concubine.
5. In the age of underdeveloped contraceptive methods, the control of men over women is mainly established by restricting the uniqueness of their sexual partners.
It is the legendary "chasteness".
"The Imperial Tablet Pavilion" sings about the grievances of a woman who has been wronged for her virginity. Even if it is chastity, if the husband wants to doubt his wife, he will doubt his wife.
On the back of this line of thinking, if you don't keep your chastity, you are not worthy of sympathy, and you can give up or even be executed at will.
The acquisition of power mentioned in 1 is to provide good sexual services, which is actually not complete.
The power to light a lamp and order food is not obtained by providing good sexual service, but by providing sexual service and absolute obedience.
The old man said, "I hate women looking at me the most."
The Analects of Confucius says that "color is difficult", and there is an explanation that the most difficult thing to be filial to one's parents is to always be kind and happy. But the women in these houses are called upon to provide such services.
Not showing face means absolute obedience.
Therefore, in this house, apart from the master and the future master, the eldest young master Feipu, these concubines, whether they are the winners or losers in the "house fight", are just objects, not individuals.
6. I have been to the similar Shanxi Wang Family Courtyard, but not the famous Qiao Family Courtyard. It is said that they are similar. He also said that he is a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the high wall feels like a strict law. It's nice to be able to run around on the "Strict Laws" now~ =v=
Tucao: But the photos I took are really far from the ones in this film...
