Tragedy under patriarchy, movies and stories are

After watching the movie, I felt like I was stuck in my throat, and I felt very crying after Cardi died, and I may have felt the same way. But I don't think the film is shot without knowing what perspective to look at.

First, it's obvious in the movie that the old scoundrel feels superior to Cardi. This isn't a character issue, it's the setting of the movie itself. Although the old rogue really liked Cardi, he didn't feel ashamed at all. I felt Cardi was dead. If so, what is the story about?

Second, is there anything wrong with Cady letting go of her self-esteem to pursue the life she aspires to? I don't think people who are so persistent in their pursuit of life will commit suicide. She shouldn't be a tragic character. If you criticize this imprisoned society by her suicide, I don't see any criticism in the movie. On the contrary, it exaggerated the cynicism of the male protagonist too much.

Third, I would like to say that such a woman should be the representative of feminism today and dare to pursue the life she wants. And this desired life can be in various forms today, and there is absolutely no need for a single choice like in the film. I want to say that the only good thing about this film is that it has created a very beautiful woman. Unfortunately, the film is still a narcissistic appreciation of a big man.
