Closer to home, back to movies. When I looked at the poster alone, I always thought it was the character played by Anne Hathaway. As an intern, she grew up under the white-haired grandpa to be a person who could be on her own. As a non-radical feminist, I also fell into such a deep down, very ashamed. That's why Hollywood's growing list of "feminist" films this year is so valuable.
For the feminist movement, The Intern is valuable for two things.
The first point, "He for Her", was the subject of a speech by Emma Watson at a UN campaign for women's rights. This is very important. Without the understanding, support and help of men, the feminist movement will always be just a slogan. As girls, our greatest pressure comes from the society. No matter how determined we are, we are always vulnerable when we feel weak and want to give in to the pressure of the world. Just like in this film, Jules wants to give up his career and return to the "social" standard of men and women, so as to save his precarious marriage. The existence of Ben was Jules' most powerful reliance at that time. Of course, in the end Jules' husband's awakening is very dramatic, but it also shows that it requires the joint efforts of two parties, and neither is indispensable. At present, some feminists are too extreme and are in a state of hostility to male roles. Personally, they think it is unwise, or it is a wrong state.
The second point, feminism, does not mean that women should abandon all their own characteristics and become like men. Rather, acknowledging who we are, acknowledging that we are different from men, and that this difference also contains our relative weakness. But, even so, we should and can be respected by society and be able to be who we want to be, in who we are and not "like men"
Hollywood's changes in movies in recent years, especially Disney's cartoons, have abandoned the traditional drama of princesses waiting for the prince's redemption, so that the princesses can control their own destiny, which is very gratifying.
But looking back at home, the mainstream TV melody is still watching the palace fighting drama, and the main theme of the palace fighting drama is "I won the world, I have power, but I don't have that man, my life is a failure". The world is so big and life is so broad, but women can only be put on the shackles of "living for men and fighting for men".
If the TV series is just to cater to the ratings, I just saw on Weibo today that Dr. Wei Wei expressed his insult to Guo Jingming in "The Strongest Brain" and said "how can you be like a woman", and he was safe and sound. Can not help but chill. I don't know when, "Like a woman" represents a kind of disdain, and this state is still ignored in China. I can't help but sigh, how difficult and stressful the domestic women's living conditions are.
I rambled and said a lot, not only about movies, but also some recent thoughts. I'm not a fierce feminist, and I don't expect that society's tinted glasses on gender will be taken off soon. I just hope that society can recognize the efforts and choices of girls, whether they want to be a full-time mother or have a career. sexual women.
