Call of the Wild: A Daydream of the Vulnerable and the Bully

Everyone's path of self-examination requires a martyr. For Rachel, that person was Megan.

Megan's life experience opens up Rachel's obscure and chaotic past, pointing to the real source of misfortune in her life. I haven't read the novel, and some people in the comments say that the novel is a very general suspense novel, so it is no wonder that the portrayal of the bully in the film is so extreme that it seems very unreal. This also led to this fight being very enjoyable at the end, but the stamina was too weak. Ordinary female movie viewers can easily fall into the contemplation of doubting men after watching the movie, but this story is actually enough to make people begin to doubt life.

Rachel's tragic life is built on a lie. Unconsciously, she constantly rationalizes the various experiences of her life by condemning herself and hating women who are actually vulnerable groups like her. She also imposes this twisted ideology on Megan: a perfect home, a caring husband, and a child. Rachel had no idea what she wanted. The words she said were put into her mouth by others, and what she thought she did was what others made her believe she did. She is a dog that no one wants, and she has to lick her wounds and follow her after being kicked all over by her master. The dog hates lone wolves like Megan. Megan wakes up, suffers, struggles, resists, and finally awakens the wolf in Megan through passive sacrifice. However, because the bully in the story is too simple and crude, the whole story looks like a daydream of Rachel on the train after drinking alcohol.

The innocent status of women throughout the film gives the story a strong undertone of sexism. This suggestion is dangerous. Megan's misfit in the small town represents a systemic act of exclusion where not just men are to blame, but everyone. My ideal plot should be: Anna kills Megan, and finally puts the blame on Rachel. Anna and Tom have been grumbling with each other and living together since then. Because after all, not everyone is foolish to pursue the truth, the good and the beautiful. Some people are meat dogs, some people are Beijing Ba. This is the never-ending struggle of real life. Megan is a blood sacrifice for Rachel, and the audience outside the screen needs a blood sacrifice too. Pessimistically, I think Rachel should have died on her way out into the wild. This is better than the fake beauty that is made up for the sake of passing the trial. The death of Tom and Megan's male-dominated husband, the world has not changed for the better, Rachel and Anna are just living in a small fortune. And it is precisely because too many people live in self-righteous little happiness that violence, oppression and inequality are tolerated again and again.

Of course, there are many forms of resistance. In addition to fighting with swords, lights, swords and shadows, we can also ask ourselves the question 'Really? 'Start.

She thought you were gonna... she wanted to call the police. So just... leave us alone. You can ruin your own life if you want to but you're not going to destroy ours. I'm not going to protect you any more.
