Domestic Violence and Feminism

Regardless of the movie, I personally think that the image created by Blunt is still very successful, showing the image of a decadent and alcoholic woman. As for the movie, the plot is very messy. I thought it was about several women, but I found out that these women were actually in the same incident. However, the plot development was really unexpected, and I also thought that Rachel killed Megan at first.
The film is full of scenes of women being oppressed. The resistance of women's rights may also be the sacrifice that the director wants to express when fighting for equality of rights. The two husbands in the film have varying degrees of violence, and the women in the film are also victims, which may be the social significance of this film.
Life has to go on. Rachel, who came out of the past, quit drinking and started a new life with a new look. Although she was still on the same train, she was able to face the past and the future with a dull heart.
Overall, it's a decent movie, you can watch it, but don't push it hard.

    Obviously clever, the director should be very proud of his ability to narrate flashbacks, thinking that he has produced a brain-burning masterpiece, which is actually the level of a dog-blooded Tianya post. In the second half, the whole collapsed. Once the heroine drinking the fragments wakes up, she becomes the famous detective Conan and Wolverine. The bottle opener is killed and a new life begins!

The Girl on the Train quotes

  • [first lines]

    Rachel: [narrating] My husband used to tell me I have an overactive imagination. I can't help it. I mean, haven't you ever been on a train and wondered about the lives of the people who live near the tracks? The lives you've never lived. These are things I want to know. Twice a day, I sit in the third car from the front where I have the perfect view into my favorite house: Number 15, Beckette Road.

    [Rachel sees a woman on her back porch in the morning]

    Rachel: I don't know when exactly, I suppose I started noticing her about a year ago, and gradually as the months went past, she became important to me. I'm not the girl I used to be. I think people can see it on my face.

    [Rachel sees the same woman at night with her husband]

    Rachel: She's what I lost. She's everything I want to be.

    Rachel: [now sitting in the train station, drawing] I imagine she's a painter. She's creative. He's a doctor or an architect. He has a good laugh. She can't cook. I wonder what they say to each other before they go to sleep.

    Rachel: [now on the evening train again] Today her name is Jess. Tomorrow it could be Lisa or Amber - it all depends on the day. It depends on my mood. The truth is, I don't know her name.

  • Megan: A teacher once told me I was a mistress of self-reinvention. I wasn't really sure what it meant at the time. But since moving here, I've come to understand it. Ardsley-on-Hudson is boring and routine. It's a fucking baby factory. I wanna start my life over again. So far, I've been a rebellious teenager, lover, waitress, gallery director, nanny, and a whore. Ands not necessarily in that order. I can't just be a wife anymore. That's why I stay awake at night, staring at the ceiling. In fact, the only time I feel like myself is when I'm running.

    Dr. Kamal Abdic: You always felt that way?

    Megan: Maybe since I was about 17. With Mac.

    Dr. Kamal Abdic: Hmm. Mac? Who's Mac?

    Megan: My brothers best friend. My brother who died.
