I watched 6 episodes in one go, and the night I watched the first two episodes, I lay in bed and said, I feel so uncomfortable, so depressed, everything is not so beautiful anymore! The pictures on the TV are so beautiful, so beautiful, especially in that ideal kingdom, where the red is so warm, the green is so elegant and noble, and all the colors are simple and simple. However, the so-called Garden of Eden is not as perfect as imagined, to be precise, it is depressing, spreading an atmosphere of terror. In order to prolong human life, they capture fertile women, and in the name of God they are forced to use them as child-bearing machines. The "womb of action" is a really ironic metaphor. Shrouded in the maid, is the same color as their clothes, heart-pounding oppression and terror. Let a woman return to her essence - to conceive life and give birth to children, who can not admit that in today's society, when more and more infertility situations occur, who does not have this idea jumped out? The wife of the archbishop also fought with the bishop with such a pure idea and became a part of the new kingdom. Ironically, the bishop's wife also became infertile and had no children, and she couldn't be sure whose cause was, but her husband's estrangement made her unbearable. For her family, the only choice is the arrival of the maid. Will the arrival of the handmaid solve the problem, who knows? Instead, it put her in an embarrassing situation time and time again. The bishop's patriarchal ideology gradually sprouted and aggravated, and marriage was in vain. The so-called various regulations in the name of God were also illegal as he said they could. A centralized state can really make rapid progress, at least in the direction it strives for. The new country, thanks to the presence of handmaids, also had many babies born within a year, which surprised and moved the Mexican ambassador, who had not been in her city for many years. In order to develop, the country even chooses maids as commodities to export to other countries. In one helpless episode after another, I kept thinking that it was so easy to build a society, such as morality, freedom, and equality, but it disappeared so quickly, like a helicopter falling, when everything returned to the era of slavery , Humans are really no different from animals. At that time, will they still care about the sense of danger of human extinction?
The maids like to go to the supermarket every day and take a walk around the river. There are corpses hanging on the tall city wall, and the maids below are chatting without feeling, and that picture is deeply imprinted in my mind. Those who use various names to spread various ideas and spread various atmospheres of fear are all for the benefit of individuals or a small group of people. Among them, people can only survive.
