Girl you can live the life you like

I hope you know that this is not done for you or for me, but for an eight-year-old girl lying in bed dreaming of becoming a "thief".

When this morale-boosting line came out of Sandra Bullock, the cinema was full of laughter, but I felt that this might be the first motivation for the screenwriter to create the entire film.

Not only from my own memory, but almost since the birth of the movie, the "male hero", "male hero" or "male only protagonist" have appeared on the screen the most. Speaking of "agents", 007, ace agents, doudou...no one will deliberately emphasize "male agents", but for example, there are basically no women. "Scientists", "Astronauts", "Rogues", "Aliens" and so on, all follow this law. Beautiful women can be princesses, spoiled wives, temptations, push hands, but they can't be alone. Even if outside the screen, male celebrities travel around the world to publicize or perform, no one will ask if this delays the family or misses the children. Once the female celebrities go out, all kinds of warmth cards are played, as if a male person is a person. , Women alone have to carry the family on their backs.

In recent years, this trend seems to have eased, but in fact it has become the best aura for men to increase their favorability. If you cook a meal and take a child for a day, if you are willing to do something about the housework, even an unobtrusive man can do it. Become a "male god". Conversely, women who should regard housework as their own responsibility will immediately lose a large amount of admiration once they expose their own shortcomings. Regardless of whether it is a male or female spectator, there are two systems for evaluating a person, with the words "male" and "female" written on them.

As the argument of "equality between men and women" has been repeatedly mentioned internationally, the film and television culture industry has indeed undergone considerable changes in the past two years. We have "Female Doctor Who", "Female Sherlock Holmes", "Female Alien", "Female Agent", "Female Scientist" and so on. Some people think this is too deliberate. A character is set to be male, so why must there be a female version? As a woman, personally, I support the transgender interpretation of all roles.

There must be girls who watched martial arts when they were young and wanted to become knights, and there must be girls who dreamed of being a detective. No one has said for sure that we can’t be God of War, but the TV shows we’ve watched since we were young tell us that even if there is Doctor Who, we are the group of people standing on tiptoes in the corner waiting to be taken away, and it’s never possible to drive cool Hyun's Tardis took the initiative to leave. In the comic show, girls who love all kinds of roles are pretending to be men and proud of being handsome, but almost no one realizes why those characters can't travel the world in women's clothing.

Maybe the "scam" of this movie is not so perfect, but I just like this story-a person who was scammed was released from prison and formed his own team to bring the scam back. The simple setting, just such a description, hardly anyone will have a female character in their minds. Who says that women can't be thieves, hackers, liars, or pickpockets? Who says that women cannot succeed in revenge and not be trapped by love? Who said that women can't be the winners in the last laugh?

When we are proposing "feminism", we are not saying that "women will win over men", but that everyone has exchanges, wins and losses, and equal rights are good. An eight-year-old girl, she has the right to dream of any life she wants and work hard for it. Dreams are never marginal. Only when the girls passively accept the framework given by the society, will they look at the blue sky and give up the unlimited potential they once possessed.

Ocean's 8, not an all-female class, "Crossing the Sea/Eleven Arhats", this is a part of the thieves family series. Family movies, there are males and females.
