Through the eyes of a handmaid, "The Handmaid's Tale" describes how people are reduced to "social tools" in a religious totalitarian country. Here, everyone lives under strict surveillance, especially women, who are defined as "national property" and allocated to upper-class men for use. Here, women are not literate, let alone work. They are cultivated into different social tools according to different functions. Some became fertility tools for upper rulers, some became vase spouses, and some became laborers.
The sunglasses policemen everywhere on the street banned the use of sensitive vocabulary and defined homosexuality as a disease to be treated. No, no, this story is not far away from us. However, in a very ironic scene, there are many dialogues and unspoken rules that we have played for thousands of years, and there is no intention to call the curtain, on the contrary, it is getting more and more intense.
I watched this drama on February 25th, 2018. This day also witnessed a day of historical significance, which is ironic, right?
Are you willing to exchange your flesh and blood for a few seconds of applause and empty praise from others? Are you willing to do such a thing to others?
For example, to flatter, for example, to sing maternal love while strangling a woman's soul and freedom.
Summarize with a sentence from others:
If the sky is not bright, then live in the dark;
If it is dangerous to make a sound, keep silent;
If you feel powerless to shine, don't illuminate others.
But-don't defend the darkness when you get used to it;
Don't be triumphant about your own struggling;
Don't ridicule people who are braver and calorie than yourself.
It can be humble like dust, not twisted like maggots.
