It is also a representation of war. Compared with the grand scene of "Dunkirk", "The Best of Them" does not have the fierce competition on the frontal battlefield, but only shows the appearance of ordinary people trying to survive in the chaotic years. And the director locks the protagonist on a woman, which adds a lot to the film.
Like many young girls, in Catlin's life, love comes first. She elopes to London with a painter she admires. Her talent was appreciated by screenwriter Barkley, and as Barkley's assistant, she became the screenwriter of the movie "Dunkirk". In her work, Catlin slowly discovered her value and began to like her work. At the same time, the artist's career also began to take off, and she began touring exhibitions. At this time, Catherine was shooting in Devon. She felt guilty when she returned to London on the closing day of the exhibition, and met the artist's derailment.
At this stage, Catlin's life was centered on the painter. She followed the painter to London for love. When the painter was too poor to pay the rent and wanted to drive her back to her hometown, she worked hard to earn money to support her family. Her ego is lost in love. Although she is slowly becoming independent financially, she is still attached to men spiritually. When her love ends, the "self" projected by the painter on her also disappears.
When the heartbroken Catlin returned to the filming location, Buckley confessed unexpectedly while comforting her. He rationally said, "He is a fool, you are stupider than him, where is your self-esteem?" The arrogant questioning angered Catelyn and awakened her inner self-esteem, and their relationship fell into an awkward situation. If it weren't for the impermanence of war, they might have continued the cold war, and when they realized that "if life is so fragile, it is a shame to waste it", they finally let go and open up to each other. However, before the two had time to make out, Barkley collapsed in an accident on set.
During the raging war, when I came home from a night of overtime, I found that the apartment had been razed to the ground. The colleague who ate with me yesterday turned into a bloody corpse today. A bombing may be a goodbye. As a result, the war fulfilled Eileen Chang's love of the city, and the chaos could not accommodate a selfish man and a selfish woman, but a couple who warmed to each other.
The love between Catherine and Barkley is based on mutual appreciation. Barkley is her Bole, who supports and encourages her to display her talents along the way. Under the guidance of Barkley, she has been recognized by everyone through her efforts, and slowly affirmed her own. value. But when Barkley passed away, she was reluctant to work in the film industry, perhaps because she didn't want to see things.
But the deeper reason is that without the person who has always affirmed her, she is not sure if she is still up to the job. It was also a hypothetical discussion with Barkley that inspired her to revise the ending of "Dunkirk." She needed a guide to lead her through the patriarchal society, but the screenwriter cruelly killed the guide.
Catherine began to be unhappy, until she walked into the theater and saw the audience cry and laugh with the movie, her pride as an editor' came spontaneously, and she finally found the meaning of persevering.
In Britain during World War II, because men all went to the battlefield, women in the rear went to work one after another. While supporting their families, they also contributed their own strength to the country. When women who are confined to their families go to jobs that used to be only men, and do it equally well, it is definitely a surprise and inspiration for women. The filming of "Dunkirk" in the film adds more female emotional elements , but also for the purpose of encouraging the current situation.
The film sets the growth of the heroine against this background, and successfully completes the excavation of women's pursuit of self, from attaching to men, to seeking help from men, and then discovering themselves. This transformation process has also occurred in countless times. on women.
No matter what they experience, when women use their weak bodies to fight injustice and oppression, experience waves of pain, and find a foothold for their own side, it is the best for them.
