The theme is about the gentle nature of women. The director’s opinion is that although a woman sometimes looks and even acts like a man-in-law, she is still a woman by nature. At the beginning of the movie, Bullock was among a group of men, and at the end, it was among a group of women. Although the symmetry was a bit contrived, at least from the point of view of the screenwriter, it was a topic.
Now I want to talk about a sub-motif of this movie, which is food. In the movie, there are N descriptions of food:
1. The opening scene is the restaurant, where Bullock is eating, reading, and monitoring;
2. In the first act: (1) Bullock returns home and uses a microwave oven to heat fast food,
( 2) Bringing Starbucks coffee and breakfast for my colleagues the next day;
(3) Eating large ice creams and drinking at the FBI restaurant;
(4) Food was everywhere on the FBI colleagues' desks. Benjamin was also eating while using the computer to determine the undercover Lollipop;
(5) Meet Kane in a French restaurant, and Bullock chews steak;
3. In the second act: (1) While helping Bullock beautify his whole body, she is not allowed to eat food with calories, only allowed Eat some vegetables;
(2) Meet the beauty pageants, the first time in the restaurant;
(3) Miss Rhode Island brought hot chocolate milk to Brock to chat;
(4) Kane continued to not allow Brock to eat Any food with calories;
(5) Eating pizza and drinking beer with the beauty pageants (this time is very important, symbolizing change) The
above are just a part, as well as popcorn and bagels that appear in the hands of the agents from time to time Wait, even in the lines, it is mentioned from time to time: She ate four pieces of pizza last night.
Food appears repeatedly in this movie, and the frequency is very high. This is a sub-motif set by the screenwriter in it. Because the subject is about women’s nature, at the beginning, Bullock’s attitude towards food was also masculine. He ate and drank like a man. He ate fast food and coffee regardless of his appearance. He didn’t have to stay in shape as a woman at all. Thoughts. This is the beginning of the female motif, using sub-motifs to complement it.
From the second act, the motif of food becomes more obvious. Because screenwriters and directors believe that women’s nature is gentle, just like people want to eat when they are hungry. This is nature. The Chinese say "food sex is also", which means a little bit like this. Therefore, in the second act, restrictions on Brock’s eating began. The restriction was on the way she used to eat, which was to restrict her anti-motif approach and shift to a positive motif approach. After repeated restrictions, after Bullock's gradual transformation (this one hour later, with a red mask on Bullock, symbolizing the feminine transformation, although a bit contrived), the food finally returned to her like nature. Around. From the last scene of the second act, the beauty pageants eat high-calorie pizza and drink beer together, reaching the peak of the food sub-motif.
The third act did not continue the discussion of this kind of food, which is also a failure of the movie.
Employers need food to understand the nature of women. How do you say this technique? I don't like it very much. But this is where the screenwriter is most proud.
