The logic of the monologue and dialogue is clever:
Trish's suspicious eyes and tone were sitting with Elaine in the Victoria Teahouse, frowning frequently, and she must have sneered at Elaine's thoughts in her heart. Trish is an image mixed with one-sided rationality and feminist consciousness :
But what about what WE want? How are we going to be equals with men if we keep catering to all of their needs?
You sound as if you'd been brainwashed by the patriarchy. Your whole selfworth is wrapped up in pleasing a man.
But what do we want? How can men and women be equal if we have been meeting all their needs?
You sound like you've been brainwashed by a patriarchal society and your whole self-worth is about pleasing men.
Elaine is much more thorough than I thought:
If you want love, you have to give love.
Women naturally and spontaneously please men, never because the female gender is subordinate to the male gender, but in order to stimulate the male to satisfy the female more. An inappropriate analogy, the dominant seems to be in control of the power and the submissive is controlled by the dom. In fact, the sub usually seduces the dom to dominate (physically), so the dom is the one holding the whip but succumbs to the one who serves the sub. desire (mentally). Going a step further, the two sides control and obey each other, but the tough and arrogant dom is far less cunning than the sub cunning that can bend and stretch.
so--
If the self-worth of women is to please themselves, or the self-worth of the essence of life is to please themselves, then how can it be said that it is patriarchal to please men for their own benefit? This is Elain's philosophy.
All witches need to figure out where their power lies. And we feel that a woman's greatest power lies in her sexuality. We don't view this power as satanic or anti-feminist, but as a celebration of woman as a natural creature.
An earthly body. A spiritual essence. And a womb.
And they believe that men and women are different. And that true equality lies in that difference.
All witches have to figure out where their power lies. We feel that a woman's greatest strength lies in her sexuality. We do not see this power as evil or anti-feminist, but rather a tribute to women as natural creatures.

From the old times, a woman was the altar. And the sacred place was the point within the center of the circle. The origin of all things. Therefore, should we adore it.
In the old days, the woman was the altar. The point within the center of the magic circle is the Holy Land. the origin of all things. Therefore, we should worship it.
"And true equality is in this difference."
I believe that the witches here can be directly replaced by all women, just like Wicca believe that magic is a female instinct. There's nothing wrong with viewing sex and lust as female-dominant forces. The worship of sexuality, whether phallic or womb-universe, is a devotion to the pleasures at the heart of life.
[It is necessary to say that extreme radical feminists are advised to take a good look at this movie. Of course, "extreme"/"radical" has its own "narrow" and "misunderstanding and distortion" skills, so of course I also believe that extreme feminists watch this movie. I can't understand it lol. 】
I'm not in love. It's not that I dont have sentiment. It's just that love is soft. You need guts in this business. I've seen guys get shot to death because they fell in love, and get soft inside. A man can get destroyed by something like that. I never wanna get that way.
I am not in love. It's not that I don't have emotions, it's just that love is weak, and it takes courage in my line of work. I've seen men shot and killed for falling in love because they've become weak inside. A man can be destroyed by love. I never want to be like that.
How can you stand there and boast about being immune to love? Why does the genuine love of a woman scare you so much? You think your way is a superior way to live?
How can you brag about being immune to love there? Why does a woman's true love frighten you so much? Do you think it's better for you to live like this?
(However - I have to say - it's a pity that my view of love is more in line with this male partner..)
Digression: While countless counter-chronological and effortless homages to Jean Rollin (which is my fav cult/horror/softcore sex movie director), the 53-54min ceremony scene even takes the entirety of Bacchanales sexuelles (1974) The virgin sacrifice to orgy (exactly).
Black witchcraft and white witchcraft are also exquisite, and the explanations of witchcraft and black magic are also orthodox and introductory. As Elaine put it, "whitchcraft is my religion, which is older than your Christianity." A statistic of the company says that until now, there are at least 1,000 cult/pagan/witchcraft gatherings held in secret every year in various countries of Europe. Some of these witchcraft sects such as Seax Wicca and Saxon Wicca (both Wicca based on Germanic and Anglo-Saxon legends) are not kept secret. Of course, not only in Europe, but also in the United States, there is a very mainstream Wicca religion introduced by Buckland, which was passed down from Gardner's "Shadow Book", and Gardner's rules for Wicca rituals are borrowed from Crowley (see , upside down can not do without a few of them). The main goddess of Wicca is usually a man and a woman. In the film, Barbara represents the earth goddess in Wicca, and the man wearing antlers represents Cernunnos.
Finally, to clarify that this is not a film review, this is a memo. (How can I, Dehe, stand on a higher stance to "evaluate/review" a good movie with good intentions? All I can do is to speculate and learn.)
A 6.4 rating is very appropriate; four stars because the color and sound processing turns me on, simple as that.
