This is a road movie about a young girl, but it does not describe too much about the plot of crossing the state and crossing the house on the road, but mainly tells the setback of the heroine Wendy after falling into a small town on the way.

When Wendy parked her dilapidated N-hand car into a small town one night, she never expected that she would be hit by a series of critical attacks, the car was broken, the dog was lost, and she even went to the police station because of theft.

Japan's NHK has made a documentary about the poverty of young women. Young women and poverty, from the perspective of patriarchy, is this swollen possible? Young ➕ female = sex capital! Can people with natural capital be poor?

The word diaosi seems to refer exclusively to men, after all, women don't grow dicks. But diaosi must have mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. These women who are closely related to diaosi are all female diaosi.

Just because you are a girl and you are poor does not mean you are qualified to be a Cinderella, Cinderella is a proper aristocrat!

For poor girls, except for those who are very beautiful and very smart, there is a certain chance to break the ceiling of the class, and then cut off the small group who are very willing to retail and sell their own sexual capital in order to get rid of poverty, the rest of the girls are all It's all female diaosi's fate.

Wendy in the movie is a pure female diaosi. She is not particularly beautiful and has no extraordinary wisdom. She is mediocre. Like most ordinary girls in their twenties, she is docile, shy, and lacks social experience. At the same time still a little childish and a soft girly heart, so when Wendy and the dog Lucy galloped in the woods, she giggled non-stop, and she drew useless but beautiful on the edge of the book. Small lace.

Even though she was so destitute that she had no money to live in a hotel, Wendy insisted on going to the bathroom of the gas station every day to wash her body and change her dirty clothes; even though there were only a few hundred dollars left in all her belongings, Wendy still maintained her self-motivation and wanted to go to the "heard" There are plenty of job opportunities in Alaska looking for work.

However, because of saving money and failing to refuel in time, the classic car finally came to an end, and because of saving money, she stole some food from the supermarket and was arrested by the police, causing the dog Lucy to get lost.

Wendy, who lost her car and lost her dog, was forced to stay in this deserted and unaccompanied town. A girl like Wendy could not get any help except for a bit of warmth from strangers who were in the same lowly position as her. Auto repair shop, supermarket, police station, three common places, Wendy was deprived of everything after a trip.

Because you are weak, you deserve to be trampled on.

One of the most shocking scenes in the whole film is the dogs who are about to be humanely executed in the pet shelter.

Who threw them away? And who made them born?

Commodities become garbage after being mass-produced and wasted, but can life be treated in the same way?

Wendy inquired extensively and learned that the lost Lucy was adopted by a good family. Wendy went to find her dog, but she was not going to take Lucy away.

"You follow them and you can live a better life."

Wendy said to the dog Lucy tearfully.

Her goodbye to Lucy was a farewell to the best time of her life, her teenage years. And even the best of times was so bleak, with only one mongrel puppy comforting her.

In any society, such young girls who were born in poverty and could not get rid of poverty all their lives are everywhere. Although the age is as fresh as a flower, it does not enjoy the joy of life.

The bad luck of poverty, which cannot be driven out by the halo of youth, is destined to accompany for life.

At the end of the movie, Wendy sneaked onto the train bound for Alaska and ran to the unknown distance with a blank face.

This "Wendy and Lucy", "The Match Factory Girl" and "Rosetta" can make up the trilogy of "The Humble Life of Female Diaosi". For a poor girl who eats soil, life will never treat you any favors just because you are a girl, on the contrary, it may be more cruel. Because in the case of extremely poor resources, men will not humble women, but will only use their power to plunder. Diaosi are the bottom of society, and female diaosi are the bottom of the diaosi layer.

After Wendy's car broke down and was towed away by the owner of the garage, she had nowhere to spend the night, so she had to pick up a few pieces of cardboard to sleep in the wilderness. In the middle of the night, she met a delirious homeless man. After she escaped, Wendy cried. hysteria.

Such a terrible encounter will happen again and again for her future life. There is no reason for him, only because she is poor.
