Pragmatic feminism after the Metoo wave

Do we still watch this kind of youth growth film less? Especially from the hands of American directors, ten fingers can't count them. This work also follows the plot routine of this type, with large-scale dialogue, pop music mix, jokes on sexual topics, etc. The film has a precise audience and targets the youth market unsurprisingly. As an actor-turned-director's debut, it is driven by a female perspective in the same vein as last year's "Miss No Bird", but it lacks the focus on family relationships, making the film more commercial and entertaining. The breakthrough is to use the structure of a road movie to string together a night's plot, breaking the brainless carnival and sensuality of common American parties. In the words of film critics, the character creation is "sharp but not mean". In my opinion, it is closer to the perspective of women's own thinking. It is not entirely to please the white male audience. In essence, it belongs to the practical feminism after the Metoo wave. . Whether it is the way women solve their own desires or express the outside world's views on women, there is a more tolerant mentality change, rather than the only choice that is obsessed with being on an equal footing with men.
