The first hour and a half were dull until the heroine's fingers were chopped off. The stories are just a few sets, extramarital affairs, rivalry battles, although I feel sorry for "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993 with it tied for the Palme d'Or, but this is obviously not just an ethical entanglement drama. It's full of feminist symbols - as far as I'm concerned.
The heroine is mute, indicating that women are in a state of aphasia.
And she loves and sticks to a piano, showing that women have their own independent spiritual world.
The entanglements that followed were messy and tragic, but they were obviously the fault of men. Originally, I ignored teasing and courtship, but my husband was so indifferent; after I ignored it, my husband was crazy again.
The piano is actually used as a bargaining chip to compete with men. Touching it once, revealing it once, and laying it down are all several keys. The heroine tries to redeem the piano by relying on this.
Her husband chopped off her fingers. Isn't that completely depriving her of her ability to play the piano?
But in the end, the two men suddenly compromised on the occasion of the lore, and the lover and the heroine left, which was a man who cringed.
On the departing boat, the heroine pushed the piano to the bottom of the sea, and she almost died at the bottom of the sea because one foot was tied to the piano. Women are struggling between themselves and men.
At the beginning, the woman comes to the island; at the end, the woman leaves the island. At the beginning, the husband dies; at the end, the lover is by his side. However, the female self is also lost.
Just a guess, let's just interpret it that way.
I read several feminist articles on Dushu and Tianya, and the gender issue becomes more and more complicated, but there is one point I keep firmly in mind. If the heterogeneity and marginality of women are always highlighted in this way, it also emphasizes their weak position, and deviates from the original meaning of "equality". Anyway, I think this movie is too deliberate, so it has a blunt feeling. A popular story, coupled with a string of symbols, expressing Jane Campion's point of view, thesis-like. Can be read, but lacks fun.
Several writers I read, one is the poet Zhai Yongming and the other is the scholar Dai Jinhua, who seem to be representative feminists. Dai Jinhua has spoken a lot about the film. And Zhai Yongming is really a mysterious figure. She is called a thousand-year-old demon or something. In short, she is never old, and she always looks charming. Post photos of the two of them here, they are both great people.
