In the final analysis, I like it because it describes the fate of women. Maybe it has a background in the 1950s in the United States, but I personally think that if you put it today, you will still see similar stories. Those women just want to live freely and be truly recognized by the world as independent people, but they are not willing to stand behind anyone as a shadow. anyone. Whether it's a man or something else. No one can compel them to stand obediently before the fireplace and the wardrobe, and spend their lives in silence, unless they want to.
Love everyone in this movie. I noticed a lot of characters in it. Can't remember their names, but from the nurse (nurse? school doctor?) who gave condoms to girls in violation of state law, to the principal who ended up giving a motion that was impossible for Katherine to accept, I liked a lot of people in between. The headmaster was quiet, but he was protecting Katherine and these "the brightest and best women in America." She often failed, but she didn't stop.
Everyone is trying to break through the established rules of society, some fail, some succeed, some overcorrect, some finally agree, some lose the courage and ability to judge, and even assimilate and suppress the opposite of order as a vested interest. See the struggle and sadness of those women. You can't blame anyone inside. Seeing that Betty was so hurt and wanted others to suffer as much as herself in order to forget her own excellence and difference, it hurts every time. Seeing that Catherine was truly stabbed into the deepest part of her heart by the Italian professor, that person's self-righteousness, using the most sophisticated means to win the most unmistakable trust, was very frustrating.
Today's world, if not masculinism or masculine chauvinism, is at least masculine. When describing paradise, paradise/heaven always has "gold and silver paradise villas and rivers meandering by them", "broad-leaved trees with great fruit or beautiful maidens". Wonderful young girl. Of course, in general human nature, this is a desirable picture. However, it is obvious that girls are more attractive to men, which can comfort men in the hard life of living in the world, abiding by ethics and morality and restraining their bad impulses. For women, such a paradise is less attractive. Even lesbians don't generally like all young and graceful girls, right? Especially when she was dying and entered a different world as a grumpy old woman.
Pull away. Patriarchy can be called "primitive" because it lasts so long, it's so ingrained in the mind that it permeates all aspects of life, you can't avoid it from anywhere, it can always be one of the problems angle. It is said that it begins to penetrate into your mind from the time of reading, whether it is a man or a woman, understand it first: God is a HE. So, I am here to pay tribute to the man who invented the word "she": Thank you Mr. Liu Bannong. Although I don't know if his original intention of inventing this "she" was from the perspective of poetic aesthetics. Nowadays, if a man writes "Teach me how to miss him", it is a bloody thing.
