"Women are active rather than static symbols, intelligent and powerful, albeit destructive, drawing strength from their sensuality, not weakness."

The Wachowski brothers' (sisters, to be precise) debut feature deconstructs a genre-defying deconstruction with elements and perspectives of lesbian relationships in a film noir that falls under the category of "male tyranny", despite the existence of mainstream genre-traditional narratives Next, the state of male struggle as the center of the entanglement, and there are also obvious bugs (for example, all people are anosmia patients/gangsters are easy to deceive in front of the femme fatale, etc.), but the overall degree of completion is seen It is still very high-quality. The ring structure, coincidence burden, and special sound effects keep the rhythm very well, and the small cost is a big victory.

Film noir is always associated with femme fatales, such as "Women are the bane," "Women lure men into ruin." And so on. They are seductive sexual symbols, the other of fetishes and gazes, but film noir itself is full of fissures and contradictions, whether it is the difference in narrative structure (the struggle for the right to speak in the multi-point, the moral judgment). duality, etc.) or the image of the femme fatale itself (escape from family life/prostitutes etc. is a sense of independence and resistance in itself). As the representative of the new noir film, "Stunning Flowers" has become more bold in the image of the femme fatale. It not only maintains the desire for money, fame and fortune and the temptation of men, but also pursues the development of women's love relationship, blurring the originally constructed two Metaverse gender differences.

"In general, feminism is concerned with the oppression of patriarchal ideology, while lesbianism is concerned with the category of sexuality, both breaking taboos and rejecting a certain way of coercive living." The concept of "body" is used to summarize all the experiences of female identity experienced in women's life and history, and to regard female identity as a "potential source of energy". For example, the end result of eroticism should be to deepen and expand the conscious female identity, making it a rebellious force and alternative society living in the production system of thinking.
