'The Endless Flower' About Women and Friendship

about women

One of the lines that stood out to me was when the rapist said "we're having some fun" and Louis said "when a woman's crying like that, she isn't having any fun!" referring to Selma who was crying). One of the themes of the whole movie should include the defense of women's rights (I don't want to say the word feminism directly, haha, if these two words are said too much, there will always be people making a fuss). The film did not reveal what happened in Texas at the end. I think this arrangement is very good. Originally, many incidents of bullying women are in the "dark places", and no one knows from the beginning to the end. lift. I watched half of "Jin Zhiying Born in 1982" a few days ago. It all reflects the living conditions of women in a certain era, but the movie is only a movie, it can only reflect history, not solve history. Even if the characters in the movie have fought, it cannot represent That generation has stood up and tried to solve the problem (which is why I didn't watch 82). However, it would be great to be enlightened by us who see past issues, so to speak, a meaningful film. The role of a police officer in it feels that although it is a bit inconsistent, it is still a beautiful bud in an ugly society.

About friendship

The two people's roles on the road have reversed a few times, but the relationship between the two has always been: when you're desperate, I'll be the one who yells get up at you, drags you up and tells you we'll be all right— For us I could kill a man, for us I could go rob a store and leave a "Thank you gentlemen and ladies for cooperating"...sounds exaggerated, but in my opinion a luxury romance, and the whole That's the style of the movie. The two girls originally had a boring life or painful memories, one had a false marriage, and the other was raped and never came out. Along the way, the two met many people and things in a thrilling and dangerous way, and slowly they became together. There are strong women who can easily hold a gun and say "you apologize, or I will make you regret it". It is also expected to drive down the canyon at the end - the real death is always more comfortable than the false life, and it is also pleasant. But in fact, it is difficult for us to find the person who is willing to tell us to "move forward" and pursue "truth" together.

Even if it sounds crazy, it's "usually normal" if someone does it together - it's like drawing the biggest circle in a race, I circle us in two, turn around and say to the world, "You guys are out there".

    Great shot. Selma is always stupid, deceived, and very realistically portrayed. She is the image of a woman who is often locked at home by her husband and is not allowed to go out and has not seen much of the society, and Louis always tolerates her. There is also the "free pen" of the black rider, which is no less classic than the paper kick ball in Johnnie Du's "Gun Fire"

    It's really speechless to see someone in the comments say it's women who are irritated and tell them to calm down. Are real women not calm enough? If every woman who is harassed, molested and humiliated draws guns like a movie, I don't know how many men will die in the streets. There's no chance for you to say "calm" lightly. The film did not give the two heroines a way to survive, which itself said that it would not work. The director used this story to tell us how abominable and damnable men who do not respect women are! If you can't understand this, it's either stupid or bad.
