Alfie can be the epitome of many contemporary men - selfish, narcissistic, objectifying to women, insatiable, and sees "stable relationships" as prisons. He is doing a job that is actually dispensable on the surface. He is proud of the little bit of cheapness he can get by being clever, and he thinks that he is playing everyone in the palm of his hand. He never sees his subjects as "people" when he chooses his subjects: superior appearance, obedient and well-behaved character, or power that promises him little favors and little favors.
It can be seen that he has no doubts about his dominance in the relationship between the sexes. The impressive detail is that when Alfie went to Liz's house for the first time, he picked up the card among the flowers and asked, "From an admirer?" Liz replied, "One of many." Obviously, Alfie didn't take it to heart at that time. In his opinion, Liz is still an old woman despite being sexy and charming, and it is a great blessing to have his favor. This also led to a series of subsequent events-Alfie thought that Liz could not escape his palm, so he turned around and dumped the beauty who had been rubbing his ears and temples for a few days.
Why is it called a women's film? I think this film tells the story of the playboy Alfie on the surface, but it actually portrays the lovely girls around him very vividly. The female characters in the film are relaxed, thinking and ready to act. They are not pure and flawless "perfect women", they will plan for themselves, they will like the new and hate the old, they will admit their mistakes and leave firmly, and they will love instead of just waiting to be loved.
In line with the ending of the film, the men who keep running away from love have nothing, and the women who have the courage to give love are still beautiful.
