Four and a half stars, the narrative is smooth, and the words have something to say. The love and tolerance of the Leleaf family for Sophie is worth three stars, and good employers are hard to find; the viciousness of the servant/nanny was put on the big screen 25 years ago for people to be vigilant, worth one star, and the end of the awesome bang is worth half a star (The following contains spoilers)
People without thought, he must worry about.
The middle-class Le Lifu family lived a prosperous life, and their daily talk was about opera, art, and travel. Yes, God is very fair. He has given you a lot of wealth, and will take away a lot of your ordinary life troubles. The Leleaf family is elegant and courteous like aristocrats. The salary of the new nanny Sophie is adequate, and they also provide the cost of learning to drive (including the learning time of course), the cost of contracting glasses, and the transportation. They also provide a house with a TV and meals. live. However, they did not conduct due diligence on the origin of the servant Sophie (and did not call Sophie's old employer to understand the situation, and it was not clear that Sophie was suspected of murdering her paralyzed father), which obviously lacked basic awareness of prevention and provided high-quality It is necessary to conduct a background check for welfare positions. Their lives are too pampered, they haven't experienced the hardships of life for so long, they don't even have a sense of risk, and they generously give a week buffer to move out in the face of inferior servants who lie and threaten family members. This also led to the end of the story when the Leleaf family went to extinction while watching the classical opera, which became a real festival. The vigilance of risk is like a pig that cannot be scalded by boiling water. The sound of beating and smashing in the house is ignored - the mother wanted to see what was going on, but was pulled by her daughter and said not to hinder her recording; after the first opera was over The father decided to check the situation, and then there was the sound of explosion/explosion, and he still focused on watching the classical opera quietly, his heart was not too big, until the mother couldn't sit still and asked the son to leave the living room to check the situation, it was too late, the living room became A ruthless ceremony, a homage to the classical elegance that came out on TV, and a homage to the Leleaf family who were ruthless and ignorant of reality. You indulge in ideals/dreams and turn a deaf ear to reality, and reality will definitely hit you hard. Then you know that you are born in sorrow and die in peace.
Analysis of the two heroines:
Jenny, a proletarian cultural person who works in the post office: she is literate and understands literature and art, but she is unable to get rid of the poverty class, and she is angry that she cannot get pregnant or even get an abortion; she was defeated by the long-legged beauty mistress of the Leliffe family in the beauty pageant, and she lost the possibility of crossing the class , full of distorted resentment towards the rich, especially Bourgeois, the male master of the Le Liffe family. Because Bourgeois married the beauty pageant champion, and this beauty pageant champion was Jenny's dream to climb the ropes, so she hated the Bourgeois family very much, peeped at the mail packages of the Le Lieves, and wooed and incited Sophie, who was also a proletarian who had nothing to do, together. Deviant riots/revolutions. Jenny's experience of burning her daughter to death and Sophie's similar experience of burning her paralyzed father to death made them hit the ground running and hate each other.
Maid Sophie: An illiterate, illiterate, illiterate, uneducated, and extremely self-abased. It stands to reason that such a fool is too easy to reveal flaws, but she has encountered a very neurotic, kind-hearted and unintentional person. The Leleaf family, so even with poor acting skills and poor excuses, they have successfully passed the test many times. The strong contrast between Sophie's stupidity and the stupidity of the Le Rives is extremely tense. Sophie is the epitome of indifference. She is not familiar with the world to get to know and date a post office clerk who is hated by her employer, and take Jenny back to her employer's house to play, thinking that she has completed the class jump by becoming the Leliffe family, and she can act arbitrarily. This is one of them. Her ignorance lies in the fact that she is illiterate after she faked her academic qualifications to get a good job, and she is content with the status quo. I just want to play time, I was bored to do housework in the beginning, and hang out together after I met Jenny. This is the second. Her lack of education lies in the fact that every time she uses lies to escape and copes with illiteracy, she is very blunt and abrupt. Will abruptly pull away to escape, this is the third. The employer warned Sophie not to bring Jenny to the house, and the good-faced Sophie threatened to smash the dishes; the employer's daughter learned that Sophie was illiterate and was eager to seek a way out for her to study. And revealed her ugly behavior of eavesdropping on the phone of her employer's daughter, which is the fourth. Killing her paralyzed father to remove the burden is not ruthless, but she can't be ruthless towards herself, she doesn't study, she doesn't make progress, but instead she turns to Jenny, a proletarian cultural person who has failed in her life to seek solace. Her behavior is stupid and dull. This is the fifth. Sophie is good at nothing but housework. He found a good job with a fake degree, stepped on the board of class jumping, and then paralyzed himself, thinking that he had become a member of the bourgeoisie and dared to challenge the employer. It is a pity that his comprehensive ability is too poor, he is flustered when encountering problems, and his lying is lacking in order. It is inevitable that he will fail in the class jump, and the fact of illiteracy will be discovered and returned to its original state. Sophie is very much like the ignorant and confused students who were instigated by cultural scholars to act as vanguards in the previous student movements, and acted as an accomplice to the cynical proletarian cultural people. Smart people incite, ignorant fools destroy their own lives.
Die in peace, human nature is evil
The Leleaf family died suddenly in an elegant classical opera. Jenny, a post office clerk, was hit by a car by a church priest in the joy she thought she could hide the murder. Sophie, the servant, left the scene happily after cleaning the scene of the murder. The tape recorder recorded the murder. Announcing the disclosure of social death. The classical opera pays homage to the happy family of Le Lieve, and the cruelty of reality is caught off guard by Jenny and Sophie. They all "died" in comfort. Jenny, a post office clerk, hated, slandered and slandered the bourgeoisie after seeking class promotion. Maid Sophie used lies to gain a favourable working and living environment in order to gain a sense of identity, embracing the cynical proletarian frustrated literati who preaches class antagonism, Jenny, after the illiterate lies were exposed, encouraged by the cynical proletarian frustrated literati, inspired The evil thoughts in the heart, the violence/revolutionary "revolution" against the bourgeoisie. This is the inherent evil of man. The Leliffe family was wealthy and had a good education and moral upbringing, thus concealing human nature. The role of education and morality is to educate. If people are inherently good, what is the use of education and morality? Is the good need to be taught or the bad need to be taught?
end
I agree with the statement that Jenny was killed by the church leader at the end of the film because religion (morality) interfered with the violence of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat. First came the intervention and condemnation of violence by morality and public opinion, and then the police (law, law enforcement) came out to deliver justice. Carefully forging the scene didn't expect to end up with a recording and it would fall into the hands of the police - it's also interesting to say that it's wrong to shoot at books (culture).
The gap between the rich and the poor does not represent class antagonism or struggle; there is also a gap between the rich and the poor among people of the same class, and there will also be confrontation. Abandoning the stereotypes of metaphysics, seeking truth from facts, and analyzing specific things in detail, can we evaluate people and things more objectively. Wearing hats on everything and raising the flag of class antagonism, what is the difference between Sophie, the servant in the film who bluntly escapes when she encounters the risk of being exposed to illiteracy. Beautify the anti-social personality of the poor and give excuses for unprovoked violence against others. Money is the original sin, so people who have a lot of money are guilty? The gap between the rich and the poor is a problem of the social distribution system, a system problem. In the final analysis, it's just a soft pinch of persimmons, so why bother.
President Xi said in his New Year's speech: Happiness comes from struggle.
Jenny's cynicism and Sophie's ignorance and incompetence naturally cannot lead to happiness. Without effort, it is unfair to those who work hard to achieve class leap for those who complain about themselves.
Born out of trouble, life should be self-improvement.
Tucao section:
In many film reviews, I saw parrot-like criticism of class struggle and class antagonism, ridiculed the hypocrisy of Little Bourgeois, and even sympathized with Sophie, the illiterate who killed Le Lieve's whole family, because she was illiterate and worthy of shame? What's more, the director's French New Wave background was drawn to this film. . . Come on, New Wave is a 1960s thing, this movie is a late 90s movie. . . I very much agree with a comment from the film reviewer of "Class Ass, Resist Your Sister": Don't fucking think that you will follow the trend and write a film review and no one will know that you are illiterate. I don't see class struggle or bourgeois hypocrisy in this film. There is only a paternal illiterate Sophie who has no acting skills and lacks thinking logic. It is possible to get a good job in the deceived naive Bourgeois family and get a class jump, but because Sophie is useless except for her housework ability, she loses the good game. Finally, under the instigation of a proletarian cultural person (Jen, a post office clerk), he went to violence/madness/destruction.
I don't know when it started, but only mentioning the bourgeoisie and bourgeois is hypocrisy, just because it has been criticized by many famous people? Then when it comes to mentioning the proletariat, it is a little sheep. At the very least, in the film of the cruel tribute, the performance of the Leleaf family is not hypocritical. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that human nature is inherently evil and thinking that all the good in the world are hypocrisy. The problem is that those who criticize Bourgeois as hypocrites feel that they are the true, good and beautiful of the proletariat. The family of four treats Sophie sincerely, giving her a good salary, a room with a TV that will not be disturbed, and the cost of learning to drive and getting glasses. Sophie will pick her up at the station and go to the city on the first day There is a special car with glasses in the district. Basically, he will drive this maid to work when he is free. Sophie’s living conditions are higher than that of literate and artistic proletarian post office staff.
Some people say that the price of glasses is provided to make Sophie learn to drive, and the cost of learning to drive is provided to allow Sophie to learn to drive for better exploitation. . . The problem is that the Le Reeves in the film did not force Sophie to learn to drive, but only mentioned it once, and Sophie reluctantly gave up. Not to mention the movie in 1995, now in 2020, employers who hire a maid to buy a grocery cart and pay for learning to drive are all employers worthy of recognition. There are also some people who say that the Leleaf family intrudes on Sophie's life in all aspects, and it is hypocrisy to discuss Sophie without any scruples - openly discussing whether to drive the car for Sophie, how well the servant Sophie can do housework, and what to do in her breaks. No matter what, if this is considered intrusion, then there is no work that is not intrusive.
And some people say that Sophie's time off is being exploited? Throughout the film, the Leleaf family advised Sophie several times not to do housework and look for entertainment during her rest time. On one weekend, she asked Sophie to help with the work for her daughter's Sunday birthday, and then she went to church to help. This is also considered bourgeois. The rest and exploitation of the proletariat? In the beginning, Sophie had no friends and nowhere to go. She couldn’t watch the TV and didn’t want to reveal that she couldn’t turn on the TV. She was illiterate and had no entertainment. She took the initiative to do housework to pass the time. to the employer exploiting her. . . Everyone's sympathy and sense of substitution for the proletariat is really strong.
Others said that the living environment of the servant Sophie was very different from that of her employer, and that the kitchen was designated as Sophie's work place. These were all exploits of Sophie. Whether it is a socialist country or a capitalist country, the working and living conditions of workers are not as good as those of capitalists. Yes, exploitation is everywhere. You are right, but the "equality" you want only exists in communism. This There is no ideal place for you to stand on the earth so far.
