Feminist game

The strange plot of a group of boys chasing a girl at the same time and helping each other cheer up from time to time will probably not happen to girls. If a group of girls unite to "take care" of the same boy, it is probably not to chase him, but to punish him. Of course, if any man gets this kind of treatment, he must have found it himself, and he deserves it.

The main content of the film is a battle of revenge by the three heroines who were deceived by the same scumbag. The Taiwanese translation of the "Avenger League" is really wonderful (in fact, many Hollywood movies in Taiwan have taken this homophone translation, which is full of fun; but the main translations are pure entertainment popcorn movies, classics It is generally not translated as such). The three avengers in the alliance also perform their duties.

Cameron Diaz, who is used to playing the silly eldest sister, was robbed of the limelight by another member Leslie Mann this time, so she played a successful career as a strong woman, acting as the "brain" of the team and providing funding Technical support is similar to Iron Man in the Avengers. The turbulent Kate Upton, her body is her greatest weapon, but her brains don’t seem to be particularly agile. When everyone is working out a battle plan together, they will only put forward the naive suggestion of "kick his bastard" and just open their mouths. The Hulk who keeps talking about "Smash" is almost the same (although I know that when it comes to "turbulent waves", most people may think of Captain America the most). Although there are such two powerful teammates in the team, the core soul figure is the seemingly most useless wife Leslie Mann.

It is undeniable that Mann’s performance is a little overkill, but most of the laughs in this film are indeed made by her, so her hard work is better than the excess. What she likes most is the loss of control in her office when she first went to Diaz. Here, the detail of "opening the window to breathe" can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the unfortunate encounter of the last scumbag. Of course, her dog was also very aggressive, but unfortunately it seemed to be less in the second half of the movie, and there was no such thing as the most ruthless sword in the final revenge. The role of this wife is not only the most funny in the whole film, but also the saddest and most tangled in the whole film. After all, the other two heroines have only spent a short time with the scumbag. Usually, when they encounter this kind of thing, at most they will leave the scumbag after swearing and continue to live their original lives. However, this didn't work for her "righteous master", because she was a person who had lived with her for many years and was already a part of her life. So when this kind of thing happened, no matter how she wanted to choose, her world was undoubtedly turned upside down. Fortunately, this bewildered housewife came up with a plan "to turn his life upside down" as soon as his brain was heated up, so that the three heroines had wonderful revenge. But with the deepening of revenge activities, the wife hesitated. After all, her feelings for this man were not comparable to those of the other two. On the night of the banquet, the couple’s love stories in the hotel room made the situation ambiguous. I almost thought that the scumbag was going to be whitewashed here, and then the couple would “go and cherish” from now on. Fortunately, it wasn't, but this paragraph did have a big impact on the alliance of the three heroines. But the wife finally recognized the true face of the scumbag, and the avengers gathered again and gave the scumbag the end he deserved.

In fact, the first interest in this film was when I was surprised by Nicolas Costvaldau in the trailer. I wanted to see what James Lannister was like playing Bora. The most important role in the film is still three women, who gave him relatively few performance opportunities. His main comedy is that the three protagonists take turns to be tricked once, plus the final "debt must be paid." The estrogen is the stage that everyone who watched the trailer has been looking forward to, but the feature film seems to be slightly different from the trailer. The phrase "I feel like I need to wear a bra" in the trailer seems to be missing in the main film, or it may be that I didn't catch it clearly; the wife asked him if the sword under his hip was no longer tall and straight, and the gesture seemed to be correct. Nothing; but none of these affect Xiaoguo, this scene is still the most hilarious moment in the audience. There was diarrhea, his expression in the toilet was so expressive, I felt that he didn’t seem to be so painful when his hand was chopped off in the TV series. Then he went home wearing those bright red pants and saw When he entered the house, I secretly asked, "Fuck, isn't this Iori Temple?!" Finally, in Diaz's company, he found himself being placed by the heroines, and the Lannister family’s rich financial resources were completely wiped out. The performance of that section gave me the feeling that "it’s not that a family doesn’t enter a house", the same exaggerated neuroticism as his wife Leslie Mann, and the wobbly body movements (I doubt him Was it deliberately acting like this in order to show the effect of estrogen), although it was a bit too much, but it was full of freshness on him, so I also like this scene very much. In the end, he was dragged away from the car with a swollen nose and a swollen nose. Then the old injury was not healed, and he received another old punch, which was really pleasing. For scumbags, it is necessary to "remove the scum."

This time, Taylor Kinney, who played Leslie Mann’s younger brother, and Kate Upton, the human chest, acted as the male and female vases. The former is very obedient to keep the duty of a vase, send a sweet smile in time when he needs him, and hide aside and leave the stage to the female men at other times. When he first appeared on the stage, he saw Diaz’s unruly sister saying, "You can't sleep with my man and want to sleep with my brother. This is too greedy!" He didn't expect the other party to sneer, "You are greedy, he is your brother, you What's the use of keeping it!" Her counterattack was full of malice, but what she didn't know was that the gentleman who turned them around had long been doing sex with her twin sister, the queen mother, in another world. Over the demo. Speaking of another vase, Kate Upton, his position is a bit awkward. Although she is known as the No. 3 heroine, she has a serious lack of presence in front of the two elder sisters who are experienced in acting, and the role of the role in promoting the plot is not strong. This role can only be understood as a pure benefit for male audiences.

The most interesting part of the whole film is actually the process in which Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann became best friends in the first half. In our traditional concept, it seems that a regular wife should be in conflict with a small three. In fact, this is still a male-centrism idea, that women should revolve around men and break their heads for men. In the past two years, there has been a popular online appraisal of bitches and bitches, and the female compatriots have seen each other as foxes. The enthusiasm for Jian Bitch activities actually stems from the insecurities of some women, worrying that their men will be seduced by the bitches. In fact, this kind of insecurity is completely unnecessary. It must not be a good man who can be easily hooked away. It's useless to keep such a scumbag. Someone is willing to take it as soon as possible. Even if there is a bitch, it is forced out by a scumbag. So instead of pinching each other, women might as well unite and punish the scumbag like several heroines in the film. In addition, I am sympathetic to the junior group. I feel that they are under too much pressure and blame. A considerable part of this (in fact, I think it is not an exaggeration to say that all) should be borne by the derailed person. Marriage or love is a matter for two people and has nothing to do with outsiders. Therefore, the responsibility for maintaining this relationship belongs only to the two people in this relationship, and outsiders should not bear any responsibility for whether the relationship between these two people is strong. As a free man, anyone has the right to like anyone. But when you are bound by a relationship, you are obligated to the existing relationship. Men who derailed often argue that they were seduced, but the problem is that the person who seduced them didn't put a knife on their necks, and it was them who made the decision to derail. Therefore, in the affair, the derailed person is the one who should bear the main responsibility. The so-called juniors, we can only say that they (if they know it; if they are caught by the juniors like Cameron Diaz in this film, then it’s another matter) don’t worry about other people’s feelings. All the pressure of public opinion should be put on these people.

In the end, deduct a star because the film has been blacked out many times, and the black is too straightforward and not humorous enough. I am very careful.
