child, I read Journey to the West, and what I wanted most was not the golden hoop stick, but the vase in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This small vase is invincible when it is in use, it needs water and water, and it can be brought back to life. Will calling the Bodhisattva a vase aunt arouse the anger of the gods?
Later, after reading more gossip, I understood that vases cannot be added to the front or back of a person's name casually.
The story of "Vase" is probably a French version of Nora. Of course, when French people tell stories, they always have to be more romantic and beautiful.
At the time of the strike frenzy in Europe, the husband was unable to save the deadlock, and the wife was ordered to fight against the big gangs. Later, when the husband came back and took over the company by despicable means, the wife had no choice but to leave the company. With the help of her son, she entered the political arena and became the mother of everyone, a generation of women. It is also interspersed with various gossip and juvenile affairs, family relations, husband and wife relations, father-son relations, and even the relationship between the third, fourth, and fifth, which are intricate and fascinating.
This is a very different ending to the story of A Doll's House.
I can't remember clearly. After Ibsen's Nora left, Mr. Lu Xun seemed to have written an article "After Nora Left", saying that Nora had no more than two endings, one was to fall, and the other was to go home. Probably because she does not have economic power.
Probably because of the difference in time and place. Because the wife in the movie owns 20% (uncertain) shares of the company. Yes, this is the advantage of the shareholding system.
Although it involves female independence, feminism, politics and society, the director did not pretend to be serious. We all know that reality is not as beautiful and idealistic as the stories. But after watching this film, after being happy, doubtful, and angry, who has reason to criticize such a slightly relaxed attitude? Do you have to break, you have to die, you have to be violent? The director said, huh, maybe not necessarily. Perhaps this is a French tradition, after all, the flag of pacifism has been flying in the French sky. But who ordinary people want war?
For just over two hours in front of the screen, you can swim in a tumultuous, but still human, joyous, unbridled utopia. Even if you think that in the end, the scene where everyone shouts mama together is too small and fresh, but this is a hope of reconciliation after all, should this be right?
Of course, you have to believe that home is still home, whether you go back or not, it is there.
