On a small island that is basically isolated from the rest of the world, six families and nine people still maintain a very traditional patriarchal culture. Men can make a fortune, women are men's tools and sex slaves, and they can be ravaged by men at will. , and undertake heavy housework, domestic violence emerges one after another. On the island, people are taught that women cannot live without men, and men are women's support, so that women gradually recognize and accept the status of being subservient to men. As for a woman like Funan who has been ravaged by many men, she should be very grateful if she can marry a man, no matter what inhuman behavior the husband makes. However, her husband Wan Zong regarded her as a slave at all. When he found out that his younger brother Tie Zong had raped his wife, he was unmoved, because Funan was a sex slave, a tool to vent his sexual desires, for his dear younger brother Why not use it?
There are three generations of women on the island. The first generation is represented by Wanzong's aunt. She has worked hard for 50 years after marrying on the island, but her daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years. Young women also boast that women can’t leave men, otherwise nothing can be accomplished; the second generation is Funan, who is instructed by her husband Wan Zongqi at home, endures domestic violence, and is toyed by her brother-in-law Tie Zong. She is eager to escape This hellish life; the third generation is Funan's daughter Xiaoyan. Because Funan was raped by many men on the island, Xiaoyan's biological father did not know that Wanzong, who could not satisfy his sexual desire from Funan, turned to the undeveloped one. Xiaoyan stretched out her clutches. Not only that, Wan Zong instilled in his daughter the idea of objectifying women. These three generations, old, middle and young, reflect the unbroken tragedies and cruel growth of a woman's life.
The stupid and rough Funan is stupid, but she is careful and kind. She has many chances to escape, but she is forced to climb Liangshan step by step. Funan has long understood that women in the big city of Seoul can live freely, and they don’t have to live as pigs and dogs like the women on the island. At the same time, she is also worried that her daughter will be domesticated by the atmosphere of the island, and her daughter’s textbook can be torn off origami to play, Only books about life in Seoul should be kept and read. She longs to escape to Seoul, and has always pinned her hopes on her childhood friend, Hae-won, who is already an urban white-collar worker in Seoul. However, the indifferent Hae-won never took Funan's pleading seriously. Even though Hae-won was given the opportunity to come to the island for vacation, she still took the attitude of putting nothing to do with herself. Funan loves her daughter, and she can't let her repeat her tragedy, let alone let her be contaminated with the island's reactionary culture. If she doesn't take her away, it will be too late. Surprisingly, the prostitutes from Seoul can feel the pain of women better than the urban white-collar workers, and are willing to help Funan out of the sea of misery. On the island, there is nothing dirty about prostitutes, because the women on the island are not as good as prostitutes, and prostitutes rely on their own skills to make money and live happily alone. She told Funan that prostitutes are not the only profession in Seoul. After the prostitute's rescue plan failed, Wan Zong accidentally killed her daughter, and Funan was in despair. She hoped to bring Wan Zong to justice, but the people on the island perjured their conscience, because men always have the hegemony of words. "Why can women be stoned to death, but not men?" This is Funan's most powerful indictment against the culture of male superiority. Funan put his last hope on Hae-won, the look in his eyes was a kind of prayer that was trapped in quicksand and desperate for help, but Hae-won was cowardly. Hae-won's weak character is the fuse for Funan's violent resistance to oppression. Practice has proved that on the island, the law is invalid. In this case, let violence overthrow this evil system. Funan, who worked hard under the scorching sun, looked at the sun, "the sun seems to be talking to me", the sun is a bright future, a guiding light out of the sea of misery, take a sickle and slash at the devil, because he is completely desperate, Funan killed him. It's not people, it's the old culture and the old system that are dying. Funan eventually died at the hands of Hae-won, but Hae-won understood the root of all suffering. Women's collective silence and forbearance against evil forces are only more unfortunate. From then on, women will rise up and fight resolutely against the dark forces. In the end, Hae-won went to the police station to testify against the two local gangsters who killed a girl, and the girl was also killed because of Hae-won's death. Hae-won looked at the sun in the sky before testifying, which echoed Funan looking at the sun. Taeyang also spoke to Hae Won, actually Hae-won has found her conscience, she has matured. The sun shines on women, making women full of energy to stand up.
The film's director and screenwriter showed their deep feminist concern. Although the ignorant and pedantic cultural thoughts on the island are extreme cases, the inferior status of women is still subconsciously affecting the people living in the city. Even though women in Seoul have a lot of freedom, gender-based violence against women is still the norm. . It is worth mentioning that there are some depictions of female breasts in the film, which is exactly what the director uses in terms of feminism. In the culture where men are superior to women, a woman's body is a tool for men to vent their sexual desires, and breasts are destined to be tragic. Men can knead as much as they want, no matter if you are a prostitute or a sister-in-law. When they bathed in the spring together, Funan also "attacked" Haiyuan from behind. This is the embodiment of Funan's envy of Haiyuan's figure. Under the influence of the culture of male superiority and inferiority of women, Funan was also infected with a certain virus: women are materialized and rely on their bodies. to win the love of men. When Funan was determined to resist, she pushed away Tie Zong's salty pig hand, my body is mine, and you don't want to harass me in the future.
The fly in the ointment is that one of the plot changes is too fast to digest at once. When Funan took her daughter away, Xiaoyan didn't want to leave her father. She still wanted to win her father's favor by applying mask and nail polish, but she suddenly changed her attitude and wanted to leave with her mother in order to prevent her mother from beating again. It's too abrupt, at least from the scene of the film, the daughter has been insensitive to her father's beating of her mother for a long time, and her daughter is less than ten years old, and has been seriously infected with ignorant thoughts. If she suddenly makes this change, her The mind seems too mature.
One more question, did Funan have any idea of killing Hae Won? If she wanted to kill, when Funan was sitting next to the sleeping Haiyuan in the police station, Funan had every chance to do it, but she didn't do it; if she didn't want to kill her, why did she hit Haiyuan with the hammer so many times? If this issue is not resolved, it will affect the interpretation of the film. I'm not an industry insider who appreciates movies, and this question is answered by professionals.
