From start to finish, I've been worried about whether I'll turn off halfway because I can't bear it, whether they'll find out and steal the money Noble has saved for more than ten years, whether they'll find out that he's actually a woman and drive her away, Would Helen be disgusted that he was a woman, would it have broken his heart. Too afraid that it will end in tragedy, every look, every daze, every fantasy of Noble is so sad. Fortunately, what I was worried about happened after Nobo's death, let Nobo be brave for love, no longer obey his promises, and let Nobo leave with a beautiful fantasy. The fat doctor left the hotel after Nobo's death, which is a trace of warmth in the tragedy.
Why did they decide to become a man?
Peggy ran away because she couldn't bear her husband's drinking and beating, and was self-reliant, and didn't want to invite gossip. Because of a gang-rape experience, Noble was able to support himself in order to not be hurt again and to get a job as a waiter.
This film can be regarded as a better work criticizing the patriarchal society. It also awakens people by exposing women's choices in it. Women need unremitting, brave and powerful struggles to achieve true liberation and equal status and dignity. Rather than just pretending to be a man in order to avoid possible harm to himself and to enjoy the same status and dignity as men. In fact, changing oneself to adapt to the environment is far less than a firm direction. It is more meaningful to fight hard. The former can only get sympathy and the sadness of not being able to truly be oneself, while the latter is a comedy when it succeeds, and even if it fails, it can also promote social development. The tragedy of progress.
Is Nobo a Gay? Does he love Helen? I don't know, even he doesn't know, Peggy came and told him that it could actually be like this, and he yearned for it. Nobo's monotonous and pale life experience made him as innocent and innocent as a child, he didn't understand anything! If you choose someone, treat her well. I think Helen's boredom is also justified. You don't love me, you don't understand love, but you think you love me. He just longs for a place that truly belongs to him, a place where he can take off his pretense. At the moment, someone who can live with him (he doesn't care who that person is, after the death of Peggy's partner Catherine he even asked if they could run a shop together, saying that he too could be with Peggy like Catherine did. Ji lives together)
In a word, the greatest artistry of this film is that it is not broken or explained, but it gives people an unspeakable sadness and space for thinking.
PS I remembered how Mr. Lu Xun commented on Nora's departure, "Nora may have only two ways: either fall, or come back." I think Mr. Lu Xun didn't think of another way-become a man
haha
PPS I always feel that it is actually The film also talks about "childhood shadows", such as the libertine "you're a boozer, just like your father" "I'm not like that bastard!" But he is.
