Usually watching a movie, you will be attracted by the story and the character. But the first admiration that came out after watching her was that the structure of this script is really powerful. It fits so well with the heroine's temperament. If each branch line is taken out individually, it will be a good story that can not only dig deep, but also widen the width, but all of them are willing to reduce the light and turn them into green leaves like big-name actors, and jointly shape the dazzling personality and life of the heroine (with her mother , father, ex-husband, girlfriend, colleagues). Every piece is just right, every piece ends in a green leaf, but is flawless. The main line has not been shaken or scattered in the slightest. From the rape scene at the beginning to the end of the final counterattack, this line runs through the audience with a strong rhythm and atmosphere. And all the branch lines are looming in the heroine's life, sometimes emerging like a reef, sometimes cutting the water like a dagger, and when the tide rises, everything is the same as before. This movie is bound to be associated with feminism. My personal understanding is that it is not a film about women's rights, because the lady Michele played by Huppert does not focus on portraying her from the perspective of gender, but in many places, gender is hidden , the boundaries of emotions are also blurred (the friendship between her and her girlfriend is really a long-term relationship that excludes the interference of the opposite sex and is extremely honest.), there is no guidance or direction in terms of values, or the only direction is "do what you want and don't go beyond." moment". If we talk about feminism at this time, it will become a limitation. She does not strongly belong to gender psychologically, nor does she believe in any religion, she just falls into life, not only drifting with the flow, but also having fun in time, that is, to bear the pain, but also to fight back hard. Life is originally free, and gender, like religion, is a limitation. Because wherever there is a border, it is a prison. (Are the last two sentences a bit far behind??) Michelle's honesty makes her strong and tough. I have to use "strong and tough", which seems to be a very positive word, because if it is honest enough, even in In the opposite sense, it can also radiate personal light. It seems to be an invincible woman, or she was raped at the beginning of the film, the vulnerable side (as a female body) was first expressed, and then the inner spirit immediately showed a strong, without the slightest self-pity, Showed gradually in an understatement. Sometimes powerful enough to be shameless. But is shameless a bad word? Who decides what shame is? Since she's not a moral role model, ordinary feminism is used in this film to be a bit of a street women's director. Since she has various relationships with people as a woman, and never goes against her natural jealousy and indifference, a different kind of feminism seems to be like A grumpy fighter who hates iron. Even so, her life is not messed up, people still love her, love her as she is, with appreciation, tolerance and compassion. She is not a conclusion to be advocated, she is just a phenomenon. The formation of this phenomenon has its own origin and destination, and cannot be replicated. We can imagine how she spent half her life trying to escape from the moment when she was in a trance and recalled how she stayed at the murder scene as a photo. She rebuilds her life and looks like a strong woman, but once that memory appears on TV, all she does is turn off the TV and go back to her self-created life as if nothing had happened. Can you think that she also deeply knows that she has been walking on the edge of a black hole, she must be fully armed, must be good at betrayal, be good at forgetting, be good at finding something to rely on in her sins so as not to be overwhelmed by it, and always shake like a puppy Like drops of water falling on your body, get rid of any details that make you collapse. But there will always be mistakes. As a mother, her son's behavior makes her out of control, and she sprinkles her mother's ashes like a madman. This was one of her abyss moments, a tiny breakdown, both falling and self-rescue. Nothing will come to the rescue, neither the police nor the cat. I think there is always someone who understands her, not complicated, such as her ex-husband, her girlfriend. In fact, it is a person who encountered extreme difficulties as a child, how to escape from memory and build the story of life again and again. Those skills that are enough for her to survive are like double-edged swords. While helping her open up the situation, they can also stab herself. You can't just judge with good and bad. And once a habit is formed, it will carry it for life and become its own dilemma. Stronger people, try to enjoy it as much as possible. I was reminded of Alice Munro's writing about a man who was on the run all his life, for whom life only came from, not where it went. When she told her story to the rapist from the perspective of a third party, she was actually inviting him to gaze into her own abyss. I guess she was more sympathetic than curious about why this man lived a two-sided life like this. That's why there was a follow-up between them, and she wanted to find out why he was addicted to it. She was no longer the half-naked 12-year-old girl, she felt that she had the strength to face evil itself again, so she plunged into it to face herself and find the answer. And he is the unsaved person, with a raw and absolute evil attached to him, the kind of evil that "I have to do this" to feel alive, Michelle finally chose to drown him. The female neighbor, who has a sacred religious belief, probably never had the courage to try the law and put herself into this evil to figure out its face. The more she put icons everywhere Yes, the more her husband is imprisoned in his own evil abyss. Her prayers were useless. Therefore, the old director also talked about the limitations of religion. If religion can't get rid of its own sanctity, or give up that sacred surface, and can't understand what evil is, it can't even talk about the redemption of evil. Just as the camps of angels and demons are always clear, angels and demons will always exist. (Thank goodness, I pulled it back again.) So, apart from the minutiae of life, each of us is not a phenomenon. Descriptive, indeterminate. Her attitude towards all the things that happened to her, whether it was the daughter of the perpetrator, or the victim of the rape, her attitude towards these things, just like the way the show is structured, don't stress, don't indulge, it's time to come What comes, what should go, only she is left. She is the tide itself. In the end, she also engulfed the man who raped her in the first place like a tide (this refers to her killing him), and no one knows more stories, no one knows that she also enjoyed him. I hope I made it clear "The structure of this script is so powerful. It fits so well with the heroine's temperament." This thing. (PS: I missed a positive message from the film - being raped is a physical assault, not shame, should not be a shadow of shame. Expressed casually and obviously, almost ignored.) It's not a shame, it shouldn't be a shadow of shame. The expression is casual and obvious, almost ignored. ) It's not a shame, it shouldn't be a shadow of shame.
