The name of the film translates to "she", which is very appropriate. The whole film is about Michelle.
First, let's be clear about the central idea: the film tells a story of revenge. Revenge is not appropriate, to be precise, it is judgment.
I will prove my point in the following statement.
As you can see, she is a strong and ruthless person. Sober and calm, she watched everything that had happened and was happening. No one can do the "right" thing for her, so she does it herself.
——"Dealing with lunatics, that's my specialty."
After being violated, Michelle cleaned the glass fragments on the floor and took a bath. The bathtub appeared red foam from the wound on her lower body. Michelle calmly to erase them. She still eats, goes to work, changes locks, buys anti-wolf spray, and goes to the hospital for STD tests. The doctor asked, do I need to prescribe some blocking drugs for you? She said no, I checked it online, there are too many side effects, and I have to work. She smiled calmly: Let it be your fate.
Michelle has never resisted fate, which is why she is free. To resist is not to be free.
After knowing that Michelle was assaulted, her "lover" who had had a sexual relationship with her still asked her to masturbate for herself. She said: "You know I had traumatic experiences, just two days ago. The bald man said: You make people feel like you are strong and nothing happened. Sorry if I look a little numb. And then the bald man's line was brilliant, he said, "A large part of my character is just unpredictable." Fate is the same, isn't it?
It always presents more unusual challenges to those who are strong.
One of the evidences: Michelle accomplished a revenge in fantasy. (00:30:45)
In the imagination, Michelle did not let the abuser succeed, but smashed the bad guy's head with blood and blood with the plate at hand. She focused on the fantasy in her head and couldn't help laughing.
In fact, the film is also very interesting in the setting of supporting characters. The stupid son, the mediocre and cowardly ex-husband, the son's arrogant and unreasonable girlfriend, the blindly arrogant, greedy and numb lover, the mother who has no longer felt shame, and the father who has spent half his life in prison...
And that is them after all . own life. Nothing to do with Michelle. She wasn't even interested in interfering.
Her best friend Anna said: Call the police, you are the victim, this time is different. She said: "I was also a victim at that time. (referring to his father's murder when he was ten years old) Look, how sad, in Anna's subconscious, she still thinks Michelle is guilty.
Don't need anyone else. Michelle has planned her revenge.
She devised the perfect lure on the drive home with him. When she got out of the car, she knew she was about to make it. (Observing Michelle's expression at 01:55:05) She is confident and calm.
She designed the sm game she had already enjoyed into a perfect crime scene, tipping chairs, breaking vases, smiling, and waiting to be abused.
Evidence No. 2: The son broke into the house and beat the abuser on the head. Michelle got up from the ground and looked at the pained expression of the abuser. Michelle's eyes flashed like never before. light. She smiled with the excitement of victory. Her eyes are saying, "You deserve it." (01:57:51)
That's it.
