First of all, a big praise for the ending, the independence of French women is obvious - you cheated on my best friend, my enemy is not my best friend, or, not only, but also you. This is only one-sided in a lot of domestic works. You cheated on my good friend, and I don't want to care about my good friend anymore. So when I saw the ending of this film arrangement, I smiled in my heart, and finally stopped the stereotyped female image. I have personally experienced a good friend and an ex-boyfriend come together, and only accepted and blessed after a painful tossing and turning. I have a deep understanding of the transition from the latter mentality to the previous one. After all, there is no essential difference between intimacy and friendship. Just like in the movie, the two best friends also try to have sex with each other. It is a bit rude to use sex to forcibly differentiate the two relationships.
The heroine's father committed the crime of massacre because of religion, which is also echoed in the heroine's female neighbor. At the end of the play, the heroine went to say goodbye to the female neighbor-she said to take care of her with sympathy for her, but her reply was "he (the rapist's neighbor) at least got what he wanted from you" . That is to say, she has always been aware of her husband's problems and her crimes, but she has always been warm, friendly and religious from beginning to end. So for her, will the Lord forgive her being an accomplice in witnessing a crime without stopping it? I'm afraid it's okay in her heart. Her husband is troubled but still a good person, so what about the heroine? Just like the public hostility that pervades the whole movie, in her eyes, the heroine is a demon, an object who can redeem good people. This ignorant religious spirit is no different from her father's.
Before the change occurs, the values of the heroine may be confusing to many people - if she is raped, she just continues to live calmly; when someone sends an insulting video in the company, she is just thinking about how to catch the murderer; her mother had a stroke and the first time Doubt if it was fake; father committed suicide and blamed you that you would die because I came; no one could call the person who raped her in a car accident to rescue; dare to accept dangerous sexual invitations; dare to admit to a good friend that he is Someone who cheated on her husband; dared to confront her ex-husband's new girlfriend—all of which sounded so powerful and unfeminine, not even humane. But the film also repeatedly emphasizes the fact that her father's crime is a bowl of political overnight meals that is quite useful, and will be picked up by the media every once in a while to guide the public's perspective. At the beginning of the charge, social media, in order to make the story more dramatic, portrayed her as an "accomplice" when she was 10 years old, and then no one considered that she and her mother were innocent and what would they do? To rebuild their lives, the public just vented their anger—the private, unreasonable, irrelevant, and even superior anger, vented on these two innocent women (children); including the mother’s What the little fiance said: I have at least fucked the murderer's wife. This is the case in many cases in history. The close relatives around the murderer always bear the public punishment for him. And the heroine's hatred of her father is very straightforward. She is also his victim, but she is accepting punishment for him. And by the end of the film, the heroine should also understand that her father is also a victim - mistakes made because of religious challenges irrational, should not be deprived of the right to be a human for a lifetime and treated like a beast to continued oppression. Applying for the right to parole, which has not been obtained many times, means that the public has always been rendered a collective hatred of his mistakes, which is beyond the scope of an individual's atonement. It is not unreasonable that the heroine can grow into such a cold and hard person - after all, this cold and hard from all around her has always surrounded her.
And look at the people around her: she and her ex-husband obviously still maintain a good relationship, and even get jealous because he has a good new partner, but he still refuses to get back together-you must know that this is very important in domestic dramas Rarely - just because he hit her once, so even if he has regrets, it doesn't work. The heroine clearly defends her ego, and if you cross the line, nothing will happen. I personally see this as a defense of boundaries that deeply loves oneself and is the foundation of an independent personality. Although to many, this behavior may seem too rigid and cold. Her relationship with her friend's husband doesn't seem to be friendship other than sex - although the heroine has emphasized several times that we should continue to be friends. After the heroine had just been raped, he still only knew that my wife was not at home to have a shot; after being stressed by the hostess to terminate, he still did not give up, and had another shot with the hostess who pretended to be a corpse; even at the celebration banquet In order to "create a sense of competition" in his imagination, he and his wife kept showing affection in front of her, just to keep this fragrance. It is not worth deceiving his true friends for such a man to catch a lot. That's why the heroine confessed to her friend - she didn't want her good friend to continue to be ashamed of her husband's infidelity by carefully looking for clues in the future. This is also the difference between French women and Chinese women: for Chinese women, catching rape and arresting mistresses seems to be one of the responsibilities of the main family; for French women, this is a shame, because it does not respect their individuality first of all , and then disrespect the individuality of others.
And the change in attitude towards her son, I personally think it was because she accepted him as her own essence. At first, she disliked the prospective daughter-in-law very much, thinking that she was here for her money; similarly, the daughter-in-law also disliked her arrogance. So in the female lead, she doesn't know her son, but at least she thinks that the prospective daughter-in-law is not worthy of her son. As for the black child born by the two, she believed that her son was deceived and could not see the truth, so she pointed out again and again. Until her son was kicked out by her prospective daughter-in-law because her car broke down and she resigned, and she agreed with the statement that her prospective daughter-in-law had kicked him out, she began to reconsider the two. Maybe the son just wants to be a good father, whether it is his own or not; maybe the daughter-in-law is with him and really likes him, even though this person has immature shortcomings. And the son at the back of the film came back and beat the neighbor to death. I think the heroine planned it in advance - she deliberately let her son take charge of the celebration feast, and then agreed with her son on a secret code to let her son step on time to go to her. Home - that's why the son looked so confused when the two of them left the banquet.
And why is it that the body is very honest (interested in the neighbor's sexual hobby), but the mind is planning not to? She needs a fresh start. Father is dead, and the public will gradually forget his crimes, and naturally she will also be forgotten. And at this time, setting yourself up as a victim is also a stroke of luck. And this one was also guarded by the detective, which is why there was such a questioning cross-examination: asking about their relationship, asking if it was possible for her to know it was him in advance, etc.
On the other hand, in the heroine's life, although she made herself more affectionate later, the kind of perseverance in the past to build a new life is undoubtedly painful. And only after suffering repeatedly under pain can such an independent soul be created. It's the same for you and me.
