Unfortunately, due to ambiguity, the name Miss has no Chinese translation. And Miss Sloane is the identity of the heroine of this film - an unmarried, shrewd, and capable senior political lobbyist. Miss Sloan is also here to smack us ordinary people who get fat when overworked and break out when they stay up late - she relies on drugs and works frantically without sleep; Home greasy Chinese fast food. Even so, she still maintains her exquisite appearance every day. I planted grass with sharp eyes while watching a movie: this outfit is beautiful! That lipstick shade is beautiful...
During the Trump campaign, Ivanka played the Women Who Work banner and published a book to support the election. In the promotional photo, she is holding a baby, sitting in front of a desk with delicate makeup and hair to deal with copywriting. This is a lot of netizens. A lot of girl netizens Po posted photos and said that I would show you the real Women Who Work, and then all the photos of self-improvement poured out: sitting in front of the computer unkempt with half a slice of pizza in his mouth, oily face, acne, fat and dark circles ... The real situation is that if you work overtime and eat fast food continuously, you will stop on the scale not long after: Ha ha ha. Ahhh! woo woo woo...
So let's start talking about the movie from the female image. The British "Financial Times" once selected a topic for the public image of professional women, to the effect that in public media images such as various company official websites, commercial promotional photos, etc., professional women are often "young" and "smiling". , they have different age groups and different facial expressions than men in the same type of pictures. In comparison, women seem lower-status, flattering and unrealistic. Women in real work situations don't always smile or look so young and beautiful.
Are some people overreacting when it comes to feminism? Let's take a look at Hollywood's shift in topics and scripts. Take cartoons as an example. The protagonists of "Inside Out", "Zootopia" and "Frozen" are all brave girls. In Disney's fairy tale live-action movies, the heroines actively pursue true love instead of waiting in the original version. The role of male rescue. It is already standard for political correctness to describe new women, and many film critics don’t have to shy away from talking about women’s rights because they don’t want to arouse the disgust of the other half. In fact, let the other half know more about us, and mutual understanding is the basis for building a harmonious relationship. .
The female characters in this film are a little too masked. The unmarried heroine has been portrayed as a cold-blooded robot, and the "mother" has been portrayed as an image of public sympathy because of her love for her child. Because the character of the heroine in the whole story line is elusive, the screenwriter added a "I was hired to win" to her to complete the logic closed loop. However, I think the effect is far-fetched. Maybe it's a reference to Trump's character traits? (Is this your trump card?) I watched a documentary analyzing Trump’s character, interviewed his collaborators, biographers at various stages of his career, and dug into his upbringing. Although Trump grew up in a wealthy family, his father's education to him is that "life is a game, and you must win." The documentary uses many of his early winning experiences to prove his complex personality today, and it is quite convincing to watch.
But when it comes to this movie, Miss Sloan's series of motivations cannot be explained by "win", not to mention that the court statement at the end, which is the climax of the film, is worse than the ending of "The Defender". 108,000 miles away. The reason lies in Miss Sloan's many anti-human characters. In fact, in the real workplace, one of the advantages of female leaders is greater empathy. When Miss Sloan set a trap to force her subordinate to step into the spotlight and say that she had survived a shooting and nearly killed the subordinate, her leadership skills were already negative. . This is not only a serious lack of professional ethics, but also a strategic mistake. The secret of Miss Sloan's ability to win every step of the way, as she said, is to be one step ahead of the opponent and always surprise the opponent. But with so many reversals in the movie, where every move is counted ahead of the opponent, the number of permutations and combinations required is unimaginable. So many plans need allies to support, and apart from the two eavesdropping and the last glasses girl, she actually doesn't have enough supporters.
I've been nitpicking so much, in fact, it's to explain why the plot is so exciting and the acting skills of the model worker are so online, but it's a bit of a movie for me to play. Movies resonate with us precisely because each of us has an extremely multifaceted human nature, good and evil, and a well-written script reminds us of our own good or bad. But Miss Sloan's indifference is that she doesn't even inspire the empathy of our own indifferent side. The style of the script is very similar to Sorkin's work. At the beginning, they use fast-paced lines that require a lot of background knowledge of American politics to crush us in terms of IQ. Really enjoyable. Although it is a show of skill and IQ, in addition to the good look and feel, the reason for my high four-star score is also because of my personal interest in the topic of guns, and the script itself cuts into the political ecology of Washington from the perspective of a political lobbyist, an interesting movie, There's no reason not to give high marks, right? What's more, the acting skills of the cast led by the model worker are really in place.
The topic of guns, and topics such as abortion, prostitution, surrogacy, drug use, homosexuality, and euthanasia are all in varying degrees of ambiguity. Different countries have different legal items for the above-mentioned topics, which involve citizens' right to dispose of their own body organs, right to obtain safety, and right to choose a living method, etc., and there are reasonable reasons for both pros and cons. There is a saying: If the government does not legalize XX, the underground black market will harm the interests of more people. I don't think this can be used as a basis for supporting the legalization of XX. It is impossible to legalize the above-mentioned controversial issues quickly because of the crackdown on the black market, right? The law must be introduced according to the intensity of actual demand, public acceptance, and sufficient ethical discussion. I think that's the good thing about this movie. It incorporates the debate between the pros and cons about legalizing guns in the storyline, and the perspective is raised to a higher level, allowing the audience to see how the media, politicians and lobbyists manipulate public opinion, and absorb the pros and cons in the lines. Opinions can be regarded as an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of gun issues, which is brain-burning but nutritious.
PS, after the legalization of gay marriage in the United States, it seems that it has become a trend to mock Russia for not allowing homosexuality. Although I support LGBT equality, legislation on this type of issue is always influenced by the ethical boundaries of local religion, folklore, and the public. Universal values do exist, but people in various countries and regions will have different judgments on what is moral and what is immoral in specific cases. Accepting different views and being tolerant of different viewpoints is the light of humanity in this increasingly flat world.
PPS, please do not attack personally in the comment area, Be nice~ Thank you!
