Feminism in the Stephen King Way

Most of its novels and movies are thrillers and suspense. No matter what type, there must be a core that the author wants to tell and express. How to say "I love you" in Wong Kar Wai's way? How to say "feminism" in Stephen King's way? Take her out for SM.

The marriage problem that the heroine needs to solve during this trip is actually her own self-identification and face-up.

escape. 'Escape is shameful but useful' was slapped in the face, from the 'solar eclipse' incident in childhood, the father's sophistry education, let his young mind lay a value' can not be said, this will cause more trouble ; Catering, this can maintain the status quo', this value has been with her growth from this moment, including marriage. She understands that her husband has a potential tendency to disrespect women, understands that there are problems with her sex life, and understands the communication problems between the two. She chooses to keep the status quo silently, and even deliberately caters to it, which indirectly or directly contributed to the tragedy of this trip.

Feminism. All the male characters in the play play the opposite, and at the same time contribute to their growth. And the female character, that is, the self in three states, in addition to recalling and increasing conflict, she helps herself grow from one positive (fantasy self) and one negative (childhood self).

End escapism, self-identification, and promote female independence. This is the core of the movie.

Let's talk about performance. The main reason for the low score is that the front and back echoes are too stiff. It seems to be trying to explain the rationality of the subsequent events, but it is a little clumsy to show it. Maybe the director will leave some blanks in some places. The effect will be better.

In any case, this is a movie that relies on a paragraph of "please help, my husband died suddenly during SM, the wild dog was eating his body, I was handcuffed to the bed, I was physically and mentally exhausted, what should I do in a hurry, wait online" , is enough to attract people to open the movie.

    It was supposed to be a "Hahaha I'm playing too much now" story, but it ended up being "Ha? Playing so much!" It had a good beginning and a bad ending.

    Sure enough, it is very Stephen King, the surface accident, but the inside is about female trauma and self-healing. Nightmare, imagination, monster metaphor, personality game, the director handled it very well~

Gerald's Game quotes

  • Young Jessie: The people who were supposed to protect you from the monsters turned out to be monsters themselves...

  • Jessie Burlingame: This monster was real, real as they come. As real as the cuffs, as the dog. As real as the eclipse.
