After reading "Suffragettes", "Ms. Sloan", "The Tailor", "All the Time", "Women of the Twentieth Century" and "Thelma", I found some books and read some articles, and the idea of feminism began to really enter me. But after watching this movie, there is an embarrassment that female heroism is overplayed.
The core of the movie does not involve the core of the unequal treatment of women. Men have been used to the "preferential treatment" for thousands of years. Suddenly losing all this will make them feel lost, and they may even doubt themselves, because the sense of identity comes from a person. People are in an environment where the feminization of men is considered shameful, then men who have lost their privileges will feel that they have lost their male identity and become as "unprivileged people" as women. After all, the war of gender is Humanity’s wars, human selfishness, greed, and arrogance, and the need to belong, make things that are glaringly unequal take for granted.
The film sets up the struggle for women's rights in a superficial joke, which is neither humorous nor very cheap. The competition is like a farce to stimulate the audience's nerves. The males are portrayed as one-celled, superficial, childish, and comical, as vulnerable as Marvel's villains. There are also many branches and leaves that appear chaotic and cumbersome, such as the scenes of gay people, such as the dress of girls, such as the marriage of the male protagonist. (Sister Shitou also wrapped herself in the sheet when she was filming a passionate scene. Who would wrap herself in the sheet alone when she was passionate, or maybe two people together.) The whole film does not clearly explain the inherent value of equality, and it looks messy. The heroine became the female partner, and the equal rights became the monster fight, but the results were different. But the reality is that women's equal rights have gradually become politically correct, that is to say, equality on the surface has been whitewashed, but the deeply rooted concept of inequality has been hidden deeper under the whitewash. Equality is not for women, it is In order for everyone to be able to "be themselves", men don't have to think that they need to support everything, and women don't have to be anyone's appendages. People can become truly complete and independent individuals who respect each other and connect with each other. I think this is how is the meaning of equality.
